They are in the qualifying rounds though, so it's not that much of a stretch. Some random clubs qualify for the Europa league, far more obscure than Utrecht!

Very strange, but that's where the club is at. I would hope that it's a long-term thing one way or another. Can only be a good thing to have more options.

Where did you watch him out of interest?

Would have been a cracking signing. I think he said European football was the reason he joined Utrecht. Pity

Mowbray has always unequivocally said that it will take time to get the European scouting working properly.

Great stuff. Can this Tweet be pinned to the top of the page ?

Ya, for the under 23s. Sounds like we want to senior keepers. Great stuff.

Hart is a player who a couple of posters wrote off with little to back it up and then this was continued by others who also hadn't seen him play. Reports from the clubs where he was on loan were good. Williams isn't a good left back at this level. I agree having another option there would be great.

I am very confused.... Did we play twice at the weekend?

He royally screwed Wednesday. I think this reflects pretty poorly on Bruce, especially considering Wednesday gave him extra time off before taking the role

So 4-4 was fake news? You need to watch out for that on here big time... Hart eh.... and Brereton 2?? Good stuff

Dreadful? Bit harsh. He played under 4 different managers that season- Harry Redknapp, Lee Carsley, Steve Cotterill and Garry Monk and ended up their top scorer in the league.

Apart from the fact we conceded 4 goals against a team of trialists....

Must have been behind closed doors was it?

How do you work that out? Absolutely no chance

Even if we got £500,000 and his wages off the book, it would free up a nice bit to finance a good loan from the Premier league or even a player from League 1. I don't think we would miss Evans to be honest.

4-4? Wasn't Burys entire squad made up of trialists?

So one game? mmm. Preferably I would like us to sign an experienced player as well, but I believe in watching players a few times before writing them off.

He is a tricky one to put a price one I feel. We know what he is worth, but he is an international with a lot of Championship starts to his name, so I don't think we would let him go for as little as £500,000

Just because our under 23s bet theirs, doesn't mean our centre halves are automatically better than theirs though. Have you seen the lad play?

I wouldn't call him a Blackburn midfielder though, he is an ex-one. Agree it would probably be a good move for Rodwell if it was him Rangers must have a few bob to be able to pay wages for the likes of Defoe. How much would we be looking at for Evans anyway? £1.5 million?

Has to be Evans

If he is good enough, is that not all that should matter?

I agree with that. Its just Downign and Johnson were good last season, now all of a sudden when we sign them some fans are making out they are fit for the nursing home!

Ya, blind and blinkered optimism to the point of not seeing the issues is also annoying, I agree with you there.
