Great signing, we’ve got a good squad.

Ah thought you meant the strikers we have, not who’s fit etc!

When he's fit he's not someone we can rely on. I know he scored the other day but it's few and far between. We need a goalscorer so we can have a plan B if the false 9 isn't working.

Giles is a brilliant signing if it's happened, I hope we can sign him permanently next season.

We have 4 excellent CBs..

I would like us to sign an old experienced Gk though. 

Clearly not many have had the pleasure of seeing our 6'4" sixteen year old centre back, Ash Phillips in action?.....he'd step up to the first team mark next week, given the opportunity to do so and would excel. He's exceptional but just one of a wealth of young talent that will come through in the next 2/5 years and are good enough.

tis true but he`s not a hold up and hard to knock off the ball type,someone who can put himself about would give us another option when the game turns ugly,id`e have loved to see that s**thouse lockyer get ragdolled on saturday

Personally, I don't think we need someone to come in and do this. We very obviously play counter attacking football and a player who plays with his back to goal instead of on the shoulder would really slow transitions down. This is one of the reasons I'm a bit worried as to how Dack will fit into this team, he feels (to me) like one of those previous batch of players that probably should have moved on by now, if it wasn't for his injury. If we absolutely need a target man then Gallagher should be through the middle because he certainly isn't a winger.

Same, can’t see him getting in Wolves team with their set up of signings. He’s got to push on eventually so every chance.

Zeefuik, Hedges and Giles are cracking signings from what I can see (sad about the young lad from Spurs)

Would like to see an old sub goalkeeper and a striker. There is still plenty of time, and with 3 more of our young strikers ready to go on loan I'd imagine we must be pretty confident. 

[garnersfags]

Historically, deadline day has only been frustrating and disappointing when we haven't made any window signings. 

We have made signings, and we are just trying to see what falls into place in terms of adding one more by midnight, but that will be a bonus. 

I would keep Davenport as attacking cover, as he has looked good off the bench in our winning run. 

Johnson will do a better job than posters think, as we get to the sharp end. 

We can do this, but a lot depends on the form of Khadra and Ben....

Maybe the Brereton to Barcelona thing isn’t as far fetched as it seems?

Mega clubs signing players for their image rights happens. They'd certainly be able to exploit his popularity in Chile, unlike us.

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it happened in Summer.

Hedges isn’t well regarded in Scotland

said it before,bournemouth`s big problem is their manager

Aye, does Scott Parker think the rules are about to change to 20 a-side?

If we get second spot, Bournemouth are fucked!!

COYB!!!!

Brereton to Barcelona is amazing

Our only fit strikers are Brereton and Butterworth and there seems no urgency to bring anyone else in. I hope I'm wrong.

Chapman, Khadra, Gallagher, Hedges

[jim mk2]

Giles seems to have a good left peg on him to judge from videos. 

And he can take a decent corner and free kick

Which will be a novelty

Yeah, I think he is 6th choice after Nyambe possibly being moved there. Yep, he Wharton and Leonard look like real talents. 🙂

Still the money from Armstrong has not been invested in a striker...

Still Nyambe, Lenihan and Rothwell has not signed new contracts...

Still shambles with getting new signings over the line...

Still have one of the best chance in many years to being promoted and make millions...

If I was owner of Blackburn Rovers FC I would be really worried about how our board of directors fare are mismanaging the club.

..... on his holidays I'm sure he'll enjoy it. 

As a footballer, highly unlikely

You think the Armstrong warchest is sat there with the owners willing people to sell and it just incompetence below that prevents that?

Incorrect. Many Aberdeen fans rate him very highly. Bit one footed though. Looked fantastic training today. 🙂

Hopefully direct free kicks. We might as well not bother with them since Charlie left.

We must have SOME money last week we were close to bringing in a foreign based attacker and every interview Mowbrays been talking about incomings.

Why is he saying this if no funds?

[neophox]

Both Burns and McBride has left.... must be a striker coming in...
