Hope we don't send Buckley out on loan just looks quality. What's Mowbray's plan with Davenport.He would have been better off playing fir the under 23s.

We brought in Ayala today

Buckley is a lovely player

Playing well ,moving the ball quickly

No Evans? Would have liked to see Davenport and Buckley start

That will be how we do the deal if it comes off no doubt. Like you say Holtby must have been done that way as he was on wages higher than our ceiling

If any truth to these Garner rumours surely be looking to loan out Davenport or sell him . Be a shame as he hasn't had much of an opportunity, he did well at Burton the matches I seen and has shown a bit of promise the few chances he has had here, but must be well out of the picture if he isn't being given a chance against Newcastle

Yeah I'm not saying the deal is likely to happen I have no idea on that. But to get him interested in a move to Saudi in the first place you would have to presume he was being offered a very lucrative deal. Would be a very good singing if his move to Saudi has broken down for whatever reason.I wouldnt have any concerns going back to him if a deal can be done

You have a job offer agreed but someone comes in with a better pay packet what do you do? Ayala isn't a Blackburn Rovers supporter like you and I, it is his profession and he got a better offer doesn't mean he wasn't that interested in signing in the first place, he had agreed terms.

That fella who tweeted was the same guy who had it about Kipre before anyone else broke it.Fingers crossed Ayala the type we need

Why wouldn't they? Any manager here gets to practically run the club.Mowbray has been backed with cash and hasn't been forced to sell a single player. Offer enough money and a lot of managers would come here.

To be fair tho he had massive potential we developed him sold him for 3 million and Brentford only had him one season and joining Arsenal for 13 million.I don't think anyone can say that is good business by us

Arsenal have agreed to let Martinez join Villa they wouldn't have done that if they didn't have a keeper imminent themselves.Of course it might not be Raya but all speculation pointing to him

Hope we carry on with the high pressing game and not revert back to the sideways passing.Thought we put some really lovely moves together. Need a quality left back and centre half asap,I'm giving the manager a little leeway as we are trying to improve the quality of player we bring in on a small budget (it should have been addressed last summer though)

Great stuff Nyambe,lovely finish Armstrong.Get in

You would think they have something agreed as Martinez on way to villa for a medical

Hanley is injured

We have only sold one asset in Mowbray's time here.And we have spent quite a bit in that time. I'm not referring to when Kentaro were involved. Gary Bowyer brought in quite a few players.And then we had a transfer embargo to deal with altho I presume you don't believed that happened as clubs don't get punished for not sticking to ffp limits in your mind Last summer we spent 5 million on Gallagher and sums on Holtby, Johnson, Downing and Tosin.So the Raya money wasnt used?

Selling one of their better players in Brown to Stoke and Mawson rumoured to be on the move also. You never mention the sales these clubs make to fund their transfer business do you? Should we sell Armstrong so we can bring in a few players?Would that make you happy

Waggot talked about him in one of the interviews I seem either lancs live or telegraph

Name me a club in this division who's business you are envious of? The club's who have made decent signings are the one's who have sold players to find them Notts forest, Norwich, Brentford, Birmingham have all sold players for significant fees.We have sold 1 player in 3 years I'm sure we would have one or two more through the door if we were targetting players of lower calibre.I would rather the right player in even if it takes till the end of the window rather than a sign a sub standard player who we will most likely want to replace in 12 month time

IL take rich Sharpe's word over yours that we did make offers and Ayala was pencilled in for medical. This squad will not get relegated only way of becoming promotion contenders is buying quality that will go into the first 11 not just any old player just so we can say we have someone in.Sarr got relegated last season

You seem to be ignoring the fact since March the club has feck all income. Wether you like it or not Ffp is a thing or did you miss us being under an embargo ? You also said yourself we were close with Ayala,you seem to want anybody in no matter the quality. And as for defensive signings they have been made not in Mowbray's tenure granted but HE chose to spend his competitive budget on Gallagher and Brereton.Keep peddling your fairytales IL stick to the fact the manager has had more than enough money to sort the defence out but chose to spend the money elsewhere.Answer me this if Venkys don't sign off defensive deals then why did they agree to pay a 1 million loan fee and wages for Tosin for a year We are trying to sign players would it make you happy to bring in a sub standard player just to get a body in?Nothing is stopping us paying 10k a week for a player or are you now saying we were never close with Ayala? And another thing that you seem to have missed we are in the middle of a global pandemic do you really expect or want us to be throwing cash about when people's jobs are at risk.You want cash signings to replace the likes of Smallwood and Hart...deluded

Prime aged championship players of a promotion quality are above our wage cap though.The Venkys have given him money to spend no doubt but I do believe he still has a ceiling on what he can offer in wages. We have paid big wages before Rhodes,Best, Etuhu,Murphy etc etc and we ended up in a transfer embargo.Unless we start to see an increase in fans attending when it is allowed again then we cant up our wage ceiling due to ffp In my opinion it's silly to think he doesn't want to get promoted.He would get a new contract with better money,he gets sacked big payout and would have a better chance of getting another job with another promotion on his cv

You can't really believe that Mowbray doesn't want to get promoted? Why on earth would he not want another promotion on his CV.Not to mention the new contract and healthy pay increase he would likely receive?Even if he got the sack after he would have a much better pay off and also have a better chance of being in contention for jobs that became available in the championship. I'm not his biggest fan and want signings as much as the next man,he is working to a budget and wage cap, I believe we were close with Kipre and even closer with Ayala as I believe Sharpe when he said deal very close but clubs came in and offered them better deals. At least they seem to be trying to bring in a high calibre player for this level.Some are bemoaning that we didn't sign Naby Sarr he just got relegated and although I think he is ok no way do I think a Naby Sarr or a player of similar calibre will take us up a level.
