It appears you're tending not to worry about things that HAVE happened as well... like 5 of our regular starters from last season leaving the club.  Loans not being relevant as you tried to suggest before is a nonsense, as is telling us Rothwell and Nyambe would have been bit-part... that's just a baseless comment. 

I appreciate people are trying to remain positive and patient, but I think it's important we stick to the facts as well.   

 

The facts also include that fact that loan players leave at the end of the previous season and the next batch usually arrive at the back end of the window. So that’s two of the five I’m not worried about as it’s inevitable at this point in time.

I’m not that worried about Rothwell going either.

The annual exodus of loan players  leaving is only something not to worry about if none of them excelled.

Given how good JPVH was last year for us I would suggest it is a massive worry if he isn't replaced with similar quality, especially with Lenihan leaving. Khedra less so, but even he still had his moments.

The ones  that came in January I'd agree on.

The only person laughing his cock off I suspect is Balaji Rao and any associates who still manage to see most of the justified blame deflected away from them.

Mowbray needed to go but he left us in a better place than he inherited us and he announced his decision to go well in advance of the season ending.

He found us with a bang average squad in the championship and left us with the same🤷‍♂️

At 23 still a fairly young striker...but the season before last, he played in the Championship for Rotherham. 31 games...with no goals! Hope he was being played out of position or something if we're interested, because that's a terrible return for a striker. In fact it's no return.

Did better last season with Portsmouth, 13 in 40, but in League One. Has had good goal returns for England youth teams up to U20s. On paper it's a no thanks from me.

No idea if the source has any credibility.

Aye…we’re probably better off using Vale.

Be p*ssed off to see Khadra go Sheff Utd. Seeing them sign the centre half we wanted and now Khadra hurts. Seems like no one of any decent quality wants to come to us. Kicking it off with a loan of someone who will probably do ok for us and then sign for someone else with more ambition the following season is going to p*ss me off even more. Any loan should have a view to buy clause included at least. 

 

What a sh*te transfer window so far. 

[roversfan99]

How about just a clutch of loans again, with the rhetoric that it was only FFP that stopped us from splashing the cash or that the rumour of a bid for the Bosnian proves that the money was there and it is only Waggott that stopped a spending spree...

(somewhat tongue in cheek)

I'm not convinced that we wanted Khadra back, our name was always lumped in with a number of others presumably because he was here last season.

I don't disagree that there are other areas of the squad that require more attention but I just think that he's a top talent, who can be coached into being one of the best players in the league. No questioning his ability, down to his attitude if fulfills his potential. At the right price I would have loved to have him here and would have without doubt made us more of a threat going forward.

It probably never was, doesn't help when you're paying in smarties.

Before the deadline? Yes, I'd be very surprised.

Would I be surprised if we only brought in say 3, rather than the 6 we need? Not particularly.

[Nuttall is lost]

The club need to get their finger out ASAP.  Mid July and not one player after losing 3or 4!
