I think Barry ‘homesick’ Ferguson was up there as well there was a time when everyone seemed to cost £5m I bet we didn’t pay much less for the likes of Nathan Blake

Another I just remembered Amine Linganzi, I remember when we signed him I sat up and took note because @unleaded was positive about him after previously advocating for Steven Nzonzi! Looked a player with potential but hardly got near the team and went onto a career with lower league teams including Accrington. A similar story with Yann Songo’o - the only thing I recall about him is that whilst he never played, Savio (formerly of this parish but rarely seen now) had his name on the back of his shirt in what must surely be a one of a kind garment!

Who was the lad that we had on loan, played for wolves and then we decided not to sign him and he went to Burnley and got them promoted? I want to say Dave Jones but could be way off there Anyone remember Raffaelle De Vita - Italian lad coming through in the early 2000’s with high hopes but another like the Jimmy Corbett’s, Jemal Johnson’s and Robbie Cotton’s of the world!

That’s the perfect tonic, really tough game on paper and through with flying colours 5 wins 4 losses and up to 3rd, bonkers considering some of the shocking results along the way!

Ridiculous finish from Hyam - no right to do that

Brilliant from Dolan and delighted for Hedges he’s deserved that recently

Indeed

An expected move, one that will have no long term bearing on any of us. Hope Joe Bloggs is doing ok

It’s a round of fixtures, we’ll cope if they are postponed, whether you liked, loved, respected, hated or were indifferent to the Queen and the royal family it’s a moment of huge significance and real history of the country and there was always going to be a period of official mourning

Pleased for Dolan to get a great goal and assist but sounds like that’s where any positives stop Seem’s that goal and assist gone unmentioned by his critics mind

Goulon played in the hammering at old Trafford Bryan Dabo came on loan and never got a game but went onto some ok clubs after he left Remember the keeper Gregor Samiderski (or similar) who looked great for one game at the end of the season but then moved on

If only we had a left back like Ryan Giles Brilliant run down the left and cross just now to put Boro 1-0 up at Watford

Markanday surely deserves a go here, done all that’s asked of him in cup games and the competition isn’t pulling up any trees

Got to be honest whilst some of the signings seem the right kind of idea (Brittain and Hyam) if these were Mowbray signings I’d be moaning about a lack of imagination. All the links seem to be from the English leagues, you’d hope we’d be unearthing some gems from a little further afield. Seems to be players that have agents working for moves rather than us having a clear plan.

Definitely not true (remember him getting man of the match in a high scoring win over reading once), but it won’t be far off, we definitely had a much worse record with him in compared to Nyambe

A recent one for me is the late Peter Whittingham, seemed a real statement signing early in the window and plenty, me included were convinced he’d be brilliant. I can’t remember a single thing from him on the pitch for us! Tragic waste of a young life after he left

Gordon isn’t great from what I’ve seen, reminds me of Butterworth (obviously better) - maybe just because he looks a bit like him but often seems busy but without finishing much; bit greedy too

Yordi was a good one, made his debut with his floppy hair in the league cup final, looked decent, then didn’t do much else Always thought Hakan Unsal and Sebastian Perez could have done more here in different circumstances

Well that’s just an awful result Huge week now in the transfer window

Below the smelly ones now who have battered Wigan Not a good day

Lenihan given a penalty away, not enjoyed the best start there

Mowbray to the Mackems just about confirmed Isn’t Honeyman a Sunderland fan?

Said a good few on here

That’s a brilliant gesture from the club All the best to your dad Neal I don’t know him but know he’s true blue and white

I’m not really interested in how many left and are replaced but let’s not forget even if we replaced them all we were still lacking at the end of last season after not improving in January so we’d still want a couple extra in
