We ihave no idea f that's actually the case or not It's not like he's got a late offer from The Premier League or La Liga or anything so like I say it doesn't exactly scream commitment on his part. I still can't see it happening. If I was the Club and we were contemplating off ering a player that age a deal which stretched or possibly broke our wage structure I'd now be looking at it with a degree of caution as well if he came back to us simply because his other deal had broken down. You never know but I can't see it happening. Yeah I'm not saying the deal is likely to happen I have no idea on that. But to get him interested in a move to Saudi in the first place you would have to presume he was being offered a very lucrative deal. Would be a very good singing if his move to Saudi has broken down for whatever reason.I wouldnt have any concerns going back to him if a deal can be done Quote
Tugayisgod Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I remember Don Mackay once saying that the very first question he asked a potential signing was "Do you want to play for Blackburn Rovers? “ 2 Quote

In other news, Mowbray, who see's no hurry in the transfer market and following through with players has only had 17 players in training for the Newcastle United match. Remember, most of these players are going to have to play the next Championship game as well. 1 Quote

tomphil Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 This managers sees no urgency in anything at all that's why we constantly end up hamstrung in certain positions.

He’s certainly not been great since the tail end of last season, but it’s certain to say we’re a Lenihan injury away from being up it without a paddle! I’d even expect the same lack of urgency in the market if it did happen. 2 Quote

islander200 Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 If any truth to these Garner rumours surely be looking to loan out Davenport or sell him . Be a shame as he hasn't had much of an opportunity, he did well at Burton the matches I seen and has shown a bit of promise the few chances he has had here, but must be well out of the picture if he isn't being given a chance against Newcastle 2 Quote

joey_big_nose Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I am surprised by Davenport too. I think he's decent. Johnson and Evans have qualities but are not going to last all season. I would imagine that Travis, Johnson, Evans, Davenport will get rotated in the flanking two CM "water carrier" roles, while Holtby and Buckley will share the central playmaker CM role. If we are playing high pressing those flanking roles are going to be really really intense as they are asked to cover a lot of ground. If you run out of legs there to whole system falls apart. I can see a fair bit of rotation as we play Saturday/Tuesday a lot. Edited September 14, 2020 by joey_big_nose 1 Quote

The difference though is: Warnock acknowledges the need for reinforcements. Mowbray seemingly doesn't see the urgency. Edit: "Warlock" Lol. Bloody predictive text. Maybe that's how he gets them in.

It isnt, but we are always the club that lags behind most which is the main frustration. We need to improve and our current side is worse than last season, why would we compare to an example of the most frustrated manager in the League. Boro have signed 3 players too so even amidst the frustration he has done a lot more than us. Quote
