January Transfer window

[Emerald Isle Rover]

We do have to remember batth and this is likely a cover signing 

my main concern is what their definition of priority is?

because the first signing (if any may I add) should have been a striker and or winger

squad fillers can wait

but again I’m not sure why I’m overly surprised or shocked the club is run by clowns who don’t have one interest in rovers at all and managed by a money grabbing weasel in waggott

Nixon saying on his patreon that we where only paying £6 grand a week toward Lewis Bakers wage 

Forshaw uninspiring 

[roversfan99]

The issue is money. They clearly are still unwilling to reinvest any of the money hence why we have to scrape so low in the barrel.

We wont be maintaining a play off push.

[G Somerset Rover]

We simply will never, ever, get promoted under these cretins. Their lack of funding, care and ineptitude along with a continuation of yes men at board level, will ensure that.

Adam Forshaw.

Good lord - they’ve actually one-upped themselves with that one. They’re… evolving.

The absolute stupid, shady, tight-fisted, cost-cutting, greedy, unambitious, short-sighted, embarrassing, shameless motherfuckers.

We as fans deserve so much better, Venky’s out.

You deserve more likes. 

Don't hang around for the likes, that would mean I'd need to get out more...

I know we all go on enjoying slating these plonkers but does anyone actually know the real reasons why no one is spending?

Because they don’t want to.

he`ll be cheap but his age may be a factor,don`t think he`ll be able to do 90 minutes🙂 and there is the cost of buying him out of his contract from radio lancashire,might be to much for us to pay

Would JE be able to understand him?

[had.e.nuff]

how many pages will this thread be before first signing is made im saying 234

[roverandout]

If I was Eustace I'd get out while my stock was High

[RevidgeBlue]

Don't know anything about Forshaw but given a side anchored to the bottom of the table are willing to let him go, this doesn't exactly scream the "quality" that the Club and Eustace were banging on about in advance of the transfer window.

We are literally discussing a very strong rumour that Adam Forshaw is imminent, so, whilst I'm not going to play the tedious page guessing game, I'm going to predict it will be a lot sooner than page 234.

The first good signing, that's a different story and may not happen at all.

[rovers11]

Forshaw. Cheap and cheerful so that one will happen. 

Constant downgrading of the squad every window. Baker wasn't great but we've even downgraded further with Forshaw. I guess we've come to expect it now.

John Fleck 2.0. Abysmal.

In the sense of being a cheap skate CM signing, sure. But he doesn't seem to have as bad an injury record and given he has played 16 Championship games this season is unlikely to be injured in his first game and out for the season.

The bigger problem is it sounds like he is past it and too shit for a relegation side.

My bit for the LT is winning plaudits 😆

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Sneak Forshaw's name out for this week then the week after next Tyler Morton signs. Morton doesn't seem as bad an option then compared to Forshaw

[davulsukur]

Plymouth spend £2m on a player and we sign their unwanted cast offs.

I thought we were "going for promotion" and they were fighting relegation

Very much feels like it's the other way around right now.

Add deliberate relegation from the Premiership , you have a recipe for oblivion , within 4 years..

No point trying to argue with someone who thinks £18m for Adam Wharton was good business and a player already on the books (Travis) and Cantwell are adequate replacement for a player of his calibre. 

Very weird bunch on the LT site. There was actually someone else arguing on there this morning that we were a "development" Club and they didn't want us spending any money in the transfer window in case it put the Club at risk.

No real fan would say that. Either not a Rovers supporter or a Club plant.
