As a bit of fun, what's the most ludicrous excuse we can feasibly see the club think of for failing a transfer.  

I'm going signalling issues on train lines

The curry house wouldn't deliver, so they all had to drive and pick it up.

The hastily and insanely rearranged QPR fixture and preparations for that meant that there was insufficient time / opportunity to concentrate on getting deals over the line.

They will use the fact John Park left and they couldn't bring in their preferred target as his replacement in time 

If we don't sign any player of decent pedigree tomorrow then no excuses should be accepted by any of the fan base 

I do think Danns looks a real talent and potentially could have an impact like Archer and Cannon did but if he is the striker brought in then money needs to be spent on a right winger who has goals in his game or another number 10.If we got a ten similar in style to Szmodic a player who gets in the box and has an eye for goal then I'd seriously consider putting Cantwell on the left or on the bench he hasn't done enough in the final third so far

Well then we literally have tomorrow tp go

They spent 40 mil on cans of Fosters for the Burnley game so no funds left

[OnionBalaji]

John said the squad don’t need bad influences and we are confident in what we have 

plus with Ohashi and Tronstad back in 4 weeks they’ll be like new signings

Let’s be thankful to our owners that we are within FFP limits. We will get finch bakery to do some cakes in the fanzone and a posh burger kitchen too that you can buy for that feel good factor going into the run in

 

 

and we will have the Icelandic clap at home games going forward so WEAR YOUR COLOURS - home shirt stock available in the roverstore

the indian secret service arrive and tell  everyone to stop what they were doing and cease all operations,all the venky family have been arrested and the club is now the property of the indian govt,who intend to auction the club off quickly,waggott is also arrested for assisting venkys in their crooked exploits😁

thats one transfer window i would`nt mind failing to buy anyone

[Penwortham Blue]

They must be talking to targets so late in the day, I’m amazed that so little appears to be breaking 24 hours before the deadline.

There is one absolute certainty.

We will miss a deadline with a screw up.

To be fair it’s genius from waggot and rudy…can’t mess up a deadline day signing this year if you don’t try to sign anyone!

Looks to have reasonable pedigree but we need a CF, that’s been the priority for about 3 years, FFS

I know I shouldn’t bite, but there’s a chance that if Yuri is a real target, then it could be that this is just the first one to reveal itself…🤷🏽‍♂️

[imy9]

Excellent pedigree, and if Beck is going to play further forward that would be a great signing- if it’s one of at least three

[Rover1984]

Only signed for them in the summer. What could have gone wrong in 6 months
