Keanes transfer window was big mind. We got a few champions league players and Kavanagh who was one of the highest performing midfielders for progressive passing in the premier league the previous season as well as Connolly who was the go to ‘too good for championship not good enough for prem’ 20 goal a season striker at the time for clubs wanting promotion.

As a side note im still bitter about Keanes treatment of Hysen haha, proper annoyed me at the time.
Connolly only scored 20 goals in a league season twice in his career.
 
Scott Parker - right age and experience!
I'd agree on paper however:

- We can't afford him
- Not worked (or therefore presumably lived) outside of London and the South east in 15 years (since he played for the mags). Clearly doesn't want to up roots himself or move his family.

Surprised at the low number of votes for Keane. That said, I can see why he might be seen as Yesterday's man and I've a slight misgivings in that he was in a bad place when he left us in 2008.
 
Wow! I'm seriously surprised at the amount of votes Mowbray has received considering 99% of the comments on him have been very negative 🤔

Didn't he leave the mags cos he wanted to return to London?
 
Aye but you know what I mean. He was the Jordan Rhodes type of that era. Tommy Smith inall he was guaranteed championship goals who we had under McCarthy. Struggling for a contemporary example tbh hopefully Ross Stewart.
Tommy Smith wasn't a CF really, he was a wide player or support striker. Never scored more than 11 goals in any season in his career.
Although he didn't always start, and did have a tendency to grab important goals.
 
He joined Friday night. Has been championing Mowbray. He's a mag mate.

Edit: this could be rat boy Alex
Sorry pal but I ain't no mag and I haven't been championing Mowbray.
I'm just trying to be positive with the situation.

Just a thought, If we bring these 2 lads in from France could we be looking abroad for our next gaffer?
