I think Rovers can do a lot worse than play their cards close to their chest. It's no good shouting about how much we have to spend or we'll be held to ransom. The only people who need to know the budget are the board and the management team.

I think we'll get a couple of loanees in January, hopefully a proven striker as one of them, and the situation will be reviewed at the end of the season.

I agree that rovers shouldn't make public how much money we got to spend. Hopefully enough to sign Osvaldo with Roberts or Benjani leaving then a playmaker maybe O'Neil from Boro but prefer us to sign better quality player than him tho. But it comes down to how many is available to spend.

Charlie Nicolas said on sky this morning that kentaro and sen are going for meetings at Ewood Park this week,to see what funds are available for transfers. So we may here something about that.

Osvaldo is a good player and would give us a different option up front. A creative player in midfield would be a good bit of business too. One player who I would absolutely love is Bosnian play maker Zvjezdan Misimović. He moved to Galatasary in the summer from Wolfsburg, but has had a falling out with the coach and has been placed in the reserves. The guy is genius and would make us so much better.

So they will be telling Big Sam about the players on their books and who is available? I wouldn't be surprise if they push Rovers to sign Axel Witsel from Standard Leige. He sign with SEM in the summer. I hope that Big Sam will have final say on transfers and not Jerome Anderson!!!

Witsel would cost a kings ransom mate.

Would love Ireland in the side and it could be very doable, good replacement for Dunny IMO

I don't know about that. I realize beggars can't be choosers, but between Ireland's shenanigans with his national team, his general view on football and his apparent failure to adapt outside of City I'd say he's a very risky buy.

Surely worth a sniff at that price ?

Manager David Moyes wanted to take Kranjcar on loan in January because Tottenham’s £3million asking price for the Croatian international is beyond his club’s means.

I wouldn't count him out just yet, he only recently signed for Villa. Some players take longer than others to adapt, look at Bentley for example - didn't light the world on fire during his loan spell for Norwich, nor during his initial loan for us. I think Ireland would be an excellent addition to our midfield but his fee and wages are probably pretty ridiculous so realistically we'll be looking elsewhere.

Kranjcar at 3 million would be a steal. Someone call Sam.

Ireland may be troubled but Sam supposedly does well with that sort of player. Look at what he's managed with EHD. And at 24, Ireland would be potentially an excellent long term investment.

Depending on what his wages are, I agree with you.

Apparently Owen Hargreaves is being free-transferred in January - if anyone is worth a gamble on a pay-as-you-play deal, it's surely him.

When/if fit, exactly what we've been missing in the middle of the park...

Not impressed one bit with Cruz coming back he can simply go and GTF for me.

Rovers should never look backwards but always forwards.
