Is it that German midfielder who kept liking tweets and things. Schmidt or something- Weirder Bremen?

The new Downing.

Think I'd rather have Sarr than Lindsay. Big unit. Something we lack.

Not you too!

Lindsay loan?

I'd be happy with Sarr as the 'second' signing - decent freebie at this level and only 27. Would be a shrewd signing.

Are we throwing keys in?

Hmmm...Car crash signing. Have we resigned Sam Hart at left back?

Suggested him a couple of weeks ago. Would give us that bite and attitude that's lacking.

Cardiff fans seem to think he's staying.

Yup - so no need for any fanfare.

Or he's not really worth announcing..

Yeah but that's no effect on us. We got the money for him and shipped him out because he wasn't champ standard. Good business and no skin off our nose whether his career goes straight down the pan or not.

To be fair we did ok with Nuttall. Goals helped the u23 to promotion. Bagged a couple of useful first team goals, then sold for a semi decent fee. Good effort.

It will be. We don't prioritise defenders. Always the bridesmaid, never McBride.

Odds on we'll sell him and won't sign anybody. Lenihan will get injured with Ireland and we'll travel to Bournemouth with Carter and Wharton as the CBs. How's that for pessimism?

You say negativity and pessimism. Maybe it's just 'realism'?‍♂️ Glass half full/empty. Such is life.

In which case the wrong people are asking.

We've obviously been using Kipre as a decoy so we can sneak in our top defensive targets under the radar in the next 48hrs. Very clever Rovers, very clever.

I'm sure the guy is decent but our pitch was shocking in the 80s too, prior to Patrick when we had no money. The pitch is the frontline of the business. First thing you notice on TV. Also has a major impact on the first team playing style. Clearly you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Depressing stuff.

Modest permanent cash signings in the current climate. Probably the least we should expect backed by wealthy owners...but arguably better than nothing. One signing through a European scouting network (that was dismantled under Venkys watch - having recruited many players from Europe previously) who may or may not be any good? Hardly a reason to be triumphant about recruitment. It's the bare minimum Mani. It always seems to be. Managers hired, Club employees, signings, ground, pitch, Season Tickets etc. It's just the bare minimum. Now the fault for a lot of the above may lie with the charlatans we've had as MD but everyone of them has been here at Venky's behest. The only thing that the owners get a smidgeon of credit for is funding the academy.

I'd throw the pitch into the equation. It's been awful for the last few years and cut up badly again on Saturday. Our pitch used to be top draw under Steve Patrick. No idea who does it now but it's another thing that's gone downhill under the current stewardship.

Depends if she's a stunner ? edit: damn, beaten to it by sparks. First rule -always scroll down!

What I would say with Brereton is that there have been a few players who burst onto the scene young, got rave reviews, then disappeared completely for 2-3 yes before bouncing back and going on to be decent.
