Ideal Window
CB - Tyler Bindon (£500k)
CM - Lewis O'Brien (Loan)
RW - Kwame Poku (£2.5m)
LW - Ryan Kent (Free)
ST - Tom Cannon (£6m)

Realistic Window
CB - Grant Hanley (Free)
CM - No-one
RW - No-one
LW - Jeffrey Schlupp (Loan)
ST - Tom Bradshaw (£250k)

I'd take that first window with a loaned striker - which would only be £3m in transfer fees (plus obviously significant wages).

Anyone know who this bloke is? Gone on a mini rant about what Rovers need over on Twitter and how he knows of multiple investors who’d buy the club at sensible prices but Venky’s want their £100m back in any deal to sell the club. 

Errrr...... Big whoop .....he can borrow £25m.

What happens after that? Why do people embarrass themselves on social media like that?

Sounds more like a dating website than a 'fixer'. The likelihood is is that he is a bullshitter.

[Dreams of 1995]

It wouldn't be too difficult to raise £25m in capital if they secured it against the Club itself

This is - from even a cursory glance - an obvious self-publicist and chancer/fantasist.

On Hanley, just seen from another online article that Nixon is saying both us and Sheff Utd want Hanley on loan but that the player wants something with a permanent move at the end of it.

For that reason I'd doubt any interest in Schlupp or Hanley will come to anything .

[Norbert Rassragr]

Hanley is a big dumb ox of a player who is past it. We have a few older players, who are better.

Eustace being backed would be the actual signing of players with a decent fee involved. Backing is not being linked to a couple of old players on loan by a journalist hack.

signing players Eustace wants and requested is backing. 

Eustace wants these experience players and you say one moment you want Eustace to decide who he wants then next minute you disagree on who he wants. So which one is it?

Again, the burden of proof isnt on me. But it reads like a load of all shit to me. Just like the owners never refuse to sign a cheque, teams are sniffing around £10m Buckley and Rothwell's dad telling people on a train that Mowbray had hatched a plan to get all of the players whose contracts were expiring to all wait and sign for his next club. Feel free to believe it.

of course it is, given you are questioning the info whilst admitted no have no other info to disapprove what is posted by the well respected and well connected member of this forum. GB admitted during an interview with Jackson that the board wouldn't authorised the permanent move for McGuire.

Either way, point is that it is purely down to the owners as to how much money is made available. Thats the top and bottom of it.

We don't know how much involvement the owners(Mr D) even has with the owners. Money has been made available for 3 loans signings with decent wages or low cost transfer on low wage

So compared to the Rothwell situation, we will actually get a fee for Dolan and he might want to stay more. Meaning that comparatively speaking, it made even less sense to keep Rothwell.

I and others have expressed our opinions on Rothwell and why we didn't want sell directly to rival who we were challenging for second place. Time to accept each other opinions and move on RF99. its was 3 years ago FFS

It turned out to be the wrong one because Rothwell couldnt be arsed with the rest of the season, left on a free and those players we could have had with the money we would have got never arrived. Self explanatory. And we ended up in the Championship.

hindsight is such a wonderful things. We didn't get to the playoffs cos of Mowbray's refusal not changing tactics when it was clear as day the false 9 formation wasn't working. I and others called for this and you backed Mowbray sticking with his false 9 formation. Not for selling Rothwell. Anyway lets agree to disagree given it 3 years ago

What if Balaji Rao started telling Eustace to play certain players or that he wanted him to sign a specific player? Or that we are selling someone. Im guessing that would be ok if they felt it was right for the club. Nonsense. Give the football people the budget, let them make the footballing decisions. Simple as that. Dont need a long and laborious explanation.

I explained how I would run the club around transfers. I haven't said that the board should say we should specific player or this player should play but the board should be involved in the transfer process. 

The Board need to be involved. Do you not think Jack Walker was involve in transfers or John Williams was involved in transfers, saying whether we could afford it or changing budgets so Big Sam could sign Salgado and us having to sell Warnock for financial reasons to Villa. Do you think other clubs boards aren't involve in transfers? Or John Williams's letter to Mrs D saying that the board is no longer involved in transfers and I take it from your post you support the board not being involved? 

[ben_the_beast]

Prior to Danny Baath I wouldn't have been opposed to Hanley. I think Baath is a much better player and with finances limited we have other areas which are a priority. 

We won't do any deals until the end of the month anyway, by which point Carter won't be far off returning. Wharton will then be back at the end of the season and we are pretty well stocked providing we extend Baath's deal. 

We're so blunt in attack, that's where any limited money needs to be spent. Only centre half's I'd like to see are ones we can develop, such as Bindon.

[chaddyrovers]

From what Nicko is saying on his own Patreon account, it is Eustace pushing for experience signings and the club appears to be backing him.

Does Mahktar Gueye have any siblings?

After the Santa Cruz, Olsson and Wharton dynasties we could start a Gueye dynasty.

Get it looked into

We seemingly got back his twin brother who looked like he'd rarely seen a football after the Burnley sending off as it is.

I never said they shouldnt give Eustace what he wants. They should, it should be a case of heres your budget, Eustace and associated footballing staff, use it how you choose. Sell and buy if you want.

But backing him equates to giving him a decent budget to sign players. 

Being linked to players is not backing. But assuming we do sign a couple of loanees that he has chosen from a list. That still isnt backing him, thats allowing him to select from a very limited list because he hasnt been properly backed.

So this Joker reckons he can buy the Club with borrowed  Money for just 25 Million?

As much as that lot leaving would be welcomed,this is the Problem we would face if Venkys ever decided to sell...every Chancer,Bullshitter and Crook would be after the Keys to Ewood.

Damned if you do,damned if you dont.

[roversfan99]

Its good to have experience but we have absolutely no sellable assets or players who down the line we can polish up and sell on should we choose.

Problem is, they cost money, and absolutely none is being made available despite all of the sales we have made. We need to have players like that because our squad is full of plasters and they get ripped off in the short term.

They’ll never get most of their money back. They’re idiots.

Carter

Hes probably our most valuable player, and im not sure hes that valuable.

Currently recovering from a second serious injury, and not young or of sufficient quality to have Premier League interest.

[Bbrovers2288]

Worried about links we have had so far, none appear to be young, hungry and have pace. Which is what we need, think we have the experience professionals maxed out. And I have always , always disliked Hanley, so clumsy and just never showed anything other than wanting to smash players. Red card/ pen waiting to happen. He got away with it a bit when he had legs, he won’t have at 33. 
noticed at against Burnley they had big strong looking lads that could run all day, we had ones that looked lost or burst , we need some legs and strength badly
