Dembele 

Keiffer Moore 

All signed or being finalised and fee agreed.

Rothwell was too, supposedly. So who knows what actually gets over the line.

Conflicting reports on fee agreed but Philips and Woodman are official and Cantwell and Moore are having medicals. Don't think it's gonna be a Rothwell case on any of them.

[Fraserkirky]

Tumbleweed as per usual

I swear I read earlier via Sharpe or similar that Giles was expected to be done sooner rather than later today. And that was first thing this morning!

Even that is seeming a bit of an uphill battle to get over the line.

Expand  

I feel like we'll hold back and announce all at once, whether that's just Giles or a couple of others.

Surely word would be getting out by now if anything is even remotely close. We can’t be that good.

[Ossydave]

Bound to be loans only now at this stage (if anything)

Decent signings by Bournemouth but surely the number of them, shows he isn't happy with his squad and how they are playing. We played them off the park not long back and their result's have been poor. It smacks of despiration to me. We have made and need maybe a couple more smart signings. Giles would be a start and would calm everyone down a bit 😅

There’s something to be said about the sum of the parts being better than their individual talents. You can buy whoever you like, but if they can’t play together they’re shite. Look at Reading and their wages/squad. Can’t underestimate a group pulling together. Hopefully Rothwell has taken his medicine and comes back in fully committed.

If we keep Rothwell(and he gets his head screwed back on straight ) and sign Giles we should be in very  good shape, still a bit pathetic that we've still not found cover for bb & gallagher though upfront though.

Not really the point, which is Bournemouth now have a bigger squad of quality players. Ours is paper thin - and it only takes injuries and / or loss of form and we've no one else to step up. The Luton match was a case in point

He's a great player, don't knock him. Lol!

[BigBar]

We need a striker. Call me crazy but I think we will finish the window with more than Hedges from an attacking point of view

LT now reporting we rejected the bid for Rothwell at £3.5. So what is it, did we reject or did Bournemouth pull out. Seems that would make a big difference in Rothwells commitment if he’s still here.

You are right on the paper thin comment. We need to add more than what we have already.

I'm sure there's a training manikin knocking around somewhere

[RV Blue]

Has the Rothwell situation caused us to take our eye of the ball re the other signings that were supposedly happening even when Rothwell was going nowhere?

Report on twitter saying Rovers after Armstrong back on loan.

Lol. Why would Armstrong go for that? Surely would fight for his place?
