[Archived] Deadline day 2017 (no unrelated chat)

[RoversClitheroe]

Created this thread to talk purely transfers, no chat about boring unrelated stuff. 

Danny Graham linked with QPR - Rovers only accepting 750k.

Blackburn have made a second bid for the Motherwell CB. (Motherwell fans rate him, room to grow)

[RoversClitheroe]

Alex Bruce has left Bury. What's the likelihood of us bringing him in? 

[harryhealless1928]

Lets hope not. Weve enough old stalwarts at the club already though mercifully fewer than under Coyle.. I live in dread of hearing Mowbray repeating the mantra" I value experience!"

Hanging on daddy's coat tails for years. Crap.

Deeper problem in the game in my opinion is the nepotism but for another thread 

[chaddyrovers]

in's

Hanson permanent from Sheff Utd

Motherwell defender signs

out's

Graham to leave

Feeney to leave. 

Mulgrew and Lenihan to stay..

This is my opinion

[Butty]

One thing I won't be doing is watching that Kean loving Jim White on @#/? sport news. For us, if we can bring a defender in and a striker if Graham goes then we're all set to give it a right good go

Think the (planned) 'in' is Heneghan as you say. That suggests one of Lenehan or Mulgrew are off.

Not sure about Hanson. If we lose Graham the replacement will probably be another loan striker. Seems as though Mowbray thinks we can rent goal scorers. Probably because they cost too much to buy.

£750k for Graham is too low for the current market, and suggests we want him off the wage bill. Internet chat is that Rovers have been offering him to clubs rather than the other way around.

[blueboy3333]

The James Hanson rumours were described in the LT as 'wide of the mark' the day after they appeared in the national media. The LT will have got that from the club.

[Sparks Rover]

Venkys out!!

[RoversClitheroe]

We want 2 incomings today.

Expect Feeney and Danny Graham to leave. 

If so then hoping for4 signings today.

Mowbray on potential departures:-

“If it does then it’s because it’s right for the player, it’s right for the club, not standing in anyone’s way if I don’t think they are going to have as much game-time for us as they might hope they would do,” he added.

Sounds like Feeney fits the bill. Possibly Graham if he's not first choice. Certainly doesn't sound like it's going to be Mulgrew or Lenihan. We'll see. @MGPensionercredibility is going to be sorely tested in the coming hours. He'd sold everyone weeks ago.

Spot on. Don't see them leaving. If we keep them it's been our best transfer window.

Just one thing in that Mowbray quote, the first priority should be that it's right for the club. Him saying 'right for the player' first makes me wonder if that's a little slip and one of the outs will actually be someone we would rather keep. My money is on Lenihan.

There you go again. Best this, unreal that......

How on earth has this been our best window. In which reality is this the case, Sulhail???

[Kamy100]

IF a clubs match whatever valuations Venky's have for Mulgrew and Lenihan than both will be sold, regardless of Mowbray's wishes.  While it is true that he has almost total control of the footballing side of things the finance side of the club will always take precedence and Venly's will authoise a sale of any player is their valuation is met.  That said Venky's valuations do tend to be on the high side.

'Right for the player' could relate to anything. It's one way of saying that the player wants regular game time. It's also one way of saying that the player is in demand, and therefore wants the highest wage possible.

[islander200]

Hope we don't sign that youngster from West Brom,we have our own academy.If Tomlinson is not going to be used he should be loaned out

Getting bored mate. Pessimistic or what. Under the venkys in terms of past 3-4 seasons it has.

This has always wound me up. In terms of outgoing transfers Venkys are actually pretty good at what they do (slap me now!!). We've got rid of players for very good fees. Unfortunately, it's what happens next that sticks in the memory. 0 investment back and terrible decisions elsewhere.

It's almost as if they aren't stupid and are perfectly capable of making very good decisions........................when it suits them.

Yeah I'm bored with your over optimism as if alls well.  Enjoy your delusion 

[AllRoverAsia]

There is the usual influx of upbeat transfer window posters, often newbies. It will be interesting to see how long they stick around here.

Meanwhile Cheston & Suhail have been up since the crack of dawn hawking Graham and others around any Club that will pick up the phone.

Cash only deals with payment as late today as possible at WU preferred. Imho.

[Boaty]

I for one hope that graham is offloaded. An absolute carthorse. Be more that happy just to lose his wages any fee is a bonus

Sadly you are right in this assessment. Going to be another squeaky bottom final few hours of the window again.

Why do you even support rovers if you are so negative. Seems pointless to me.

I don't see how it suggests either of those two are off, as Mowbray has said we need another defender regardless. 

Also don't get your comment about renting goal scorers, didn't we sign our top scorer? Also, isn't Nutall a permanent signing? 

I think some people here will be disappointed if today goes well. Actually, no, they will find fault somewhere to save face after all their predictions of a mass exodus not coming to pass
