And plenty of other teams haven't gone to a training camp. Not going on a 3 day jolly up isn't going to determine how we do this season. The players have had 3 week off not 7 week like usual and our first pre season match is on Saturday.

There is absolutely no need for them to go on a training camp.They have been off for 3 weeks. Yeah money is tight so why waste any of the little we have going on a jolly up for a few days down in Scotland? I mean maybe it would have been beneficial if we had made a few signings and getting them integrated into the squad, team spirit etc but we have the same squad as last season and they have had 3 weeks off. We play our first game on Saturday,they would have been at brockhall today doing tests etc, so ye wanted them to travel all the way to Scotland tomorrow,spend a couple of days there then return for a match on Saturday?Explain how in anyway that would be beneficial?

Christ they have only been off a few weeks what's the need for a training camp. Personally I want Mowbray here getting deals done not going away to Scotland so they can have a few beers together in the evening. Our first pre season game is on Saturday no need for them to be going away. Plenty of reasons to be concerned over next season this is not one of them

Munich, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barca have all romped league titles in recent years

A training holiday is the least of our worries to be fair

Back today so should at the very least hear what is happening with Downing

The window closes a month after the season starts then we have to wait for them to bed in and learn " Mowbray's way" We need signings prior to the season starting

I don't always moan I comment on what I see.Plenty of times I have given Mowbray and the club praise. "judge the recruitment after the window is closed" you say this every window.We have no first team goalkeeper,no central defensive partner for Lenihan, no competent left back ,no striker apart from Armstrong as Mowbray plays Gallagher and Brereton out wide. We are a few week away from the start of the season the window might not shut till October the 10th but if we are waiting till then to address those key areas then we will be in for a struggle this season, no question.

You don't need to defend everything the club does. Mowbray has been here 3 seasons and has signed 1 player from abroad in Holtby, it's not good enough really.Covid will just be used as a coveniant excuse whilst other clubs bring in foreign players. Recruitment needs to be taken away from Mowbray,we need a DOF

Although we need new players in the door badly would be ridiculous if this guy is signed before we bring in a goalkeeper, centre back and left back

He spoke highly of his time at Swansea and enjoys working with their manager after having him at under age level for England. Iv seen him linked with premier league teams Crystal Palace and a couple of others, if on the off chance he does spend another year in the championship it will be with Swansea most likely

Robinson can leave for 1.5 million now Wigan have been relegated but it will be a premier league team he joins, sheff united,west brom and Fulham have agreed fees.

That wasn't what he was responding too he gave an example of a ball playing centre half who can also do his job defensively He is an unrealistic signing now but last season he was made available for a loan to a championship club . Think the point he was trying to make is there are young players at premier league clubs who could perform at a similar standard. I wouldn't have confidence that Mowbray could identify and sign them though

No he didn't put him forward as a loan signing. He was asked about ball playing centre halves in the championship. Chaddy is on twitter etc he would have seen White being linked with a multi million pound transfer It's Clarke who was on loan at Derby from Brighton he mentioned as a possible signing

He was asked to name a ball playing centre half in the championship last season and he did . He wasn't mentioning White as a potential signing

From what I read 25 is the norm

Agreed goalkeeper and defence priority but imo we can't go into the season relying on Evans to be fit for more than half of it

Yes but the likes of Preston can only dream of paying 7 and 5 Millon fees on individuals. Mowbray spent the money badly our squad should be in a lot better place with the money he has had. Money can not be used as an excuse as to why key areas in our squad are severely lacking in quality

Depends if Arma is off?We couldn't go into a season relying on Gallagher and Brereton for our goals Altho agreed the first signing through the door should be a goalkeeper followed by centre back and left back

Chester who was previously mentioned on signed a 1 year deal with Stoke

Do we have any sell on clause with Duffy? West brom and west ham interested

It went to tribunal he didn't leave on a bosman.It was reported at the time the tribunal had a 20 percent sell on clause.The let also ran the clause story in January when United were interested in signing him

??? It was reported at the time he left that the tribunal put a 20 percent sell on clause,was reported again by the telegraph when United had interest in January
