Open Twitter and have dozens of notifications about other clubs signing players and what have Rovers done so far. Fuck all. Sounds about right. Fucking cretins. Might be worse than last January  window this which is an amazing achievement. 

Annoying isn’t it!

Teams around us, and way below us in the table are signing some top players… and we’re pissing around as usual, unwilling to pay an extra £200k for a lad who’s apparently been a target for a while (Kargbo).

Shambles. They’re at it again lads, buckle up!

They only want 1.2 m E for him!

Is the budget that bad?

I got told yesterday we're spending a few million, I'm afraid not on players though.

Apparently the steel etc on the stadium requires some kind of fire treatment, I don't know the exact details but told it'll cos a few mil. If he hasn't used it already, that's Waggotts ready made excuse for the lack of transfer spend. I don't tend to read fans forums minutes etc so it may have already been mentioned.

We're taking spl rejects now. Oh joy

Ability wise I think Cissoko would be the better option, he seems abit quicker as well...Can't see us going for both.

Plymouth fans say he doesn't track back and doesn't work hard.

He's also injured at the moment apparently.

His heading ability must really differ depending on which side the cross comes in from.

Think they have steadied the ship somewhat

Mates a Hibs fan.

Youan was great for Hibs in his first season there on loan. Not so great his second. He has been injured and played 13 games. Hibs fans talk about him downing tools and having a bad attitude. Had a bad reaction to being hurled abuse for his perfomances apparently. 

 

We’re down to our ‘Z’ list .

Surely prefer a permanent?

[TheRevAshton]

Am I right to assume that Cissoko would be a loan? Haven’t seen Nixon’s article

[AVE1875]

At least this Hibs bloke meets the U21 requirement... for 2 months...

[roverblue]

None of these sound like what Eustace described as “2 or 3 quality championship players”

Meant to just miss one game but has missed nearly a month...Hibs fans seem to think he's been holding out to leave so an 'injury' could be all smoke.

Depends what quality, average quality?

Wouldn't mind that Barlaser link being true, he'd slot right into the squad with Sonny out and bring genuine competition for a place (for both Sonny & Trav) when he's back.

With it likely to be a permanent signing, i'd probably favour this over a loan move for O'Brien.

You need to have quality in depth, a good starting XI simply isn't enough.

Boro fans don't seem to like Barlaser and say he's lightweight, doesn't tackle and becomes a passenger.

We've got enough of that already.

Shame he's not great

Both Cissoko and Youan fit that category....Both improve our attacking line so not sure Eustace can complain....Only thing Eustace can moan about is how slow we are moving!

I think all of them are loans apart from Kargbo.
