But suggesting that we doesn't give young players a chance, when I believe we had one of the youngest teams last season beggars belief. I didn't imply they didn't get a chance. It's the way Mowbray has publicly called them out and generally treated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d need to get to know the group first. The table-tennis-athon isn’t until the end of September so it’d be a few weeks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney > Arsenal, Cunningham > Rovers, Bell > Celtic? Fing hope so...! I would say you imagined that. Arsenal got Tierney cheap at £25 million and even though I am not convinced by Lennon, that would be an especially atrocious signing for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell would probably get by in the SPL, but can you imagine him in the Champions League? I actually want this transfer to happen just so I can see this.

It would take the pressure off the weakest part of his game, defending. Imagine him going from that to marking Messi in a Champions league game.

It's panic buying if he does get them in but I'll take that as it means he will have realised where the issues are. Finally. However my initial point still stands, it ain't happening.

Panic buying or holding out for the right targets? Can be spun either way. Especially as we were linked with Hanley earlier in the window. I hope you are wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post garnersfags Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 Anyone questioning the Hanley signing surprises me. He emerged from Phil Jones's shadow and became a really solid Championship central defender. Lenihan will be a good defender but he currently needs a solid defender alongside him. Charlie will then genuinely be used as a replacement quarter back or goal kicker to be brought on to score vital goals in the 2nd half of games. Trust me, Hanley will cut out 30% of the goals we shipped last season. Just wish we were really getting him.... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ewood Ace Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 The Last win that Tyler Magloire played in for Rovers was on 12th March. The last win that Charlie Mulgrew played in for Rovers was 1st January. The last time Tyler Magloire played and we kept a clean sheet was 12th March. The last time Charlie Mulgrew played and we kept a clean sheet was 6th October. Never mind beating the top teams we aren't beating any teams with Mulgrew in the team. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A £6 million pound centre half at the prime age, ex club captain, Championship winner last season. Yes please.

RoverKyle Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Literally never heard of Greg Cunningham before he was linked to us, but he sounds like a good signing from what people are saying. If this does indeed go ahead, at least it's a sign that Mowbray realises we have an issue at left back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lenihan was only called in after Cunningham moved to Cardiff and he hasn't been in the squad since moving there Two good solid country lads though. I would say they have similarities in their aggression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers11 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Cunningham would be an excellent signing. I’ll believe it when I see it. Him and a decent CB today and we’ll have gone from an average window to a very good one. That’s how crucial the next few hours are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
