Love the part where you completely ignore that Rothwell actively asked to speak to another club, a direct rival in the current league positions.

 

And?

Club say no - end of story.

Never needed to be made public. Not from our end anyway.

Yes please.

Crunch a fee people in Central midfield.

[Hasta]

Have we forgotten that currently if Kaminsky gets injured it's season over?

Are there any keepers out there who can also cover left back?

Beat me to it - excellent cover for Travis - and right side centre back

Definitely. We only have 4 first teamers for 3 spots, and we shoved one of them up front last game.

Can see the lancs live blog now:

15:00 - Don't get disheartened, moves are being made

17:00 - No honestly, Rovers are actively looking

19:00 - Transfer news incoming...

19:30 - Chapman joins Burton on a free

20:00 - Rovers are in for an unnamed striker

20:30 - Giles gets announced

20:45 - That's not Rovers done yet!

21:00 - Davenport leaves

22:00 - Rumours come out we offered 120k for Charlie Austin 3 hours before the deadline

22:30 - Rovers sign another right back, just for the crack

23:01 - That's Rovers done for the day, let's not forget Rovers have kept Rothwell and Dack is basically a new signing anyway.

Based on the past performance of our recruitment department it is hard not to be that cynical isn't it?

What is it they say when you're buying an investment "Past performance is no guarantee of future success" or something?

Let's hope the same principle applies in reverse here!

Who have they ACTUALLY signed?

Genuine question as I've no idea!

They've signed Freddie Woodman on loan.

He would want to play every week.Which of Ayala, Wharton or Van Hecke you dropping?

He'll be on silly wages.

I don't think we need a centre half per se but I think he'd be a great option in midfield and could cover in defence if needed.

So they're all mouth and no action then?

Ayala.

Was meant to be Lenihen.

Jones will want guarantees he plays, hence why his move to France is off.

Travis, Lenihen, Van Hecke and Wharton don't need to be taken out of the team.

Sorry, have we sold Lenihan and I missed it?

Or the false 9 Tony has been waiting for.

So you are dropping Travis or Rothwell then?

Jones wants guaranteed playing time.

No I wrote Ayala instead of Lenihen by accident, but Ayala is good enough cover 

We don't need to be spending big wages on Jones.

Why spend the cash when you can accomplish the same just by consider it.

I'd happily take Van Hecke out to accommodate Jones, personally. I don't actually believe he'll come, mind.

Regardless, I believe we need at least one more defender. We're only a couple of cards away from suspensions for some. Add injuries to that and we're buggered.

Give it 2 games and Jones will get injured again anyway.

Sam Gallagher can play both

Nope. 
 

Van Hecke is the man.
