Re: Four years ago today - at Ewood

Re: Is 7th still a realistic possibility?
Does 7th get us into the Europa League ? Or does it depend on who wins the FA Cup (IE if a top 4 team wins the FA Cup, then there'd be an extra Europa League place)

Re: Southgate looks to Tarkowsky
Yes I think there can be little doubt he and Defour are our most important players, especially given the fact that we were less impaired in our results when Mee was missing than when Tarks was out. The only danger is whether Tarks playing for England immediately results in him ‘outgrowing’ the club ...

Re: Man United under Mourinho
McTominay looks a good prospect to be fair, but I can’t see a lot of evidence that Mourinho really improves players when you look at this team. Pogba’s demise and rashford’s disappearance cases in point. That said if they don’t lose it’s a fine result, which I guess it what Mourinho does.

I agree with Kate. We have cover for every position and unless anyone leaves I’d expect us to not sign anyone.
Mike Garlick only promised to end the transfer window with a stronger squad than we started it. And this looks set to be achieved with two decent and potentially exciting acquisitions.
