Swindon Town agree $6.8M for Gonçalo Franco
The clubs have shaken hands with Swansea City; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Ryan Delaney breaks a bone — 92 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Edward Pearson steps up from the Swindon Town academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Edward Pearson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Paul Clark joins the Swindon Town first team
