Jamie Bowden was released by Spurs, currently on trial with AFC Wimbledon
It seems like the off season is less and less every year!
kelleher started for liverpool. halftime now. distribution has been good. made one very good save from a deflected shot which looped over him and he had to dive backwards and tip over the bar. conceded a worldie from a corner. lars stindl managed to power a volley from the corner at the penalty spot.
Jaros (ex Pat's) on for the second half and concedes early.
It's been a quiet pre-season for our guys - some ok moves (Ogbene, Knight, Manning, Duffy) but still a lot of players we're waiting on news of with time starting to run down. Kelleher the obvious one. Parrott. Connolly (if we haven't given up on him). Even Cannon (if he hasn't given up on us). Omobamidele was linked with moves but no news in a while
Omobamideles mother was on Facebook a month ago celebrating the move to AC Milan, must have gone pear shaped since.
Its really not that complicated!!!
Might not get his move till the season has already started given he's been left at home from Spurs pre season tour because of a groin injury.
Wonder what's up with Connolly. Might Brighton be haggling with Hull (assuming they want him back) about the financial details for a loan or trying to get a few quid this summer but insisting they buy him.
After selling Ellis Simms then Cannon would now be seen as third choice CF at Everton. Might not move this summer unless they bring another CF in.
John Joe Patrick Finn got a pre season second half run out earlier for Getafe, the coach, José "Pepe" Bordalás Jiménez who had been favouring him before leaving for Valencia is now back at the club since April.
Glimpses of Brown, Keane, Cunningham (PNE) and Taylor (Ipswich) in the recent pre-season friendly.

OK, thought I'd better start doing some round-ups here
Aidomo Emakhu scored for Millwall against Gillingham:https://www.millwallfc.co.uk/news/20...am-v-millwall/
Sinclair Armstrong scored what I believe is his first goal for the QPR senior team against a team that appears to be rivals to Harry Potter's school - Vorwarts Steyr: https://www.qpr.co.uk/fixtures/first...pr/?tab=report
Jake O'Brien has been busy - he recently got ten minutes for Crystal Palace against Watford: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-re...ord-july-2023/ He also played the full ninety against Crawley: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-re...-season-2023/; twenty minutes against Brondby:https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-re...-season-2023/; and the first half against Barnet - Sean Grehan came on for the second half in that one: https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-re...son-at-barnet/

Interesting that Jake O'Brien seems to be closer to the Palace first team this pre-season than Adaramola or Phillips. Typical for us of course that a centre back is progressing ahead of a left back and centre midfielder.
Just to add to that, Adam Alimi-Adetoro has been getting significant minutes in most of Sheffield Wednesday's matches - so of course he's a centre-back
Here's an interesting one - former "Irish Messi", Zak Gilsenan scored for Blackburn against Barnsley - admittedly it was a youthful Blackburn side but he recently signed a two-year contract with a 12-month option: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/j...-4-3-barnsley/
Jason Knight has started well at Bristol City - he scored his second of preseason against Oxford on Saturday: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/report-b...oxford-united/
Callum Robinson has scored three times in Cardiff's pre-season including against Bristol Rovers recently - Mark McGuinness has hit the net twice: https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news...bristol-rovers
Aidan Keena scored the only goal as Cheltenham beat West Brom: https://www.ctfc.com/news/2023/july/...omwich-albion/

It's Porto I think
But I cant recommend going to a home Benfica game enough. We went to a game last March and my god the atmosphere was off the charts
Real fans, all generations, no trouble.. 50 euro a ticket and the hairs stood on my neck with the build up pre kick off
Alex Murphy seems to be making a bit of an impact in Newcastles preseason. Might get him a decent loan for the season ahead.
Its really not that complicated!!!
