  1. Palmer has some similarities to Dack in how he can be quiet for periods of the game but can have potential match winning moments. His ability mentally gets the better of players at times, you can see players frightened stiff of him and there are periods were I've seen teams double up on him. He might drift in and out and need to work on the defensive part of his game but he will free up space for other players like Dack.
  2. Did he play for the under 23's last night? Saw a tweet from Sharpe or have a misunderstood?
  3. Success for me. Considering we kept our best players, added more quality and still have Rodwell and Davenport to potentially strengthen us further. Disappointed not to get Chapman, I think he could have been the difference for us in a few games that may have pushed us further up the table but realistically he will probably be a Rovers player in 4 months time, same for Bauer also. There is a lot of pace, flair, talent and hard work in this side now for the first time in almost a decade. It's sort of like watching so many other side's in the past and wishing our side had the same qualities, only this time we do.
  4. The club will announce if there will be no incomings. The facts it 5pm and they haven't done just yet makes me think that there could be a small chance. Anyone if it's possible to get an extension to get loans done in the same way the permenant window works?
  5. Like us with Mowbray, a lot seems to rest on Dyche, if he goes then it would be interesting to see how they cope.
  6. Getting greedy but be gutted if the Chapman one didn't come off. Can see it being a too little too late situation on that one.
  7. For the first time in a long time I wanted them in the cup. I'd love to see us play them with a full strength side now.
  8. Thanks for reminding me... Although I must have been reminded about 5 times this week! ?
  9. What time would a player have to be signed for tomorrow to available for Saturday?
  10. Brereton. To be honest I'm not too convinced on Marriott either considering he's only had one good season. Waghorn is not an investment, too short term. Harrison might still turn out to be a decent signing for Ipswich, to get a player for under a million who scored 14 league goals in not a particularly great team, I'd say that's a no brainer and low risk. The one signing I am pretty wounded about is Edwards after watching him take us to bits on 2 occasions. Unquestionable talent and definate resale value, his price has already increased no doubt. As far as forwards go, I think you generally get less value for money. Overall I think Adam Armstrong could potentially turn out to be the best value forward in this league. Just hope he can get himself into double figures this season.
  11. Yeah, seen him a few times. I'd banged on about him to friends being a decent player a while ago. All I'm saying is that I think he'll have to perform consistently well for us first before we can call him a good value signing.
  12. I'm not sure you can call it a steal until he's proven himself good value.
  13. The only ones I can see definitely going out on loan are Travis and Nuttall. Other than that I can't see Whittingham or Caddis getting a move.
  14. Aye but Freeman was a different type of player all together... I took it as if we were trying to sign a few for decent fee's.
  15. Check out @BBCLancsSport’s Tweet: Hang on... So we were trying to sign other players for similar fee's aswell as Brereton??? That's how I took this. How would we able to comply with FFP if these came off? I'm worried after making one big signing never mind two or three. Says we're trying to sign more players too... I'm gobsmacked tbh. After Brereton, I thought that would have probably been it.
  16. Wow, that's good then. To be as quick as he is at that size should be pretty useful.
  17. 6.3"??? I thought he was only 6ft. Is he right about that?
  18. I think people are uneasy given the fee. He's not been playing first team football that long and a side in our league have been comfortable enough to let him go. There is a huge question mark over this one, many supporters have never seen him play or know anything about him. Obviously we won't find out until he's playing regularly for us but I can't help but think Armstrong could end up being better value. Just feel it brings a weight of expectation on both the manager and the player too... Hope it pays off.
  19. Forest fans don't seem happy about the way he's left the club. Thanked his agency but not the club who took a chance on him.
  20. Still can't help but feel uneasy about this one. It's a big fee (for us) and feels a sort of eggs in on basket type situation. I hope TM gets this one right.
  21. Chapman only getting a few crappy minutes in a league cup game is hardly going to encourage him to sign a new contract. He'll be off down here first chance he gets. If he joins as well, this window will have been unreal.
  22. Nervy about this one... Really hope he hits the ground running. Last thing we need is him going a long time without a goal.
  23. If Sam Gallagher could've been bought for similar money then I'd be surprised if we haven't made an offer. One would have presumed that given the fact he's been here before and scored goals that he'd have been a lower risk signing. I'm looking forward to bringing Brereton in but it's a transfer heavily weighted on potential and not proven quality. Considering our wage to income balance sheet, spending this amount of money on this lad is a massive gamble. It will also no doubt bring some unwanted expectation on both TM as a manager to get a return from him and the player himself to perform given the transfer fee. If we're comparing to the business we've already done, I have to say Armstrong looks far better value for money, considering he already knows his surroundings and has scored goals here. Its obvious the lad is a good player, he seems to have everything you need from a modern attacking player but for this to be a success he's going to need goals, I just hope he manages to get himself on the score sheet soon to ease the nerves around this one. Overall I think I preferred us signing players for good value and going under the radar but if v****s are putting their hand in their pocket for once I don't blame TM taking full advantage of that whilst he can. Being positive for a moment, this should be a great environment for a player like Brereton to come in and express himself. There are plenty of leaders and experienced players for him to learn from and a lot of good young talent for him to mix with. Hopefully it will bring the best out of him.
  24. Fits the model this one, can play a variety of positions, including cover for Nyambe, has played at England youth level. I think there will have been some sort of discussion about the possibility to buy him come the end of the season. Lad is 23 and hasn't nailed down a place for Southampton so I can see them doing business. Strange how Norwich haven't gone back in there considering their fans seem to rate him.
  25. On official twitter and website. I think Brereton is more likely to be announced tomorrow if its going to get done.
