Pritchard goes with the Mowbray management situation, mediocre at best and at some point will be replaced……. Yep but it's what the club needs now to stabilise it - the LAST thing we need now is relegation.

Yep but it's what the club needs now to stabilise it - the LAST thing we need now is relegation. Negative view, negative stance by the club, were not getting relegated wether Rooney or Mowbray are in charge, with the transfer window and cash available from the self sponsor route it was never on the cards

Seeing links to the Wigan keeper, Sam Tickle.
Is he a fancy of anyone's?

Can't comment on his ability as a keeper but poor judgement imo naming his daughter Slapan.

Couldn't disagree more on your take on Burke tbh. Technically one of our top three? Undoubted heaps of natural talent? Dear me, he's an athlete and that's it full stop, average to poor technique, no footballng brain at all, it's like throwing your dog a ball at the park. I can't even think of a less naturally talented player and if we've got two at most more techniclly gifted than him then scrap the entire squad tomorrow and bring in 20 players cus we'd really be in trouble.
As for Pritchard, he's a decent player but I'm not really fussed tbh and think some of our fans are building him up to be far more than he really is. He's a footballer with an actual football brain but turned 30 with mediocre direct goal contributions. He could help us knit things together over the next 18 months and no problem if Mogga wants him but expect it wouldn't be long before he was significantly upgraded.
I’m not a Burke fanboy. I did say is it is time to say goodbye. My point was, he was good enough for Werder Bremen to sign him, for the Baggies to shell out £20 million on him, he was once dubbed the Scottish Gareth Bale and he is still only 26. I have seen glimpses to know how good he could have been. But they are only glimpses and unfortunately none of them since he came here. I stand by my view that it was right for ™ to want to take a good look at him, before sending him to the scrapheap and looking elsewhere for options. I can well understand why this view is very unpopular. To say the least 😊

Didn't want Burke and will be delighted when this waste of money is moved on. The clamour for midfielders can only mean JJ is moving on. The latest clubs being linked to him are Wolves and Crystal Palace. How is he only worth £10m when Wharton is worth £18m? I fully expect Paik and Pritchard to come in and JJ to be sold. I'd love us to sign a striker but I doubt it will happen.

I do agree when he very first burst onto the scene he looked very special but that is the ONLY time that has been the case, some 8 years ago now. Plenty of clubs have paid fortunes for players only to realise they'd bought a lemon soon after. Such is the story of Oliver Burke with the most amazing element being how many second hand buyers have thought they would be the ones to rekindle his youthful promise, such hubris in the face of significant and long standing evidence to the contrary.

Tickle is a proper player. Get a very bright future. But i imagine it’s an expensive summer deal where some prem club chucks a fortune at him

Apparently his wife Tess is keen to move to Birmingham. Could all be bollocks though.

Apparently QPR have made Willock available for transfer. Maybe worth a punt if cheap.

Blues have registered an interest in Rak-Sakyi but Palace are waiting to see what happens during the transfer window. Surprised they haven't offered him as part of the deal to take James.
Wolves have now registered their interest too.
Non transfer news, John Park joins as chief International scout.

As a child you sought happiness. That's pretty normal. My missus is a trainee psychiatrist and has pshyco analysed everything about me. I love Blues because all my life I've struggled and associate myself with the underdog but it also means I'm easily pleased so lack drive and ambition.

I think we're nearly all within a certain age bracket, the whippersnappers mid 40's to mid 50's the old fogies everybody else.
Oh and I was Raleigh Grifter boy, no Mr Men stickers though.

Tickle only 25% then you have a list of possible like riki saki and benson plus the manure one but I only rate these at 5%. Oh and gallagher is a possible but only 33%. I do believe there will be a surprise one signed. Bit surprised that not many strikers being named. Time to take a chance on a division one striker.

That’s exactly what I thought. Especially after signing Tyler Roberts on a 4 year deal.
