That would be huge. Simply, Bell hasn't shown he can step up to this level. Off the bench he may be ok. Cunningham could be one of the best signings we have made in years. Why do it to yourself?

Popular Post Miller11 Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 5 hours to go on transfer deadline day. Things are hectic. Mowbray’s had to spend the morning training midfielders to masquerade as full backs and strikers to stop getting in the box and stay out wide where they belong. He’s also had to find time to publicly ridicule a promising young player and keep the fans happy with another completely inconsistent and incoherent press conference, not to mention checking in on Ben Gladwin’s progress. Waggott will be on the phone to India. He’s currently number 47 in the queue. They should be pleased. He’s freed up literally hundreds of pounds a week by allowing Magloire to go out on loan, and those special boots will pay for themselves. He’s got more important things to be doing than pissing about asking if we can please get signoff to borrow a defender, those viewing platforms don’t erect themselves. He isn’t wasting his time though, while on hold he’s sending texts, WhatsApps, Facebook messages, Instagram and snapchats to Jack Rodwell to see if he fancies a kickabout in Fulham on Saturday. He even swiped right on tinder. He is almost ready to consider the possibility he is being ghosted... but it’s probably worth trying bebo and MySpace first. On tip of that, neither of them have had any dinner yet. They aren’t going to consider that Sodexo muck, especially at £7 for a hot dog... and Northcote no longer offer a discount, so it’s either send Bob Coar to Leavers or go for a drive out somewhere. Suhail is at his desk playing minesweeper. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever about saying that to Bauer, he can't say that Cunningham will be behind bell and Hart.It's just not plausible. If he is signing him, it's to be first choice left-back. He cost Cardiff over £4 million pounds last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briansol Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just now, JacknOry said: The point is - why is it always the young guys? He would never say anything like that about Mulgrew and the like. He has though. When Lenihan was injured in League One, he was on several occasions complaining that we had to play our defensive line lower because Mulgrew and Ward "wasn't the most mobile players". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Cunningham and Hanley in, would certainly see us with an improved team on paper. I do get the feeling though, that no matter who plays back there we will still concede a shed load of goals. That side on Saturday looked so unorganised it was scary. Hopefully better players in them positions will help that, I just have my doubts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue blood Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 A left back is good but that leaves me with the fear that may leave Bennett unhindered at RB and Mulgrew getting a fair amount of game time. Not that I'm complaining too much on this Bell hasn't stepped it up. Tbh I feel TM was unfortunate with Bell, lb of the league 1 team of the year, great rep, on the cheap with a fair bit of potential. Sadly the potential or thinking ability hasn't developed anywhere near what expected. A permanent transfer for one of the defensive incomings is a must unless we want another problem summer next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will know at 20 going out on loan in league 1 is the right thing. Tin hat off He should not be digging out the young lads when it is the older players who aren’t performing. Tyler did well on his debut. He particularly should not be doing so publicly. Mowbray is fostering a clique at the club and it isn’t healthy. He’s also making excuses for his own failure.

A player mutiny would see him out of the job quicker than poor results IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this high fiving bollocks and holiday photos on Twitter mean nothing when you've just gone a goal down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallwood & Samuel I could see leaving on loan to league one before the end of the month. Nobody is paying cash for them today though, why would they? And as for Evans, we'll be stuck with him until the end of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Greg Cunningham is a signing that makes perfect sense, is a vast improvement on what we have, and would sure up that left side of defence. I don’t expect us to sign him at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
