The fact that we are even playing Conway at his age is a sign of the poor squad management we have at the moment, and the horrendously ineffective January window. Edit: Right, which other player do I need to slag off to get the second

Those subs are vile. Hope Mowbry has a plan there because it looks like we just gave in

Danny Murphy and Bradley Orr make Andrews and Lowe look like club legends.

Weirdest transfer the club has made in the last few years.

If we do get Assombalonga then we are aiming for promotion. That is the only scenario where it really doesn't matter if we pay him £40,000 a week. That salary is so small compared to the premier league money promotion generates. I would be surprised if Venkys were taking that gamble though. Realistically we can aim for the play offs, automatic promotion is too far a gap. There is the chance that the club are assuming Dack will be sold in summer and this is the replacement purchase with the hope that if we get promoted we obviously keep them both.

Good as signed then imo. Welcome Britt

Chapman and Gallagher would be great signings. Not too much cost, young and loads of upside. Assombalonga is by the far the best player we have been linked to and would change our season's aim to a playoff push this year. Still a bit dubious about the move due to the large cost and wages involved.

How many losses until we reach acceptable panicking?

The team has been broken since those shocking loses to Preston and Wigan.

Sack Mowbry now. Shit transfers, shit tactics and shit substitutions!!!

What the hell was he playing at???

I have a really good feeling about Brereton. Given how young and hungry our squad is combined with the good training facilities we have, our club must be one of the best places for players to develop. If we can keep this group together and develop them we will have a bloody good team.

Was that the season he scored 27 goals in 43 games. Rhodes was never carried. I don't know where this argument has come from but apart from his last season he was brilliant.

Every day where Brereton doesn't sign is making me more paranoid there is a giant conspiracy and he isn't signing. When he finally gets signed I will be greatly relieved.

Trying to mark Dack , Armstrong , Palmer and Brereton will be near impossible for most Championship teams. We will be a dangerous team.

The hype is already building. When Harrison Reed was announced the top tweets were all wanting Brereton , hopefully he is given the chance to develop without too much pressure.

Yes this makes sense. My parents saw Armstrong in Benedicts restaurant in Whalley the weekend just gone. Given that they might know each other from the England youth set up and Brereton was at Brockhall today for a medical it all ties together.

Caddis, Hart , Downing , Conway , Whittingham , Gladwin, Nutall can go to clear up some wage bill. Most will be happy to see all these leave the club. Graham will need to be replaced but if legs keep going another year perhaps? Palmer and Reed can be replaced by other loanees. The only contracts I would be concerned for and would to wrap up quickly out of that list is Evans and Mulgrew.

I agree he should be worth something around 20 million if he keeps playing well till January. Although he is fantastic he is not irreplaceable and if Tony was given the majority of that money to reinvest I would be happy. However, if that money isnt seen again it would leave us a lot weaker for the second half on the season.

I thought Corry Evans wasn't good enough for League 1 and now he is currently one of our best performers.

If we get Harrison Reed on a loan and Brereton on a loan with a view to a perm you couldn't have asked for a better window.

Was he good?

3 points are huge no matter the point in the season. Keep our momentum going

Caddis for anyone.

It is all smoke screens and misdirection. Surprised some people are still under the belief we were ever willing to spend more than 4/5 on a player.
