Depressing but to put it into context. Solanke, 15 million. Lerma- 25 million Danjuma- 13.7 million We have Bell...:(

Lindsay on loan is my guess

Matt Jansen to Palace instead of United? I think Palace were in the championship but not sure.

Absolute nonsense in this climate to even imply that we have money. Best to wait and see, but promising that money is being spent on a keeper and apparent bids for other players too.

I thought we had no money? This deal is 500k so clearly Venkys have given Tony a budget to work with.

Both have become better players since Mowbray arrived. Raya was marginally better I'd say.

Well no because then we would be in the relegation zone. Three points mean we have a realistic shot of still getting into the playoffs.

We have lost our talisman Dack. Minus Lenihan our leader, Evans too and lost Travis in the game too. That on top of Rothwell. I'd love to know the cost of the first 11 of the teams in the top 10 today, we must be close to the bottom of spenders yet we are 3 points off the playoffs. BB is looking better by the minute.

I'd love to see the number of players Tony inherited that were either loans or their contracts were up for renewal compared to Bowyer. In the season Bowyer took charge we broke the championship record for a transfer with 8 million for Rhodes. We also had the likes of MGP, Hanley, Givet, Olsson, Best, Murphy, King, Dann, Dunn, Rochina, Goodwillie in the squad. Players who cost a lot of money /on pl wages/ sellable assets. In comparison Tony had the likes of Raya, Mulgrew, Nyambe, Conway, Guthrie, Stokes, Graham. I would also argue that Raya and Nyambe became better players after that season with Tony. So from the playing aspect Tony has rebuilt the entire squad and I was immensely proud to see: Lennihan, Nyambe, Travis, Buckley in the first 11 and Joe Castello on the bench.

Can we give Super Stewie Downing Player of the year now. What a signing he has been.

But surely that's what managers get paid to do! Wednesday scored so he changed his subs. Also Buckley is someone that Tony brought into the team, so credit where its due. However on a broader point, I agree with most of what you have said on other threads and he needs to go.

Yet they still pay the bills. Yet they still paid 12 million odd for a couple of strikers. We would be in Boltons position without them. Yes they are naive and yes they have made mistakes. However Tony has done this to himself. Can you imagine Hughes working with this budget? Houghton? They would all do better.

Today is about the last few seasons. Goalkeeper error, lack investment in the defence. People playing in the wrong positions. Do the decent thing and walk away. I appreciate all that you have done but you have taken us as far as you can

Think we play Cardiff and Cunningham can't play.

Brilliant, just brilliant. Saturday we need to play Williams at LB, Bell should be nowhere that first 11.

Downing, Johnson and Williams have been class. Credit to Tony for choosing to play Lenihan and Williams together. Now hold on!

Gallagher has been immense, running everywhere. Cunningham MOTM for me.

Well I'm waiting until 10 games before I make a judgement as to the manager. I would start with Graham and Cunningham next game.

The biggest decision that Mowbray has made. Letting your captain go, I'm intrigued to hear his reasoning behind it. I'd say Johnson to be captain but can see Bennett getting it

Williams and Lenihan at CB, Bell at LB and Nyambe at RB. That's my guess for tomorrow.

What a statement of intent it is to send Mulgrew the team captain away to a rival. If Cunningham signs then I sense the following Nyambe Lenihan Adara Cunningham Or possibly Williams in at CB or Nyambe. We deffo lack an experience CB but perhaps we will pick one up after the close of the window?

Warnock said he is one of the best left sided players in the championship. Signed for 4 million last year, so I'd hope he is an improvement on Bell!

Wasn't he injured? It has been mentioned a few times on here, it's the hope that kills you! IronS... So possibly 2 players...heart says no new signings...

Depends on your level I guess. At upper end PL yes I agree. But to help us get into the top 6... I'd say he was perfect, especially on a free. It was only 3 years ago he went for 12 million he has done it all and more importantly is a superb leader. Something which we badly lack IMO.

For me Ashley Williams would be the ideal signing. Give him a 2 year deal, leader, been a top quality CB, especially last 5 years. Would be the perfect person to guide the youthful talent of Lenihan, Nyambe and co.
