I did a quick search for news on this and found out their club owner just died yesterday morning.

The Travers rumour is in the S*n, for whatever that's worth.
If Travers can get that, you'd have to imagine Kelleher can get at least that, if not better.
Stoke's attempt to sign Wolves’ goalkeeper Matija Sarkic seems to have failed, and Stoke manager Alex Neil has therefore turned his attention to Mark Travers. Mark Travers to Stoke City transfer latest with eye-catching stat to tick big box - Stoke-on-Trent Live (stokesentinel.co.uk)
Bournemouth have reached an agreement to sign Andrei Radu on loan from Inter Milan,might facilitate Travers moving on…
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
With a bit of luck will get a permanent move so if they're bringing in a GK with the option of making the move permanent.
Season-long loan to Stoke confirmed.
Discussions with Enda Stevens and Ben Pearson convinced Travers to move to the Potteries. (Stoke Live, today)
Since Bournemouth are bringing in Radu with an option to buy and Neto signed a new three contract it would be good if there's a similar option in Travers' loan deal.
Though I doubt it since a good season with Stoke and his value goes up. Which I think he will have because this is a very good signing for Stoke if they want to push on from bottom half strugglers and make a push for the play offs. Think Millwall will be kicking themselves not getting a deal done if they had interest.
After his performances for Coventry this year Stoke should be all over McNally to further strengthen that defence.

Travers recalled by Bournemouth following Neto injury; Andrei Radu needs backup. Meanwhile, Jack Bonham gets the gloves for Stoke.

Bit of a waste for Travers. On the bench for 3 games and then back to third choice. We could have had Kelleher v Travers on Wednesday but presumably he’s cup tied (played in the first round vs West Brom).
Possible he’ll be back with Stoke in January
This is dissapointing news. He is not going to threaten Bazunu or Kellagher's position from the bench. Stoke was a real opportunity for him. Hopefully he gets more games this year, whether at Bournmouth or back out on loan.
Is Randolph still there, and if so why? He and James McCarthy are stretching to breaking point the accepted definition of a professional football player.
Harry Arter on 40k a week and not in Forest's 25 man Premier League squad stretching it even more than either of those two I'd say! Some wages he's on to basically be an assistant coach in their youth setup.
Randolph is finishing off his career as a backup keeper and cashing the cheques. Backup keepers do have an important non-playing role to be fair, it's part of the job for many, maybe most keepers to provide cover for much of their careers.
McCarthy is crocked and just hanging around for the money. Plays a lot of golf in Glasgow apparently. That one's on Celtic. Anyone doing any research on him knew he was all but finished before he signed there, if they were dumb enough to give him a long contract then he's well within his rights to sit tight and take the money.

How had he been doing for Stoke out of interest? I haven’t been tracking him much at all.
13 Championship appearances, 2 clean sheets, average of 1.38 goals conceded per game.
He was doing well, though the same weaknesses as ever were still apparent (distribution and command of his area).

Alex Neil discusses the loss of Travers, partly due - he is led to believe - to Randolph being injured, and how Jack Bonham has returned yet again to the starting XI
