You keep saying this "historic failings" Was Gestede not in position all last year?Was Pasha not here? They chose to wait until the summer(Gestede said this)

But what will you be saying if the replacements (if there actually is any) are more cheap foreign imports and it leads us to being relegated. When we start next campaign in League One will you be rubbing your hands together and saying well at least we got £2 million for our captain and 500k for our most experienced defender? Your point is valid at most clubs who would use the majority of these fees on replacements of a decent standard.We don't do that here

He was asked Travis response to the bid from Derby and he responded by saying that Travis has asked to leave. He has said numerous times the contract situation isn't good.And to be fair he doesn't dictate how much or little we offer our players. The anger and criticism should be aimed at those above and the owners the actual people who are coming to these decisions over when we start negotiations over new contracts and how much we are offering established players. Ismael was asked a question and he answered it so for me the idea he has thrown Travis under the bus is just a bit silly

How exactly has he thrown Travis under the bus ? He was asked a question and he answered it. What should have been his answer to the question over Travis answer to the Derby bid? Now if Travis didn't say he wanted to leave and Ismael was saying that to try push him out then that would be throwing him under the bus. But Travis does want out.Would you have preferred Ismael to say Travis wanted to stay and then he leaves before deadline?

Yeah we will all be buzzing that we didnt allow Brittain, Travis, Hyam and Tronstad leave on frees when we are relegated to league one We go down to league one again we won't be coming straight back up.Madness to let all our most experienced players to leave in one window. The money doesn't get reinvested so il ask again why as a supporter should we be hoping that we get a bit of cash rather than have then here helping us stay in this league?

We will need to create some chances first Rovers 0-2 Brum

Where you getting that wage from? These websites that put up players wages all differ and they won't be correct

Be my formation but I'd start Gueye alongside Ohashi and have Kargbo on the bench nd Tronstad instead of Travis.

No the man was shite last season and has hardly seen any action in 2 years.

Depends if Palace lose Geuhi and Eze which looks likely and maybe Mateta aswell then if I was Wharton I'd be looking to move this summer they will struggle if they lose those players

We Shouldn't correct. But we know the Travis fee isn't getting spent so it will be a choice of a loan or a cheap foreign punt

I like Miyoshi as a player but the attack need some pace drive and goals so I'd rather a player with those attributes brought in rather than him. Baradji looks like he could have something but the fact he may need an operation and the fact he would be another with no experience of English football I'd be walking away from that and looking for a domestic replacement for Travis even if only a loan. It's ridiculous that we are into the season and 3 of our strongest 11 Travis ,Hyam and Tronstad could still all leave by deadline At the moment I'd be playing 3 at the back with wing backs as we have no quality out wide in the 3 behind the loan striker.

I'm watching it on nowtv go to sports then click on Caraboa cup all the games are there

I meant he told Rangers he wanted to leave and that was that...not saying it is 100% the case and I already said the board would be happy to get his wages off the books but if he has asked to leave and is acting up like he did at both Norwich and Rangers then he would have to be moved on regardless of his ability...you don't want a sulking and not motivated Cantwell around the place

What did he do at Rangers? We know Cantwells personality he will want to shine this season and he will be seeing all the experience sold, the manager that was here when he joined gone , it wouldn't surprise me if he is pushing for a move away The board of course I'm sure would be happy to get his wages off the books but Cantwell both at Norwich and Rangers was difficult when he wanted to leave both clubs

The Derby forums where full of Callum Brittain and Dolan signing aswell Do they have the money to pay for a cm when they look quite stocked there and are wanting a rb and wide player? I can see Travis going before deadline but I have my doubts it will be to Derby

Jobi is Jobi McAnuff Efl pundit on sky

No problem 47er

Not quite but he was playing for a team that got relegated,whilst Dolan was playing for a side in and around the top 6 for most of the season

No said we are trying to do it.Player wants the move, his club want £2 million

Nixon.Yeah he passes

Il be honest I don't remember Mowbray moaning about the lack of funds or being critical of the ownership until that January window in his last season when communication had been cut and he knew he wasn't getting a new contract. Stand to be corrected if you can share a few links to articles/interviews of him urging the owners to spend or being critical pre that January ? He did a similar thing with Sunderland agreed to become their head coach on the basis he wouldn't have much control over recruitment and then when sacked he did an interview criticising it. The season he finished 15th when we had Harvey Elliot he should have been replaced that summer.

Ismael said after one of the games "sonny wants to stay this year"

I never said that no idea why I'm quoted as saying it, I was responding to a post by RF99 where that was said

If he is agreeing to go to Derby a year before his contract ends then he would be braindead. I can understand an older player following a manager or someone going there on a short term contract but like no guarantee Eustace will be even there next season. If Eustace gets offered a better opportunity than Derby he will be off...if he does poorly then he would be in the threat of the sack.
