Chaddy, nobody is saying they don't trust Mowbray. The market is what it is,the price of players has gone up we can complain about it all we want and to an extent I agree we shouldn't be going crazy but after the good season we had last year and a bit of a feel good factor returning to Ewood and the rise in season ticket prices then I expected the owners to back Mowbray a little better. To date we have spent about 800k on 2 young players which is nothing really.Like I said I wasn't expecting millions to be spent but I thought he might have been given the funds and the go ahead to bring in 3 or 4 around the 2 or 2.5 million mark. The owners always release statements telling us they are committed to getting the club back to the premier league if that's true then they need to be loosening the purse strings

When the Palmer deal first broke both in the telegraph and SSN said the paperwork would be completed on monday

I disagree.I thought Armstrong played well as part of a three behind a lone front man and if I was him I'd be working hard to make that a permanent position. I don't think he has the height or strength to play up front on his own and it's rare you see teams playing with two strikers these days. I agree he isn't an out and out winger but either side in a three I could see him developing into a very good player

Wharton is left footed, id presume that when Mulgrew is injured then Mowbray would put Williams in at centre half and Bell at lb. Wharton will benefit from playing every week, I know there is an argument that he should have been loaned to a league one side but imo I don't think there is a huge gap between league 1 and 2.It could be that Mowbray feels he needs work on the physical side of his game and coming up against big lumps every week will toughen him up. I don't believe for 1 second that we will be signing Greer. Has there actually been something concrete that he will be joining or is this on the back of him being at the festival?

Wolves brought in Castro from Athletico Madrid on a season long loan I presume as first choice lb/wing back so I presume Douglas didn't want to be on bench. Cracking signing for Leeds and at 3 million a bargain in today's market

Nixon and the sun reporting it is Nmecha who we are after on loan from city

Frig it

It's not tomorrow?I thought it was Sunday? I'm in Blackpool till Sunday and hotel already paid for but planned going game on Sunday?Or have I made a complete balls of it and the game tomorrow?

We lost the match but I remember us playing at white Hart lane that season when we were both in contention for the top 4, we went 2-0 down quickly but absolutely battered Spurs and brought it back to 2-2 only looked like one winner and then spurs got a break away goal and ended 3-2. I was still living in Ireland at the time and I always remember Robbie Keane interview on sky after when he said Rovers had been the best team they had played all season.

We have been told numerous times by the manager that he has been given a budget.I really don't think it is that

It's the weekend mate Palmer may have had plans. It's probably him getting organised with moving etc before travelling up north Sunday/Monday

As Neil said the other night the obvious one to.be worried about would be Lampard at Derby but with the signings they brought in there isn't really a place for him.And if Derby and Lampard wanted him it would have been confirmed already

A bit different to Roy Keane tho in fairness it's been no secret all summer that Palmer has been available to loan so I don't think rival teams will all of a sudden swoop in for Palmer on the back of Rovers reportedly agreeing a deal. I'm sure plenty of champ teams showed an interest but with both sky and the let running with the story I'm confident the deal is done

The market is crazy, but teams have shown that you can do well with a limited budget in the championship. If we are to do well we need to add a little pace and definitely another striker. It's obvious Mowbray doesn't fancy Samuel as a centre forward when playing just one up top, he played Dack as a false 9 v Liverpool and played him wide of the three behind Graham v Everton. Imo he had a good game the other night against Everton. But we need a striker as good if not better than Graham going into the season.Im a Danny Graham fan but I don't see him being fit all season

Paperwork should be completed Monday..according to sky sports news and the Let

Have they loaned him out?

Id have Bell over Williams too,he has pace we lack it throughout our side. Glad to see you are coming round about Nyambe

We have been told only 3 or 4 more in.I doubt we will sign Chapman now but hopefully down the line when his contract runs out we will be favourites to get him.

If following the rules put in place they should rightly have been fined 40 million. Not a lot of transfers get done in January anyway,they broke the rules their embargo should be immediate

City back on Sunday so maybe Palmer and the guy we are chasing from City will be announced together. I'm hoping for permanent signings but everything Mowbray has said lately suggests it will be loans. Be nice if we could get a marquee signing in a bit of cash spent on a striker

Didn't think Smallwood was good last night.Hoping we can see the return of the Smallwood that we seen in the first half of last season.Not convinced he will show enough quality in the championship to keep his place but hope he proves me wrong

From reading Mowbray's comments our starting line up v Ipswich will more or less be what it was last night. With Williams seemingly a Mowbray favourite then id expect him to come in for Bell.Id rather we went with Bell,one thing we definitely lack is a bit of pace and Bell does give us that. Palmer is a good signing but I do think we need to bringing in one genuine winger with pace,someone who will look to hug the touchline and stretch teams. Pace hurts teams and we don't have a lot of it in our side,we need a Chapman or an Armstrong a player who will prevent teams from playing a high line.

He is on loan so yes decent.Quality player but at end of day only currently with us till January. That let article this morning is just setting us up for more loan signings.Mowbray said the same thing last season about being able to bring in the loan players on permanent deals yet the only one who did was Downing, a squad centre back

Don't know mate I was at the match.Sharpe has tweeted that it is happening

The deal will be done the Telegraph wouldn't be running with it if it wasn't the case. Clubs will have known all summer that Palmer is available to loan seems unlikely that teams will all of a sudden swoop in for him when a deal has been agreed to take him here
