January Transfer Deadline Day 2022

[G Somerset Rover]

On a side note, is Chaddy banned or something? Deadline day is that lads Christmas and birthday rolled into one.

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

He doesn’t start games and won’t be in the near future. It was a dreadful move for his career IMO. It never works out for Rovers players that leave for big money.

Stoke selling Surridge to Forest.

Nothing must be close on a midfielder as they haven't let Davenport out

I knew I was missing something. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Does he now live in Yorkshire so no longer has access to the interwebs?

[rovers11]

What a dismal day so far. In striking distance of the prem and looks like a loan lb will be the only deal at the moment. 

Hope there's something bubbling with other deals but we've usually heard about it by now.

Thinking of following him by any chance? 😁

Right, it’s balls to the wall time now. Whatever is left in the budget, throw it at Dwight Gayle for 4 months.

Even if they miss out, they'll have a very good squad of players next year. Sadly I'm very impressed with their recruitment. 

Mist will move back to their clubs whilst they will have to sell their other good players

[Swanson]

They could be working on something, I don't remember this, but was there any info that Maja was in for a medical in august ? Or did that "break" after the window shut ?

Shaping up to be a very poor window again.  The old excuses will be getting churned out shortly.

[SuperBrfc]

Some of these loan fees are getting ridiculous. I seem to remember Mowbray saying the quoted fees are preventing us from landing the higher quality loans.

Bournemouth are paying £1.5m for 6 months of Nat Phillips. Different world, I know, but Spurs have just signed Kulusevski on loan with a loan fee of £8.3m. United want £12m from Newcastle for Lingard provided the loan helps them to stay up. It's madness.

Five hours left to see how much those at Ewood want promotion this season.

[West Yorks Rover]

Maybe Patterson is on his way up from South Wales very long drive.

Can only hope, as he would be ideal new forward.

[ben_the_beast]

It's been very, very quiet. Was hoping for the lwb, a centre mid at minimum. There hasn't been much about deals falling through so just hoping that we have things bubbling away behind closed doors

Think it was brought up an hour or so before deadline 

Things could be happening but if any fee was agreed with another club surely be known by now

As it stands we have a stronger squad than at the beginning of January, and we are second in the league. If we win on Saturday the window will be forgotten.

[Miller11]

If you’d told me a month ago we’d come out of this window with our fist team intact and bring in Hedges and Zeefuik I’d have been delighted. A couple more would be great, but not the end of the world if we don’t. I’m more concerned about incoming bids from left field for the lads who have done so well getting us to where we are now.

This is actually disappointing... Even without selling Rothwell, Mowbray said that they are close to bringing players in. 

If we are serious about promotion, then we should have been aggressively trying to strengthen this squad. Not saying sign 5 or 6 players, just 3 quality in key positions would have sufficed.

The signings of Hedges, Markanday & Zeefuik seem to be being ignored…I know Markanday got injured but who could foresee that ?

Giles in, Rothwell retained…that would be decent surely ?

I would like us to keep whatever monies we have, and put them towards a bid for Van Hecke on a permanant.

[Fraserkirky]

This will be a failure unless we sign a centre midfielder and a striker in the next 5 hrs IMO. I would be happy with Paterson.

Decent, yes. And I agree that there's a tendency to ignore that we've got some good business done early this window. 

That said, we're still one more player short of it being a really good window.
