Anyway, bring on the close of the window so we can moan about the next Mowbray winless streak I say!

I'm sure the January transfer window thread will be up n running by Saturday...

Let's just get this Douglas over the line, and then we can all be happy

Can I ask why?

What area/s do you think they're far better than us?

Defence, scoring goals, midfield, manager, experience? 

Based on last season, they were superior in all areas!!!

True but they have lost their best two players and the source of most of their goals and assists

Please can you stop trying to provoke people into a reaction?
You’ve said this about five times and it’s getting a bit boring. Imagine the fans of a club selling their two best players and being angry that they’ve replaced them with two inferior players. Almost like our fans are unreasonable and that’s a quality exclusive to our fan base....

How is that provoking a reaction? I’m making a point...it’s valid. Lots of people Very accepting of it and others (maybe yourself) taking it personally and that’s their / your problem.

The point still stands. It started as a light hearted joke...was rounded on by people who love to hammer the club and accepted by others. It’s no more provoking than lots of the stuff on here and seeing as the thread had moved on by at least a page or two then why have you brought it up again publicly? Maybe hoping for a few snide ‘likes’...sound ??

Whenever I've seen Bannon he's stood out as a class player, admittedly in the Championship. If we sold Holtby and bought Bannon I would not be going nuclear.

I darent go back to my original point (which did not suggest that this place would go nuclear if we swapped Holtby for Bannan)

I don’t understand why it had to be brought up so many times. The fans of any club would be fuming if their best players were sold and replaced with inferior ones. We are hardly unique in that regard. 

As for the timing, well, I was working until after 7, then played football from 8-9, so I only managed to catch up just now....
Could not care less about ‘snide’ likes, or any other kind of likes in reality.

Well that's true, I'm just using your own terminology to opine that I think Bannon is a really good player.

I happen to think if brentford replace watkins and benharma with bannan and toney they will be weaker

[G Somerset Rover]

Why is everyone on here talking about Barry Bannan?

Bannan would not be the Benrahma replacement, they signed a winger called Ghoddos who had been playing in Ligue 1. Paul Mani's implication that Bannan was part of the replacement for those 2 was inaccurate.

Thought we'd already signed a keeper for cover?

[roversfan99]

Would make zero sense really unless the Greek isnt a first team keeper.

If we have any money after Douglas we could spend it elsewhere.

Bizarre signing if true. I thought we’d filled the back-up option with the signing of Stergiakis. Maybe Fisher along with Hilton or Eastham go out on loan with Stergiakis playing for the U23’s?

We have keepers dropping out of our arse now, especially young back-up ones. Has to be a load of bollocks.

He must mean Mowbray has gone to buy some pears in Middlesbrough from his favourite market. And that he hogs the covers from Mrs M at night.

Nicko must have been on the Buckfast.

I bet he's another benrhama type too.  Them lads have a proper European Scouting Network.

Probably didnt see we signed a goalkeeper the other week 

Would be ridiculous if this is true

[islander200]

I'd move Evans on if any interest.Sick of him always being fit for international duty but hardly ever for us.

[JacknOry]

How many keepers do we need? Gone from one extreme to the other now lol. None on the books to about 15

Douglas in, Downing too if reasonable as he can be the utility player that Bennett isn't. 

 

[philipl]

The club have already said the plan is for Fisher to go on loan and Eastwood to be the under 23 keeper.

Nixon probably stirring the pot to drive interest in a transfer somewhere else or perhaps simply running late not having noticed the Rovers signing.

Pears was always going to cost a transfer fee from everything I read.

Surely this is bollocks. And if any more proof was needed that nicko talks a lot of the aforementioned, this is it.

It has to be, Pears will require a fee and we will surely not pay for a backup keeper this late in the window when we already got one. Would make no sense.
