He knew that he could buy his way out league one, not so easy in championship and he doubt himself. Believe me he has taken flak from venkys for Ben. Once bitten....

Always believed that mowbray is reluctant to spend as it’s a ready made excuse for his sacking. He can down play expectations with leaving money in the budget to venkys and prolong his own career. He is all for the slow build. Expect 12th next season

Looked at, money to spend if mowbray insists. Getting late in the day for anybody to replace a sale to us. Quite possibly it when city lad comes in. Honestly if fans knew how many were looked at, close, but no cigar, they would be shocked

I’m absolutely not taking anything as gospel from within the club now, was told that a couple of deals would be concluded today and nothing. Even those within the club don’t know why things are taking so long. Sharpe has said the same. As far as I know the city lad is concluded- why the hold up, who knows. And nuttall to accy is done or soon to be.

Nope, both loans

Lol, you haven’t been on a mowbray train of thought recently have you? This means nothing. What mowbray says and what mowbray does are two completely different things

One in, one out today I believe

Haha who knows! I’d imagine a winger

Yes, loads have came and gone , one of the few that came to light. Scott Sinclair, fraser foster, Martin skrtel are the others I know were looked at. Wages being the biggest hurdle not surprisingly , all dead I believe

Michael hector for me. Jedinak would also do for a year. Or maybe he wants another rodwell experiment, Micah Richards?

Martínez from arsenal

Or start the games we have to keep it tight at the start, which mowbray loves

I’d argue If mowbray didn’t see him as an option for that position wouldn’t we be after a left back , leaves bell and at a push Williams, both of who struggles at times last season. Hart will go out on loan again I presume. Seen as an experienced head to coach the youngsters through late collapses as seen last season with bell and Armstrong not strong enough to stop crosses coming in late in games. I think if ur expecting him to link up with dack etc your going to be disappointed but hey it’s Blackburn and mowbray so you never know

Not saying he is a cast iron left back, could even be the case that bell is behind him but def signed for his experience of seeing games out and defensive minded. I don’t believe he will have a big assist or goal Talley come the end of his rovers career

Think his debut told everything you needed to know. Not saying he couldn’t play further forward but he was def signed due to experience of holding onto leads and shoring up that dodgy left side late in games

It’s from folk I speak to in and outwith the club, as I said I thought it was pretty common knowledge. Hence we are still looking at wingers

Came to shore up the left hand side from collapses late in games. Def a defensive signing more than an attacking , which is what he has been for a few seasons. People were asking why he didn’t have an assists or goals last term well it’s because that isn’t his game these days

By legs I mean an injection of pace not that he isn’t fit

I thought it was kind of common knowledge downing was signed for the wing back role, similar to bell - who he is to coach. Look at his last few seasons with boro and that’s the role he has been playing. Was also this role at rangers. He doesn’t have the legs anymore to be an out and out beat your man winger. Left wing back for his know how and experience , more defensive than attacking

Sorry to tell you that downing was signed to compete with bell for the left back position. Leaving chapman as the only out and out winger. I don’t want the striker or mids converted nonsense so I believe another proper winger is needed. Why we haven’t signed a fullback as there is downing/bell one side and Bennett/ nyambe the other. Tony doesn’t want any others

Still think there is a winger to come. I wanted Jamal Lowe or Maddison but I’d settle for Alan judge. All likelihood it’s another prem lg youngster on loan, which aren’t my favourite. I’d rather have our own players to flourish

I’m not mowbrays biggest fan and believe he has made a bit of a hash of the summer window- still time. But if he believes in the youngsters and gets a tune out of them then I will happily hold my hands up that I was wrong. I will leave it 10 games before I got my mowbray out pitchfork out

Making a huge leap but I see millwall have bid on a defender from Wycombe, possibly because cooper is joining us and they need a replacement ? clutching

Haven’t heard that one, credible source? Can’t see what he would get leaving Cardiff to come to us

Because they are still the money and need to approve it, mowbray doesn’t have free reign to sign players whoever and whenever he likes, everything goes through the boss first
