He needs to play in his best position to be effective. Hopefully Mowbray him in a front 2 because I don't think he'll get much change out of Championship defenders playing out wide - he just isn't good enough.

Is Palmer going to start ? Armstrong offers little threat as a wide forward

I hope Mowbray uses him is best position, which is alongside a big striker in a front 2. I think he will struggle as a wide man in a front 3 in the Championship and he most definitely is not a winger. Jury is out on this signing. I'm not convinced.

Saw us win there 2-1 or 3-1 back in the 1970s/80s (Chris Price had a great game).

I think we'll take the lead tomorrow but go down 2-1. Hope I'm wrong but it's going to be a tough old season.

Isn't the reason Burnley have signed Hart because both Pope and Heaton are injured ?

Big gamble by us. I just don't think he's Championship standard

Panic last-minute loans here we come ! Sounds like last season, and the one before that, and the one before..........

So having played no matches, how could Chapman be "one of our best players last year"??

How many matches did Chapman play last season ?

Bottom 6 team in my opinion and injury or loss of form to key players away from being relegation fodder. Deeply disappointed with our activity so far. I just hope they'll surprise us with a quality permanent signing in the next 72 hours. What I do not want to see is panic loan signings in the final hours before the window closes.

Big girl

Derby fans really rate him, not happy he's not going back there

Raya, Nyambe, Lenihan, Mulgrew, Bell, Bennett, Smallwood, Evans, Samuel, Dack, Graham. More or less exactly the same team that finished last season and likely to be the team that lines up against Ipswich. Not good.

Tommie Hoban makes his debut for Aberdeen tonight against some other club from this area. Good luck to him - looked a good player for us 2 years ago.

Newton has come up the hard way, without a doubt. But at 27 he is old in football terms to make such a leap and there have to be question marks over whether he can improve. The Championship is a big jump for a player who has had only one season in League 2. Vardy was 24 when he became a League footballer with Fleetwood (again old in football terms) but he was very much a one-off, and Leicester deserve credit for giving him a chance when other clubs hesitated.

I don't see the point of making a speculative unproven signing such as Fletcher when we already have 2 strikers who are probably not good enough for the Championship in Samuel and Nuttall. Time goes on and we badly need quality reinforcements. It's not looking good.

Ordinary Championship players are moving for fees seen in the Premier League not that many years ago. Mowbray's promised budget from his meeting in India clearly isn't enough - not by a long way.

No thanks. Poor player. If true, shows we're definitely shopping at Lidl rather than Waitrose.

Harrison looks an interesting player. Lancashire lad too, from Bolton. Would have to put him in the "unproven" category though, and not the sort of solid Championship performer we need more.

I would have hoped you would know the correct use of the present conditional tense. Disappointing.

Class player. Part of the great Leeds team.

Hear, hear.

I wouldn't spend £3m on Armstrong or even half that. He'll probably make a good career for himself in League One but I don't think her has the game to play at a higher level.

Maddison wears gloves in cold weather.... Avoid.
