I would like to Jamie Overton and Sam Curran partner Matthew Potts in a very balance pace attack. Carse's first class record aren't that good. 97 wickets in 35 first class games. Hardly setting the world on fire. Seems to be good white ball bowler tho. Needs to play more first class cricket

The link was a week ago. Frankfurt and Lyon to enter transfer battle with Everton, Leeds and Bournemouth for Blackburn star Ben Brereton Diaz | The Sun Bielsa left Leeds months ago.

Rothwell, Lenihan and Nyambe was all here last season. I was talking about wages that Mulgrew, Bennett, Evans, Downing, Holtby was on. Then Armstrong being sold.

Yes I know all that but I have believe Leeds are very much interested in him and been reported in the media. You need more than 1 striker as Leeds found out last season. Bamford be get injured this season. who knows well Forest could have a sell on clause so that could half of what we get for Ben Brereton. It would be sensible investment in the squad and the other half goes against the losses for the season.

I don't think anyone has said the wage bill has been reduced in the past 12 months but we got rid of a number of high wage earner who deserved to go and we went with younger squad which would natural be on lower wages. I said we need 6 signings which I would be looking on making 4 permanent signings and made 2 loan signings this summer. Sensible and logic approach whilst given James Brown, Ash Phillips, Jake Garrett and Jack Vale the opportunity to be in the first team squad this season

No cos they sold Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal for around 25 millions plus only sign players on loan or free. Plus the PL parachute payments help aswell The wage bill has decrease over the 12 months cos we move on a number of high earners and seen them replacing young players on lower wages. I think we will spend around 5 to 6 million but sell Ben Brereton for around 15 million plus adds on. I think Leeds will come in for Ben Brereton shortly. Given they need a striker/forward or 2. They have plenty of money to spend now

Now at Sheffield Wednesday.

I wanted Carvalhal and Farke but we got neither. I have no sources JH so I have no idea where that come from. I expect some left field choice or someone like Cocu. Never thought Adkins or Grayson would get it. You are correct I never mention JDT cos I didn't know he was a manager to be honest as I follow no European leagues or UEFA Competitions. Its was @RoversClitheroe who suggested him so I had a look into his coaching background, etc. Put a bet on him which won me some good money. So far, I am happy with JDT's appointment and what he has done so far. His comments have been positive and breath of fresh air about Mowbray tenure here.

the comment you made I quoted. Yes you have made a number of predictions that didn't come true like Nigel Adkins or Simon Grayson being appoint head coach Instead we got a much better appointment in Jon Dahl Tomasson who has impressed everyone so far. I still think we will make a couple of signings this week

thanks for the daily update @goozburgeron season ticket. I still think we will get to 8,500 season ticket holders before the first league home game

Just hope Matthew Potts can stay fit and keep improving cos I can see him being our number 1 bowler in a couple of years

I will go for 1 permanent and 1 loan. I think both will sign on Thursday. No inside info just my opinion and based on what we know from media reports Elliott Jackson from Lancs Live is still about. Yes it is. I think he ready to be first team squad bigger wage budget and in year 2 of getting premier league parachute payments. I'm sure GB and JDT have move on already and have cash and loan bids for players already in and waiting for answers from those clubs. Still we only need 6 signings so no need to panic cos we didn't bring in Anel Ahmedhodzic. But no surprise with your comment there tho!

my opinion is its far too soon to suggestion who will be challenging for promotion or relegation for me. Expect alot of clubs to make 3 or 4 signings this month which will decide what their season will be about. I've looking forward to this championship season. going to be good watch and plenty of quality of players in club squads in the championship

Well don't know what has gone on privately and I'm not going to be over critical here without knowing the exact circumstances.

I think Harry Kane would disagree with you there. Mourinho got him performing at such a high level he was unplayable most games.

we won. thats all matters

Livingstone has asked from time away from Cricket according what Sky Cricket has said. I wonder if he is suffering some sort of mental problem or fatigue?

Lancashire won by 2 wickets

The LT is reporting that Karanka wants to sign him for Granada. He is in the last Rovers team in Portugal so I wonder if we accept a bid for him from someone and he left the camp to go there for talks. Seems that wise. If he was going to Sheffield United surely he would be going to Leeds airport 🤣

Only 6 days to wait now. I am looking forward to seeing our play and how JDT wants us to play, formation and style of play, whether press from the front and defend deep. Luton and Huddersfield did it last season by having a good coach who is tactically aware and have plan A and B. Plus plays players in the proper position. You get a top 6 place by having a good coach who is tactically aware, plays a style and formation that suits the players he's got, has a Plan B, having a good squad regardless of wages. Stop with nonsense about living in a blue and white bubble cos its complete rubbish!

No surprised you paid no attention there tbh The league table is based on results and winning games not on transfer fees and wages budget. Yes we sold Adam Armstrong and did better without him. We replaces him his goals with Ben Brereton stepping up to get them. We got around 10 million pounds for Armstrong cos Newcastle took 40 percent of the fee due to sell on clause. I am willing to give our new head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson 2 seasons to get us into the top 6 and promotion. I don't see getting promote or a top 6 spot as overachieving at all. That sort of comment remind my Mowbray mindset.

I said after the post you quoted that I think Crawley need to clear his head and go back to what got his form to get a test place. Sky Sports cricket channel on YouTube. Sky Sports Cricket - YouTube

Birmingham City appointed John Eustace as new head coach there https://twitter.com/BCFC/status/1543649497187852290?s=20&t=Y9Ffo8X0Gfm7tqgswPLoAA

And the squad was 2nd after the January transfer window and Mowbray messed it up just like he did at Boro and Coventry by finishing 8th. They were several people who said this would happen here and they were right and I was wrong which I will admit to. Ask the players now what they of Mowbray and his training ground attitude now he has gone and what it is like now under Jon Dahl Tomasson. Would it be overachieving for us to get into the Playoffs under JDT this season or next season? I don't think we over achieved last season. do you think we did?
