The problem is I've said for 4 previous transfer windows we need a new centre half. I've waited every windows and it hasn't been adressed. For 3 of those windows it is well known we have been sniffing around Bauer. I didn't know a lot about him other than Charlton fans rated him, and missed him when he was injured. As he was obviously Mowbrays number 1 target, I hoped he would be coming in at some point so am disappointed that we've now lost him to Preston. Theres a lot of people on here decided that he is suddenly shit, who I expect would be saying good move by Mowbray if he had signed. If the strategy is going to be sign cheaper from below, rather than pay more money for proven players from above, it may be one that has slipped through the net. 8

This is just the juxtaposition and I agree with your sentiments completely. But I can’t for a second believe we have been out manoeuvred by PNE. There is nothing that you would has a footballer think PNE over rovers. I may be biased and missing something but at this point I can’t think what that i. 1

I was told at the end of last season the vast majority of the budget will be spent on defence, with everyone but Lenihan at risk. Bauer going to PNE says two things - either we dont have anywhere like the budget we have been told, or we have targets of a better standard. PNE have a salary limit of 15K - we could have easily beaten that, if we wanted. 2
JacknOry Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Think i need a bit more than Ryan Shawcross saying a bids been put in. I'd think they would be aiming higher in the PL to be honest. Edited June 19, 2019 by JacknOry
roversfan99 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I'd find it a little strange if Sheffield United did go for Lenihan. He is key for us but thats amidst a defensive shit storm, Lenihan himself can be very rash and prone to making big mistakes or conceding penalties, for all of his attributes in terms of his bravery and athleticism. Also, presuming Sheffield United continue to play with 3 at the back, he is nowhere near good enough on the ball to play as one of their overlapping centre backs, so he would be competing with the impressive Egan in the middle. One thing is for sure, hes one we cannot allow to let go. 1
philipl Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Huge gap in standard between the opposition in Aus and the Championship. No way would he get that amount of time and space for Rovers.
Ossydave Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Reading through the blokes Twitter and struggling to find and of his transfer scoops that have actually come off. Just seems to post idle bullshit. He's probably picked up on the fact they've bid for him previously a few years ago. As much as I like Lenihan I'd say the blades need to be aiming a bit higher than him anyway if they wanna stay up

More than likely censoring abusive posts or drivel. They shouldn't censor the drivel though. Nothing would surprise me about the Venkygraph!

You could very well be right, but what I saying let’s wait and see if he can bring a better player before we slate him.
Oldgregg86 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I could see grealish go to spurs and dack as his replacement. Let’s hope not.
blueboy3333 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Did Spurs not come out last Jan and lay the Dack-to-Spurs speculation firmly at the door of Dack's agent? It wouldn't be surprised if Dack does want to leave and his agent is busy doing his thang again. Edited June 19, 2019 by blueboy3333

tomphil Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I think he'll pull off at least one good loan from a Prem club the Vs like to back that kind of thing but I hope it's a good defender and I hope he gets started.
Stuart Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 1 hour ago, DaveyB said: Indeed, and I imagine that many of those using this as a stick to beat Mowbray with, would have been underwhelmed had he signed and then used that as a stick to beat Mowbray with instead. It’s almost as though people have entrenched views and use every action, inaction, rumour and whatever else as confirmation of those views The difference is that one group want us to strive for success and question when we look as though we are settling for mediocrity. The other just defend mediocrity like it in some way makes them better supporters. The interesting bit at the moment is when Mowbray says one thing and does another but is still defended. Right now we have a weaker squad than the one that finished the season. I just hope our signings this Summer aren’t made out of desperation and that we can look back at Bauer and laugh. (Just not at Mowbray for scouting him of course). 4
TugaysMarlboro Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 The relative silence could be seen either way. From the good perspective, we've got targets and figures in hand and we're keeping it all under wraps to protect the deals. Bad perspective, the fax machines broken again. He has the window to keep my faith.

I hope the loan signing is better than him from Chelsea , who ended up at Bristol City . One good 5 minutes every 4 games ... Edited June 19, 2019 by Waggy76
