I suspect that you will be disappointed on all of those ins unfortunately, but why does this dream window leave us with only Gallagher and Vale as strikers?

Are you choking on your cornflakes because we've (so far) spent £6.5m without a BBD sale yet?

A team has bid £7.5m for Emil Riis. Would make sense for us to sell Brereton for basically double that and go and get Riis, but I suspect that would not happen under these owners.

I know yeah it's not as if they have ever spent biggish money on a forward before

Personally not bothered about SVDB. Would be nice to have him as he is a quality player but I also believe Carter is ready for the championship and would like to see him get his chance. 
 

My hopes for the rest of window would be:

Out: Diaz (15m), Butterworth (loan/perm)

In: Birkimevic (5m), Styles (2m), bowler (3m)

All mentions of this Bowler have 100% come from wishful thinking posts on the forum. 

Personally I've never seen him play, don't even know his position and had never even heard of him until the name started popping up on here

1.5m, 2.5m, 1m, 5m no?

But not the point I was making. If we let Brereton run his contract down, it is negligent. 

But the point you quote is about a specific posters wishes for the rest of the window, which includes signing 3 players that seem to keep re-occuring with little basis and leaving us with 1 striker.

If Brereton stays and we don't sign anyone else permanently, would that be a positive window for you or negative?

Club can’t win here can they, don’t get loans and develop our own there’s people on here saying it’s all a conspiracy theory and we aren’t trying to get promoted etc

or we get loans in to improve the current ability and people moan we are not developing our own!

You're right, Club can't win---as 3 games in a row testify. Haven't scored in 3 games either. No wonder fans are not happy.

Not the window we hoped for but the one we invariably get.

is he a replacement for BBD tho? Played 2 very different positions and Whilst Riis is a very good player at this level and I thought he might be target given that JDT will know him from his Danish national team days. 

I think Veljko Birmančević would be better replacement for BBD positional wise. Then bring in a number 9 striker. 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Unless bbd is sold I'm now just expecting the window to quietly petter for us with maybe just attempts at signing a couple of so so players to fill a couple of squad numbers. 

Even if bbd is sold now I don't think we'll see any serious attempt to replace him in this window

 

*sorry I'm feeling a little flat about the clubs shenanigans(or lack of) today 😄

[Mercer]

We need Sunderland to quickly confirm Mowbray then he can come and mop up some of our dross giving us more scope fee and wage wise.

Mowbray won't have much of say there with transfers. Its down to Speakman and Harvey

Bowler is on the radar of Forest, bids of £4m on the cards.

He's not coming here, sadly.

Good choice, going to a team to be 124th choice!

Brereton is quite unique is that he is a prolific goalscorer and a left winger. We need a striker either way as Gallagher and Vale is nowhere near enough.

Brereton's departure would leave us needing a left winger AND a goalscorer, but it would be much more likely to get a central striker who can be that goalscorer. So sign Riis and then get a left winger separately.

How many times have you watched BIrmancevic?

Also, Riis has never played for Denmark.

Honestly zero worries if van den berg goes to schalke. We have more than enough at the back aside from left back imo. Need bodies in midfield and up front. Spend the money there

What happens if Brittain gets ruled out long term?

Edit - to answer my own question Carter...

Rovers pulled plug on SVDB according to LT

[BankEnd Rover]

SVDB not coming…I was told from a reliable source yesterday that it would get sorted today. Mental…however like a lot of others im not overly fussed.

That means Rovers are now left with a decision as to whether to look for another option to add to their central defensive ranks, or stick with those at their disposal.

I suspect that 3 signings has now become 2, so 1 more to go. Carter is "like a new signing."

That’s why svb was important because he can cover rb and rwb.  If he doesn’t come then we may have a problem. 

[Tormund]

Spent too long on the Van Den Berg deal, hopefully we’ve moved onto something better.

[JHRover]

Sharpe has confirmed SVDB not happening. Strange because I was being told weeks ago that the deal was 'all agreed' and we were just waiting on Liverpool deciding when to let him come.

Suspect that is the end of our defensive recruitment. If 3 is the limit of our incomings and we've already got one with Hyam it seemed odd to bring in 2 and only allocate 1 signing to the rest of positions.

If Broughton is correct and Hyam was an option in July, then went cold and was resurrected in the last week then it perhaps makes sense that SVDB was an alternative lined up which now isn't needed.

[roversfan99]

I can't forsee any situation whereby that 3 signing thing is set in stone to the point that one of those is filled by another position instead.

We could really use a mr versatile in the team, someone that can come in and do a steady 6 out of 10 job anywhere down the left or right side(and occasionally in the centre)

What's bennet up to these days?😅 Or maybe get Emerton out of retirement.

Ive said it before but I Would like Brendon Williams from Manchester United. Would be a very good signing at LB. Probably quite cheapish. Far down the pecking order at United. 
 

can play both fullbacks

Bennett was versatile in that he was equally useless in whatever position he was put in. Suppose Rankin Costello could do that.

Rankin makes Bennet seem like Emerton!

Not what I was saying though, is it?

The fees for the players signed are widely reported as £1.5m £2.5m and £2.5m.

Brereton's contract was allowed to run down before this summer. In that respect the horse has already partially bolted as it did with Lenihan, Nyambe and Rothwell.

If BBD stays and no-one else at all comes in I would say that was less than what was required.

If he stays and we signed a reasonable striker on a permanent basis and someone to offer a genuine threat on the right wing I would say against all the odds what was potentially looking like a disaster  turned into a fairly decent window.
