I thought this noise would be a change from JRC 😂

Sorry, mate, I didn't mean you shouldn't have posted it, it's interesting to hear what rumours are being officially shared. 

I just meant they should always be taken with a pinch o salt. 🙂👍

But surely the player has the right to subsequently change their mind as anybody who has accepted a job offer from a potential future employer can ?

To do a deal like this would mean agreeing with the player terms for playing in the Premier League when we have not had an opportunity to see if we like him - a deal to avoid for me.

Once the contract is signed there's no going back. If you sign a deal like that you've put the decision in the clubs hands. like we have with breo diaz's one year extension. He doesn't have a say in the matter.

Rovers in for Danish Midfielder…. Much needed if you ask me …

I've known Rovers make rasher signings.

Mads Bidstrup wanted on loan according to Daily Mail and Danish Media

Think you're overthinking it mate.

A one year loan deal with an obligation to buy with a 3 year contract is effectively just a 4 year permanent signing, and you can't decide after a year of signing for someone permanently that you don't fancy them anymore.

It's just a way around FFP.

Exactly this. Keep the payments off this years account but still get the player in.

The "foreign" target that Mowbray's been on about or another one?

Decent squad player if they can get him on a free. If there was a decent fee involved I don’t think they’d  be so keen.

I think he'd get eaten alive in the Prem - but then I look at our team and don't think any could make the step up.

Different I'd guess Rev. Believe his wording was 'from abroad', but then again, even that's down to interpretation I guess!

He’d be ok on the bench but he’s not a starting player.

I think he's done some training with them to keep/get fit.

They were looking into the signing as well I believe!

Most of what you say is technically correct of course but that is even more reason for ensuring that your prize assets are looked after at the appropriate time and not at the last minute when all the power is in the players' hands.

£30 m worth of talent potentially walking out for free in summer if we don't go up.

There's scores of clubs having the exact same issue so don't try and make it a unique example of bad management by us. Look at Chelsea and what about PSG and Mbappe??

There are many more examples out there too as you well know. 

We've even picked up Markanday on the cheap for effectively the same reason...

[jim mk2]

Isn't another forward (a good one) a priority? We rely on Brereton's goals and with the Tottenham lad out and Butterworth clearly not good enough at present the bench looks very thin.

Well said this is a global issue in football atm. Covid has really tightened everyones pursestrings and players still want what they would've got pre covid. I think a few of them will be surprise what they're offered as free agents as it won't live up to expectations.

 Come on mowbray, use your liverpool links to conjure up a loan deal for minamino for 6 months ……
