Bennett and Travis can both play there as well Right back is not a priority

Some on here writing players off without seeing them play, as usual. Did they not learn their lesson after Downing and others?

Good turn around by Milwall

Blinding business or are Norwich going in blind Time will tell.

Oh right. I read 3 million fee and didn't realise it covered wages too. I see they signed Marshall too. How much did he cost them?

Just read that Norwich paid 3 million to get Rhodes on loan for the season. What crazy times. Would they not have been better off signing their own players? I don't know if they have to pay wages on top of the 3 million fee, I would assume that they do

That would be a good move for him at this point

Oh come on now Rich Sharpe and Bowyer have both said we are interested in Bauer. It isn't uncommon for managers to make claims, no, but it would be uncommon for them to specifically name a club if there is no truth in it. In fact usually they wouldn't name the club anyway, so bad form from Bowyer. “That is out of my hands, out of my control. “It is very difficult for Pat, because they (Rovers) came in and put an offer on the table for him. “He wants to play at a higher level, I get it. “I said to Pat: ‘I understand, but if the offer is not good enough then the offer is not good enough. If they want you, they should come and offer what you’re worth’. “He understands – £300k, I can’t replace him for that. The owner is like ‘why would I sell you for that? I think you’re worth a lot more. It’s not going to happen. Unless they come in with any more Pat then you’re going to be here’. “I’ve told him: ‘You need to get your head right and get your fitness right, in case you’re still here’.”

As competition. Great to see

We will be closer to 6th than 24th. A lot predicting play-offs.... Surprising. Now if we sign Baeur, Armstrong, Chapman and Maddison....

He is ,but he is all we've got to go off at this point unfortunatley He also says we are in for someone who hasn't been mentioned. I wonder he doesn't just mention them as that is meant to be his job. If we sign Armstrong he will be played on the wing/as an inside forward like last season

He has become a caricature of himself. I think he puts the grumpiness on for the media, although I may be wrong on that. Ya, imagine he was Indian and someone did an impression. It's funny how we perceive things sometimes.

Armstrong and Harrison?

The game was there for the taking if you kept the heads and continued attacking. I think ye bet yerselves more than Croatia bet ye. They scored with 10 min left, but had been on top for around 60 min at that stage. Ya, it was hillarious. 2 kids bickering in the playground. Wright copying Keanes accent topped it off, imagine if Keane was from somewhere else though and Wright did that, there would be uproar. Ian wright always looks to me like he is about to cry. Gary Neville sniggering away beside Keane then. Pretty much decided it is easier to side with the bully than go against him.

The top clubs are pretty much non geographical entities already. They don't care about the English national team, for someone like Mourinho it just an annoyance. If some English coaches were at the top clubs, things might be different ,but as it stands your players are stagnating at top clubs or even your regular Premier league clubs. It appears you have a great crop of youngsters coming through, it will be interesting to see where they get 1st team game time

Ya true, Lingard or Ali could have been the ones taken off. If ye attacked last night , you could have undoubtedly finished the game off by the 60th min. Not sure if a formation or a mind change was needed, but Croatia looked to be on the ropes big time.

Very true. The Croatians play all over Europe, I think that stands to teams. The big English clubs are frankly ruining good English players. Look at Rashford as 1 example. It cannot be said that he has/is in the best place for his development. The reality is though and this is the same with Irish players, you get more money in the reserves of a Premiership team or starting in the Championship than you would in any other league in Europe. If you are Croatian playing for Hadjuk Split you will eventually have to leave the nest, in most cases sooner rather than later.

Professional players who have all played 4-4-2 before, they should be able to adapt. It would have helped ye last night. Get Henderson and Delph in the middle to combat the Croatian control. Croatia were misplacing passes all over the place at times, they looked a busted flush. I just wonder about the fitness. Croatia looked the fresher in extra time. The English guys looked completely wrecked, same as the Colombia game. After playing less than the Croatians in the previous games. I thought that's where England would eventually win the game

Oh ya, if ye scored a 2nd it was over barring a complete retreat to your box, which may have happened. The thing that bet you last night was the teams own psychology, that may have happened at 2-0 up either. It was a spirited effort overall at the tournament, but I thinking hindsight you will look back at it as one that got away. Southgate didn't react well or quick enough when needed. He was the right man up until about 50 min into last nights game, a more experienced manager may have seen things out better. Henderson was isolated on his own on the middle, he did great work, but needed support. He should have brought Delph on to help him out in place of Lingard , who was a non-entity. A fit Jamie Vardy would have made a difference too, he def looked about 60%, was there no other option? Rashford wasn't great either. It was Kanes worst game of the tournament, he was dropping too deep and was a bit indulgent with the chance in the first half where he should have squared it, but thats easy for me to say sitting at home, the man is going to be the top scorer at a world cup. Fair play though, it must be some buzz getting to the semi final of a world cup.

I'd say Sunday will be a formality for the French. Can see 2 or 3 nil. I hope I'm wrong and Croatia can raise it one final time.

Huge capitulation by England last night. That game was there for the taking big time. You should have had it wrapped up by half time, Croatia were out on their feet and looked drained of energy and confidence. A great achievement to get to the semis though regardless of opposition. You have to beat what's in front of you. A bit more calmness last night and you could have strolled to a final. It was very naive by Southgate to stick with 3 at the back. Still, a very likeable team and manager. The first time I ever remember people in Ireland liking an English international side. Hopefully the rovers have a few more players in the team next time the world cup comes around. Or even just players at the world cup in general

Any if you see the new Wigan home kit? Ugly. Can't link a pic as on my phone, but it is bad.

Linked on Twitter. If we didn't go off what we have got to go off, there would be no discussion You seem to want to just throw a million at Bauer to get the move done quickly. In reality we need to be patient and try to get the best deal. That's football and that's business. Not like football manager unfortunately.

I haven't seen much of him since he left. Where have you seen him play?
