If you say so...

If they were it would be done and dusted clearly it hasn’t so clearly they are not! Pretty simple if you ask me

I don't see it as bad, we need cover/competition there.

Just a bit odd we are spending our limited funds on a backup left back, when we need a striker.

Because it's all about opinions. You think we need a striker, I don't. You don't think we need another left-back, I do.

At least we all think we need a new manager*

 

* No doubt some disagree but it's deadline day so sweeping statements and assumptions are allowed.

Pep v Mogadon hmmmmmmmmmm, tough, tough decision

All I’m pointing out is that charisma has nothing to do with being a decent manager. Dalglish went out of his way to make life as difficult as he could with the media. If you want to criticise Mowbray fine, make it relevant though

Was he at west brom with Mogadick?

Mowbray had left 3/4 years before Berahino made his debut.

Imagine Mowbray was long gone before he broke through.

Ya, unbelievable. Who would have thought that with no head of recruitment for 5 months,knowing Armstrong would leave ,we are here on deadline day. Such a shock....

Been this way all through ToMo's tenure has is not?

Blah blah blah. 

We only found out that Glyn Chamberlain did the interim head of recruitment role after he left. 

I don't care what you think Bigdoggsteel but instead of keep banging on over the same BORING POINT still. 

What flip flopping? I'm talking transfers and potential targets. Are you? 

Also said I wouldn't sign Obafemi at all. We wasted enough time on him. No flip flopping there. 🤔

Bigdog does have a point though!

[Lucimo]

I really, really hope we get Obafemi and he bangs them in, if only just to see Chaddys climbdown. (don't think it'll happen though)

Honestly Pickering gets far too much critism on this board. He’s 22, just made the step up to championship for the first and has done alright. Defensively there is clearly room for improvement, but his alround play is miles ahead of Douglas or bell. He already has 2 assists this season.

Edun is a clever signing, gives us cover in a number of positions aswell as giving us more flexibility with a 3 at the back formation, which is something I would like to see us properly commit to this season.

I thought Pickering did well against Boro.

Tbf though...that's a really weird opinion to have right now. That a backup LB is more important than trying to replace the 28 goal void. Each to their own obviously, but...wow.

Only if he doesn't sign we'll know it's totally separate.

Ya, we know that, you don't have to update us with your status on that deal every 10 minutes

You have no idea whats going on behind the scenes with deals and the recruitment set up. You can't even explain why players you randomly said we should sign , would actually be good signings

Obafemi would be a coup for us and it seems most realise that.

I might just be me but rather than signing two left backs for £500,000 each I’d rather just have one for £1,000,000.

Signing someone for 1 million doesn't automatically mean they will be twice as good as someone signed for 500,000......

All good teams have 2 players competing for each position. I see no issue with the deals

Pep and King Kenny have many redeeming features despite their lack of love for the media, Mowbray has none.

Is this kind of thing really needed?

When your manager has outstayed his welcome by a measure of years, perhaps yes. If some fans feel the need to vent their frustrations with some 'naughty' words, so be it.

Spending £ 5 or 6 million on a striker doesn’t mean we’re going to get one either as past experience as proven. Give me the resources our scouting team has at their disposal and for £1 million I’d find us a better left back than either of the two lads in question.

I presume you have never seen the guy we are about to sign play, so not sure how you can claim you would find better!

JFHC.

Dalglish only had to walk into a room back in the day and it lit up.

Mowbray has neither charisma nor is he a decent manager.

Christ, someone with the latest FM could probably out do TM scouting wise.
