How big do you want him exactly?

Ya, I totally agree. The jersey should be out to capatalise on the positivity of last season. If other clubs have theirs out, why can't we? Even a date when it will be out would be a start

Huddersfield and Wolves in for Traore at Boro for around 20 million. I wonder would that impact on us signing Chapman?

He did go to Hull on loan a couple of years back, but I think they were in the Premiership then. I thought he looked like a very good player at times for Liverpool. Realistically ,I doubt we could sign him, would be a massive coup.

From one mod and a couple of moaners. Reflect? nah, I'm good.

Great news. 4 years too. Great summer so far.

Why do some people pick up on the comments but others don't? If someone made a sweeping statement calling posters moaners, it wouldn't bother me, I wouldn't even acknowledge it. It is the same culprits time and time again, every single player we sign is wrong for one reason or another. I did quote them directly yesterday. It is indeed life , but as far as i can tell it's ok to call moaners out. Unless the mods are going changing that policy?

How do you make out we are well stocked in the centre of midfield? I would have doubts about Evans playing there next season, so who is next in line then? Whittingham? Travis and Tomlinson are completely unproven. Going off what City and Burton fans say, this guy sounds like a great signing.

A left footer too. That free kick was sweet. Sounds like a shrewd bit of business

Ya, I would agree on Tomlinson. He looks like a good footballer, but I can't see him making it in the championship or Premier league. The game is gone too athletic and he has always looked slightly pudgy to me. He wouldn't be the biggest or fastest lad either. Would those who have seen more of him than I for the under 23s disagree with that?

Stop moaning I take issue with people criticizing players without having seen them actually play. Always have and always will. Nothing sensitive about me. Well able for a robust conversation withoit crying off or throwing toys out of the pram. Are you saying some of the stuff on here can't be classed as moaning? I think you have a touch of Stockholm syndrome if so. Some of the stuff written when word broke we signed Davenport was embarrassing. Empty vessels really do make the most noise though.

Show me where I was nasty? Don't be sore because you're silliness was called out and you can't defend it.

I said I havent seen him, hence why I will reserve judgement until I watch him in a few games. As opposed to basing my opinion on a stats website. Everything I have read about him has been positive though. Apart from some on here who have never seen him play. Strange that.

Yes, I have doubts about him after watching him play. You have doubts about Davenport having never seen him play, but because someone put a screenshot up from some stats website. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Great stuff. We have serious competition for places in the middle now.

I have seen him play. Unlike you basing your opinion on a screenshot from a random website. Silly.

You say it probably does, but you have no idea really. Just because Harper and Byrne didn't work out doesn't mean we have to be suspicious of every player we loan from the premiership. It's silly. I didn't define reasonable criticism as moaning, I defined moaning as moaning. Show me the reasonable criticism? I saw posters running a young lad into the ground having never seen him play, based on a screenshot of some stats website.

I think Travis wil be in the squad next season, but is Tomlinson actually good enough for the championship? He looks good on the ball, but athletically I would have my doubts.

The more competition the better. Why does it bother you how many good players we have competing for positions? Running a young lad into the ground without seeing him play is hardly valid, but it seems its the go too reaction for a few on here. You say why sign a 20 year old with a dozen games under his belt? Well maybe becuase he is a good player. Have you seen him play?

I would like to see some actual real life footage of him before forming an opinion, as opposed to basing my opinion on 1 page from a statistics website I know nothing about.

Based on what? A screenshot someone just took from football manager? Do we not even watch players before running them into the ground now?

I think the moaners on here would complain if we signed Ronaldo. He's too old...

According to, what is that, football manager?

And Reece Jones. 2 very good signings for League 1 Rich Sharpe we weren't interested in McGeouch
