I did say seriously!!!

Will this lad from GIb be in the 18 on Saturday ?!

I keep reading we may end up in a sticky spot if we don't pull off any signings. I'd say the opposite.  

Sorry Merce, no idea why it quoted you but to be fair I can't believe we've signed a lad from a pub that's been shut for over 10 years.

Or Vincent Jannsen 

I'd prefer his cousin, Matt

I may have missed it in all the excitement ?

 

but as it doesn’t matter now, who was our number 1 target? Gallagher?

I don't come on the Board often these days, but old habits die hard on Transfer deadline day.

Seeing that we seem unlikely to recruit anyone between now & 11.00 tonight,  I  thought I'd ask a question not directly connected with this window but may have an impact on all future ones.

Does anyone on here know - not, 'is prepared to speculate' but actually know - if Brexit will affect our ability to recruit players from Europe? Will we only be able to sign European players of a certain standard? Will we only be able to sign players who aren't EU-nationals? It could be important for our beefed-up Scouting Department.

Mind you, given that most sectors of British industry seem to be complaining that the Government is leaving It extremely late to issue guidance on how Brexit will affect them, perhaps not even the Government knows.

No replies I suppose because (your bold) no one KNOWS. The government doesn’t even know.

However, building a British based squad and recruitment network would look like a very sound choice to me.

Should we be clinging onto any hopes with this Jannsen rumour?

Tinpot. We spend £6m on subs for the U23's. 

Sub for the Under 23s, c’mon man be fair.

He can’t even get on their bench!

Surely out of our league. Google says Schalke were interested.

I'm happy we got a proper winger in Chapman.

I'm less happy we failed to sign a striker or left back.

No idea what the scouting team do all year.

If Schalke who are in the last 16 of the Champions League can't afford him how on earth would we.

I still think even an 15 goal striker from League one would Do okay in Championship! Time to get one in!

Henderson at Rochdale's got that many in a bad team.

[callumrovers]

I would imagine Tottenham will pay half. I'm not sure what went wrong with the Schalke deal. Just something I have heard.

No mate, everyone has gone home.

Yeah sorry, he collects the subs from Mill Hill U23s is what I meant.

So, a bi-typical transfer DEADline day for Rovers.

I don't like the fact they have gone home... very naive to just leave... imagine in an hour if Middlesborough were to call and say "on second thoughts, go one then, £20kpw and you can have Assombalonga afterall, we need the wages for our own incoming".

... But all they can reach is the fax machine. 

Surely they stay till 11pm regardless.

[Stuart]

What a crap window. 11pm deadline, out of the running at 7:30pm.

Question marks over every signing:

Harrison Chapman - Injury prone and not fit to play this season

Ben Brereton - Inability-prone and not fit to get on the pitch ahead of Craig Conway

Brad Lyons - Brad Loans

Louie Annesley - A tall child. From Gibraltar. A country that ranks behind Guam.

We are 3 points off the play-offs with over a third of the season left but no, we’d rather start off at zero points in 2019/20 and give it a right good go once Brezza comes good. Well, maybe 2020/21.

Meanwhile the LT try to talk up Joe Nuttall as the striker of the window. (The same window that we paid up to £7m for a spare one).

At least our scouts won’t need to take February off and office staff can have an early night before it gets too icy in the roads - once they’ve put the spare fax machine cartridge back in the safe.

Happy we did not got Austin..

Yes because not getting a 20 goal a season striker is something to be jumping for joy over.

[neophox]

We cant rely on Nuttall.
