Thursday deadline.

I am becoming nervous over the transfer dealings at this point. I have the feeling that Venkys will revert to their no investment ways. Need at least 3-4 new first team players.

I have discussed it with ?Kammy and one of the mods via Private Message.

Oh, those reliable sources. You should have said. If anyone's going to break a transfer story about Rovers it's going be Kamy and the mods.

Why would you prefer a loan winger with very underwhelming stats throughout his various loan spells, over someone who has a track record of assists and goals?

"I would prefer Kent to Maddison if we could sign only 1. Nixon has linked us twice to him and some other reporter aswell" - Nixon talks shite so id ignore that for now. But I dont get the quote "if we could only sign 1." Why the random limit, why does it have to be only 1?

As said previously, we dont want players who CAN play there, we want players who DO play there. 

Was thinking of this team on the opening day. They can all do a job in the positions ive put them in and have played them at times in the past so should be fine:

Raya

Bennett Nyambe Williams Davenport

Whittingham Dack Travis Rothwell Bell

Samuel

 

No place for Mulgrew, Lenihan and Graham? Nyambe at Centre back? Are you on the wind up?

Think his post was referring to what our team would look like if we used players in the positions which they can play rather than there actual natural positions. Don't think it was a serious post to what our starting 11 should be. That's how I read it anyway

You seem a very angry little person. Who suffers from a distinct inability to treat anybody with any kind of respect. Not worth debating with.

So by ‘live’ you mean on tv and a highlights show??? (Apart from the couple of times we played them).

Pretty sure you disregard the opinions of people who haven’t been at games but have said they’ve seen the highlights so guessing you’re happy for your comments to be disregarded in the same way.

Yes and he was injured when we played them at Ewood, so not much to go off. If you watch his YouTube videos he has a wand of a left foot.

well most of the times I'm watching my team play live so not going to see them live every game am I?

Not at all. I'm being the grown up in this exchange. I don't want to argue with someone who is clearly on here to pick a fight.

Have a nice day! ?

Bit of TM on Chapman here when I asked if he was one Rovers we’re exploring: https://t.co/Qy3yuYID2G

I hope we sign Chapman soon

So has Whittingham, allegedly.

[neophox]

if Whittingham stays I hope he really puts in a shift. Last season he was more like an old Murphy!

[neophox]

Maybe Whittingham could Do a job at left back?

He's got no pace and when did you last see him tackle an opponent ?

See chapman is being mooted as a loan deal, if that’s the case I’d rather make a signing rather than a loan. Don’t see what advantage we get from a loan player doing well for us other than possibly a few extra points but wages used, no resale value and stopping one of our own development makes it a no from me despite me liking chapman.

A loan with a view could make all kinds of sense when you consider his injury problems. Let him prove he has put his injuries behind him before devoting a full term contract.

If it is a season long loan it would be good as he is in his last year of his contract and would be a free agent at the end of the loan. Fee to pay though because of his age. I can understand Mowbray being cautious with him after such a very bad injury. Good idea not to risk a fee to buy him until he has proven himself fit.

We hold all the cards with Chapman tbh.

He has a year left on his contract, Boro are obviously not sure whether to offer him another one. There would be little point for them sending him on loan to us for a season as he would just walk for free in a years time.

It is probably us that would prefer a loan but I just do not see Boro doing it as it makes no sense to them. They will want a fee now so if thats the case...give them a nominal take it or leave it figure. Lower financial risk for us.

The kid obviously loved it here and forged some great relationships - so I would imagine its how much TM wants it rather than the player.

It's wether we want to risk signing a player who's just had a serious injury which was one of a series of similar injuries. For me it's a loan or we look elsewhere.
