I’m new on here so just wondering what an 11 o’clocker is?

A journo Alan Nixon used to post on here years ago. Giving out the tiniest tidbits of information followed by "more in tomorrow's paper" which whipped people up into such a frenzy. The term nickoteen was even created.

 Anyway he used to post at about 11pm as the papers were already being printed at that time which coined the phrase 11 o'clocker.

Austin, assombalonga. Have I woke up in the 90s. Who next. This really could be the best or most disappointing transfer window of all time. I'd love either. Both cracking players

[JeffRover]

Why does this happen to us every window? The first 95% of it is always as slow as a snail and then in the final few days we get linked with some potentially very decent signings. Then we all feel like children who’ve had their last Christmas Dairy Milk snatched out of their hands when it doesn’t materialise! Let’s hope this window is the exception. An interesting (as usual) 48 hours awaits.

He would be a brillant signing

Having spent quite some time recently with a colleague who is a Forest fan and who has good connections with the club, my understanding is that Forest are absolutely delighted with the deal.  If my understanding is correct then I think you would be surprised at just how costly this deal is for Rovers. 

Shit post that is designed to make people think you are ITK.  With not one fact to back any of your anti-rovers statement. Oooh look at me, I know more than you....when you probably dont 

[JeffRover]

Wouldn’t Austin going to Cardiff on a permanent deal make sense after what has tragically happened to Emiliano Sala over the past week?

You can think what you like.

My post was merely in response to 1864roverite's post and other subsequent posts on the subject of the Brereton deal.

My understanding of the deal is not from the Rovers' end and I would back its likely credibility against anything that the LT has published on the deal or anything posted on this MB about the deal.

I see sky sports have now linked us to ba using the exact same wording as they did when they linked him to Bristol City , odd 

[TugaysMarlboro]

I'll take any of the 3 mentioned. It's clear we need another striker in the ilk of Graham.

I'll be vastly disappointed if we end up with no-one. That's my only concern with this window. We have previous.

[Ossydave]

Hell fire its a Sun story, which in all honesty makes it less likely than if we hadn't been linked at all. 

Burnley are allegedly in for Austin too. It would be absolutely hilarious if we got him, but I can't see anything whatsoever in that story. 

[JacknOry]

Just happy that we're seemingly in for a good striker. We do seem to be going down the alphabetical route again with our list - BA, now CA, anyone know a DA?

You dont think assombalonga is realistic yet you would be all over adams and austin? Whats the difference in wages?

Chaddy logic. 

Doubt Che Adams is on much though but Austin is surely on more than Assombolonga.

#Rovers will wait until the summer to move for Harrison Reed after initial enquiry, as loanee wants a crack at making the grade with Southampton https://t.co/WsRAjSzMiw

For those wanting an ‘actual source’ for our assombalonga interest... 

Madon spot on again it seems.

Skysports lost any credibility years ago tbh, they usually just pick up on tit bits on forums, twitter and newspapers.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘sky sources’ are actually Madon and that Boro forum ITK.

[tomphil]

Sky Sports 'sauce' are usually less credible than Nixon, he fills tiny columns they have to fill tv 24/7  zzzzzzzzzzz

[ChrisPriceBaldSpot]

MADON is there anything in the Austin rumour? 

[Madon]

Not heard anything about Austin TBH. I'm still putting all my eggs firmly in the Assombalonga basket. 

[Ricky]

I would be happy with any of the three. I thought Gallagher was decent last time he was here but some people who watched him more weren’t so impressed. Out of the three linked I have to say Austin would be my preferred option. Would fit straight into our system and take the pressure off Danny Graham.

Is it Possible that Waggots  trip to the north east hasn't been as successful as he'd hoped and moving on to the next on the list ? Hence the Austin link ??
