From Rich Sharpe Mowbray expects talks over a permanent Mulgrew move to step up this month https://t.co/o3yz1urP6q

Why does they have to a best out of those 3? All very special players on their own

Over confidence yet again Jim.. South Africa are decent side. Don't forget we don't if Anderson will be fit. Plus we have 4 inexperience test batsman players within our top 6 now in Crawley, Sibley, Denly and Pope.

I agree. Very good player.

From the Daily Record article posted tonight https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/rangers-winger-jordan-jones-blackburn-21234993

Why? Some players could be free transfer as they are out of contract. Depends on the fees involved and who we want. Depends how close we are the FFP rules. We see in the next few months

Well maybe we see more players coming in from Overseas in the next couple of windows

Who has said otherwise? All we are saying we are looking at signing more players from countries like Germany or France. That's all we said. We have hired a Lead European talent scout now That's him.

Well his first 5 months here he was head coach and we had Paul Senior as Sporting Director(who hired Mowbray). Then Senior went and Mowbray became Manager. We spend 1 year in league 1 so I wouldn't us to have overseas scouting network. Then Mowbray Started talking about us having a scouting network overseas about 12 months ago. We have hired a senior European Talent scout this season. Here is the job advert when was advertise back in July/August 2019 https://www.rovers.co.uk/siteassets/pdfs/job-vacancies/senior-european-talent-scout-.pdf Well we tried to sign 2 foreign keepers in the summer and got either. Did we not try to sign a midfielder from Holland aswell? cant remember his name. Yet again JH, we have discussed the structure we would both like to see here and we agree. But we haven't yet. 6 months left on his contract. Refusing to sign a new contract

Forest have spent alot of money and have over 35 first team players there. plus a huge wage bill. I couldn't disagree that Mowbray has been given his fair share of money. The Brereton signing has turned out to be wasted. But after signing him why did we spend another 5 mil on Gallagher when we need 5 defensively record in a keeper, right back, 2 centre back and left back. But we only got 3 signings and all loans which wasn't right imo co this summer we will have the same problem as last summer. I did listen but they are good players in those leagues who would be good signings for us. Why didn't we get Samba the keeper who signed for Forest before they did? look at Norwich and Brentford signings from France or Germany or Scandinavian or etc. They would have been good signings here. Players like Pukki from Brondby, Buendia signed from Gefate, Hernandez signed from Eintracht Braunschweig, Benrahma signed Nice(was on loan at Chateauroux in 17/18 season), Mbeumo from Troyes. So they are good players out that we need to look at finding these gem of players

Bargain bin? Looking for bargain signings is key player of management. Why strange? We have set overseas scouting network to find gems of players. Also employed an overseas based scout aswell. Look at the gems Brentford or Norwich have found in the last 2 or 3 years. Now we have the basis for these types of signings. I've not going Mowbray transfer record as yourself and JoeH have done it and I'm more in favour to agree with Joe's opinions. I agree we need signings especially at left back, centre back and keeper positions.

loosely linked? we have @SkipDonoghue info of a Young German attacking midfielder being shown around Brockhall and an article linking us to him. Hardly loosely. I have no idea what type of deal this German player is coming in on. could a loan to buy in the summer, or permanent deal or loan deal. I would guess we have scouted the player since our scouts scouting Germany, France and Portugal. IMO, we cant complete with Forest financially. Just look at how much they paying Grabban wage wise. We don't pay anywhere near that as I explained earlier. I should have explained that Brentford thing better. Its not that we cant compete financially with them but I know its a player they wanted in the summer to replace Maupay when he left here. bigging up every linked player? yet again pal, you serious need to reading post properly cos no such as happened. On the Tanner or Ogilive links? I haven't given a view apart from posting the link on here. on Schmidt link? I past no judgement until I've seen him play. on Heneghan link? I think he would be decent signing for me. I have suggested a number of players who we could target this window who would be cheap or out of contract this summer but would improve this squad imo

I totally agree Joey. I think he should be scoring 15 goals plus this season

Lets move on Sparks

Yes Rhodes was 35k a week along with Murphy, Etuhu. Did it cause problems? I don't know but that was 4 years ago. Lower league in Germany? it is the second division in Germany same as Championship is the 2nd division in England. seemingly penniless? we aren't but we have to get rid of the players we don't want to bring in others. Cant keep collecting players after players. Are we going to be spending 4 or 5 million pounds on 1 player? But we can still make signings and target players who are good players but out of contract in the summer. Mowbray said we don't have warchest for signings but we can still make signings We don't know what we give either players signing in fees. Rangers, West Brom, Brentford and Nottingham Forest all reported interest in him. So we cant competed wages wise either. You are totally wrong there as I respect everyone views actually. I would like to draw a line under this and move on. Agree?

Good in there. England have delivered. The England fans there in Cape Town have been fantastic and what a great support

You want a pitch that has pace all the way through the test matches for the fast bowlers but also for the spinners. Stokes has bowl magnificent so far in this spell.

The wicket is dire after day 3. Offering nothing much at all

Grabban is 35k a week. He went 18 months ago. Not this summer. You don't want one player on double the money what the rest are on? Team morale?

Well it will be that high Average salary. Look at what players are on WBA and Stoke. Our wages for 18/19 season were 23 million for the entire club so that will including players, coaching staff and rest of the staff there. We don't have figures for this season Go and ask the players are on weekly. Sure they tell you

We don't pay more 15k to 20k a week. Dack isn't on the highest wage earners.

not watching it Jim? if you were you would the point Ive just make as he does the same one from commentary box in South Africa

nope. Gallagher was 24k a week at Southampton and had to pay cut to move here. I rather have Jack Clarke on loan from Spurs or Chaplin from Barnsley.

How? we tried everything. The pitch is a farce and another example of poor pitch. its slow and no pace at all as Michael Holding has just agree my comment/post from the commentary box

Wrong again What my point is that how can you be so very judgemental about Schmidt when you don't have a clue what type of player he is and how good and bad he could be? I Have no idea on the player. Why don't you reserve any sort of judgement until we see him on the pitch? How is Schmidt a strange one when we have clearly been scouting Germany, France, Portugal? Brewster is going to Swansea cos he knows the manager from Cooper who was his manager when we won the u17 world cup. Sensible by the player going to join a club where the manager knows his strengths and him as player.
