There's going to be an awful lot of unhappy players in Mowbray's squad. As someone has pointed out, Mowbray can only pick 11. On the other hand, the bran tub of Tony's Tombola has just got even deeper. Stand by for more chopping and changing and different tactics every week to try and keep the camp happy. Jesus Christ, are you being negative to play devils advocate? If we’d signed nobody you’d be complaining that we have too small of a squad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roverinbelfast 294 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 It's hard not to be excited after today's developments. The gaffer has gave himself some real selection headaches. It definitely has the feel of a last roll of the dice by venkys and the management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so....unless Liverpool have a clause in the deal guaranteeing him game time. Think he’s guna play the brereton role so most likely an upgrade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just the one issue... The goalkeeper hoarding is ridiculous, especially if Fisher doesn't go out on loan. He should have already been sent out as we are well covered there and he doesn't look good enough to be the backup anyway, rather have used any of the other young goalies. Now we are just going to have a pissed off bunch of youth goalies if Fisher doesn't go. It would be Fisher, the Greek, Hilton when returned, and even Eastham all fighting it out for one u23 spot! Eastham probably isnt getting near that tbh due to seniority from the others, so that makes it him, Goddard and Dowling is it, fighting for one u18 spot. Too many is better than too few if it's in budget, but goddamn that's excessive. Overall I think we have been over cautious with the youngsters going out on loan in general, and it will stall their development. Apart from that, all looking good for the first team, just hope the signings prove as good as we hope. I'd expect the young Greek lad and Fisher to go out on loan.

Agreed, but my point was given the absolute shit show of the Venkys reign thus far I'm basking in this transfer windows glory, it literally couldn't have gone any better. And perhaps we are on our way out of the last 8 yrs of shite... excited to see if Tony can do what he really should with the squad he has assembled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I expect them all to play their part with this year's schedule. Would certainly rather have it this way than looking too thin! This is where the team spirit and good attitudes come into play also.

There can't be many clubs in this division with a squad that size. The wage bill must be astronomical. It sounds as if Tony has been given every single player he wanted. Anything other than a top 6 place now would be a failure on his part Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to play football at the intensity that we have been then you are going to need a big squad. We also have a long season ahead of us and in a short space of time.
