Re-signing Rhodes would be a backward step in more ways than one.

I thought the Adidas " three stripes " were copyrighted ? How would that play out with the " DasslersCraft " logo ?

Slightly more off topic I used to work at a place that provided you with safety boots for free. When the shipment arrived I went and got my boots and my workmates boots as well. We had the same style boots and the same shoe size. I swapped his right boot for my left boot in his shoe box. So he had two left boots in the box. When it was lunch time I innocently said - " The new boots are here Rod, are you trying yours on ? " Well he got the first one on the correct foot ok but watching him trying to get a left foot boot on his right foot was hilarious. It was only when I burst out laughing that he realised that he'd been had.

It might not be what Jack Walker thought but it was definitely what I thought. Kiddo was clueless.

A better analogy is we're all passengers on that aircraft that the co-pilot locked out the senior pilot and then set the automatic pilot to fly the plane into the ground.

Maybe the Chicken Chokers have told Mowbray " You can spend whatever profits you can make on Brererton and Gallagher ".

They need snookers now.

Anybody know any good IT technicians ? I think a tumbleweed just blew across my screen !

You wouldn't want a pair of the Brererton ones. They come with two left shoes and they cost a fortune. When I was a serious buyer of trainers for actually playing in I preferred " PUMA " until they started manufacturing them in fourth world countries like Treasure Island etc. I'm more of a fun buyer now so it's the fashion brands now like " Lacoste ", Oliver Spencer " etc. The last pair of trainers I bought were by "Trussardi ".

Not many players come back after being out that length of time. It's never a good sign.

It's just amateurish.

Put the thread on ice until next August.

You missed out the inexplicable loan of Harper.

Like it or not but Dack's worth nothing until he starts playing at his previous level again. Armstrong, we might get more than we paid.. Rothwell, the juries out as to what he's worth but it won't be a lot.

Or the fact that Robinson was a serious down grade on Brad. We were never going to get another Brad but Robinson wasn't anything like good enough.

Just what I was about to say. Maybe he could tell us who we won't be buying ?

A coach once said to me - " They don't bother booing bad players Tyrone ".

Plus he's been given finances and decided not to use them in the past.

That's more like it ! Good report.

To be honest neither did I. Towards the end he had the worst stats of any goalkeeper in the Premier League.

Yeah, give them 2 minutes and that'll be sorted.

Yes, Tosin put too much weight on the pass and Travis had to scamper after it. He dived in after the ball and another referee would have penalised him for that. He got his acting in before the other guy could and the ref fell for it.

I thought Robinson went downhill during his time at Rovers. Maybe it was to be expected given injuries and the aging process ?

Travis needs to take a good look at himself. It was the rolling around like he was seriously injured that got a fellow pro sent off. Once you get a reputation in the game for being an actor it's hard to shake off. I looked at his sock right away, not a mark on it that I could see. The ref needed to take his time and have a look for himself before whipping out the red card. Like I said earlier, seriously injured players don't roll around like that, an experienced referee should know that. I can honestly say that most of the time that wouldn't have even been a free kick when I was playing. You got tackles like that all the time. The ref's used their common sense then. Two players going in hard - it's just a coming together - play on lads.

Hard to understand. Green especially was magic. We also sent Ron Davies home as a young player. John Mahoney who played for Stoke and Wales was another.
