That *was* the January Window

Just a formality I believe. Duncan is currently at Ewood for the game. This isn't a repeat of O'Brien.

But from what I have heard of the McGuire analysis, he is far from the perfect striker but he meets the characteristics list of what he hadn't previously got in the squad absolutely perfectly. Genuinely excited by this one.

I’ve read that 3 times and it seems complete gobbledegook. 
 

is it just me?

There was an interview with him and a video too.

 

There’s that small clip to announce the signing. They normally do an extended interview with the player on Rovers TV.

The rest of the signings are on there, besides McGuires.

Apparently the club not commenting and will provide clarity after the match

They wouldn’t want to say it’s fallen through before a big game would they.

If there’s nothing to worry about they would say it’s confirmed and just waiting for international clearance. It’s happened again hasn’t it?

Why arent the club willing to comment on it though?

I reckon so, now JDT not being allowed to attend the press conference makes sense.

Us ballsing up another piece of important paperwork on deadline day would be the most rovers thing ever under this lot. When it rains.

And anyone thinking this was accidental/a mistake needs taking to a wall and firing at until life leaves them

[pick32]

It will just be international clearance 

[wilsdenrover]

When McGuire was announced it was subject to international clearance.

When Fleck was announced (later) it was subject to EFL approval.

Fleck is on the bench today so presumably that approval was given.

Based on that, I can’t see how we missed the deadline on McGuire.

Someone’s probably just seen he’s not on the bench and assumed (based on our record) that we’ve fucked something up.

Sticking your neck out. Really hope your info is right. 

[sharpysharps86]

Sounds like its potentially a visa issue, in which case nothing like the O'Brien saga of last January, and it'll mean dealing with a different kind of appeal I imagine.

That being said, the lad is at Ewood today. Would be a strange move for him to come along to the game if it really had fallen through.

Tommy Rovers vs Nathan Jones. 
The Showdown.

Effectively if it doesn't go ahead then you have to start looking at someone internally doing something.....

I don't expect this to be anything as he seems to be at Ewood for the game which is very different to the situation last season, but if they have managed to balls this up, I agree.

Once with something like this is an egregious set of errors, twice can only be deliberate.

They needed a replacement for Fury v Usuk

At the moment I can't see this being anything other than a formality but if there's any truth in it it would explain why they're not letting JDT anywhere near a camera.

There's only one penny pinching employee who would be kiboshing feals internally IF there's any truth in this.

My thoughts exactly.

Would he be as jovial taking pictures outside if it's definitely off? First round to Tommy hopefully

I don’t think this is the case — firstly, if you go into the club shop they won’t sell you a McGuire 50 shirt, but also the lack of comment smells of an element of truth.

There's certainly some form of complication but he will still be registered a Rovers player.

If there's a problem he doesn't seem to be aware of it.......yet.
