Suppose they identified the targets as well Where's your evidence there was money? Coming from the mouths of people trying to sell season tickets?

Backroom Mike E Posted August 9, 2018 Backroom Posted August 9, 2018 Wonder how many 'Fee-paid loans-with-a-view-to-buy's there'll be in the next 3 weeks? 1

Tormund Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 A bit disappointing. Then again we still have a good side, just not quite enough depth. One more would have been nice today. Sure we’ll sign a loan in the next few weeks and we’ll be fine.
Backroom DE. Posted August 9, 2018 Backroom Posted August 9, 2018 2 minutes ago, RovingRover said: "Short notice" ? Other than most of June and the entirety of July? OK. I'm not that bothered about us not signing players (I fully expected as much) but I can't help but feel we had a real chance here to put out a statement of intent, and have instead broadcast that we're happy with just surviving with the squad we have. It's an achievable aim if our first eleven stay fit for the majority of the season, particularly Mulgrew, Dack and Graham. I suppose we'll find out in due course whether Tony's faith in our L1 squad is justified. We can always play the loan w/option to buy game, too, but I think the quality of our loan signings will depend on the results we get leading up to the deadline. Millwall (H), Hull (A), Reading (H) and Brentford (H)... if we're aiming for safety this year we're realistically going to want to be winning two of those.
Bepeja43 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 As soon as parachute payments ended, that was it from venkys. They do not care about Rovers.
Doaksie Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Glad I didn't take the day off for this. Last deadline day we got S.Hart, this time it's shart again. All the expectation, and left with a streak of sh1t. Tony wanted 3 or 4 himself. Openly admitted numerous times. Not sure how this isn't disappointing. 1
MarkBRFC Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 I think most of the frustration coming from people on here, is that all we have heard all week in quotes from Mowbray after signing Armstrong is how we are planning to get "a couple" more permanent deals in place before Thursday. Had he said, "we're unlikely to get anymore in now before Thursday, but we'll look at the loan market with a view to permanent deals" then I don't think everyone would be getting as bent out of shape as they are now. 1

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 33 minutes ago, Tugayisgod said: So maybe that will help produce a more attractive style of football, not having to play up to Graham so much. A front 4 of Armstrong, with benno, dack and palmer behind sounds pretty decent to me. Much more mobile Armstrong's first natural movement is away from the ball into space. Graham's is towards the ball to get the ball to feet. That's the difference. Just banging it long won't work with Armstrong.
SBlue Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Would love to see the reaction on here if we sign someone in the next couple of hours, or if we have signed someone earlier in the day.

Bigdoggsteel Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 5 minutes ago, Wing Wizard Windy Miller said: If the club wants to sell and at a good price for the club. Then getting to keep the player for an additional period seem s like good business to me - yes West Ham offer £15 mil for Dack. Club accept. Too late to sign a replacement. Dack offered back to the club on loan basis for a season. Good business? No, because Dacks mind would then be on West ham and not on our long-term goals. We have money, but no time to spend it and ultimately we will need to replace Dack, which we would struggle to do.
JHRover Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Will the club shop be opening early tomorrow to deal with the backlog of the 1000+ extra season tickets being sold?

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 9, 2018 Author Moderation Lead Posted August 9, 2018 For all the people telling others to 'calm down': Next time your partner acts up, tell them to 'calm down' and let me know what happens. If there's an outpouring of anger or violence, I'm not being held responsible..... 2
