I wouldn't say no to Big Bum Barry being signed for a couple of years.

I think he would.

Don't think the Blackburn players can understand mr mumbles for him to coach anything out of them

I was surprised Downing ended up back at Boro so soon after having actually had his best season in a while at West Ham. At Barry's age I'd love it if he could be tempted to take the drop to lead us up. He probably won't.

If we get Moyes it would help our cause. In addition I think Leon Osman would be a good signing.

Anyone tempted by The Scottish Messi returning?? Finally fulfilling his potential at Wednesday. They love him there apparently. They're doing quite well but maybe he'll be tempted to come back if we put a good offer in. I think he's a class act at that level.

There is a Northern Irish Full Back @ Fleetwood who is worth a look at

It was never about his ability. It was 100% to do with his attitude. We saw flashes or glimpses of it and thought we might have had something special but he often managed to let himself down. I'm glad he's found a spot to develop and possibly mature. Young Jack needs to put his head down and avoid missing out on opportunities like Barry Bannan. It would be a huge shame if he had to bounce between clubs and lose several good playing years before realizing what he has.

Hopefully for Bannan's sake he's finally knuckled down. He seems to at least have found consistency. Very talented player.
Next season is going to be key for Grealish. He can't start getting silly and pushing for a move. A year in the championship, playing every week, out of the limelight will do him good.

I saw Bannan at The Cheltenham Gold Cup on the Friday. He was with his mates. Couldn't confirm if he was drinking.

As long as he wasn't throwing his piss around he's alright.

Off the pitch he didn't do himself any favours, but I thought Bannan was a decent player and didn't deserve the over the top stick he got when he was here.

Caveat. This was back in the halcyon days when we only had very low expectations. Things have unraveled rapidly since then.

I like Dominic Iorfa the Wolves defender , represented England Under-18 , Under-20 & the Under-21 level.  Looks like a very good prospect, pacy , big, strong & versatile.   Realistically, though,  he will probably be snapped up by a Premier Club at seasons end......Godzvilla!
