If he was at another club, we couldn't afford to buy him.

His contract needs sorting asap

Two goals this season, flatters to deceive, never delivers and basically not good enough.

I posted earlier on the Bristol match thread, I watched the match with their commentary. Their commentator said everything good that Blackburn have done has come through Dolan.

I tended to agree

That's why you need to smart and clever in the recruitment department 

You are obsess with putting Hedges down at every opportunity. 

 

Scarlett wasn't unwanted by Oxford at all, but Spurs recalled him over the lack of playing time. He scored 4 goals in 20 games whilst their main 9 striker Mark Harris has 5 goals in 26 games. 

what do you based his other 2 loans were unsuccessful 

no I didn't. 

0 goals in 12 at Ipswich before being recalled. 4 in 34 in League 1 at Pompey. And now recalled from Oxford again because he couldnt get into the team.

Im guessing this is a transfer thats more of a guess/prediction rather than something you want or would deem acceptable to fix our lack of goals?

I understand your points made and agree somewhat but given the budget we have(which should be much higher and spending some decent money this window(£5m).

Maybe I misunderstood then - what did you mean by this? Were you saying that's the budget you believe we should have, but you know we don't? Are you upset with the club about this? I know I am.

Our 25man squad list and Eustace says he doesn’t expect any further outgoings 

personally would remove Hilton but don’t think any manager would leave themselves short on gks

The final Tuesday of last January’s window, Wharton was absolutely staying put, refusing to leave. By Wednesday he had a Palace shirt on, by Friday JDT had been banned from talking to the press and by the following Monday he’d gone.

I struggle to expect anything now even when the club tells me. They’ve entered Steve Kean territory where I’d check the label in my keks if he told me my name was Mike E.

[...]

Well, it's Monday. 

This has been the most frustrating month not gonna lie. Usually excited for the run up to Friday especially with a game on. 

Really is the Final Countdown.

Not at all, we just dont agree at all

We don't know why we haven't tho don't we? 

 

Settling in? Overlook the points he cant last longer 50/55 mins? Not the game changing loan signing we hope for? 

 

??

This guy isn't a novice when he has European football this season

He has 8 days left to prove you wrong. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Rovers sign Spurs's striker Dane Scarlett on loan. Then add Kargbo and a cheap/loan left back in

Yous re missing the point it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing - if you think we haven’t failed in this window already that’s on you played 4 games (1 was a refix they wouldn’t have been prepared for) 3/12 points with a depleted squad 

ACD certainly hasn’t been breathtaking but he still adds more than most other players in that position that we have and as pointed out has done more than hedges

didnt say the fella was a novice I said Eustace wanted experience something you have on numerous times relayed in this forum - and to add to this the main part was we aren’t competing with Leeds Luton etc a point you conveniently dismissed 

and we do know why there’s no money being provided the answers are there for all to see - complete lack of ambition or care from the club it isn’t a coincidence that each of the last 3 seasons or so when we have been in a really good position come Jan everything just stops

its right infront of us all to see

Deadline day is Monday 3rd Feb, for some reason this year.

Yes, we did have an advantage in that we were playing on the Friday night, which gave us a head start.

We then sabotaged that by rearranging the QPR game on 4th February, which was also ridiculous considering the injury situation.

Need 2 attackers in before Wednesday it's as simple as that. They've had plenty of time.

Realistically we know nothing will happen before nobbers. Expect 1 on Friday then 2 on Monday AM.

So deadline day a week today which means zero chance of a new face being available for Preston and another 3 points in jeopardy.

If the club can do very little, or nothing wrong in the opinion of some people, due to their unwavering support, that you will not get them to see reason I am afraid.

People like Pasha and Waggott are relying on certain people, remaining loyal to the core, not matter what and although, to an extent, I do admire it, right now, it is a very dangerous, thing to do, given how much contempt these people really, have for us.

Last season I'd have happily said Cheerio. This season, in my opinion, he has been our player of the season along with Tronstad. 

I would want at least 5 million for someone to take our first choice keeper.

That's the guy who said a swap deal was gonna happen between Dolan and Brewster... he also saw someone's Football Manager inspired suggestion of Dereck Kutesa on here, then posted on X that we were linked with him 🤣

Needless to say, stick this one under the bullshit column!

[roversfan99]

Yep, one to be ignored.

Very true also ridiculous was the rearranging of the Pompey game . Happen as well we did we won !

These 2 games were thoughtless or were they ??

Who will man the Fax on Feb 3rd , they will all be in London ..

 Danger Within !!

[ageoftherover]

The "owners are well meaning incompetents who sqandered away our PL/financial status and don't have the ability to get it back" narrative, would potential hold water if they weren't currently, apparently once again, squandering the unique opportunity that comes with selling a once in a generation talent and a 29 y/o who caught fire to PL clubs for close to 40m in the past year. Not to mention having a manager who, despite such talent leaving the club, has the squad within touching distance of the pay-offs.

Like, they couldn't possibly hope for a better opportunity to make things right if that's what they wanted.

Not that I believe it for a second but there is no way in hell we would get 5 mill for pears, would be a similar fee to kaminsky

He does usually get injury timelines correct.

But yes agree
