pjt Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Think something has gone on with Mulgrew and Mowbray. New contract, club captain then loaned to WIgan before he ended it and came back. Think Charlie might have thought he had a move (or two - one last summer and one in january) and Mowbray doesnt want him in the mix. Quote

Ossydave Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 This is turning into a right shower of shite, not sure why any of us expected any different mind - especially in the current climate. Leicester must have someone garbage in their reserves we can just bundle on the coach after the game on Sat and have done with it. Brace yourselves my arse ? 2 Quote

He ain't daft he knows how to keep himself relevant beyond being a utility man. Team captain and the manager is scared stiff of sidelining him, remember that when he's being slated this season after games. He works hard and takes our plan onto the pitch! 1 Quote

I’d feel quite a lot better with a centre back in, and ideally a left back. Is Kipre this season’s Bauer? All our eggs in one reluctant basket followed by a late loan? Let’s hope the end result is someone of the same quality as Tosin.... Quote

Rocket science. Quote

Keep U23 signings to a three line box on the inside back page and ask proper questions! Quote

Yawn. Yawn. I actually think West Brom are fannying about in a similar manner too which is making things even worse for us! No excuse but that's how I'm seeing it due to the whole Kipre shambles. As it stands I think they've only confirmed one signing themselves, Pereira, who was on loan there last season anyway. They most definitely need a few bodies through the door to stand even a remote chance of survival next season. On top of Kipre they just seem to be 'trying for players, Karlan Grant, Button etc and nothing to show for it. Quote

Eight days until the new season kicks off and just wtf are we!? @Paul Mani still eulogising? This window lasts until October 5th and then for EFL clubs there is an extension till the 16th of October so I’m not concerned yet. Still plenty of time for deals to go through. 3 Quote

roversfan99 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 We need more than 2 players but can you not surely understand why people have no faith in Mowbray fixing our defence? Quote

Eight days until the new season kicks off and just wtf are we!? @Paul Mani still eulogising? This window hasn't really panned out any differently to any other since we were promoted. The story about having a bid in for Kipre seems to match our usual modus operandi. There's a fee and wages that will get a player into the Club, we offer something else entirely, miss out altogether on our original targets, end up scratching around at the last minute chucking money like water at anyone still available and then after the window shuts complain at the level of the market and how we almost got various deals over the line. We got away with it last year to some extent with Tosin although its questionable how sound a long term strategy it is to fritter money away on loan fees every year and be in the position of having to replace key players every 12 months. We might not be quite so lucky this time although the silver lining might be that if we struggle to bring anyone else in it will allow youngsters like Wharton and Dolan to blossom. 2 Quote

Have faith!!! Defenders are coming The problem with last minute is its already fast approaching last minute, just over a week to go till the season starts. On top of that though we all know TM isn't usually one to rush players straight into the team either. We need to hit the ground running given the tough start or we're simply going to end up looking at mid table mediocrity (or worse) by Christmas. Quote

Eight days until the new season kicks off and just wtf are we!? @Paul Mani still eulogising? The transfer window has been open for what? 36 days? In that time we have a new number one keeper on a longterm deal, a highly promising winger who is pushing for 1st team recognition already, have signed a promising young forward on a free, have made offers for players that haven't panned out (it happens), have made headway in moving on high earners who aren't pushing for 1st team selection as much as they should be and have clearly set out what we are looking for in budget without being bullied by player or other clubs. I would rate Mowbray and co's success at present a B- 2 Quote

No. ??♂️ He refused to sign a new contract because PNE didn't show any intention of giving him 1st team football. We offered him a chance. 3 Quote
