I can only imagine this way we can get something in the way of a fee (or sell on) that wouldn't have been there last year had he gone to Shrewsbury. I certainly hope so, otherwise it makes absolutely zero sense. 

But if we loan him out, he'll be out of contract again.  Bizzarre.

That’s the end of that one.

Surely also the end of Bournemouth's interest in Obafemi.

[Miller11]

It wouldn’t be surprising if there is no transfer business done by Rovers today.

It also wouldn’t be surprising if we brought in three on loan all in the same position, sold two for peanuts, gave Chapman away, and paid £5 million for a teenager nobody’s ever heard of at 10:59 pm.

Don't worry it will all be cheap loans, leaving us bereft of experience - and a squad in 12 months time. After all why not kick problems down the road. Nayambe & Rothwell look like they won't be staying so it's good to have extra work to do in the future, plus uncertainties about one or two others as well. Remember folks it's all about the journey, the long term, despite every decision being the opposite of that. 

Do they not? I would imagine both will stay. 

I wouldn't actually be against selling Rothwell though if we got a decent bid from a PL team.

With Edun set to be done I really believe all attention should turn to Obafemi

Obafemi coming in on loan with option to buy then?

He is out of contract at the end of the season

No point getting im on loan without something in place to sign him perm after. If he does well, he will go somewhere else.

Last years of their contracts and various people/sources have said neither are working on deals (unlike Lenihen and Bereton.) Add in how Nayambe has been treated as well and I reckon he is definitely off. 

As for the decent bid I agree Rothwell could go - we can't/won't get the best out of him - but only if the money is reinvested in permanent signings. Not sure that would be the case.

How can anyone work at home whilst transfer deadline day is happening. Should just be a national holiday.

Yeah just seen that. Not fussed on this Brighton lad to be honest, but happy to eat my words!

A permanent striker is still an absolute must for me.

Excellent idea.  We're way behind other countries in terms of bank holidays.  Seems a good enough reason to have one.

I'd say a competent holding midfielder is priority.  

[Guest]

Safe to say Connor Mahoney won't be coming back. Replied to a chap on social media laughing about how Tony Mowbray would kick him out if he showed his face at Brockhall.

Not a signing that makes a great deal of sense when we signed the Leeds lad, have Chapman, Dolan and Diaz for the wide positions. Gallagher too I suppose. 

Agreed a proper striker should be the priority, permanent deal obviously better.

6 players for 3 positions, 7 if we sign a striker as well, he isn't going to be able to keep all those happy.

I don't buy this stuff that Nyambe was treated badly. He starts the vast majority of games he is fit and he does have things he needs to work on. The players just realise they could get better deals elsewhere. Wouldn't be surprised if Nyambe, Lenihan and Brereton all sign new deals eventually

Who? 

Only joking,but not the player some were trying to make him out to be when he left. 

[RoversClitheroe]

@islander200are you guessing on Obefemi or just what you've heard?

Bugger, was hoping the injury would put paid to that. Complete was of time, how many wingers does a manager who doesn't play wingers need?!

[callumrovers]

Maybe we were after Lowe and Obafemi? Lowe being a perm cheap Khadera replacement and Obafemi as the striker? 

[Guest]

Don't usually promote stuff in here but we're doing a live deadline day show, completely Rovers orientated, from 8:30pm tonight. We'll have Jaquob Crooke, Rich Sharpe, @Herbie6590 & a few more live on the air as the deadline day clock counts down. Hopefully get an exclusive or two from the reporters. Feel free to join us later 

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Obafemi on loan anywhere doesn't really add up if he is out of contract in a year. Serious potential there, so hopefully it's a permanent deal.
