Me too

I'd definitely take Maddison before Kent. But I have seen Kent a few times and there is a player in there and we may have a better chance of signing him on a perm,Woodburn and Wilson we wouldn't have a chance of signing permanently and Wilson has an awful lot of clubs after him on loan I'd say it would be hard for us to get him

Mowbray wants a goalkeeper doesn't he?

Perthblue made the tweet up.jesting with Biz.Its not a Nixon tweet

We definitely need more attacking options but since going down Raya has secured the number 1 spot much better option than Steele.Nyambe has improved and is now a better player than what he was,Lenihan and Mulgrew have developed a good partnership at centre half, first half of the season we went down they where playing midfield so most certainly our back line is stronger than when we went down. For me Smallwood is an upgrade on Lowe who was playing in his position when we went down.Hopefully Davenport can show some quality and nail down a position in midfield but if not we have Evans who played the season we went down so no difference. We now have Dack who imo is a better attacking option than anything we had the season we went down. We need 2 first choice wide men and a quality striker to compete with Graham for the lone front man role but still in my view we are in a much better place than when we went down

The telegraph stated Mowbray was looking for 6 signings but that was before Davenport and Rothwell were brought in

New deal for Dack close according to Sharp from telegraph

Mulgrew is getting on and I'd be presuming he would want to be keeping his options open as he will only have one move left in him.I don't envisage a new deal for Mulgrew at this point,I think both parties will want to reassess at the end of the season

Or clubs are waiting until they have replacements lined up before they agree to sell? We obviously don't have much money so we can't be affording to over spend and get the deals done quickly by paying a premium. We don't know what conversations have been had...taking Armstrong as one example , conversations could have been had with Newcastle but they could be telling us they won't release him until they have people in themselves,Chapman it could be down to Pulis wanting to have a look at him before a decision is made.Fact is we don't know,none of us do. I want new signings that will improve our first 11 as much as the next fan but I don't want us to be over spending on targets either

I'l be honest I don't blame the club for not spending 2 million on a league 1 centre back with only 12 months left on his contract. I don't expect millions to be spent but I do think we will bring in a couple over the million mark. 500k for Davenport isn't cheap to be fair he looks a good un and hopefully will be a bargain. But as it stands he has played a max of 20 senior games so spending 500k on him isn't penny's.

Sharp from the telegraph has been pretty adamant that Edwards wasn't one that Mowbray was targetting so not surprised it's not us who have agreed a fee.Decent player hopefully TM has someone better lined up

Presumably the majority of those 105 goals conceded where when we were last in the championship? Since then Mulgrew has played centre back full time rather than in midfield. Lenihan has grown into the centre backs roll and Nyambe has improved also. We need some attacking options in as a priority minimum 2 wingers and a striker before we go bringing in a centre back imo

He hasn't scored goals or hardly played in the last 2 years wouldn't be calling 3 million for a year blinding buisness just yet

Think Marshall was 1.5 mill

3 million is the cost of the whole package including his wages.The loan fee wasn't 3 million

Lee Bowyer confirmed we bid for Bauer so that one isn't a rumour

Pickfords kicking is superb

Rhodes would not get in our side right now.He has hardly played or scored in 2 years so no he wouldn't walk into our side,especially when we play with one front man a role Rhodes could not play.Yes Rhodes scored loads of goals here but that was a couple of years ago,his confidence looks shot to pieces.Two years of not scoring goals or playing regularly is a long time. It would be between Hanley and Lenihan to partner Mulgrew.Hanley would be in now but I'm a big fan of Lenihan and if he stays injury free and continues to develop then there wouldn't be too much between them. Marshall on his day would get in the side but again he isn't anything special.He isn't consistent enough and half the time he doesn't look bothered. All 3 players are nothing special imo.Rhodes on 30 or 40 grand a week?No thanks. I'm not just saying this because they left, and I'm not criticising them for leaving ,the way the club was being rub and with our lack of ambition I don't blame them for moving on.But the 3 of them are nothing special.

That's all fair enough but still in the case of Rhodes, Hanley and Marshall their careers didn't benefit from the moves they made only their bank balances.Rhodes has spent 2 years sat on the bench,Marshall spent a lot of his time at wolves doing the same although he did have a good spell at Millwall but like I said in a previous post Marshall starts well at any club he joins and then he loses form and confidence and he ends up moving on.Hanley also spent most of his time at Newcastle not playing . Like iv seen people suggesting that Rhodes would have been a good signing he has done nothing for the last two seasons,even when he has played he has looked terrible.Maybe he will prove me wrong but I don't see him hitting the same sort of goalscoring form he has at Huddersfield and here.When he isn't putting the ball in the net it's like playing with 10 men he offers nothing else.

They turned down bids for Rhodes .I'm not disputing eventually they were happy to cash in but all 3 players wanted to leave too.

Wake him up and ask if the maddison rumours are true?

In fairness Rhodes has spent most his time on the bench since he left. Hanley wasn't a regular at Newcastle but seemed to do ok at Norwich. Marshall starts off well at clubs but then it goes down hill. Will be interesting to see how Norwich do next season and seeing if Rhodes can rediscover his goalscoring form.

Plus they bid 9 mill for that Reid from Bristol who went to Cardiff. I'd be buzzing if we brought in Maddison could see him having a similar impact to Dack.He is more than capable of performing in the Championship.

Doubt it as he was asked on his Twitter if Sunderland were in for any of their players and he said no

Rhodes having a medical at Norwich tomorrow. Season long loan
