I cant see Mowbray panicking at all. think he will stick to his guns and not over pay for players

 

So what you are saying is that if the general price of players does not drop we will go into the season with what we've got? I also don't think Mowbray decides what we are paying. He will have given a wish list and a rough estimate of cost. The finance people will then take over.

I generally think we've misjudged the market and our buget is too low in today's market. If we had gone for Rhodes on loan for example our estimated budget would be blown on a player we did not own.

Mulgrew made a dumb mistake yesterday. He made a couple last season. Every player does. That doesn't make them dumb footballers. A silly generalisation.

no I'm not. I think we get players in because Mowbray will have decisions to make.

There are mistakes and dumb mistakes, that one against Preston was up there with the Matt Derbyshire v City clanger. That one only cost us two points but I don't think he ever kicked a ball for our first team again. The one against Preston was crucial to our survival.

He's an improvement on Nuttall , probably an improvement on Samuel but will he score enough goals to keep us up ? I doubt it.

There is also the possibility that a new club has come in for him. Will be interesting to see where he turns up. Fingers crossed.

Yes the chairman admitted that in the last 48 hours that Leeds have made bids for both Maddison and Marriott.

Not sure why Nuttall is getting grief. Mowbray has to take the blame for how his season went. Being dropped for Samuel despite being in form ruined his confidence.

In his subsequent first team appearances he was half the player he was becoming in the U23s.

Correct me if i'm wrong but he said they had had a bid from them but he didn't confirm if it was for Maddison or Marriot. Or am I remembering that wrong. I could defo see him ending up at Leeds tho, although I did expect them to use the foreign markets with there new manager and that.

edit - just found his tweet in response to a fan asking if leeds had bid for Maddison and Marriot.

Two tap in does not represent being in form. His overall game wasn't up to scratch and his body language at times was just as poor as Samuel's. Granted did not see him in the under 23s but his first team performances were not upto scratch.

Unfortunately Maddison requires a decentish fee so won't be us.  Leeds makes much more sense.

Where was that?  Its not on his twitter. All he has said is one club has made three bids for Marriott in last week and a team that wasnt in the Championship last year has met the release clause for Maddison but are trying to pay it in installments instead of upfront. So it wasn't Leeds.

He has a release clause which is apparently £2.5m. It isn't Leeds.

Moot then

Why?   We are on about first team and his performances for first team not upto scratch. He can be a world beater for the under 23s but if he is not the first team then in today's finances we can't afford him. We need players for first team

Let's hope he turns out as good. Another Zurab would be great in the current team.

As do the finest in Rovers and any clubs history. I saw Bryan Douglas score the dumbest of own goals against Burnley.

Well said sir. Tyrone is having a bad day.

What has my age got to do with it? I am perfectly compos mentis with an IQ of 140. Only my knees and kidneys are feeling my age.
