Aye ok! No new signings go straight into sides. What a crazy idea! Especially players that have recently been performing at this level in front of players that can no longer cut it. By the way, my comment was about you saying ‘you don’t drop the captain’, my reply was he hasn’t stated a game since March, so a ‘clueless’ comment. But you carry on with your ‘FIFA’ and other poor attempts at insults.

Is it hell ‘insane’. He played In this league all last season, at a better level than Mulgrew. A few days training and get him in. Mulgrew and Lenihan have only played together a couple of times in pre season. 72 minutes at Rangers and at Blackpool. Pointless argument as he won’t be playing anyway. Maybe gets a start at full back in about September.

That’s exactly what you said. You said you don’t drop your club captain for a new signing as it isn’t FIFA 19. When Mulgrew got back fit, he couldn’t get back in the side, much to the pleasure of everyone, so I don’t see why he should be a shoe in now (he will be, of course). New signings have gone straight into sides since day dot, load of rubbish to suggest otherwise.

You are talking like it’s Mulgrew’s shirt to lose, ‘you don’t drop the club captain for a new signing’. He lost his place in March due to piss poor performances.

Dropping Mulgrew? Thought TM already had. Hardly started a game after March...

What negativity? The crowd has been great in Mowbray’s time.

Because 1864 keeps stating ‘that we need to get behind the team’, when I’ve seen no evidence for the last couple of seasons that we won’t.

Of course. As at every club.

Will the support not be behind the team?

Just shows how our standards have dropped this past decade if people are seriously thinking this lad can compare to some of the youngsters we’ve had before. Duff and Jones looked thoroughbreds pretty much straight away... and Dunn wasn’t half bad either. Buckley looks a raw and fairly weak young lad, though with obvious technical ability. Certainly have him in the squad, because this isn’t the PL and he could have an impact, but let’s not get carried away.

@JoeHarvey In the meeting yesterday, I believe Waggott said nearly 9k STs shifted as of then. Did he make clear if that was total number issued, including the standard 1k that are given as complementaries... so 8k sold + 1k, or was it 9k actually sold... which takes us to 10k? If the latter it looks as if we are pretty much going to hit last season’s figures.

De Ligt is a big unit for lad of his age. No reason our young lads can’t add upper body size and strength, of course...

Surely the club could’ve put him on a resistance training programme? Get BB on it whilst you’re at it.

If you go down Albion Street off Livesey Branch Road, there is a car park that’s £3. 5 minute walk to ground.

The authorities obviously see Bury as expendable.

Winning is a habit and all that. But Rangers aside are we really crowing about beating lower and non league teams in friendlies? Mowbray put our slow start in League 1 down to average opposition in friendlies. Not sure on that myself, but it exactly intense football.

Bolton’s game at Wycombe is on. The PFA are paying the wages. Bury’s is off.

No he’s also a poor player. You obviously rate Nuttall, fair enough, game of opinions, but in my view he’ll never play at this level again. But he’s young enough to improve, so hope he does.

Also, Darren Fletcher only became a United first team player in 2004. Keane was on his way out of United by then. Poor stuff from the site ‘football man’.

Would be a good deal for us. He will never, ever be a Championship level striker. BB being a crazy fee doesn’t change that.

Maybe. Still a good deal. As would £750,000 for Nuttall.

I’d amend that river name before the resident Darreners get very upset!

Fast falling into Todd Kane territory.

Selling Nuttall for what we paid for Dack would be some business...

Aren’t all deals ‘undisclosed’ these days? The fees are still usually leaked to the media.
