There fixed it 

Spot on! I meant to include Amari but pressed SAVE too quickly ?

Hope Mowbray doesn’t think that Cunningham covers both LB and CB, because he doesn’t.

I’d never heard of Cunningham till this week but people seem to rate him 

Some awful quotes from Mowbray this morning through, this is a bit of a kicking for Tyler 

 

With total respect to Tyler Magloire at this moment in his career we are not going to beat the top teams in the league with Tyler in our team

 An appalling and very insensitive statement by Mowbray. It might be his private thoughts but he should not be saying that about a young player in public.

What is he thinking of, and what about the feelings of Magliore?

Mowbray should get a bollocking from his boss about that - except he doesn't have one

What Mowbray should have said : "With total respect to Myself at this moment of my career we are not going to beat the top teams in the league with Me in charge of this team"

Now it's fixed.

Cunningham a left back?

[Iceman]

Rovers: "We are happy to announce the signing of Greg Cunningham from Cardiff. Welcome Greg" 

Mowbray: " Cunningham has only been in the building a few hours, so wont be ready until January"

Yes and a decent one at that. Joe Bennett is just even better.

Wasnt Wes Brown, long before us of course, quite good at both? Just a question as trying to think of some myself.

Henning Berg for us too.

Henning Berg was smart and rarely got into a false position where he could be run at by his winger. He wasn't the quickest though. The least said about Wes Brown's time at Ewood the better although he was a fine player in his heyday.

Id hazard a guess that there will be an option to buy with this. 

At 28 or whatever he is, I hazard a guess there won't.

Mowbrays treatment of young players is beginning to grate. 

I wish he’d have said that about the back 4 that started vs Charlton and not Tyler Magloire, who by all accounts we either want to develop into a first team player or sell for a decent fee.

Start telling the press how it is about Mulgrew and Lenihans performances and stop dropping the bombs on our younger lads.

[Iceman]

Chris Samba is available 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

There will be no signings today, history tells us this, save yourselves the inevitable disappointment come 5pm by accepting this now.

Fixed it again

I would take him for his threat from set pieces alone 

[JacknOry]

Technically not a top team of course but Magloire was in the team that thrashed Wigan. Who is to say that we would automatically lose against top teams JUST because he is in the team. Doubt he would do much worse than Mulgrew or Bell.

Great stuff. Hope this one comes off then.

I guess that pushes Willo more into a centre back role, so i can;t see any other signings coming in

Greg is a magnificent signing for any Championship club.

What Mowbray should have said : "We are not going to beat the shit, newly-promoted teams in the league until I have my p45"

There we go.

Raya, Nyambe, Travis etc all in first team set ups.  Terrible way to treat 'em.

Whats his strengths? Still not convinced we will get it over the line - we dont do defenders here.

Ya, to be honest I am surprised to hear we are the ones in pole position to sign him. I would go as far as coup.... 

Huge, huge, huge upgrade on what we have. A proper defender.

Proper defender. Aggressive, no nonsense.

Raya - publicly criticised and sold

Nyambe - Dropped for a CM and not been seen since. Also received public criticism.

Travis - Sent off and dropped for yonks as punishment.
