Well it was confirmed by James Pearce the guy who covers Liverpool for the Liverpool Echo and a Sky Sports reporter confirmed it too...probably signs tomorrow
Has the guy actually signed or is this wind up ?

I am loving the work Mowbray is doing, I haven't felt this excited and positive about my team since the eighties.
Give Mowbray a four year contract ,NOW. Show him we trust him in the longer term.
oh the dark days under Pressley seems so far ago.
Amen to that rev... Buzzing for every game to come now, and if we do get Kent and that Newcastle winger, we really would hav a competitive team to hit top 6....PUSB
Sisu need to show comittement and offer tm a longer contract before a championship club offer him one
2 factors as to why we are getting some exciting loan signings...
1) TM influence
2) Fantastic start to the season and flying high
We need a mixture of experienced players on frees (Ricketts, Vincelot, Reda), our own young players or gems we can pick up on a free (Maddison, Lameiras), and some young loanee firepower from top clubs (Armstrong, Murphy, Morris, Kent).Can't help but feel that chasing all these so called 'starlets' will be of no use in the long run. They are not going to stay with us. Maybe we would be better off finding more potential gems in the lower divisions that would be glad to move up rather than reluctant to move down.

Yes indeed. We need to have a really good season though. It's certainly looking like it will be, but if it ends up not being a really good campaign it could be harder to attract these kinds of gems next season.A promotion is what we want in the short term as well as the long term.
If we bring players through they will be sold to the highest bidder. And if we had players on a contract that are good enough for this division but not the championship we would be stuck with them if on a contract. So having loans and short term contracts would give TM a blank canvas again. And I like what he did with one this time.
Otis, I think everyone can see TM has more than a plan B. He is trying to get us up this season obviously as is 20 odd managers with their clubs. But in Mowbray we have a man who knows what he wants on the field of play and if he can get a squad of players who believe in him and his philosophy then we are onto a winner. I think if we are promoted or not players, and their parent clubs, are going to want to send their young star over to us.
Yeah, I don't quite buy this 2 year plan. I think TM is looking at this season. It's not a strong division this year and the way he has built the squad and acquired such great loans makes me think TM is targeting at least top 6 this season.
If we can stay reasonably lucky with injuries you have to say we now have a strong squad and should do really, really well and for me it is now only the keeper situation that really needs addressing and is a weakness.
Agree with what you're both saying.
I've defended Burge and wanted him to do well. However, he's a dog turd masquerading as a professional footballer!
Yep, think that's what he means. A 2 year plan, but next season we wouldn't have Armstrong or Morris or Murphy or Kent and would in some ways have to start again.

True. Not sure about you but a year ago I'd never heard of Murphy, Armstrong, Kent or Dominic Samuel from last year. I'm sure there are equally capable youngsters who in a years time will excite us just as much.
Isnt today the day when we hopefully get kent or is it going to be another rumour that never happens ?
Nope, hadn't heard of any of them. Be great though wouldn't it, if we uncover more of our own gems from within our ranks. In particular, Ben Stevenson from what I've seen in footage, looks real class and hopefully a future City first teamer.

I sincerely hope Oggy has been working with him this week and they have been focusing on Burge punching the ball away rather than trying to catch it.
No doubt whatsoever that Scunthorpe will target him and put endless high balls into our box as a deliberate ploy. Any opposition manager would be mad not to.
Punch so that he doesn't just try and catch and flap itWhy would you prefer him to punch? How about just working on taking crosses?
