Much rather we signed a striker than taking once in a blue moon brereton back

Has max cornet been linked here?

With Sunderland doing ambitious things in the midfield , I would have thought an enquiry for Alan Browne might have been a bit more useful than Forshaw btw

Probably Harvey Elliot’s window and before that my biggest surprise was spending that much on Brereton although even that was have we or haven’t we

He has always been a tidy player , but yes it doesn’t initially smack of ambition unless he is the starter for the main course to come , all I can cling to

Toni kroos? It really depends on the player and how well they have looked after themselves I think mate

Don’t think your judgement should be clouded by Murphy tbh, he had down tooled by the time he got to us in my opinion. He was never blessed with pace to begin with. Plenty of old heads have flourished in the championship. Danny Graham is a recent example for us

Nah game hasn’t changed that much that experienced heads can’t play a pivotal part in a team, look how Danny batth is doing for us

But then mark hughes was brilliant for us

With our player sales the last few years , eustace should have a 20 mill war chest to burn, but we won’t reinvest half of what we make on sales on the playing squad which should be the case

I did say the Morton rumour I heard was completely unfounded as in a very very weak basis , simply shared what I had heard. I don’t believe there is any substance to it

If mcfadzean moves it’s surely to start his after playing career. I’d give him a coaching spot here, seems to be a good influence. is gilsenen far off a return? Sure he could provide some minutes, he wasn’t far off when he got injured. But he’s we need bodies in as a matter of urgency

Shudder, just heard completely unconfirmed and unfounded rumour that we are asking about Tyler Morton again….

If we finish 7th again we would be the new derby minus the season of actually being properly funded and making a go of it

Baker a lot more physical than Buckley, we will be overrun in the midfield unless we get a physical dm in is my feelings

Kieran dowell might be a steady enough replacement for baker

Exactly my point, why are we waiting for the window to open before we get budgets approved and players availability/price, yes players can’t move until windows but that doesn’t mean we sit and do nothing in between windows. Any decent business will have forward plans in place, for personnel. I would think there should be a different list depending where we are in the league come January, perhaps different budget also, the keep us in the league budget, the playoff push budget, the auto budget, and the worst being the middling mid table nothing budget . If some of you believe we are that good at being stealth and it’s not any error with our recruitment team then can I remind you of our last few January windows, mad rushes to get players needed in and then errors with minutes to spare. It doesn’t suit the narrative then we are well organised and ahead of the game

So we have really not being doing any leg work between windows by the looks of it, standard

Worried about links we have had so far, none appear to be young, hungry and have pace. Which is what we need, think we have the experience professionals maxed out. And I have always , always disliked Hanley, so clumsy and just never showed anything other than wanting to smash players. Red card/ pen waiting to happen. He got away with it a bit when he had legs, he won’t have at 33. noticed at against Burnley they had big strong looking lads that could run all day, we had ones that looked lost or burst , we need some legs and strength badly

Definite argument for brittain and beck as the best two backs in the league. It’s further up the field we fall massively short

Yea cantwell is getting a tough time on here probably for the first time but we so needed a performance from him today and I guess he was still ill but he wasn’t great, lot of stuff broke down from him. Quite simply he needs to show more in the second half of the season, lad had the world at his feet at Norwich but has been regression at an alarming rate for years, this is his last chance if he is ever going to get anywhere. I get that he needs a bit more quality to work with but even still, more interested in petty personal battles today and should probably have been booked along with Cullen in the 1st half

Batth is booked too

Never saving it

Not been good enough

Lucky there
