Johnson, Travis in the centre with a back up of Davenport & Zero existence of the crabs?. HEAVEN.

Yeap. The comment really was the fact i don't rate him.

haha the fresh, keen, youngsters, were after, are flying through that door aren't they...

Bad move in my eyes. Raya gets far too much stick. The lads still young. He's got years & years to learn and get better.

If that would happen yes. Really can't see anyone coming in for him though.

Why am I still seeing Smallwood in a rovers kit? The guys needs to go asap. Can't deal with seeing both Evans & Smallwood in the middle some point next season.

Knowing Mowbray, he will drop Rothwell & start Downing. I would LOL if that happened.

Yeap. Really struggling to see where he fits in? There are better free agents out there. Come on Mowbray, Sort it out!

Christ above. Imagine we sold him & didn't replace? Nah Tony wouldn't let that happen would he??

Would love Davenport & Travis in the middle. Unfortunately don't think it will happen with Evans knocking about.

Agreed. Think he would be decent for us.

Is he a holding midfielder? Take him over Evans despite his age. Be good for travis!

We have some decent youngsters in the midfield area so i'm not too worried on that side. We need Defenders for crying out loud. I would be happy with 2-3 new defenders and zero signing elsewhere. Still time i know, but just hope Mowbray sorts that backline out before anything else.

Don't know much about him. He any good?

Agreed. Armstong has one decent game in 6. Personally not strong enough and his final ball is poor. Overrated player and would have chapman & Rothwell over him on the sides all season.

Yeah i gathered that. Was just being a bit clever. ?. Understand your point fully though mate.

BB gets the blame for our losses now? That would be our infamous back 4's problem. I feel a risk of starting BB for lets say half of the starting 8 games is not high. Furthermore to the above. Our real issue here is the defense, hopefully we get 2-3 decent players in that area!

Yes i do understand that point. Why are you comparing BB to Bellamy at the age of 19. It makes not sense what so ever. Different players grow quicker than others. Like i said, Bellamy was one of the best strikers in the league. BB will never be up to his standard IMO. Then again i could be wrong. 7 Million price tag on BB's head does not help the matter. Start the lad for the first handful of games and see what happens? He scores a few goals, happy days, if not stick him on the bench.... I need a few more starts from him before i make a decision.

Comparing Bellamy to BB doesn't work. Bellamy in my eyes was one of the best strikers in the league in his prime. I don't think BB will ever be as good as him. But like some have said, people are jumping on the bang wagon far to soon in my eyes. Lets see what happens after a few starts this season. Then we can judge. BB's price tag does not help him in anyway.

Althought i get other peoples points. I think i'm with you here mate. I see glimpses in him. How many games has he started? Not many. Is he worth 7m? Definatly not. I would defiantly start the lad more.

There's a difference between a younger lad not 'working out' & a 35 year old not. There is no excuse in signing Stewart Downing. I'm not bothered if he turns out to be okay. The guys 35! We need YOUNG players who want to learn and adapt. Downing is on his last legs, replacing Conway with him is utter shambles.

I'm sure it is. From TM's past interviews, it just wouldn't make sense.

I was being Scarcastic with that post btw. Chapman & Rothwell on the wings for me. With Armstrong as first back up.

Wow! I hope this is a Chinese whisper. Our scouts are class! They will get some serious biscuits if we secure Stewart.

So puzzled by this. If we hadn't spent 7m on Brereton i would be more than happy for this to happen. The fact we cannot afford this bloke makes it obvious not to get him. We need to try & get the best out of Brereton. We cannot afford to loose Dack or Lenihan over SG. We need a bloody defender!
