Nope from me, Owen coyle had st Johnstone looking good too, Derek Mcinnes, it’s a road that’s not worked too well for us in the past. Christ even mowbray was well regarded in Scotland until Celtic disaster 

[Bbrovers2288]

Luke jephcott would be one I’d be happy to take a punt on if the price was right, real in the box finisher 

[Wegerleswiggle]

Would Anthony Elanga from United fit the bill as the loan deal for a No.10?

He had a purple patch for 18 games last season behind closed doors and scored 14 goals....apart from.that nothing really to get excited about.  I'd like to see some sustained goals before signing someone like that....if he can score 20 at League 1 level this season then perhaps....

Thought he was more a winger. Shola Shoretire might fit the bill. Queue on those two would be Long though..

Yes absolutely, would play out on the left and maybe move Brereton through the middle.

Elanga and Hannibal are the two loaners that I really want.

This idea about midfielders chipping in is nice in practice, but do you genuinely think that Buckley, Rothwell, Travis etc will start scoring a decent amount of goals?

Well we see but you said the same about Brereton tho. Now 3 goals in 4 games

4 in 10 goal record in the prem.

Amounts to around 14 goals in the premier league in a season? 

Obafemi ain't coming here. Time to move on from a player who didn't much interested in coming here. We have WASTED Enough time pursing him. Time to sign a striker who wants to be here.

Who can we get that guarantees 15 goals?  That is the type of return we should expect from Gallagher based on what we paid for him.

Plenty of good strikers out there. Suggested a few players recently on here. But down to sign the best striker who will score goals for. 

[TheRoversReturn]

Yep, the Obafemi ship has long since sailed. We need a striker. Even if we bring nobody else in, a decent striker and target man would improve us immensely. We're crying out for one.

We're gonna get nowhere in the long run this season with Dolan up front or the false nine experiment.

I was at Anfield yesterday for their match with Burnley (business thing - long story) but I was really proud of Blackburn Rovers and the effect we’ve had on Harvey Elliott. He was magnificent in the flesh and the Liverpool fans before and after in the lounge as well as on the terrace were waxing lyrical about him and us.

Elliott, at 18 is undoubtedly going to be an absolutely stunning footballer in my opinion. 

fwiw I think we are growing a strong reputation for developing youth both internally and externally and it wouldn’t surprise me if we get to see a lot of future megastars at Ewood. The links with the likes of  Elanga and Doyle are testament to that.

From a personal point of view I wouldn’t mind us developing a more sustainable model, encompassing a young, progressive manager, our own academy graduates, some future megastars from the likes of Liverpool and City etc and a sprinkling of decent quality experience. Sell one or two every year and reinvest a chunk back to buy players like Arma, Dack and Diaz who may generate a bigger fee in the future.

I don't think many would have an issue with that model.  However, the model has to be with the aim of building a promotion side, not just putting players in a shop window.

Waggott was rumoured to have been in one of the lounges yesterday telling people that a loan deal is done for a 'number 10' who flew into Manchester on Friday with his parents to have a look around. Two clues are there in that he flew and with his parents. He said it was to be announced on Monday. He also said a left back is coming in next week on loan.

So it's a kid 

And not from one of the big NW clubs. 

Doesn't bode that well.

If true that's 4 loan spots filled (with the Brighton lad). The LB is bound to be a cheap Loan as it's mainly cover.

That would leave one loan spot left.  Most likely a CB - although I think Carter has definitely shown enough to be amongst the first team and not go out on loan.

 

Obviously, interesting to see who it is but we don't  seem to be addressing the lack of goals in the side.

Hidden clues? Or just that he’s a number 10 and that he flew in?

I presume he means flew in(not from one of the Manchester clubs) and with his parents (young)

Right then lads let start compiling a list of every player 19 or younger who still have both parents and lives far enough away to warrant flying to Manchester.

And would you believe a word Waggot spoke ?

That's how I read it. Not a Northern or Midlands club and accompanied by his parents.

I can't stand Waggott but why would he lie about that? Saying the deal is done, even by his standards is pretty concrete to me.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We’ll be able to field a team with 3 or 4 No 10’s, 5 when Dack comes back. I don’t know what goes on in Mowbray’s head but he needs to stop listening to the voices.

Whilst that is the most likely scenario, if the club wanted to lavish a little bit of luxury on a young player (emperor's new clothes and all that designed to impress) and his parents, you could just charter a plane from literally any airfield and fly them to Manchester. Obviously would make little sense if the travel time was less by car, but not a lot makes sense with our club these days anyway. My wild stab in the dark is some other promising kid from Southampton (which has a decent airport) who will come as part of a loan make weight, following the failure of the Obafami deal to progress. 

[yeti-dog]

If I'm honest I'm not a big fan of Lenihan. He gets allowances for being one of 'us' but, as a footballer, he's very limited.

Composure on the ball is negligible and is forward passing is atrocious. I'm okay with him signing an extension as it sets a bit of a precedent for the others to hopefully follow but ultimately it feels like we need better if we're ever going to really push for the next level.

[tomphil]

Lenihen is a no frills bog standard championship defender he gets through plenty of the dirty work.  When you look at the likes of Hanley he had more presence but football wise he was no better.

Capable of the odd cock up and selfish acts as well so both are probably where they should be right now. One at a yoyo club the other middle of the road second tier but if Lenihen can improve his composure a bit he can still improve his status.

Shame that we’ve learnt this lad isn’t from a NW club. Got excited about Anthony Elanga possibilities (because what a player he is!). 

Not got a clue who Waggott is on about though. Would be a bit annoying if it’s the Brighton one just being described as a #10
