If mowbray really needs a no nonsense centre half in, Steven caulker is impressing at Dundee, 26 and looks to have the head screwed on now. Available for 1,5

We aren't signing a third left back to supplant an ever-present from last season and a guy we spent half a million on to compete with him 8 months ago. You might as well not think about that, it absolutely won't happen whether you think it should or not.

Not if Williams is converted into centre half cover instead of lb starter. He ain’t too good at lb and bell hasn’t been digging up trees. Would mean we don’t need to track Bauer which we probably won’t be getting 

I’d be happy with deadline day deals for McGinn, Oviedo and pitman 

we could then play

            Raya

nyambe. Mulgrew  lenihan. Oviedo

                Davenport

bennet.                         Mcginn

               Dack

              Graham  Armstrong 

Strong team there

Striker options for me should be Gary hooper, pitman or Conor Washington 

Firstly I’d have taken a point before the game and iv not seen the highlights yet but what I’m gathering is the same issues not addressed

full backs- not good enough particularly Williams. He is a liability particularly at this level. Nyambe should be sub with an experienced pro in there.

evans/ Smallwood - not good enough, Smallwood doesn’t have enough to his game and his gasket is blown after a half. Evans doesn’t impose himself/ control the game anything like he should and his shooting is terrible, how many does he sky over the bar or kick into the ground. Neither should be starters

Samuel/nuttall - 

not good enough, crying out for a more accomplished striker to ease the burden on graham. Neither of these two are the answer.

raya- still makes too many basic errors for me. Does win points but throws away a lot too.

mowbray- has never mastered the final 10 minutes. How often do we concede late goals and how few times do we net late winners. Difference between average managers and good ones. Hurst seems to be great at getting late goals.

Overall- yes it’s great to get promotion and you feel like you should be loyal to your team but I’m afraid a few of them should have been left in lg 1, as that’s their standard. A thank you for getting us up but we have now outgrown you sorry, would suffice. It’s the nature of football. Never rest on your laurels, tough decisions must be made. Feel like Tony is trying too hard to be mr nice guy il give you a chance to some of them.

squad needs a good few transfers this coming week.

take the point and move on. I’d say hopefully lessons learned but they never seem to be 

Nobody has confirmed that this is a perm deal

Preston seem to think they are getting Armstrong on loan just to pour some doubt into the equation 

Glasgow based rover here and yes paddy Roberts ain’t that good, struggles for game time and when he does play he can be largely anonymous. Would still take him here but he isn’t that much of an improvement on Payne 

You open this forum up after a couple of hours and see there is 100 odd messages, it gets your hopes up that it’s a signing, only to read pages and pages of nonsense and dick measuring. Can we please keep it relevant to transfers

I’d take all 3 of those Cardiff boys to be honest 

Newcastle away to Portugal and have left Armstrong at home, looks like he is moving, hopefully to us. Rafa also wanting to move Aaron’s on, would be a great double swoop

This is the most boring football chat in the world at the moment, like a bank spreadsheet

Hes no better than Nuttal and Samuel... relax we need someone better!

He is far better than those two, nuttall wasn’t wanted at Aberdeen. Says enough for me. Samuel has potential perhaps but needs to use his power and pace. Morris is a beast, think he will be a prem striker one day. Also don’t tell me to relax it’s condescending and we are getting hella close to season starting. Sick of refreshing thinking a link or signing will come and nothing

I like Carlton Morris as mentioned a few pages ago, people say his goal scoring isn’t great but young players tend to start slow before getting consistent goalscoring seasons. He reminds me of Troy deeney  who had a similar record early in his career . He would be a good option with pace and power 

Great about dack but we are all craving new signings here, new contracts aren’t cutting it 

In my humble opinion to get this squad up to level I reckon we need to spend 7-10 million. Anything less and it’s lower to relegation. Time for venkys to show a bit of ambition and roll the dice without putting future in jeapordy. 3 mill Armstrong, 1 mill Bauer, 1 mill chapman is a good start

Simple statement to venkys, no marquee signings, no fans attending games. I certainly won’t be splurging money to watch our enivitable relegation with current squad

Btw Tyler Boyd is an American football player for the Cincinnati bengals 

I see Leeds have bid for jozefzoon, would suggest they aren’t in for Maddison. Think there is a very good chance that it’s us trying to do a deal in my opinion 

Think Carlton Morris would be a good backup striker

second favourites to reading

Sorry guys, our exclusive today is Ryan Kent on loan. Bit underwhelming 

Don’t think we can tarnish all older players with the same brush, look at the performances Tugay, Hughes, Salgado, Dunn gave us. I understand Johnson had an injury record hence why I said pay as you play, if he doesn’t get fit he doesn’t get paid. I still have a lot of question marks over nyambe and with the club seemingly unwilling to part with transfer fees I’d rather get the better freebies in. I feel our squad is well behind where it should be currently. A few rabbits will need to be pulled from the hat in next few weeks to change that opinion. Our best defender is 32, Johnson ain’t finished at 33 in my opinion and always likes his tackling and forward drive.

Exactly the type of player we need to avoid.

A former 18 million international defender with lots of prem experience to develop our younger players, yea totally man ? exactly what we need I reckon, few players with higher level experience. He is only 33 need I point out another 33 year old Just went for 88 million. Life in him yet 

Glen Johnson currently without a club, pay as you play deal wouldn’t be bad idea, pass on knowledge of position to nyambe
