January Transfer window 2022

[J*B]

Mercer’s arguably got the worst record on here. Blue Nun could mean anything.

Sharpe says we are close to a permanent signing from abroad and should have Hedges on a pre contact agreement also.

He said of the club’s remaining business: “It’s looking like loans. We’re trying really hard."

Sounds like solely loans bar maybe a permanent from abroad and that we cant afford to bring the Hedges deal forward.

Hedges has already announced he has signed a PCA with Rovers on his igram feed.

Oh right, nice one. I don't have Instagram, just saw Sharpe's tweet about him and this permanent addition (although his LT story contradicts this)

I enjoyed the fact he had to post his cryptic clue twice to get people to pay attention to it

[superniko]

George Nunn as a few others said is the only non-partridge reference that looks like a possibility.

Blue (Chelsea or Rovers) 
Nun (Nunn)

Also plays a similar position to Khadra apparently, and fits all the loan talk.

Admittedly I’ve not a clue if he’s any good but it certainly doesn’t excite me.

I’ve just checked his feed and there’s nothing on there about that?

He may have put a story on about it, as they only last 24 hours, but there’s nothing I can see. You got a link/screenshot?

I just assumed Mainz because that’s there Blue Nun is from. And Mowbray on about a foreign player.

My guess is Paul Nebel

Cryptic/vague clues to a potential transfer target, at 11 o'clock?

Anyone ever seen Mercer and Nixon in the same room before?

It would be suicidal to sell Rothwell in Jan to a promotion rival…unless the offer is too good to turn down (£5m?).

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I think they might accept that offer.

[Guest]

It's a shame the offer is coming from a direct rival. £2m with 5 months left is a decent offer if the player won't sign, but under zero circumstances can we be selling him to Bournemouth at this stage

[roversfan99]

If they sold a key player for a tiny fee to a promotion rival, it would be beyond disgraceful.

No it isnt considering our league position, even if it wasnt a rival.

Why is it a "shame?" Would you sell if say it was a foreign team?

[alcd]

That "back injury" seems a bit coincidental? 

[neophox]

Selling Rothwell to another promotion chasing side would be lunatic and lunatic by Rothwell against us fans....can they offer more than us?

[neophox]

Is £2m worth if missing out on promotion to sell a player to a promotion rival? Lunatic... disgraceful if true. We can always reject it and if he's unhappy he can train with u23 and then go for a free.

 

What if Rothwell becomes a matchwinner for Bournemouth making us miss out....

Yes, if the player won't sign, then £2m is probably the best we're going to get. FWIW I'd keep and lose him for nothing in the summer. Promotion is worth the £2m risk.

[Dreams of 1995]

If I was Rothwells team mate I’d be demanding this morning an answer to whether he will be turning it down or not. Surely he owes a degree of loyalty to his team mates and won’t join a rival club midway through the season 

Unfortunately with Joe not signing the contract then the Club, from a business perspective, may be inclined to accept regardless of the on pitch consequences. Bournemouth are playing a trick here and we need to stay strong and not get dragged into it

Lose him for free in the summer if you have to. 

[neophox]

How much did Rothwell cost from Oxford?
