(That long since we've had any, couldn't find the thread)

Alan Nixon: "Top Liverpool starlet Cameron Branagan will Ben allowed out on loan in Jan.

Bolton lead the race for the 20 year old midfielder"

Edited December 11, 20169 yr by Ratwhite

Alex Sammyad going Kilmarnock

Loan or perm?

Season loan

Reece Burke season long loan to be confirmed but Armstrong we can't afford

Season loan

Getting experience will be good for him I reckon.

If we needed confirmation of how difficult it will be to compete in the championship next season, today has underlined the task facing us. League 1 teams can pay more in wages for our out of contract midfield general whilst Bristol city have spent 5.3 million on a new forward! Bring it on!

We had a massive wage bill and went down

 

Huddersfield didn't and went up

 

Be reet

Absolutely. No white flag from me just shows the difference in budgets. I think we need to be organised and resolute and PP is just the man!

Pratley has one big advantage over Spearing. He's bigger and he covers more ground in 90 mins. I'm a fan of Spearing but when we were under the cosh in the Championship we always seemed to be slightly short handed in centre mid. This was particularly pronounced when Spearing and Medo were in combination. I know having midfielders who are there to close down and cover every blade of grass is a bit old fashioned but every side needs one or two. Spearing does his best, he has qualities, but his little legs can't cover the ground of a Per Frandsen, Kevin Nolan, Jason McAteer. Consequently he's just not quite in their class. Admittedly this is just one of the differences between Championship strugglers and top half sides.

You shortist bastard,

 

Do I need to start a list of shortarses who have been world class

Now I realise why Bill Ridding told Alan Ball to go off and become a jockey.

Will Buckley is coming according to the Sun. Impressed if we get him

Seeing a lot of rumours/talks of us signing quite a few players.

Reece Burke

Joshua Cullen

Mark Milligan

Will Buckley

Adam Armstrong

 

Let's see which ones actually come tho

Will Buckley is coming according to the Sun. Impressed if we get him

Iles saying subject to a medical it's a done deal. Great signing that

Will Buckley is coming according to the Sun. Impressed if we get him

For people like me who have never heard of him - he is a 27 year old winger who made 96 appearances for Brighton before a £2.5 million  move to Sunderland in 2014. He made 22 appearances in 3 years for Sunderland and spent the last 2 seasons on loan spells at  Leeds, Birmingham and Sheff Weds

i know who he is

 

he scored against us for brighton at our place

 

he enjoyed it if i remember rightly

God forbid anyone enjoy scoring a goal

 

Ha ha

Will buckley was decent at brighton. Let hope he can find his way with us.

Another one from Keith Hill brought through the ranks at Dale.

Aye that's the spirit  

 

Bit of a cliche but get the team spirit and work ethos right and you always have a chance.    

 

Look how badly Forest did last year and Udders by contrast as Zico says

i know who he is

 

he scored against us for brighton at our place

 

he enjoyed it if i remember rightly

 

Had trials with us in 2006, which came to nothing.

You shortist bastard,

A shortlist?

Something imminent according to superagent.........????

Buckley innit. That badly a kept secret that even Iles knows about it.

Alan Ball for a start!!! The classic Bolton Wanderers cock up story as told by generations. 

You just need other types around him and we've not always succeeded in the delivering that. 

Exciting signing Buckley proper footballer. ????????????
