That *was* the January Window

On a perm yes please.

Agreed. 

A loan adds nothing whatsoever to the value of the deal.

[Gamst21]

Hopefully this will tempt JDT into signing a new contract. Money available in the summer for a rebuild alongside the Raya money. Main objective now is to stay in the league and the rebuild in the summer begins. 

[Darwen Rover 007]

We need to use the remaining days of this window and the summer to do the following:

Exit - Whalsted, Moran, Siggy, Ennis, Telalovic - sorry non of these guys are good enough, end of.

Bring in - New experienced GK, central defender, experienced CM, winger and 2 x strikers. A GK and striker are top priorities in my view.

No thanks.

 

Experience needed.

 

Does Wharton want to leave or is Gregg egging him on? Who's his agent btw?

As a bonus the Palace lad is rated as a good young winger and we need some pace out wide. Looks like Southampton want him though.

I'm not sure about Siggy, he's our second top scorer. What we need to do is stop playing him wide. In an ideal world he'd be an ideal sub for when Sammie tires.

I like Telalovic.

I think Siggy is playing in the wrong position as offers nothing.

Yes, I'm sure he's bring in another 4 or 5 Hirst's Ennis's or Telalovic's or Wahlstedts and life will be rosy.

Maybe if a chunk of the money was spent bringing in a proper DOF we'd stand a slightly better chance.

 

and in the one transfer window that he was allowed to spend decent money... Szmodics, Hyam & Brittain

So if McGuire enters the building Leonard will probably leave on loan.

 

In the summer Telalovic is sent back to Germany, Ennis to League One and we'll renew Gallaghers contract before selling him for £1.5m to a Championship rival.

I don't see the point of developing another PL youth player for them, when we need experience at the back. I doubt we're looking for wingers with Dolan and Hedges coming back, as well has having just signed Sigurdsson on a perm.

[RevidgeBlue]

I can see I'm fighting a losing battle arguing with The Football Manager or Fifa Generation on here.

All I can say is that for our Club selling our best player has rarely if ever resulted in an improvement in fortunes on the pitch, in fact usually quite the reverse.

Last time it happened was arguably 1974 when Tony Field was sold and Gordon Lee eventually rebuilt the side after a bit of a gap.

I'm also reminded of Spurs selling Bale. They wasted that money on a right load of old pony.

We need to sell Gallagher now ideally, we don't want to trigger an extension on his current deal when he's probably our top earner and adding zero contribution to the team.

I do agree.

Venkys never reinvest, but if there's no optimism we might as well quit supporting the club.

We paid good money for Hyam and he's average at best.

Brittain has been a terrible signing.

Really want Telalovic to do well, but am just not convinced.

Definitely not getting the best out of Siggy... 

[Polky]

Ornstein confirming it’s £22m including add ons.

[Miller11]

Imagine speaking to Jack Walker now…

Well Jack, we’ve got a young lad come through the academy you built. He’s only 19, Blackburn born and bred, his brother plays here too. Genuinely a world class prospect, levels above what David Dunn ever was. No doubt he will go on to play for England sooner rather than later!

Brilliant! That was always the dream, to develop young local talent that can help keep us at the very top!

 

Oh, sorry Jack, did we not mention we are flogging him to Crystal Palace? You see because we have destroyed every bit of the club apart from the academy over the last 13 years, the 7th biggest club in London, with their small ground and zero trophies in their history are now considered a much bigger club than Rovers, even by half of our own fans!

Zero contribution? Did you see the interview with JDT post match last night?

[Torgeir]

Better insert a resale clause.

We've been absolutely shafted!!!!!!!

Fuck off Venkys.

Fuck off Waggott.

Fuck off Broughton.

[neophox]

If we look at a young good left back. Harrisson Burrows, 22 at Peterborough. Contract expires in the summer. Another one is centre half Ronnie Edwards, 20, Peterborough.

Max Bird 23, Derby, young promising defensive midfelder, contract expires in the summer.

Calvin Ramsay Bolton Wanderers right back....good prospect.

Give it a rest.

EVERY club bar the top 0.1% has to sell their star players.

It’s what you do with the cash that separates the men from the boys.

Lets hope we’re not the latter…

How can you say that Gallagher adds "xero contribution" yet you like Telalovic?!

Ramsey joined Bolton from Liverpool yesterday on loan.
