Jackson probably has a line to the club and its officials, but it comes across as the be all and end all as far as transfer news goes. Perhaps it's an unfair assumption to put upon him given that he's unlikely to dispute it, but the names linked with us are usually put forward by other sources.

It'll come down to who you know. Nixon, like him or not, probably has a huge network of sources, including agents and their contacts. The majority of names talked about on here originate from Nixon or foreign articles rather than the local reporter.

TBF Jackson addressed this in a recent podcast. He said that he had to tread more carefully than online national journos so that he can maintain a relationship with the club. He can’t just spew out transfer tittle tattle.

 

He said he won’t put a name out there unless he’s had it confirmed by 2 separate credible sources. 
 

He gave an example of a Rovers target he knew earlier in the window before it got picked up elsewhere, but because he’d only had it confirmed by one source he couldn’t put the name out there.

As some have just mentioned, £600k for Cantwell is robbery, what a deal that is for a lad of his experience. 

I still think we struggle with his wages, unless the wage structure has been stretched for him!

Well Waggots must feel like shitting in his pants..

Las Palmas have put an offer in for Cantwell?

If true, we can put a line through that one.

I wonder if Waggott tipped them off ? 

Every chance ,I suspect !

Can someone enlighten me as to why Hull can seemingly blow us out the water for every loan/signing?

Hull F'kin City who've won the sum total of F all - ever. 

They seem to go through cycles of selling big and then reinvesting it all. They have an owner that wants to win (and were bought from an owner that wanted to win).

Las Palmas or Old Langho

Arse end of his career but Dino Baggio was disappointing in his short spell with us.  Throw in Grabbi and the Italian league is one to avoid! 

Good song tho.

LT are really bad on reporting Rovers. When was the last time we had a decent reporter who chased news and asked decent questions

If true then I hope we aren’t wasting our time hanging around.

[Fraserkirky]

Ben Doak makes so much sense for both us and Liverpool

Of course we will be, a nice excuse not to spend that cash,

"We tried" "We were messed about by a target upto deadline day" "Money to spend in Jan" etc etc.

We know how these work, or at least should do by now.

Blackburn or Gran Canaria - it's a toughie... Las Palmas get good crowds and play in La Liga

They have a terrific stadium (30k+) and average circa 25k.

Who wouldn't want to go there if your only other option is Rovers.

 It would be a clean start for the lad in completely pastures new and he would be bonkers to turn it down.

Where has the Las Palmas rumours come from is there a verified source or is it another ITKer?

If he gets his skates on he could be signed in time to play against Real Madrid tomorrow night.

Fair old treck from Gran Canaria to even the southern most Spanish cities like Seville. Curious lifestyle for those Las Palmas players, must spend half their lives on planes.

Not seen anything on this from Rovers or Rangers side. Surely Nixon would know this as well

[roversfan99]

Las Palmas have signed Scott McKenna and Oli McBurnie this summer so they arent alien to this market. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

I'm sure just 24 hours ago in the LT Jackson said we had shortlisted 3 keepers.  Iversen, Travers and Rushworth.  

As we are clearly signing none of those his info can't be great - even with his line in the club.

Let's hope the satisfaction of rubbing in the faces of those who called him a problem by bringing Rovers back to PL is better than La Liga....

 

yea i know ...i'm a hopeful romantic

How did we know that was going to happen?

Incredibly convenient. (For Waggott)

[Emerald Isle Rover]

So to clarify some account on here has mentioned Las Palmas
