told there's nothing in it.

Re Gallagher - pity.  Would have driven him myself.

Amen. Lockdown or no lockdown I’d have made my way up there and packed his bags for him. If anyone comes in with anything remotely acceptable, the club should snap their hands off.

IF this is going to happen, Trybull will have to be sent back to Norwich.

If this is going to happen, Mowbray will have to be sent PACKING - doesn't he know we are a sandwich short of a picnic AT THE BACK....

It is either shockingly stupid journalism, some no-note on a wind up, or more evidence that TM has his head up his arse. *(could be all three, I suppose).

Was hoping it was Joe Bryan.  Another middle of the road midfielder looks like. Probably a step up from Bucko, Davenport,  Trybull and Downing though🙄

[Bigdoggsteel]

The fact he has played so few games is a massive concern. How could he be expected to come into the Championship now? Good player , but I would imagine it's fake news

You'd then expect the Kipre loan to actually be a permanent transfer right?

Fake news 

Ain’t it funny the local press talking about unnamed clubs on both occasions bidding for two of our sellable assets. Almost as if it’s on purpose and rovers trying to drum up a sale this window.

Who was the other one? Gallagher and Arma?

[Bigdoggsteel]

Just reading there 2 goals in his last 9 games for Armstrong. Bit of a drought, whatever way it's spun. Sunday be perfect to get back amongst them. Proper Boro defence.

Let’s hope he doesn’t repeat his bizarre performance from our last Sky game...

[MarkBRFC]

Game on Sky, could be a last ditch attempt from him to get his prem move in this window so I expect to see him shooting on sight at every opportunity and hoping a couple fly in.

If a couple fly in, I will be happy enough.

Interesting to see so many players out of contract in the summer. I would personally offer the following new deals:

- Nyambe, Rothwell, Johnson, Holtby, Rankin-Costello. 

I would release:

- Bell, Williams, Evans, Downing, Mulgrew, Bennet

In terms of loan signings, Elliot is obviously incredible but no chance of him coming back for another year. Braithwaite is good too but he'll be in and around the Everton squad next year so that's unrealistic. Trybull is not good enough, Douglas has been poor but I'd be tempted to buy him on a cheap deal as back up. I think there's more to come from him.

I agree with all that but unfortunately I can see us keeping Bell and Williams due to having limited amount of defenders and letting them go would demand new fees for new players.

I also can't see him letting Evans go as he is a full international and would look towards getting a fee for him.

I'd agree with all the released. Nyambe and Rothwell I would keep. The other 3 have question marks for me. Johnson I fear his legs will be/have gone. The other 2 I like but maybe too injury prone

Evans must be on big wages, same goes for Williams. Both are decent players when they're fully fit but the problem is they're never fully fit. Both need a retirement home.

Agreed, it would take Tony about 4 years to replace them. Defenders are coming 2025.

I think I largely agree with this. I don't mind Bell being kept as a back up as long as we go out and sign a genuine starting LB. I wouldn't be bothered about Douglas; probably on a decent wage, hasn't shown anything & he's getting on a bit for that position. 

I'd keep Williams as he's looked good at CB when he's been fit and I doubt he's on a lot. The others can go.

Williams won't be signing a new deal here he wanted out in the summer 

[roversfan99]

Mowbray has always struggled to be ruthless when the time comes for summer renewals. Remember when Conway got offered a new deal, when Bennett, Evans, Smallwood, Williams and Mulgrew got new lengthy deals as rewards, when Gladwin got a pity contract, when Smallwood, Hart and Samuel got offered a few weeks extension again for no reason but pity, and the hapless Bell got an extension again last summer. He doesnt have it in him to be ruthless. Williams, Bell, Downing, Bennett and Evans have to be released no question, and Johnson and Holtby still have work to do.
