From some comments I seem to recall, some appear unwilling to give him any credit for his handling of the young players. 1 Quote

Mowbray seemingly doesn't see the urgency. Edit: "Warlock" Lol. Bloody predictive text. Maybe that's how he gets them in. Warnock has been there 5 minutes. Mowbray has had 5 windows. 3 Quote

He didnt stand out but he very much is now. Quote

Big IFS though. Told today that this is the plan, both being worked on. Optimistic. Ayala deal didn't happen originally because Waggott and Mowbray think that if a player/agent tries to negotiate during contract "negotiations", then they have a bad attitude and get blue balled. (*Agent was also originally asking daft money/bonuses*) Rovers are being very "take it or leave it" with contracts apparently this past couple of years... hence the amount of "near misses" we have experienced (Bauer, Reed, McGinn, Kipre etc). ? 4 Quote

Yes IMO. When he signed here it would have normal transfer window if it wasnt for this virus. Quote

Lenihan will miss 25% of games probably through injury/suspension. We've got one. Wharton. Need to get the first choice CB and LB in first before we start worrying about back ups! 2 Quote

I find it hard to believe they do that with everybody given some of the signings in recent years. Looks like it might be reserved for defenders and keepers. Quote
Popular Post Blue blood Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Posted September 14, 2020 Transfer update 14/9/20: TM only has 17 players to work with for the game Vs the Barcodes but is relaxed about it. Presumably another 6 need to drop out before we consider this an issue. Swaggot comes up.with a new tasty marketing campaign to entice new players to the club "if you can't get a better offer elsewhere we'll have you." One descerning fan states that Rovers fans may be less critical of TM and Rovers in the circumstances had previous transfer windows not been ballsed up. Given we haven't signed a player in a January transfer window since 1066 and TMs "defenders are coming" speech omitted "but they will be late to the party and bog off after one season" there's plenty of evidence to suggest this theory has legs. However other Rovers fans desperate for signings look to ensure the bar doesnt have to leave the ground. Comparisons with struggling Boro are made (despite them signing more players than us.) The plan is apparently Cunningham and Ayala. Thank goodness for that European scouting network enabling us to come up with this. Meanwhile Chaddy continues to reinterpret what he has posted, our third game is rapidly approaching and of course... ... we still haven't signed any more players! 16 Quote
