We have a years option on Rothwell so he won't be leaving for nothing. Did you think Dack was going to sign a new contract?

No they wouldn't . You think that other managers would have gone over to Braintwhaite at the final whistle and gave him abuse?

Preston's Davies signed a pre contract with Celtic. Pearson on his way to Bournemouth

None of us know what discussions are being had behind the scenes. I think we can all agree that Nyambe should have had a new deal long ago but at least we have a buffer of a years extension in the club's favour with him. Armstrong has only shown form deserving of a lucrative new contract in the last 12 months and negotiating new deals in the current climate isn't easy.Bigger clubs than ourselves are struggling to do it see Spurs with Son. There was no inkling that Dack was signing a new deal but he did.Im sure we are talking with the players we want to keep.

Not calling you a liar or anything like that I'm sure you are only passing on what you have been told but to be fair most summer you were saying no money would be spent and we had to sell players? Apologies if i have you mixed up with another poster

A bid that was turned down.Heard nothing more since.I have never seen the guy play but if he is as good as being talked about then at the reported price tag I'm suprised no other club has gone in for him.

Williams won't be signing a new deal here he wanted out in the summer

Might aswell get rid of the academy so? We don't have millions to spend to go out and buy success.We have to develop,like most clubs at this level.

Same things were said about Brereton and to a lesser extent Armstrong when he first arrived.Players need time to develop. It was an odd reply to my post.

Odd reply

That's my worry with him his mentality when given a start he hasn't grabbed the opportunity. Still feel he has the potential to come good but he needs to start being more confident when he plays and work on his movement

Then why did he get the fans player of the year a few times?

The rules have been relaxed in every league regarding only playing for two clubs in a calender year, it's not applicable this season.

He explains where the story has come from

Announce Whiteman

Will end up at another club most likely

Yeah I'd take Kipre, he doesn't seem in favour at West Brom maybe get him on loan with a view to buy

Can't say I know much about Pickering,but from reports sounds like he will be a good addition.Third time lucky getting left back sorted we hope. We desperately need a centre back in before Stoke.

Didn't you say it was a good signing at the time?

Stoke in advanced talks for Doughty at Charlton so probably won't bid for Pickering if they get deal completed

I'm sorry but again we have been talking to clubs about loaning a defender since early January? We can't force clubs to give an answer.Premier league teams are reluctant to let players out early with covid going on. Ancellotti said today that Brainwaith will most likely be available to loan. Iv not seen any centre half brought in yet by a championship club this window.Preston are also looking for a centre half and are yet to bring one in. I'm not saying things couldn't be better and there are reasons to criticize the club but we weren't planning on bringing anyone in this window until injuries changed that.Mowbray had to go with his begging bowl to the owners and ask permission don't really see how Mowbray or recruitment team can be critized for this. We are waiting on answers back and id rather be a bit patient and get the best player possible than panic.If it gets toward the end of next week and nobody is brought in then fair enough but a lot of these young will probably be involved this weekend for their parent clubs in the fa cup

I'm sorry but how do you know we haven't been making enquiries for weeks? I'm sure we have plenty of enquiries in, but as we don't seem to have much money and are targetting the loan market then we have to wait for premier league teams to allow their players out.A few deals have been done in the championship but none really that im envious of.

I don't think it is bizzare to have let Carter out on loan .He clearly isn't ready to be playing at this level, can ruin a career by throwing someone in too soon.The Burton loan is a good one for him and us. Agreed we could be quicker off the mark but up until a couple of weeks ago the club weren't planning on making any signings this January,injuries have forced their hand. I imagine it's quite difficult bringing in a decent loan signing with the current climate

We do need someone in ,but in the club's defence we are targeting a young premier league loanee, clubs in the premier league will be reluctant to let them out early with all the covid absentee's.Id say a lot of clubs will be playing their youngsters in the fa cup this weekend.Hopefully we will see movement early next week

3 of their best players out of contract at end of the season.Id much rather be in our shoes than theirs. If we signed Ched Evans would you be happy?
