If Mowbray's plan hasn't come to fruition by the end of next season I can see Nyambe, Travis, Lenihan and Dack being shifted to get back any money spent over the last two windows, leaving us with the likes of Mulgrew, Bennett, Downing, Johnson, Graham, Smallwood, Evans and assorted other players who aren't good enough or too old to make a difference. Right back to where we were in 16/17. 

Don't worry the 20 mill we get for Brereton will cover it.

Just listened to radio lancs, nixon said we will match gallagher bid and offer him bigger wages. Also said there is a consensus that we arent messing about this window. Sounds like carson being looked at.

Not one mention of a defender.  Even Nixon (who usually bangs the drum about having money to spend) reckons there's not as much as Tony thought. 

 

Was this the same interview? Those comments seem incompatible (not as much money as Tony thought, but we're not messing around...which we also seem to definitely be doing so far).

Looks there like the sort you'd expect to find rummaging through your bins at night.

Carson, please no.

I'd rather have Joe Hart.

And he's useless

[CambridgeRover]

Bloody hell, I see 15 new posts, expect some news and then realise of course we haven't bought someone.

Repeated trips to an empty fridge

[tomphil]

When or if Nixon actually appears to know stuff it's time to get worried as far as i'm concerned.  The least he knows the better.

Same paper round as Charlie Adam

33 - thought he was a lot older

Hah, we'll be lucky to get £2m for the lad at this rate let alone £20m. Big season for Brereton next season, he really needs to show what he can do, and Mowbray needs to give him the opportunity to do so. If we get another season like this season where Mowbray shunts him out wide for 15 minute cameos every so often then I think the fans have every right to be heavily critical of the money wasted on that transfer.

Not funny. Shame on you posting pictures of his dad for cheap laughs. ? 

[Tormund]

Didn’t Carson get dropped for that young lad Roos? And that young lad made some howlers from what I saw at the end of last season.

Did they step sideways or up ?

Moseley signed for Clough at Derby & Bradshaw went to newly promoted Wolves.

Same. I can’t see past this one.

Wonder what the hold up is. Waiting for a defender to announce him at the same time and soften the blow?

[SBlue]

I’d be alright with Joe Hart tbh

Been there, done that etc

Maybe I’ve just forgotten the extent of how utterly shit he was for England

People wrote off Robinson I guess, and he did OK for us for a few years. ?

(Clutching at straws to the point of near sarcasm)

Agreeing with both of those opinions, Jim.

I looked on BBC Sport website & noticed that both Boric (So'ton) & Worm (Spurs) are out of contract - if their personal terms aren't exorbitant & they're prepared to play oop North, I'd have either ahead of Carson or Hart 

[J*B]

Nixon is a lizard.

I’m thinking about how shit he was for Bumley.

They tanked when he was in goal. But they were used to Heaton and Pope and downgraded to Hart temporarily. Time now, for us, Hart is probably still an upgrade on recent keepers.

Would seem so.  To be fair I gave up listening after the first 15 mins.

What he did say was we seem to have moved away from the buy young to sell for £10 mil down the line model into a ' here and now' approach.  Which in his eyes was more sensible.

Except so far it seems to be a 'been and gone' strategy. 

Take anything Nixon says with a pinch of though.

Mowbray: So Madam, Balaji, thanks for taking the time to speak to me

Balaji: No problem Tony. As you know we are passionate, knowledgeable, supportive and humble 

Desai: I trust you are telling the peasants that at every given opportunity Tony?

Mowbray: Oh yes, rest assured I am. But the reason I’ve called you today is we desperately need a new goalkeeper

Desai: What’s a goalkeeper?

Balaji: It’s a servant who cuts the grass

Mowbray: Forgive me Bala, I think you’re thinking of a groundskeeper... goalkeeper is a position. We need a new player

Desai: A young, exciting, attacking player?

Mowbray: Well, no. Not really... it’s kind of a specialised position?

Balaji: Can Benno not cover it?

Mowbray: Ordinarily I’d say yes, but I don’t want to lose his energy and quality at right back. 

Desai: Can we not manage without one?

Mowbray: Not really. The goalkeeper is the one that’s allowed to use their hands

Balaji: Oh, that should be an easy job! 

Desai: Can we borrow one?

Mowbray: That’s what I was hoping. I’ve got my eye on one

Desai: Hmmmm, I don’t know about that Tony. We should really let the experts identify the players. Bala! Give Shebby a call

Balaji: We aren’t friends anymore

Desai: Well Where’s that list of Jeromes friends gone?

Mowbray: I’ve taken the liberty of providing a video package. A kind of highlight real that shows what caliber of player we are dealing with. It shows the pinnacle of his career

Desai: This is most unorthodox, but I’m intrigued. Let’s see it.

* Mowbray presses play *

 

Balaji: Wow!

Desai: Authorised!
