Very happy with the Mowatt signing.

Initially I said it seemed like a good deal as he was captain of a Barnsley side who did really well last year, was the right age, seemed to be getting better, scored goals etc.

But my knowledge of his game was limited to what I'd seen of him vs us the year before last.

But after watching some clips of him, I've even happier. His pressing and turning over of possession is excellent, likes a tackle and can play as well. Looks like he will provide the legs that we really need to add to the middle of the park. If only we could sign Yokuslu on a loan to permanent based on promotion, they could be a great partnership. Still, assume the doors are closed on that one. But one can dream...

Not so overly enamoured with the Awoniyi link, because I thought he looked like a big lummox in the Union Berlin games I'd watched. Only seen him a handful of times, so hopefully I'm wrong, but he didn't look like he could play. We already have Zohore in that mould. I'd prefer Daryl Dike who was at Barnsley last season of the 2 linked. But we'll wait and see.

But Mowatt is definitely a good start to proceedings. A defensive midfielder, full backs and striker required.

I still hope we can acquire them with the funds from selling Johnstone and keep Pereira. But looks ominous on that front after the news of us trying to sell to China.
