January Transfer Window.

You know things are quiet when there's an ongoing discussing about Aynsley feckin Pears on here.... -

Hyam & JPVH would be a quality centre back pairing. -

I take your point but we couldn't have been any less attacking if we'd tried at Wigan. We need to strengthen in the middle, take control there and we might be able see some tangible improvements. -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

I wondered where you going with this when I first started reading it. -

You'd like to think so. Some of the comments have been risible but I don't sense too much capacity for self-reflection in some of the more self-righteous types on here to be honest. One guy (can't be bothered to search back to see who it was) even said 'I want Broughton out'. Pathetic really, it was always about waiting for the window to end before taking stock and unless things go catastrophic from here on in I'd suggest things are looking pretty good. These might be famous last words I know but fingers crossed.... -
v Blackpool (a) - 31/8/22

Cracking team performance. Blackpool got exactly what they deserved - feck all. Young Adam Wharton, take a bow but everyone put a shift in. 2-3 more signings and we are capable of having a very good season. -

You do like to reach your assumptions quickly. Must be nice to always be so convinced of the efficacy of your beliefs. It won't be ludricous if he has a storming season - at that point £5m might seem like a bargain, no? Ultimately it's too early to say isn't it? I'd hazard a guess you also thought the people who lumped money on Brerton to score 20 goals last season was also ludricous given his record up to that point.......... -

I'm not prepared to write Szmodics off so quickly. Lots did it with Brereton and were ultimately proved wrong. Give the guy a chance FFS. -

All very laudable but loyalty in the football world usually gets you nowhere. -

I think it's unarguable that Mowbray was allowed to outstay his welcome. He should have gone after the 2020-21 season when the signings he was allowed to make suggest that was a 'going for it' season and we all know how that turned out. -

You need to calm down a bit fella ...he shared a bit of info and you were all over him like a cheap suit. I've no issue with people sharing stuff and no issue with them not revealing sources just because you had a paddy and stamped your feet like a petulant child. -

Gav, I know you like to get up i arms but if JDT gets £8-10m to spend I won't be joining you. Maybe, like most of us on here, they knew Mobray was going to blow it like the choker he was. If JDT does get some money that suggests to me they'll clearly have more confidence in him than they had for Mowbray as the dying embers of his reign fizzled out. -

Perhaps, but also more than fair to describe him as 'bang average' I think. Probably not that much between decent and bang average in the scheme of things (composure, passing ability, footbal nous etc... all play a part in deciding where players fit on that spectrum..) -

Fixed it for you but I agree with your point - namely that that was far too much of a weekly wage to be throwing at him. We can get better quality than him for +£20k pw. -

Nothing personal, I just find it a strange thing for you to be banging on about. Let's agree to disagree and hopefully move on to talking about new arrivals soon .. -

You certainly sound frustrated. I didn't realise you had a direct line to how JDT was feeling by the way..impressive. He's more likely just frustrated with dumb journalists and their inane questions. -

I'd much rather we go about our transfer business quietly and effectively rather than worry about answering reporters questions. I wouldn't call it dysfunctional as the policy to keep schtum seems a deliberate one. That might frustrate you but I'm sure they'll not be losing any sleep about that.
