Are you? Do you know what Hyperbole means? if so expand on the exact points you believe are Hyperbole...

It's about balance, you cant expect this squad to run the league. 6 months ago they were playing in League 1 some players had never played in the Championship but you want them strutting the division like Man City do the Prem. We are in with a shout of the top 6 as it stands, if you had been offered that 18 months ago you would have snapped it up. That is progress by definition.

Sorry but I said Club not Team, Hughes and Souness had a good structure at boardroom level allowing them to focus on the team. Mowbray has had nothing like that and had to do it all himself at points, something that nobody else has managed to do. I have huge respect for what Hughes & Souness achieved with our squad but what Mowbray has had to deal with is above and beyond in my opinion.

We are improving as evidenced by our position in the table, are you claiming we are not? ? The ambition is to be a Championship team who can be in with a shout against anybody in this division and improve year on year... So far so good. We are a work in progress and sorry but progress is what we are making, it might not be fast enough for some but then you cant please all of the people all of the time. Mowbray has done more for our Club than anyone since Uncle Jack, not just the team. He has had to deal with a Club in turmoil from root to tip. Is he perfect? no, Has he made mistakes in my opinion? Yes, Travis not being involved more since last season being one, but you know what? he is doing a fine job. i'd rather the progress be organic and natural than forced and rushed for it to all crumble down.

Nuttall has been a regular fixture in the U23's getting regular starts that Ben hasn't had. He is fitter and sharper as a result. Put Joe on our bench for 5 months with a handful of cameos and see how much influence he has.

If the players were of greater quality than what was at his disposal and was available for a good price and the player was set on the club of course they would sign any player in those circumstances, but like he states, it's unlikley. But pushing through a transfer when those elements are not met then why rush it? The weather is not a single thing like you try to paint it, but a combination of all the things involved in making a move abroad seem bigger than they are thus causing an issue far sooner than if 1 or more could be avoided as soon as they arrive. As for Brereton, he has hardly been given a chance to show what he is capable of and Graham has not exactly deserved dropping to give him a chance. Heaven forbid a player that has started less than a handful of games weeks apart is not firing on all cylinders. He is a teenager and to write him off at this stage is unbelievably naive

Indeed, but managers look to minimise risks as much as they can. Players in the UK know the weather so that's a potential risk minimised, Family are a car journey away so again minimised. Managers don't take risks unless they need to, Mowbray at this point doesn't need to. Sorry but you start this post with an oxymoron as you are complaining about ifs but are complaining about if we sign a player this month or not. Nobody is arguing against signings just that some are more content to let Mowbray do it the way he seemingly wants, after all he has not given us any reason to worry so far. The team is progressing, which is more than it has done in the previous 6 years. Be happy relax and enjoy it.

Sometimes the mix of British winter weather, family not coming over straight away, not playing (or worse playing poorly) mixed with all the other issues of a new country can turn a player homesick very quickly. No manager wants to be dealing with that when he is pushing for a positive end of the season. Add that to the fact January signings are inflated in fees no matter what country they are from unless the selling club wants/needs to get rid, its no wonder British managers are reluctant to enter the Foreign market in January unless an unbelievable opportunity becomes available.

Yes but the business end of the season is January onward so any signing now needs to be ready to hit the ground running, especially if he is bought in to be a "better than we have" replacement. How many Foreign players new to the English leagues signed in January have pushed a team from mid table to Play-Offs/Europe?

That's not what he said though. He has ruled out and January Foreign signings without prior experience of the English leagues as they take time to settle. He would rather have them in the summer to have time in pre-season to adjust on and off the pitch which is fair enough if you ask me.
