Not really surprising though ,is it? Wanted him when Kean left and he's still delivering now. He will probably get them to the play offs this year or automatic next year

What are you about? We were talking about physicality for big men, it literally said physicality in the post you quoted. Never said he was shit, although the jury is back out on that one to be fair. As things stand ,over the season so far, his goals and assists stats are pretty poor. I would certainly expect out most expensive player to contribute more. If you ask fans here to name Breretons strengths,I'm not sure many would say holding the ball up would be one. Do you remember Danny Graham? Now, he could hold the ball up. Glad you get amused by people saying Brereton is shit by the way. You must be a very happy person.

True, Brereton is so pathetic I actually forgot about him when it comes to physicality

Mowbray badly out smarted by Neil last night. To the point where Mowbray should be embarrassed, the payers too, as they were out fought from the first minute. We could have easily lost that 4-0. Got a very soft penalty and their lad was too honest not going down to give them one. We are all over the place. Looking like a manager at the end for the last few weeks, but yet, somehow, he is up for last month's manager of the month. The interview after the game, how many times will he stand there and say we have been dreadful on sky? Like what does he say to then before the game? Can he not tell they are nervous or whatever. More confused actually. Worst I have ever seen Dack play, he misses Graham very badly. As for Rothwell, god he really disappointed me. To be quite honest, I could take or leave him being in the squad. When he's not scoring Messi like goals one in 6-7 games, I just don't know what he does. Now would be an ideal time for a change. Too much of a gap to the play offs now. Give a new manager time.

For their set piece goal, Gallagher has to be stronger there, Branthwaite too. Gallagher is the softest "big man" I have ever seen and it's typical we of all teams end up with him

I thought Douglas was ok. He has a football brain, which is severely lacking for some. For some reason Rothwell disappointed me the most yesterday.

He did, but we will be a long time waiting for our full backs to score a goal like that

£17 million?

Lenihan and Branthwaite would not fill you wil confidence, I think Kaminski is better with the ball at his feet

Which particular one?

Is or was Rothwell playing? I've had a few beers and I honestly don't know the answer. I think this was his worst performance ever

Ya, he does. Absolute quality to score that

Armstrong has balls like watermelons for converting that. All signs from that first half collapse pointed towards him missing that, but he slotted it. Pathetic really, out fought and out thought.

What a strike. Pathetic performance so far anyway

Must be the Irish connection rubbing off 😉 I still want them to lose though, obviously

Very hard to call. Come on Rovers

Hopefully Dack drops a little bit deep from the 9 and let's Armstrong and Gallagher take up the central positions. He's going to be playing there. With the 3 of Armstrong ,Gallagher and Dack though, what else can you do? Dack on the wing? This has the potential to work if done properly...

It will come down to team selection. So much scope for Mowbray to mess it up by doing something stupid. Hopefully it's a logical selection, with people in their best positions.

I understand how a release clause works. Armstrong doesnt have one. If someone bids more than 25 million I believe that would be as good as having one, because we wouldn't turn that down. Get it?

I just mean that if a club bids enough, that's the release clause. Some of them in Spain are just crazy and they rarely leave for the amounts.

That's not people knowing though ,is it? It's people guessing based off Waggots quotes. Which I knew of. My point remains. Guess work. Keep up. You will be saying it's 50% as fact next. That's what you do. Just nipping that in the bud.

So, as I said, guess work.

Every player has a release clause I suppose. I would say 25 million plus and we would be considering it

Didn't it rise to just over 3 million with add ons? I believe there is one , hopefully it's not 40%. That's as high as you would hear. I would be hoping more 25% max

Depends on what he defines big as
