January Transfer Window.

[BankEnd Rover]

Don’t expect much but we must get at least one new face in or it’s a massive fail!

I personally would take Dembele and stick him up top. He’s not exactly a target man but he most certainly is a game changer. With past links to him I also think he’s realistic. 
 

No pressure Greg.

The only plan Rovers seem to have is the academy. 

Clearly, in the next couple of years, we will have an under 21 side and our first team will essentially be an under 23 side-all on low contracts. 

I thought the last window was poor but this one is on a different level of inept at seemingly every level of the club.  

The vicious circle then starts when these players make the step up and the first team doesn't have the quality to help them develop. If you look at the amount of academy prospects that get to our first team and then come to a crashing halt in terms of developing it is actually scary. The academy to first team plan has been in for years, Raya is the only person to bring in a decent fee.

Could Undav be back on?

yes I know Ferguson is injured….

 

Be great if he is, were we the only interested team though? That's the only concern.

Wow, good signing for them. They’re quick on the ball unlike us at the back.

Is it though? I know nothing of the kid but to be released from your contract usually insinuates some kind of issue, be it attitude or physical.

I promise you, onhama will rip up this league.  If he has issues with attitude then fair enough but if its simply for game time or anything else then he's going to help transform preston

Should be a decent signing for them. 

[TheRevAshton]

The nobbers are getting Josh Onomah - wow, didn't think my day would be ruined this early!

[Danny O.Brien]

He had one decent season with Villa about five years back. Let's not get too carried away.

On their way back from France, empty-handed apart from some duty free fags on the ferry. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Preston are similar to us as in they have no real play maker. Onomah will change that - would be a great signing for them!

Rich Sharpe on whether there's any money in the pot ...

Ffs nearly started Googling then…

[Dolly blue]

Well…..the North End signing is a little depressing…..but, of greater concern to me is …currently we have a new winger ( right ) …does  this move Gallagher to play centrally ( shocking goal returns thus far ) ? Will Dack play off him ? Will we have Brererton wide left ( shocking goal return of late ) ….…

…..this forces  us to play  2 little boys in midfield…….always overrun by other Championship teams who play  3 men ? 

So much to look forward to…

There we have it, the focus of the club is not on the play offs. Makes me wonder why I bother watching, as my incentive to go is to see us win football matches and that clearly isn't the aim here.

Sick of it.

You read something like this and wonder why you're going to spend your day on here waiting for rumours/links/actual transfers, but we'll all still do it. I hate this game.

I can, kind of understand it IF there is a longer term plan at work here BUT it shouldn't be understated how good an opportunity we have this season to make the play offs and when these opportunities come around, you've surely got to make the most of it.

In addition to that, you look at the bottom 8 clubs in the premier league at present: Forest, Leicester, Leeds, West Ham, Wolves, Bournemouth, Everton and Southampton, 3 of those coming down next season will all be going back up again, which makes an assault on promotion next season almost impossible.
