[Fernando]

Woakes not for sale im afraid im already light on bowling talent

[Mad for Chelsea]

a busy day so far, with Keedy, Roland-Jones and Stirling all arriving, and Benkenstein, Plunkett and Claydon on their way out. I'm reasonably happy with the squad now, so not overly interested in too many deals unless the offer is good, waiting for the auction.

[JDizzle]

I'd do Read for Mustard.

Phillips + Patterson for Borthwick?
