Carter should be playing at Centre Half or not at all, he played at right back against a good attacking side in Celtic and got the piss taken out of him, he looked a lot better at centre half. I think he’s good enough as cover for centre half and if we go with 3 at the back I think he’d be okay in there. We still need at least 1 centre half bringing in though of course. 

More worryingly, he was our best full back that day.

Excitement is back boys! Haha

Styles would be amazing bit of business, really looking forward to how our window pans out now

Call me simple but ever since I started watching football, I never understood why it wasn't

1

2 3 4 5 

6 7 8 9

10 11

I'm coming to this 3 hours later - don't know where you lads find all the time to post! - but when I started watching, I watched teams set up as:

1

2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9 10 11.

Then the Hungarians beat us 6 - 3, and 7 - 1 and formations have been all over the place ever since!😂

Sorry got my stats mixed up. 3  mill could be about right but do think it could be more a deal rising to 3 if it comes off. Just my opinion. 

Blackpool will be desperate for the money & for the money quick so they can re-invest….3m will be a rough guide I reckon, maybe less if they want sell on fees…if we can give him a 40% increase on wages, then surely it’s a no brainier for him to come…He’s still young…

Well they both struggled but yes I agree, Pickering got absolutely destroyed.

Is Morton any better than Adam Wharton ? 

Well, one has played first team games for Liverpool and by all accounts done pretty darn well, so I'd guess so

Odd comment from GB:

"We wish to thank Dave Adams and the Board of the Welsh FA for allowing Gus to join us so promptly.”

But he isn't joining us promptly? He's joining next month. It sounds like he is leaving at the end of his contract and therefore we have nothing to thank the Welsh FA for?

Edit - Or could be a notice period as 1864 says above. Although that still doesn't sound like we need to thank the Welsh FA for any particular promptness.

No harm in acting with a bit of class with small comments like this.

if we brought bowler and styles in that would be a great start to JDT revolution!

He won't line up across from a player like Jota in the Championship.

Didn't say there was harm, just that it was a bit odd to me since it doesn't ring true. A similar class statement but more accurate would be along the lines of: 'We would like to thank the Welsh FA for their fantastic professionalism throughout this process and for allowing Guy to take on a new challenge after his many years of dedicated service.'

A very very minor issue of course, it just struck me as odd. Didn't expect so many people to feel the need to disagree on it tbh.

Styles has been the best player on the park everytime we have played them. Would be an excellent signing.

Didn't Clarkson do the same ?

In most business circles appointing a senior manager and getting him to join in the following month would be regarded as very prompt.

And it's good manners, too. Shows that BRFC appreciate what we're getting.

Well we could have said the same about JPvH last season - he effectively blocked Carter. But he was dead good.

I guess it's about whether Morton is a JPvH/Harvey Elliott or a Clarkson.

Klopp raves about Morton but the crafty so has form for talking young lads up, but I'd have him in your first camp. He is a good player. However, playing central midfield in the Championship as a youngster requires a lot.

[neophox]

JPV would be a fantastic bit of business if it comes off. He loved it here and I think having a dutch assistant manager will help too.

Clarkson has played one CL game and no games in the Prem, so no.

You need depth in your squad and players like Styles, on last year of contract and Bowler also on last year of contract wont be that expensive compared to others....

Nothing to suggest we’re going back in for him or that Brighton are even willing to loan him out again or sell him.

Should have the captain’s armband waiting. Fingers crossed it happens.

And Lingard is on £200,000 a week at Forest! Makes the Premier League seem so far away.

I read that it’s a very bonus heavy contract for Lingard…£200k isn’t his basic salary, he will be on a lot less!

Still on 115k per week basic though which is ridiculous in itself 

[BigUts]

Dreaming of JPVH walking out at Ewood vs. Dingles. Literally got hearts in my eyes.

As they say; catching feels for loan players is never a good idea

otherwise his team mates would hate him more than they probably already do

What were West Ham offering? Moyes seemed to be in love with him.
