[Archived] Transfers Part 2

[chaddyrovers]

Mahoney isn't getting much game time though. He would get even less if we bring in an Arsenal 19yo.

He will hopeful get more time now

[Iceman]

Utterly ridiculous if true. We can't develop our own homegrown young players because "they aren't up to a relegation battle" yet we could give 'game time' to another youngster just because they might be good enough for Arsenal.

@#/?.

And like Byrne, probably won't play him

Abdoul Ba. Now in talks with both Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers. Big centre half. Cheap deal.

Wolves. Messing around with Ben Marshall. And interested in Grant Hanley on loan.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Arent Nyambe, Mahoney part of the first team squad atm.

Would have prefer Mahoney to have played yesterday instead tho. Thought Conway slowed our play down and didnt play high enough

Maybe Mahoney hasn't got the engine for a full 90 minutes. If that's the case giving him the last 20 or 25 minutes against tiring defenders makes sense to me.

I've not seen much of the lad but Parson compared him to Brian Hill. He always looked tired after about 20 minutes.

[gumboots]

Damien Duff always looked shattered from kick off onwards.

[LDRover]

If he has then I expect Brazil to be given the job

Blimey, that's ground breaking.

Fair to say big head's move hasn't quite worked out the way he envisaged. If Newcastle get promoted he'll be offloaded sharpish as he is nowhere near a PL level defender. Mid to bottom half of the Championship is about his standard.

Ba has only played thirteen times in Ligue 2.

True.

Blackburn keen on Lucas Joao at Sheff Wed on loan. So are Wigan...

Joao is a good player. would be a decent signing if we could get him

[LewisF]

No chance

I live around thirteen miles from Brockhall but even from here I can hear a large barrel being scraped.

But as its from the worst journalist I have ever read I'll treat it like most of his other articles of guesswork.

Decent player but we need a centre half,right back,central midfielder and a winger wouldn't go amiss.We already have Gallagher,Graham and Stokes as fowards.Would be a pretty pointless signing if the other positions arnt filled.Clueless Coyle

what do you expect with Venkys as owners? we had this for past 18 months

Don't need a winger. agree on Centre half and right back. then we could use Mulgrew in centre midfield with Evans.

Stokes might leave on loan.

Correction. We have had if for six years.

Dont need a winger?Take it you rate Feeney then?Conway has been poor this season and lacks pace.Mahoney is only young,though I'd like to see him being given a chance,can't rely on him in a relegation battle.Please explain why you think we don't need a winger?

On Joao is he any better than Gallagher or Graham? in my opinion no.So why would he leave sitting on the bench at Sheffield Wednesday to sit on the bench with us.Pointless signing imo when we have other priority positions that need filling

Did you see his match report ? No mention of protests apart from attributing the tennis balls to Blackpool fans because they want their owner out. The guy is a giant phallic shaped object and if his keyboard moves it's a lie, proven so many times over the past few years.

How often are Mulgrew and Evans fit?

Seems to me like he has his own mandate for 'Operation Empty Ewood'!

Hes an idiot, 21 goal strikeforce, Stokes a more than capable replacement, Emnes potentially coming back, a terrible keeper, a leaky defence, a midfield that treat the ball like a hot potato. We need another striker then...

[JHRover]

Coyle's 'philosophy' as a manager is to go and outscore the opposition. It's therefore no surprise if he is concentrating on signing more strikers despite that being the only successful component of the team at present and the only area we haven't been plagued by injuries this season.

Of course any decent manager would be hard at work rectifying the defence which would include a change in personnel if necessary, but this 'manager' will carry on with the same approach as at Burnley, Bolton and Wigan and neglect the defence, meaning we will continue to see goals conceded at a disastrous rate.

[MGAndy]

let me say this slowly

we are not signing a n y b o d y

so no need to worry about any of this

a little over 48 hours to go and it will all be over

Not wrong, we're not good enough anywhere on the pitch however Emnes may not be coming back, Graham could break down at any point and that would only leave us an injury to Gallagher away from having no-one so I wouldn't be against a decent striker coming in per se.
