Williams as a left back is atrocious but as a backup centre half I don’t honestly think he’s that bad. He had some decent games at centre half last season. Not bothered if he stays or goes but he has to play alongside Lenihan tomorrow for me. Doesn’t change the fact we NEED to bring a centre half and a left back in ASAP

I don’t think he’s that bad either but he’s not going to be here so why play him? 

Wharton needs to be given a shot at some point. When, if not now?

Not at all.

Play Wharton. 

This. 100% this.

Why he’s contemplating Williams above Wharton when he’s come out and specifically said he’s actively trying to get shut of Williams is PEAK Mowbray. Zero logic in that at all! 

Give Wharton a chance because a. We need to see if he can cut it at some point and b. He’s likely to still be here when the window slams shut.

I didn’t say that. I said on Thursday I had been told it may have been Alex Gorrìn. On Friday I said I didn’t think it was him.

I’m a bit stumped, to be honest. I was told the player was at Brockhall on Tuesday, everything was agreed pending a medical, I had assumed it would be announced by now.

I’ve sort of said all I can... I said this morning the players name I was given is not a defender, he’s actually a central/defensive midfielder... but now Rich is back from his holiday and speaks about a ‘central midfielder not being ruled out’ right at the end of his update, which to me sounds like any midfielder is miles away. 

Really odd. It’s that specific I just can’t see how someone has made it up. But Rich seemingly knowing zero about it raises real question marks. 

Sorry, this confused me when you said 'he's actually a central/defensive midfielder'.

Ayala had his medical early last week. That’s exactly what I posted on here - Spaniard had a medical on Tuesday, due to sign Wednesday... then nothing. 

Wasn't the player you were talking about a midfielder?

I’ve learnt this is a very dangerous approach to take. 

Haha, this was purely based on gut instinct.

Is this optimism or what you've heard?

Sorry, optimism. I should've been clearer!

Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it.

Yes but we don’t want to blow our budget and Cardiff won’t let him go without a fee agreed, currently a bit apart 

But when would we be buying him then? Crazy to pay a fee next summer when he'd cost nothing

I missed that. Have we missed out on a target because they want to see us show more ambition? 

I was more thinking that this was the player that wants to come here but his agent is demanding too much. 

Just this quote on the article:

The other player I'm talking to wants to get to the Premier League and I say 'if I sign you then that will be really positive'.

"But I have to get one or two over the line in order for them to believe that's where we're going and that's what we want to do and that's how the journey is going to be."

Load of bollocks most likely but the proof is in the pudding.

Presume the foreign player on a plane over here was Schmidt (sp)? 

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the player who's told Tony to buy some quality to prove we are serious about promotion

Intriguing comments from Mowbray about the player (s) that wants us to sign a couple of targets to prove we're serious about promotion.

That's where we are as fans at the moment too. Hopefully, he does bring in some quality in defence and we can push on.

So, Mowbray plans to start Williams above Wharton on Saturday? Baffled by this one. Williams is sure to go soon and we've not brought anyone else in. Just play Wharton - he's going to be here and we need to see if he can cope.

Just now, Leonard Venkhater said:

Maybe, Fleetwood can afford both, in view of the fact that Rovers are paying the lion's share of Mulgrew's wages?

I heard the deal was based on the loan fee from Fleetwood paid the rest of his wages.

Surely that now buries the Mulgrew to Fleetwood rumours?

Gonna go to sleep and wake up to a new signing!!!! 

Early night? It's like Christmas eve but instead of waking up to loads of presents, you're waking up to severe disappointment again.

Yes there is, he told me about both meetings. Why would i pluck a name out of thin air?

Why would Rich Sharpe pluck Kipres name out of thin air? 

The point is, you can't say don't believe everyone else but believe me. ?

I'm not, there just is no evidence of us going for Mawsom and Kipre

There's no evidence of us going for Whiteman though?

Its the only bit of proper news on this thread in 300 pages. 100% concrete mate. 

So why should we discredit others with 'news'?

I wasn't worried over the past couple of weeks as we kept getting told things were imminent (I know, more fool me). Now the sounds out of Ewood are changing and I am starting to get very worried about the lack of progress we're seeing with incomings. 

I don't want to be settling for players like Lindsay when we could have done so much better. It's just not good enough. It's not even just this window, we should have been addressing our defensive problems over the past 4 windows at least.

Even with Tosin, I didn't really want him back because I was hoping we'd actually sign some players to contracts but as time moves on, we'll be begging for Tosin back and we shouldn't be!

They can’t be named, because they don’t exist.

Exactly!

There are the mystery foreign keepers too, who for some reason couldn't be named after we missed out on them. They get referenced a lot though.

There are two mystery foreign players we missed out on this week too that can’t be named for some reason either? JB and unleaded alluded to them

I'd assume until the signing is made or abandoned.

It looks like it already has been abandoned. Rich Sharpe hasn't mentioned an imminent signing matching his description. 

1 minute ago, Tugayisgod said:

Good to have Rich back. A voice of reason and someone who knows what's really going on

Yeah, I agree. Not for one minute suggesting that JB has made this potential signing up but it would seem it's untrue if Rich hasn't heard about it at this point.

4 minutes ago, JacknOry said:

So thats 5 or 6 players he wants. Better get a move on then.

How long do we take to get signings over the line? We must be the worst at closing/completing signings in the league, not good.

No talk to correlate with JBs info!?
