I think we are waiting for Mowbray to go before anymore money is handed out.

I fully expect Mowbray gone next week and Hughes back as manager. You can sense something is in the air and has been for a couple of weeks.

I've heard it's Coventry that want him.

I would have made Kipre priority number 1. If Big Sam brings a defender in then I hope we land him as well. For me Lenihan needs to know his place isn't guaranteed.b

Composed is the word that strikes me most. Exactly what our defence has been missing all season. He'd be my first choice young centre half. I would also bring in Kipre too because I doubt we'll see much more of Ayala this season.

I have already said I would love him to stay, but IF we had to sell one player that will make us money it'd be him over Armstrong, Dack, Travis or potentially Rothwell.

Don't get me wrong I would love Nyambe to sign a new deal, but if there was gonna be one sellable asset that had to leave I would choose him. If his mind is already made up on leaving then so be it. I think, unless we make him one of the highest earners he'll go. Like I said I think Tony sees JRC as the future RB. As far as defenders go I think Ayala will prove to be a good signing. He looked class in the second half against Brentford and a real leader. It's becoming obvious he doesn't particularly play well with Darragh. So, as we know, this is gonna be a long season that will need rotation plus injuries and suspensions I can see him and Williams being a very strong partnership when Lenihan is unavailable.

I personally expect the Venkys to have a real go in January as long as we are still within touch of the top 6. They will smell the financial benefits of getting promoted. I wouldn't be surprised to see them fund a couple of decent signings. I would imagine it would take a bid close to £25 million to tempt them to sell Arma, if that happens we can't ignore that sort of money. If that doesn't happen I would say we'll see about 3-5 million spent on incomings. I can see Nyambe leaving. I have a funny feeling Fulham may be the club too. I really hope this doesn't happen but if it does then I expect a quality right back to come in. As long as we can trigger clauses to extend Rothwell, Dack and Holtby's contracts I'll be happy. Financially selling Nyambe wouldn't be the end of the world. Out of all the sellable assets we have I'd choose him, as long as there is another right back in place. I still believe JRC is Tony's ideal wing back. I think he sees him as a TAA type player. After the last window, I have complete faith in Tony to get this right. As far as Kipre coming in, I wouldn't touch him. He made it quite clear he didn't want to be part of this project at the start of the season and I'd want somebody who will wear the shirt with pride. If we didn't sell or sign anyone I wouldn't be too bothered. Contracts are priority number 1 right now! The future is so bright at the moment and I trust Tony to keep it going!

Only change I'd make is Johnson for Trybull. Keep Gallagher up top.

A proper centre half? We have 4. Wharton was arguably MOTM. Lenihan was solid. Add Ayala and Williams and we are just fine. I don't think we need anything in January other than extending contracts. Nyambe, Holtby and Dack for starters.

Rothwell??

Harsh on Buckley. Thought he was class today. Don't recall him giving the ball away once!

I think we'll have some good news regarding the line up today. 2-1 win Arma and Big Ben

Del is our strongest centre half atm. Wharton looked awful pre season and even worse on Wednesday.

Trybull was quality for Norwich in their promotion season. Will be a huge asset to us. Ayala is one of the best centre halves in the league. Douglas already has 2 promotions out of this league and by all accounts is a wonderful attacking full back. I'm guessing if Whiteman had signed you'd be opening the champagne already!

If we end this window having brought in Kaminski, Ayala, Douglas and Dolan for our starting 11 then it is 100% a success. Nobody can surely argue that!

Hardcastle????

Incoming ?

More chance of getting shit out of a rocking horse

Garner loan would be my choice to cover Travis. If we get a left back and there's still money from a potential Josh King transfer then I'd go for Whiteman.

He knows nothing!!! Or He's keeping everything hush hush!!!

Who says we aren't gonna sign them both?

I am not saying he is at Duff's level, but I remember when Damien broke through he was an absolute pleasure to watch. We haven't had a home grown attacking player like it since. Dolan changed the game when he came on. We were the only team looking like winning. The high press game that we are now playing needs Dolan's energy. He's the one to watch, for me, this season.

Main thing to take from that game is that Dolan is more than ready to play Championship football. Absolute breath of fresh air. Like watching a young Damien Duff.
