Is that 'IMO' Stuart?

Don't forget, GB had to carry Rhodes in his 11.. Quite a hinderence he never wanted..

Norwich finding out about that right now..

Was that the season he scored  27 goals in 43 games. Rhodes was never carried. I don't know where this argument has come from but apart from his last season he was brilliant.

Every day where Brereton doesn't sign is making me more paranoid there is a giant conspiracy and he isn't signing. When he finally gets signed I will be greatly relieved. 

Trying to mark Dack , Armstrong , Palmer and Brereton will be near impossible for most Championship teams. We will be a dangerous team.

The hype is already building. When Harrison Reed was announced the top tweets were all wanting Brereton , hopefully he is given the chance to develop without too much pressure.

Facebook has suddenly gone nuts with people saying Brereton is in whalley with Armstrong. Armstrong lives there so would make sense.

Yes this makes sense. My parents saw Armstrong in Benedicts restaurant in Whalley the weekend just gone. Given that they might know each other from the England youth set up and Brereton was at Brockhall today for a medical it all ties together.

Next summer we'll have 13 people who are out of contract or end of loan. These are:

Paul Caddis, Sam Hart, Paul Downing, Charlie Mulgrew, Corry Evans, Craig Conway, Peter Whittingham, Danny Graham, Ben Gladwin, Kasey Palmer, Jack Rodwell, Joe Nuttall and Harrison Reed. 

Caddis, Hart , Downing , Conway , Whittingham , Gladwin, Nutall  can go to clear up some wage bill. Most will be happy to see all these leave the club.

Graham will need to be replaced but if legs keep going another year perhaps?

Palmer and Reed can be replaced by other loanees. 

The only contracts I would be concerned for and would to wrap up quickly out of that list is Evans and Mulgrew.

So Leicester linked to Bradley Dack in a January swoop, I think he will be 20mil+ to replace in todays market anything less wouldnt be beneficial to the team for rebuilding.

I agree he should be worth something around 20 million if he keeps playing well till January. Although he is fantastic he is not irreplaceable and if Tony was given the majority of that money to reinvest I would be happy. However, if that money isnt seen again it would leave us a lot weaker for the second half on the season. 

I thought Corry Evans wasn't good enough for League 1 and now he is currently one of our best performers.

If we get Harrison Reed on a loan  and Brereton on a loan with a view to a perm you couldn't have asked for a better window.

Marry me Evans.

Was he good?

3 points are huge no matter the point in the season. Keep our momentum going

So to all those who have a dig at those saying we dont have any money and its all smoke screens, there you go, we DID NOT make a bid, we may have interest, but HAVE NOT made a bid. It's all nonsense.

It is all smoke screens and misdirection. Surprised some people are still under the belief we were ever willing to spend more than 4/5 on a player.

Meh

Lad starts with a clean slate in blue and white. Hope he does well.

Does have the feeling of a Wes Brown type signing to it.

Ok if we still bring in 4 more.

The thing with Wes Brown was that his legs had gone. Even if he was mentally there he could never have contributed. Rodwell has the fitness but does he have the mental aspects and attitude required???

5 minute warning

Rodwell (27) is a free transfer. Cover as centre half. Still time for loans.

He is a free agent, of course it is a bloody free transfer.

1. You speak as if the Rao family is actually managing the club day to day: No proof, all wind points in a different direction.

2. You have no idea who or what offers Rodwell, Reed or anyone else for that matter has had - so no proof to say “nobody else wants”.

Makes no sense in the real world. End of

 

Well given Rodwell has been a free agent from the end of June we can probably assume he isn't anyone's top pick.

There might be a player in Rodwell but I would rather we didn't gamble that we can improve him. If he maintains his current decline we are just wasting money.

Travis should be kept , right back cover and can put a shift in. Hasn't looked out of place when he has played.

Yet according to Mowbray we agreed a 4 million deal for a player earlier in the window only for the player to go elsewhere for higher wages?

I don't trust any club voice on transfer issues.

There is no money. Anyone who believes we are about to drop £8 mill on a player are fooling themselves.  No buy options will exist. 

Venkys still remain.

Need to get 4 players stat

This Brereton would be a good buy at 8 mill . Very quick and could complement our others players well. If he scores 15 plus goals this season, not only would his value be closer to 15 mil but we might not be too far away from the playoffs. 

Was having a read on Reddit today regarding Glenn Murray's comments and I was very surprised that several supporters of other teams were talking about Dack being ready for the prem. We need to be careful we don't lose him in Jan , could easily imagine Venky's cashing in for anything above £10 mil
