Your missing the point entirely although not surprising as your blinkered with your views and don’t accept or like being challenged on anything 

You are entitled to your opinion just like I am. 

Challenging me on anything you wish but don't accept me to agree with yourself tho

Another 20 year old kid we have no hope of buying.

Doesn't look fast either - is he a CM? CAM?

Better than shrugging my shoulders and watching us slide down the table 

Protests etc would bring a little media attention

We need them gone.

Boro in for Travers and Whittaker.West Brom supposedly signing a lad from Belgium for 2.5 million 

I honestly think our only hope is if the Indian govt absolutely crush them in this fraud case and force them to sell us. 

Otherwise they can keep kicking the can down the road forever - they have the money to do so.

Probably not true (although you do find truthful rumours about us from foreign press sometimes), but 11 caps for Poland at age 20 is pretty impressive. They only paid 800k for him...you'd think a permanent transfer might prove shrewd, or an option/promotion obligation to buy. If we were an ambitious, non-basketcase club of course.

Sheffield United had a 25 man squad in and now are bringing in 5 players 

Middlesbrough had a 25 man squad and are now in for 2 players 

Burnley had a 25 man squad and have added 

But they will either sell or loan players they don't want

Chaddy some of the players in our 25 man squad are not promotion chasing quality, they play minimally and an ambitious club with a decent budget would replace them, and leave them out the squad or sell/loan them

So you would leave them out of the squad despite Eustace wanted them here

If we only sign 2 players a winger and a striker and ignore midfield and left back we will fall away 

our promotion hinges on the quality of our striker signing. 

I wouldn't sign another centre midfielder this window.

You can't expect us to have as good a second half of the season with two of the better midfielders in the league out and replaced by Buckley and Forshaw 

Surely you recognise that Buckley and Forshaw are nowhere near as good as Travis and Tronstad ffs

they are different type of players to Tronstad and Travis, so we have to adapt but Travis almost back and Tronstad's injury we don't know the length of time he will be out for.

Nixon now linking Hull with O'Brien. LOL

Maybe alternative to O'Brien.  Nixon now saying Hull are in for him and may contribute more to his wages than us.

Why can't we sell or loan Buckley or someone else and replace them with better

Makes sense, they seem to be splashing the cash this window.

Travis and Tronstad have been two of our top performers. We have already seen a decline in results by just missing 1 of them 

Midfield has to be a priority now.Its just nonsense that you feel Buckley and Forshaw are adequate replacements

A quality striker and winger will be no good to us with a powder puff midfield

Bizarre link, nothing at all on other socials or even google, however seems some attraction on that post.

Loan with obligation would be great signing if it's true.

Brandon Thomas-Asante according to Elliott Jackson and SSN 

Gestede confirmed how transfers process happened in the last fans forum meeting

Which you say had changed from last summer, which funnily enough changed from the summer prior to that.

Either you haven't ready my post or you're choosing to ignore my comment.

 

I said you're mindful enough to notice we change how we operate frequently, but don't pull up the powers that be on the high frequency of those changes.

My answer hasn't changed from the last time you asked. only asked less than 3 days ago. 

Eustace picked the player from the shortlist present to him by the recruitment team he wants first

Have I said this but my focus is on the quality the striker we signed. That will decide whether we get top 6 or not. 

Why would you seriously leave out players like Forshaw when we just signed them. Glad to see you written them after less a 90 mins in a Rovers shirt. 

no point having players here if not the squad. 

But on Dembele, he was not chosen despite Eustace's wishes. Therefore to have total faith in the club getting what we need purely on the basis of having a good head coach even though he clearly doesnt have total say (nor does he set the budget, in fact he seems totally in the dark based on his press conferences) seems a bit misplaced/deluded.

We dont need the whole "stop writing players off" narrative. He obviously wont be left out and I will judge him as he plays, as I did on Saturday when he was crap. My point was that this 25 man squad isnt an excuse not to sign players. The most likely and obvious solution is to shed players who arent good enough. We are lumbered with Forshaw now. But the likes of Sigurdsson, Dolan, Hedges could maybe be shunted out. Failing that, a couple of non contributors could be simply not registered.

You clearly think that Travis returning from injury, Buckley and Forshaw is a trio of midfielders capable of sustaining a play off push.

the speed rovers move on transfers makes this a complete non starter,we`de manage to sell him but would`nt have time to get an adequate replacement in,that lot in the recruitment shed are about as much use as an artex canoe along with pasha and swag

A squad list can be changed (both adding or removing a player) as many times as a club wants during a transfer window.

So if we had 26 players at some point during January we could literally pick which one isn’t on our list on a match by match basis.

The final squad list must then be submitted within 24 hours of the window closing.

The summer budget was done via transfer committee whilst this window given Gestede's public comments, they present Eustace was 3 to 5 players shortlist and he picked the one he wants. Different situation. 

You clearly didnt know about the rules about squad registration and tied yourself in knots. So we can get 3 players in if we sell/leave out Sigurdsson so which 2 position do you not sign players for cos you want a left back, centre midfielder, 2 wingers and striker so which will it be please? Thanks for answering the question in advance? 

You ALSO ‘clearly didn’t know about the rules about squad registration and tied yourself in knots’ to be fair.

Stones, glass houses etc.

With names linked and the expectation of no surprises then I think we'll bring in that Kargbo. Low wages and won't cost too much. Just been watching quite a long reel on him. Make of it what you will but he certainly ticks the pace we need.

 

Get him signed up .. showed lots of qualities there we are sadly missing

Chaddy didn't watch Forshaw on Saturday and his blunder which cost us a point doesn't seem to be shown on any highlights. So in Chaddyland it didn't happen.

Travis is almost back. Tronstad we don’t know yet. 

Another Midfielder isn't priority for me. A quality striker is the priority for me. Number 1 priority

How do you want me to pull the powers up given I have no meetings or contacts with them? I'm not on the fan forum committee.
