Not really the first signing i was hoping for (if it happens) He'll be here for 1 season and all he will do is take away game time to younger, more long term prospects. Mowbray seems to like having older players around, i'm guessing he would be looking at Downing to bring his experience to the training ground/dressing room etc.

We won't be signing Andy Carroll anytime soon. Despite him barely kicking a ball over the last few years, he will expect a huge wage.

Not sure i see any benefit in signing Downing. 35 (nearly) and would only serve to restrict game time to younger players (Chapman, Rothwell, Travis) whilst taking a reasonably hefty wage.

That Brad Lyons lad we signed and loaned to St. Mirren popped up on Twitter earlier. Forgot we signed him, he's already 22. Anyone know how he got on? The comments on Twitter from St. Mirren fans were positive.

Just about to post something similar. Not sure why he didn't get the nod

Game on!

Yer I've always rated Johnson. He must be knocking on a bit now though In the first half, Bennett caused a few problems with his pace on the few occasions he got the chance to use it but the rest are pretty slow.

Definitely. Derby have some good players but they aren't a good team.

How have Derby even made it this far? Their defending is abysmal.

A cross into the box and Derby have no idea what to do. Now its cost them.

The poster boy for signings we should be avoiding.

He's been a good player for us, it's just the right time to part ways.

The Greatest footballer who has ever lived. End of story. ?

Genuinely terrifying

But it only came out in 85' ?

With the gadgets he can make, he might very well keep a few clean sheets.

I can't see either Boro or Swansea coming in for Mowbray. I'm not sure if he'd even go to Swansea. You would think Boro would appeal to him but Hughton would be the obvious appointment for them if he wants to get straight back into work.

Mowbray did publicly criticise Raya at one point. It was probably just to give him a boot up the backside but you never know, maybe he has run out of patience with him. I wouldn't sell him, he's young and has room to improve over time. It's just if we are prepared to see his development through or if we want to sell and go and buy a more experienced/established keeper.

Has he?? I've totally missed that.

I work with a Pompey fan and he rates him. Reckoned if they didn't go up (which they now won't be) he will be off.

We're not all like that ?

Is Gladwin even injury free yet?

Why on earth would we be in discussions with Gladwin? Absolutely no reason at all to keep him. Surprised about Leutwiler, likely means we are keeping Raya as number 1 next season with him as back up. So can't see us signing another keeper. Conway should be released but always felt like TM would want to keep him around.

Tammy Abraham got a free kick and still complained about it. (Presumably he was trying to get someone booked)

West Brom V Villa. Villa players, play acting, constantly at the ref for every decision, John Terry now on the sidelines in the 4th officials ear. Really gone off Villa all of a sudden.
