January Transfer Window.

[Polky]

177 pages and finally a signing! JDT & GB out!

Welcome Sorba, I think he will be a great signing, just a shame there’s no buy option.

Sensible signing for me, we needed a pacey winger who can cross, and we've got one of the best (statistically) in the division.

There has been plenty of talk on here about that. @J*B and @Mike E have said they believe similar.

I think the club are managing expectation. Not sure how that translates to writing off a season. I'm sure everybody at Rovers would snap your hand off at a play-off spot.

kevin nisbet off to millwall,he would have been perfect for us,a goal scoring centre forward,it appears we can`t even match millwall in the transfer stakes nowadays

I agree, I think some have read too much into the comments made to the press.

Yeah agreed. Sounds like we don’t even have a quarter of what they’re spending on him though.

No option to buy, meh 

That could change come the end of the season depending how both teams fair so let's just see how it goes I say. Happy enough to get him on board as we do lack pace and a bit of creativity at the moment so best of luck to the lad.

We spent our budget in the summer. No idea how much Millwall have spent over the two windows but how do you know we haven't spent more?

Don't know much about Nisbet granted, but we wasted that amount on Szmodics in the summer.

[roversfan99]

I hope Porteous wasnt the only player we had in mind on a permanent deal now that we have failed to complete that deal.

If you not wanted by your manager you go somewhere else...Sorba could provide the amo for Breo and Dack

We've been crying out for some pace in this squad, great to see that we've (on paper at least) added that.

[neophox]

Philips and Carter better than Porteus..

[neophox]

We should get an central.midfelder and a striker in!

I was taking the piss. As it's my surname and people always spell it O'Brian.

Hang on, is that not the exact opposite of the stance you have taken over the last 12 months and the last two January windows of the Club in your eyes lacking ambition?

Well that is an advantage! Not.

[neophox]

Maybe Van Hecke coming back?

I have always been staunchly against the idea of "writing off seasons" and I was saying that signing a loan suggests that such an assumption is clearly false.

The club has lacked ambition ever since these owners came in.

Where's that come from? Now I would love that!

I don't think you'll see BBD giving it too much, a big contract to risk by giving 110% and sustaining an injury.

We'll see. Smacks of scraping the bottom of the barrel for a player in a position we don't particularly need just for the sake of getting a body in to me.

Can't imagine the player will be over the moon to be here either.

I'd rather give Markanday a proper chance and I'd imagine Dolan's stats this season are considerably better than that as well.

P.S. Everyone will be delighted to hear Google Chrome working fine. Samsung Internet seemingly still not.

I preferred the posts with the big white spaces - they made more sense.

What about writing off more than a decade?
