Signings make it a difficult summer for moaners

Joe Rankin-Costello makes it six signings this summer for the Championship new boys - and this time it's not from Luton..  Charlton have offered a four-year contract to the Blackburn player, who joins for an undisclosed fee.

Richard Cawley notes: ‘Lot of talk about his ability to play all over the place but interestingly Nathan Jones talks in his signing quotes talks about the 25-year-old as "a really versatile and technically excellent midfield player.” NJ: "We're really delighted to get Joe on board. He's a player I've watched for a number of years."’

Cawley adds: ‘He fought his way back into favour at Blackburn Rovers.  He is a goal scoring threat – especially against Millwall.  He is a handyman in a number of different positions.  A move down south can get his career motoring.’

The speed, number and quality of signings is depriving pessimists of one of their favourite summer narratives.
