And......I think everyone would cut the Club a bit of slack if it was just this window but with us it's every window since we were promoted. Mowbray made a comment in the LT at one point to the effect that it was one thing getting players out of Gillingham (Dack) and another thing entirely signing Championship players. Our recruitment team seem way out of our depth at this level. Edited September 14, 2020 by RevidgeBlue 5 Quote

Mowbray seemingly doesn't see the urgency. Edit: "Warlock" Lol. Bloody predictive text. Maybe that's how he gets them in. No difference,both clubs tried to recruit early, it’s not easy for any club unless money no object. Boro have done same as Rovers, get rid of top earners, but replacing them takes time and think both clubs will sign a few more but will probably be nearer the end of the window. Quote

But Its good to see Mowbray saying that club transfer targets won't be determined by the quarantine measures 31 minutes ago, RevidgeBlue said: The difference though is: Warnock acknowledges the need for reinforcements.

Mowbray knows we signings otherwise we wouldn't been trying to make signings and had players in for medicals. Quote

Because he is the most vocal with his frustrations and thus seems to be the go to from those defending our lack of ability to get signings through the door, even though it is a recurring theme, especially in defence. What that fails to appreciate is that why, as a club who have lost some key figures and one who was well off our target last year in the end, we are benchmarking our transfer business against the most frustrated manager in the league, we need to make up points and have a better window than our rivals. And also that amidst the public frustration, Warnock has signed 3 first team players to our 1. That being said, theres no doubt that he is as good a manager as you can get at this level. 1 Quote

In our case it's probably a question of whether we sign the two quality defenders we need to go straight into the starting eleven as opposed to "will we sign anyone at all" as I expect we'll see a couple of peripheral signings to pad out the squad that aren't particularly needed.

Tormund Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I’ve always quite rated Ayala, what’s the story with him leaving Boro? Did he want to leave or was he pushed? How come he hasn’t signed for another club at our level? Quote

You're reaching so far there you must be nearly toppling over but I love your doggedness and indefatigability! I wish you were in charge of getting our transfer deals over the line. You'd lock the buggers in the room without food and water until they sign on the dotted line! ?? Edited September 14, 2020 by RevidgeBlue 5 Quote

Story goes they couldn't or wouldn't meet his demands any longer which you'd think would make any suggestion he'd come here extremely far fetched. Quote

He knows how to get promoted, 8 promotions in his career and 3 from the second tier. 11 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said: haven't we signed 2 if we are counting Dolan who is in the 1st team squad now Dolan signed as a free agent on July 1st. The window for this summer didn't open until July 27th, so no Dolan was not signed in this window. 2 Quote

It's a bugger that predictive text. In the politics thread I wanted to say words along the lines of - " the Tories hanker for power ". It changed " Hanker " to " Banker ". When I tried again it changed "Hanker " to " Wanker " ! I gave up then and resorted to " yearn." Quote
