Nothing is obvious.Nobody on here can predict what they what they are going to do. It's not like they have never opened up the purse strings

Shame Dack is out tomorrow

Be we have fuck all else to argue about when we ain't being linked with anyone

He isn't better than Jones at Boro going off the evidence of last season that's why him going to Boro is odd imo. Plus id agree he is a good RB and he can carry the ball well enough but as a wing back Wilder will want more attacking threat and end product which Jones has. Boro won't be paying him 20k a week when he won't be starting,Jones wont even be on half that

He is good but if he goes to Boro he won't be starting unless they sell Jones. If he is intent on leaving us he should go elsewhere.

Will he even start for Boro? I know Gibson generally backs the manager but 20k per week for someone who won't be a guaranteed starter? Jones will be RWB for them ,8 assists last season and he won't be on anything like 20 grand a week

At 31 surely you want to be playing at the highest level possible. Experienced manager? Rosenior?

Maybe wait and see who does come in. You were certain it would be Adkins or someone similar as our new manager 5 weeks ago. Mowbray was given money here initially ,10 million on 3 forwards in the space of 12 month alone.11 players through the door the summer of the pandemic. When Tony was under contract they were wonderful owners who would always help when asked....as soon as it became apparent that no contract was coming his way he started moaning.Trying to deflect away from our terrible second half of the season "it's the owners fault they have given me no money" Hourihane Is very ambitious going to play in league 1 for 8k a week.He has a 2 year deal, if Derby get promoted he will be a bit part player or released.

Tom Lawrence signed for Rangers

Throughout Mowbrays reign second half of season has always been a problem for us with the exception of the league one season. People work his yearly tactics out and then he is too stubborn to move away from them. A lot of those results second half of last season were due to it.Everyone could see Giles was ineffective right side of a 3 but Mowbray knew better. Both Buckley and Rothwell were going through poor form and not once did he try playing Buckley beside Trav and Rothwell further forward. I'm not saying everything is rosy and of course I want new additions it's just my opinion that things ain't as bad as some are making out. And I will stand by what I said earlier that there are 5 or 6 teams in worse shape than us

Agreed and Lenihen told the fella That told me that if our offer had been as high earlier he would have signed the contract with us. He liked the area and does care about the club

He isn't a RB/WB he might have a place somewhere else and impress but he is diabolical in that position

I'm Irish and I have it from someone who knows Lenihen personally the last contract offer that was made would have made Lenihen the highest paid player at the club. 22 grand a week .At that point his mind was made up to join Wilder at Boro.

We don't know how much we have to spend to be fair . If that was true about us bidding for Anel then if that money is available could pick up Brittain from Barnsley for £1.5- 2 million to replace Nyambe. We got Van Hecke on a loan deal last summer who imo is a better player than Lenihen. There will be players available within our price range or on loan that won't be too far away from Nyambe and Lenihen in terms of quality.

Lenihen and Nyambe big losses but they are replaceable. If Dack can get back to anyway how he was pre injury then he will get more goals and assists than Rothwell could manage. 6/7 out of that team I posted were regulars last season.Markanday who is highly rated comes in and Dack who was one of the best in this division pre injury comes in. A centre back(Ayala Is a better defender than Lenihen just can't trust his fitness), a RB and a striker coming into that side and we be no way near relegation.

As it stands our squad Vs Brums, Readings, Blackpool's, Rotherham, Wigan is better. Agreed on JRC

You said we wouldn't win a game.Surely that would lead to relegation. I'm disagreeing that our squad would go down as it stands. Signings will be made anyway

And you think those clubs I mentioned have benches brimming with experience and quality? I'm not saying we don't need new signings but if you believe those other teams I mentioned have better than us then I'd say you haven't even looked at their squads 6/7 of that line up I mentioned played most the games that got us into the top 6 last season

Why have all those players gone to league one so?For a team that can pay new signings a maximum of 8k a week? There are enough things to slag the club off for instead of taking it as fact that Hourihane turned us down when it has come from one poster with an awful record with information.

Kaminski Carter Ayala Wharton Pickering Travis Buckley Markanday Dack Brererton Gallagher That team is better than at least 5 or 6 teams in the division

Yeah and those teams I mentioned have Cafu and Maldini playing full back. Yes we need quality added but as it stands other clubs in this division are worse off than us

Is it being grateful? Or is it responding to post that relegation is a forgone conclusion with the squad we have? We had all this last summer being said we finished eighth. There are poorer squads than ours .Wigan have a team made up of league one players they are yet to make a signing this summer. People are acting like we won't make a single signing this summer because we have been inactive so far

Signings will come in. Our squad is still better than those 4 teams and you can add Blackpool to that. I'm sure all those clubs and others have poor options in certain positions. Costello is a poor Rb but if he was to play there it wouldn't guarantee our relegation.

Yeah and as it stands those 4 clubs and a few others have worse squads than Ours in my opinion. Sure all this was being said last summer too, that we would go down with the squad we had.

So Reading, Brum, Rotherham, Wigan etc have better squads than us?As it stands. Disagree
