Didn't he only say he thinks we have an agreement of a loan if we want it. i.e. an option on someone which is different than an imminent signing. Lets wait and see before buzzing.

Look like we want him as number 1. Hilton or Fisher to be number 2 next season i wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about this keeper, we definitely need one but his credentials don’t instantly shine but I can’t profess to know much of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our goal difference has shown a marked improvement after that result. However you are right about the next game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBRFC Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Has anyone said it's a right mid? Thought it was just pure speculation from Sharpe that he said that a right sided attacker was favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 3 hours ago, Gavlar Somerset Rover! said: Only ever played one season in the Championship - highest level he’s played at - and he’s 32. Largely a league one man. Surely we should be aiming slightly higher for a number 1? Agreed, but, sadly, it would seem we haven't a transfer pot to pi1ss in.

roversfan99 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 4 hours ago, chaddyrovers said: Very experience keeper. Not sure he knows much based on this! When I look at that side yesterday, the main 3 players that first require improving are LB and the 2 wide roles. McLaughlin, video showreels aside (they made Brereton look competent!) has apparently been in poor form at Sunderland so not sure if he would even be an upgrade on Walton.

What I liked about him was in the game I was at was his sense of danger. Sunderland we're bombarding the opposition and he hadn't had anything much to do. All of a sudden a ball was crossed in by the opposition and the Sunderland centre half miss headed the ball completely. it was heading to drop in right under the cross bar. He was already on his toes and he moved backwards really quickly and then flung himself backwards to claw the ball out from under bar. It was a really top class save and he'd been stood watching the game for 10 minutes. He looked very competent and calm, nicely unhurried in his approach to the game.

To be fair, Mowbray again came out yesterday and said that we hardly have any money to play with so that does somewhat strangle the transfer thread. Difficult to speculate on a nameless signing with no information and I dont really think theres much in the way of ITK. The buzz is naturally in the thread of the game in which we got such a brilliant result. Edited January 19, 2020 by roversfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 If people don't know anything about Mcloughlin as a keeper,please do the rest of us a favour and resist the urge to say he will be A-a bad signing B- not an upgrade on Walton. Enough servings of humble pie were served up to those who wrote Downing off and ye surely must have seen him before he signed. So ya,if you don't know anything about a player, don't come on running him down! Just say you don't know, there is no shame in that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The new signing being muted is surely the lad Jones from Rangers. Anyone else would be pretty out of the blue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ya,if you don't know anything about a player, don't come on running him down! Just say you don't know, there is no shame in that. I questioned whether he would be an upgrade based on the fact that whilst I cant proclaim to have seen him on more than a handful of occasions when Sunderland are on TV, I do know that he has been dropped for part of this season at a League 1 club as I mentioned. Surely this potential worry can be flagged? Im also incredibly skeptical about the prospect of him signing based on Nixons lack of insight as shown by the screenshots on the Mulgrew situation within 10 minutes. Out of interest, is it ok based totally on conjecture and things like highlight reels to state the positives of what a player we know little about can bring? Signings and expectations can go either way, Downing had very limited impact on games at Boro towards the end and at his age there was always a red flag there. Hes come here and is enjoying an indian summer. Adarabioyo had a poor spell at West Brom, their fans didnt rate him at all and nearly everyone on here correctly pointed out that he was being played in the wrong position so there was always a question. Hes been a very good signing. Conversely, Johnsons signing was greeted solely with positivity. And hes been with occasion exceptions, a poor signing and has been unable to get a regular start for months. So it can go both ways. But if we cannot make a judgement on potential signings, based on positives and negatives either ideally from what we have seen ourselves from a potential signing, or from other evidence, positive or negative, good stats, bad stats, being dropped, being a sides best player, playing out of position, having a side built around him, price, whatever it is, then we may aswell close this thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
