  1. My feeling is that IF we are still in for him (as I suspect we are) then he is odds on to sign probably today. The only reason he would choose Wigan is for more guaranteed playing time. He has a relationship with several players and the manager at Rovers. I expect Gally and a keeper this week. Maybe even a cb as well. lets see...
  2. Travis is half a season ahead of him. But I can tell you that everyone rates him as the best potential in the academy. Including Travis. Buckley is the one they fully expect to play PL football. It’s not just his ability either, also the most mobile and best mentally.
  3. I haven’t. He’d be absolutely mortified. I’ll try..
  4. Yes, plays on the half turn. Bursts into spaces and is technically much better than Travis who’s more a 4.
  5. Yeah, sorry tbh I meant WILL BE much better than Travis.
  6. Absolutely bang on. Without doubt the best of what is coming through. Much better than Travis.
  7. Buckley is / will be better than Travis. Not that I want, nor would be happy if we sold him!
  8. What makes you think it’s scattergun? So far it would seem that we’ve signed two and missed out on two (Maher and Bauer). The rest appear to be a combination of agents and journo’s surmising. There are a few worrying about the order of those signings as if clubs won’t move on their second priority signing until they’ve signed the first. The signings happen when the players become available.
  9. Not a chance Gallagher would choose Wigan over us. If he goes to Wigan it’s because we’ve decided to go elsewhere. We’ve got the money.
  10. I could see this one having legs. There’s links between the management team and Dann. Plus Dann is a scouser so a move up North might suit. Could come down to what other options are available. For what it’s worth, I’ve since found out that the Bradley Johnson transfer was a scouting job and was planned ready for the eventuality of Lampard leaving as it was he who wanted Johnson to stay.
  11. Can someone screenshot his tweet as I’m blocked from good ol’ Al!!
  12. I’m fine with it. As I said, kudos for editing before it was seen. Nice little deception tactic with the ‘typo’ part too...at least I know what I’m dealing with ?
  13. Of course he does! Was just saving his skin. It wasn’t a joke.
  14. The season was very good overall. Outside of that bad period we probably collected points in line with 6th - 8th in the league. The issues that lead us into the downturn such as squad depth in particular at CB where we were unable to adequately manage during Lenihans injury or rash decisions from our keeper, the inability to change our style of play due to lack of ability and the failure of our new star signing (BB) to make an impact in those moments all contributed. The Manager should have seen the potential for the defence to crumble especially when he let Downing go but I do think Mulgrews deterioration was so fast. So yes, the rational decision is to deal with what went wrong and then look to replicate (and build) on what we did well. imo we need a GK, CB and CF. I 100% believe we will get all three. I don’t want Adam but I think his (TM)obsession with them now is more down to the change in play that he’s trying to implement. He’s flushing out Smallwood and Evans who are miles behind Adam and Butterfield in terms of technical quality on the ball.
  15. Haha there was no typo. I read your personal jibe. Kudos for editing it so quickly though... ??
  16. The Spanish goalkeeping coach at Brentford. Looks like part of Raya’s motivation to leave was to work with him...
  17. A bit more in the LT about Raya. Seems the Spanish keeper coach at Brentford was a big reason and that Raya was motivated to leave. Good luck to him I say. Mowbray talks about recruiting another keeper and having the Raya money to use. Seems a win win - Let’s see how it pans out. seperate note - there’s a video of Barrows goal yesterday on Twitter. The save from Fisher to tip the free kick onto the bar is amazing. Unfortunately it gets followed in. But worth a watch.
  18. I agree Stuart. I can’t see us getting through the week without signing one tbh. Why else would we let him go?
  19. Just a bit of fun pal. Thought it might emphasise my point a little more...?
  20. Two words, Tony Mowbray.  Serious question for the TM haterz. Suppose we sign a (universally agreed) amazing keeper (in the next few weeks) as our Raya replacement... what say you then?
  21. I do wonder if the mods warn the likes of Merc, Revidge and co about ‘winding’ people up as much as they warn the rest of us...been absolutely relentless this shit today ??‍♂️???
