Downing, Tosin, Holtby, Cunningham and Johnson were all decent signings last summer. In the main, we can find decent players, that’s not the problem. I’d say that finding Dack easily makes up for the likes of Whittingham, Gladwin etc. The biggest criticism is that the only transfers we’ve spent big money on have been failures. Disagree completely unfortunately. The main acquisitions have been Brereton and Gallagher. The others were free transfers or loans because MOWBRAY spent that money where he could have spent it on better players that can make an immediate impact rather than 35 year olds and a loan that won't be ours come the start of the 2020 season.

Whether they are free,loans or whatever, it doesn't matter if they improve the team. It's an odd angle to look to criticize Brereton was a disaster of a signing for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines they’re getting a bit more demanding - probably quite rightly after shelling out £12 million on Brereton and Gallagher.

Absolute magician in my eyes Yes, I have tried too. There was another great Field TV goal on London region's Big Match. It was a brilliant lob at Vicarage Rd-a bit like Shearer's v Norwich (7-1)-and I remember his toothless celebration...and me and my mate miming it at a disco the following week!

Tugayisgod Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Never scored a tap-in in his life did Tony. There are great goal scorers and scorers of great goals. Tony Field was the latter. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we are getting a right sided attacker in as the LT thinks, we can forget about Maddison or Curtis. It would be pretty stupid to recruit two wide attackers without sorting the defence and goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
