I was in fact going to point that out myself... Mous is a well educated man and as you say just quoting DB...he may not have got a way with such a comment on social media otherwise.
Not sure about the nickname 'Mous' though. Nicknames are bad.....names. It's pronounced 'Moose' though which is rather obvious and reasonable shortening.

At last someone recognises that.. Funny cos Darryl didn't say in his notes today that we had spent the money on wages instead. He said that we didn't spend it because of the inflated market and that the money is still there for pep in future windows You wouldn't believe DE anyway.

Well I would if they came out and said sensible things like this in the first place. Releasing statements like I think we have enough and are not looking to bring anymore in when u have just taken in nearly £3m is going to get questioned. 😉

Eales' stance has always been the same has it not? That funds are available if Pep wants them. Pep seems the manager who want pay over the odds for a player though.

It was, that wasn't my point, it was that a message coming from the club (whoever says it) that we're done, when there was holes in the squad and millions in the bank is going to get questioned. Not by me I'd like to point out, I said I thought we're were a striker away from a decent squad. And we've now added one. Just pointing out that Darryls notes yesterday make a lot of sense and if that had been the message in the run up to the deadline, then I think a lot more fans would have been more comfortable with the signings that we did make . But as I was pointing out to junior, Darryl fans have been slating anyone who did question why we weren't spending by saying the reason is we have spent loads more on wages instead. That isn't the reason as confirmed by Darryl yesterday. As if there is still a war chest for pep to spend in the next window, there must also be still room in the budget to pay those players 😉

We will likely have £000,000s though.

Well it kind of has to be linked doesn't it? You can't spend £xxx to buy a player if u don't have any room in the budget to pay him. We could move a couple out like hemmings or martin on permanent deals. To make way, but they are not likely to be on much in the grand scheme of things

We will likely have £000,000s though. Dunno, if we did pay £400-650k for Johno then similar players are going to be costly. That would be my only worry, if we can't compete at the right price in this market, it's pretty I like that prices are going to go down in future windows, they are only going one way. I'd be more inclined to go along with what faz said. Stick with what we've done this season for a couple of years bringing in older foreign players, and those from the champ like Williamson who are considered a injury risk to bridge the gap, and then use the transfer money we have received to invest heavily in our own academy improving the quality and quantity of youth coming through, which then means we don't have to outlay big transfer fees in the future.

Burton fans definitely not happy (read comments): I particularly liked this exchange: That's my brother, rarely loses arguments does my brother.

Really like the look of him. I'd imagine he will probably serve as first choice right back unless Nelson or Williamson is unavailable from the looks of it. Add in the ability to play defensive mid if need be and it looks as though he's a fine utility man.

Mousinho was a ray of light in a shambolic defensive team display tonight. When the shit hit the fan he stepped up. Really composed and always wanted the ball, which helped us sustain possession in the second half. Obviously it didn't turn the game around, but it certainly calmed the situation down and prevented it getting worse.

I was recognising what he was trying to better the situation, or at least, lessen the damage, but I'm prepared to be corrected if I've forgotten a few obvious cock ups that he made.

The marking at corners for the 1st goal and the preceding corners where he was no where near any of the threats. Leaving either James Henry or Ricardinho to mark 2 tall players at the back post on his side was ridiculous. He got wound up by their forward which wasn't bright. Nearly got caught on the ball a couple of times as well. His distribution wasn't great either. Don't get me wrong I think he is a decent player, just poor tonight.
