JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Loan with a view for the Ass guy would be a great bit of business...we stump up a big portion of wages and if he fired us up, we buy him.  If not, back to Boro and we unleash Brereton?

[FGS5635]

Chapman cant get a game at boro becasue BA is playing wide. Thinks sod this, Im going to rovers. Picks up the paper tommorrow  and.......aaarrrggghh

Madon, who are you? Reveal your true identity... You make Santa look shit!!! 

[JeffRover]

Thank God Shelfy isn’t in charge of the Fax machine.

[Gone to seed]

No smoke without fire, and Madon is certainly one of the most reliable and genuine posters on here. If we can get a strong, ball holding, goal getting centre forward, and it doesn't mean a complete re-write of what TM has engineered so far, then definitely go for it. Liking the cut of this Rovers' gib, to be honest. Evolution, not revolution. Tasty.

Good god, I thought he was closer to 30! Evening else stands, but no, he isn't aging. He's just been playing for what seems like forever.

Crikey, I didn’t think anyone would be disappointed with this (fanciful) rumour.

You’re just mischief making.

 

 

I love it. Please continue.

[Guest]

Don’t think there’s a chance on this earth of that. Surely a wind up knowing everyone would believe you madon.

I promise its not, unless the source is on a wind up knowing I'd put it on here!

[RovingRover]

Scott Dann might be joining Fulham from Crystal Palace.

Wonder if we have a sell-on clause?

PS, if none of these come off I'm going into hiding for 20 years.  Please don't shoot the messenger?

You can hide. But I will find you. And I will kill you.

Good little social experiment. People already asking Nixon on Twitter!

Start a Derek Williams to Man City £50m rumour.

Well that'd be a turn up! Balaji getting twitchy, can smell the play offs. Would certainly put us in a strong position to give it a good go. Gonna put my negative hat on and say it won't happen though, you've certainly brought this thread to life though buddy. 

[K-Hod]

As much as I’d be into us signing Assombalonga, it seems unrealistic financially, but I hope it isn’t! 

As an aside though, Pulis is playing Jordan Hugill instead of him. He must have lost his mind!

The loss we took on him, you'd think so.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Balaji’s gonna bankroll us straight through to the premier?

Yeah but look at who was doing the ins and outs at the time.

Pulis gonna Pulis.

I don’t see why these kind of deals would be out of the question, loans with a view to buy if we went up.

Nice to daydream anyway!

[philipl]

A loan arrangement makes sense for both clubs given who Boro are supposedly chasing this window. 

 

Following the game v Hull, I will be ok if BA signifies Bugger All...

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

I wonder if we are simply starting to play by the same rules as Derby, Boro, Forest etc.  Over the 3 year ffp cycle, spend £30-£40 million.  Making sure that you sell an asset every couple of years to balance the books.  It's a great ploy if you have that asset sat on your books - which we do in Dack. We basically get to buy players for 4 windows, then sell Dack.  If enough of the incomings are a success, you repeat the process - strengthening your chance of promotion. 

Asambalonga could be the example that TM talked about when discussing buying from rivals and having to pay over the odds and not seeing that back financially. 

I still think, Chapman aside, that we won't buy anyone straight this window.  Any 'big' incomings will be a loan with a view.

I'm 98% BA won't be joining Rovers. Would be fantastic but very very doubtful, the lad is earning £40,000+ at Boro
