Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Tormund]

Pontus Jansson I wish! Will be a prem club.

Chapman is already injured? I thought we'd at least get a couple of matches out of him before he broke down.

He's ill isn't he?

Not sure, I read he was injured but if it's illness then I'm relieved.

Charlie Adam who was supposedly training at Brockhall this summer just to keep fit is apparently now getting a run out in the blue and white......

Back to the days of bullshit by the spade load i'm afraid.

This Raya situation will send a clear indication as to where we are at more than anything else so far this summer.  All eyes on his perceived replacement ( if thee is one ).

[neophox]

Adam? What the heck... meltdown

In fairness even Mowbray is surely not stubborn enough to think Leutwiler is a capable No1. If he starts the season in nets then the manager should be rightly lambasted for it. I'm absolutely sure we'll bring someone in though, whether it's Hart (god forbid) or Darlow.

Would've thought (hoped) Charlie Adam was nailed on to return to Blackpool given they're splashing the cash.

Mercer can’t wait to see what job you pick up in the football league with your expert knowledge of all things football! Of course TM knows what he is doing he’s been in footie for 30 or more years as a top pro and decent manager whereas you? 

Raya is not the best keeper around small in stature but good shot stopper he is not a commanding figure and he makes some calamitous decisions as we saw last season costing us points .

If he did, IMO, he would never have done the Brereton £7million+ deal.  Full stop.

Would you be ok with Andy Fisher? Promising keeper already here. Started today’s game

Rothwell?

I like Rothwell.  Advocated his cause since I first saw him.  Has a spark about him.

Might just urn out to be a good un.  Let's see how he goes over the first dozen matches PROVIDED our manager doesn't play silly buggers.

So that's one and a half good signings.  As far the rest...........................

Keeper really isn't the position to be experimenting with or plonking young'uns in to grow for a season or two and sell.

Get something proper in there and give the rest of the team a solid platform to withstand the usual chopping/changing, blooding youngsters etc

Brentford I reckon.

I very much doubt that Brentford have the pulling power to sign one of Leeds best players. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

I don't really see how we need Adam with the centre midfielders currently here. Strange one for me.

No, we need an experienced keeper, especially with our pathetically poor defence which is unlikely to be much improved on if at all. Get Fisher out on loan so he can make his learning mistakes elsewhere and come back to us stronger.

Leeds maybe skint !!

[Tugay's Right Foot]

#Rovers 2nd half: Fisher, Bennett, Magloire, Wharton, Thompson, Adam, Smallwood, Buckley, Butterworth, Armstrong, Nuttall.

 

looks like the entire team changed for second half except for Fisher in goal. Today’s about fitness.

Hardcastle’s name popped up a few times for Barrow

Replacing Raya with Fisher would be utterly ridiculous. One of the most idiotic decisions possible... therefore I think it’s plausible it could happen.

Mowbray's taking the **** now. Shades of Robbie Fowler - "Only coming in to train and get fit" - next news he's been handed a deal.

If we are actually interested in that Newcastle reserve their fans can't wait to get rid of to replace Raya then part of the deal should be a stipulation Mowbray goes the other way to take over as their manager.

With a few centre mid players unavailable - possibly doing him a favour to help him get his fitness up

Is that Lewis Thompson, from the u-23s?
