Loan Window

[JacknOry]

From 7 mil to now 15 mil? Found some loose change down the sofa did they? 

Give it an hour and it will be 20+ which would then make me nervous. This would deflate everyone selling him now. 

Most of us know he will be off in the next year or two given his performances - but our first season back in the Championship is not the time to do it. We might even surprise everyone and end up in the playoffs.

Realistically though, we couldn't turn £20 million down, could we? 

[Lancaster Rover]

If they'll pay 20 million now they will pay it in January when we could at least find a replacement or several. No matter the offer it's senseless to sell now when we have zero chance of getting cover in until January.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a couple more came in and a couple went out before the deadline. Surely Whittingham will follow Caddis in leaving by mutual consent. Perhaps loans for Fisher and Nuttal if we can get a couple in. 

I reckon we may pull off the chapman deal. 

I think Whittingham and Gladwin will be released from their contracts today. With Fisher going out on loan if we can signed a keeper. Lancashire Telegraph reported today that Nuttall will have to wait until January. So maybe Mowbray has a eye on a player but maybe he injured until October or November time.

15m bid rejected for Dack. From a proven Rovers source.

Seen that on Twitter and Kamy has posted it aswell., 

Their bid isn't enough and typical of clubs like them who wait till the last minute/day before bidding for players

Would be a big ask to turn that kinda money down.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

He's going nowhere. I have faith in Tony to explain to Madame et al that £20m is 1/10th of what 1 Yr in the Prem is worth which we will not be getting to without Sir Bradley. And this from a Championship club. Just no.

Very valid point

Yes. Very realistic - just say no.

Don't see how there is time to resolve a deal as big as that would be anyway, unless they've already tapped up his agent.

Venkys could find £20 million down the back of Balaji’s sofa. I think they have the whiff of redemption in Pune, wouldn’t surprise me if we bought someone for £20 million in Jan

20 mil bid isn't enough either. 

not for sale. we don't need to sell and we shouldn't either

I fly at 5pm (GMT+1) and land about 6.15 (GMT) and I'm already a nervous flyer

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

£18  mil plus Olly Burke...and I'll consider it ?

I agree with you on that - no point selling but like I say, we are not the owners.

[JHRover]

Rather than talking figures the best way to approach it is this:

Simply not for sale to a non-Premier League club or Burnley. No amount of money or persistency will overcome that.

If one of the other 19 Premier League clubs wants him then we speak to him, and if he's keen to explore it then we start at £15 million.

Golden rule - you don't sell your best players to clubs in the same league you want to finish above. Keep hold of your best players with interest from rivals and you'll improve and become a big player. Roll over and take the money every time a decent player comes through and you become an also-ran who just exists to make up the numbers and coin it in every few years. We did it with Cairney to Fulham and look how that worked out.

[Bigdoggsteel]

 I think this could actually be a good thing. He has a swagger already. Imagine the swagger he will have knowing teams are bidding £15 million for him...

Just in case, put a pair of fresh ones on now, will taste better

Premier League teams can't make signings, they're not part of the loan window experiment. They can only punt players out.

I reckon this is TM and waggott leaking these stories. Helps them prove their transfer strat of signing young players who increase in value.

Madamme will be sat there in the evil villan chair stroking her cat thinking TM is the man

[tugayislegend]

I think we can't deny dack a move ONLY to a premiership club. We don't need to sell to any championship club even if it's a £20+ million bid.

[gumboots]

Surely Dack is better to wait until January and see what offers come in then. Play well and who knows

THE WINDOW IS SHUT FOR PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS

That's where the money for brereton is coming from. And a nice profit too for Venkys. Jesus, we've only been up.4 games and they are flogging the family jewels again. Lenihan won't last the season. £30m there in them too as the market is...can't miss out on that the greedy feckers 

Absolute crap

Mowbray wouldn't do that at all. The man got more integrity then most people involved in football
