Summer transfer window 2021.

[SuperBrfc]

Berahino to Sheff Wednesday. Glad it didn't turn out to be Rovers in for him.

Oh how his career has fallen - a league one side?

That was ambitious for a club that can't pay decent wages. 

 

It's the next (hopefully 2 signings) that make or break this window.  

 

Decent permanent striker and hopefully the last loan spot goes to a big talent from one of the big boys.  

 

If the last loan ends up being a striker then it has  been a poor do.

 

 

 

It's a poor do if the incomings fail. If we carry on gaining points, it's a success.

(I'm obviously exaggerating a tad) 

No idea what point you're trying to make, but it's pretty tasteless

So the irrational excitement I had this morning thinking it could be Obafemi, Roberts and Ntcham has well and truly evaporated.

Khadra and Edun, with 2 underage loans to follow.

Whoopdi-fucking-do.

I woke up with irrational excitement but it had nothing to do with football 😅

Did you really think Roberts and Ntcham were realistic last day transfer additions?

I'd prefer Doyle as our Striker option ahead of those we have been linked with. Looks like the lad can do the lot. 

We need a permanent striker signing in. 

Doyle is a midfielder

Nixon saying someone unexpected has interest in Tom Eaves and Brandon Barker. Doubt its us but never know

Can't see us being interest in Hull's striker Eaves. Makes no sense at all

Take this with an absolute pinch of salt, but someone on FB saying we're in for Josh Maja.

Personally don't believe it at all.

I think there was meant to be frivolity in the post, though it was funny, and lighten what is an uninspiring deadline day ---- so far.

[1864roverite]

Until Rovers announce it it hasn’t happened ! Maybe they are holding out for a triple announcement

£3.9 million fee I have read, so I would be surprised

Going to Forest

Would WBA striker Zohore be an option for us. Know the championship

Signing Josh Maja would be a coup and sign of intent from the club. Would Rovers spend 4 million pounds on a fee? Well Rich Sharpe said this morning that we have more money to spend on a striker then we thought.

Good player, but never really fulfilled his promise. I have a feeling Mowbray wants someone quicker, rather than another target man. Gallagher can fill that role.

He was an 'ok' player but a complete bell-end off the pitch as I recall.

Most deadline day signings aren't realistic a week before deadline day. 

Robinho, Martial, Tevez/Mascherano, Andy Carroll. All sublime and ridiculous deadline signings.

In our case you could say Harvey Elliott was unrealistic, as was a certain £7m Chilean.

 

We just seem happy to be "linked" to those sort of players for a bit of "Street cred" however Mowbray seems more interested getting a pat on the back from the big clubs as an elite groomer through pointless loans.

[SoldierMo]

So we got two loans but now Brighton signing a striker and loaning him to Stoke…Tony you fool

We have done best having a hard working midfielder as our focal point in attack. 

 

[roverandout]

Dreadful window overall.  Completely uninspiring but then again Mowbray is uninspiring

Yep - seemed a non starter all along. I hope we haven’t wasted too much time behind the scenes. ‘We tried’ is still my prediction. Prove me wrong, Tony, please.
