I'll take any of the 3 mentioned. It's clear we need another striker in the ilk of Graham. I'll be vastly disappointed if we end up with no-one. That's my only concern with this window. We have previous.

He reminds me a lot of when we had Josh King. Frightens people when running at them, but invariably missed big chunks of the season through injury.

Great challenge I thought. Thankfully backup.

I'd be more worried about the fact it would only take our management team 4 months to come to that opinion after purchasing him for 7m (our almost recording signing). That would surely mean this scouting system we have is tripe.

Wouldn't be totally surprised if we got another striker on a 6/12 month loan. We were looking at Brereton before Samuel got injured, depending on how serious it is, TM may think we need another to cover that injury.

Probably because you responded with "who? Who? Who?" To the original post.

I see your point, but he also played in the Dutch league and tried to transition the Premier League, 53 games in the league we're in is probably a different story.

It's a lot of money for potential, but (From Wikipedia): Brereton was subsequently called up to represent England at the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[14] In the group stage, he scored the winner against the Netherlands[15] and twice against Germany.[16] Brereton was a second-half substitute during the victory against Portugal in the final.[17] His total of three goals meant Brereton was joint top goalscorer at the tournament.[18] Brereton also played at the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, scoring his only goal of the tournament in the opening group stage match against Turkey.[19] You can't really argue that he hasn't delivered at the levels he's played at.

Last post I can see is from Yoda's brother who said SSN reported Villa. Maybe crossed wires somewhere.

Sorry J*B, not sure if that's a statement or a question. Have I missed something? Is Samba back training with us, or would you want that to be Mowbrays first decision?

He wouldn't have been my first choice. Although if I'm honest, of the realistic targets, I didn't really have a first choice - says it all. Of the lot he's probably a half decent option. You're always going to struggle to find a manager who's not got a tainted record at some point with the probable candidates at our disposal. As an ex-defender, he should be able to set us up to stop shipping as many goals as we currently do. He's going to need all the luck in the world to get us out of this predicament. Considering the views aired by a number of WBA, Coventry and Boro fans, he's well liked and did ok with what he had. Good luck Tony.

The best thing that can be said to this lad today is "go out and enjoy it." I hope Kean has the sense to say that to him.

I thought the Coen Brothers pulled off a great remake in True Grit. Jeff Bridges does a grand job as Rooster Cogburn.

Don't think i'd be able to re-create her whiney little voice.

That's one, been posted on this MB before somewhere.

1864 - Personally I don't think Lucas Neill deserved that MOTM award. He was caught wandering on a number of occasions and he doesn't fill me with confidence. Plus I never hear him speaking to his backline. Emerton deserved it the most in my opinion. 2nd half was a very good performance and we came out the blocks with real fighting spirit. Jeffers looks very good I have been impressed with him since he came really but on a couple of occasions he has tried to score whereas he would be better pulling it back to better positioned players. He's clearly desperate to get a goal for confidence. Roberts looks rusty and his one on one with Kirkland showed that, he also looks a yard or two short. Bentley looked good once again and another alright performance from Pedersen. Big mention to Jason Brown who was brilliant with the spot kick and reacted quickly to the follow up and his save 5 minutes later off that Wigan bloke (don't know who it was.)
