January Transfer window

[rovers11]

Has anyone in the Championship had a worse window than us? That's a genuine question as I've not followed the ins and outs at every club.

From the bits I have seen, I struggle to see a club who has had a worse one than us.

Looks like a cross between Jimmy Quinn and Chris Wood. More likely to be a cross between Jimmy Saville and a Woodentop.

Oh deary deary me.

I thought he looked a sleep deprived David Platt.

And no that's not rhyming slang.

Maybe we have and that's the problem.

There is no money being released into the club. Waggot is lying to the fans to keep cashing his cheques for as long as possible. His shadowy overlord is doing similar, happy to keep this gravy train rolling until it careens off the tracks in about 12 months time when the last of the Szmodics / Wharton money is spent on day-to-day business.

That's the man that made us who we are. They need to know how we feel after this, for the sake of his legacy because its flame is almost snuffed out and we owe it to him to save it.

He's not that shadowy, he's just a prick in a pullover. He doesn't even hide away these days.

You want some help do you John?

Here’s a defender that can’t get into a league one club, has-been centre midfielder from Plymouth and a striker not playing for another relegation candidate 👍🏻

[BigHoz]

Should be making decent signings now whilst we have fucking money. No big assets to sell in the near future then we can’t spend naff all due to FFP so pissed off. 

[Tugayisgod]

Nothing confirmed yet of course, so may not be true. Can only hope ...

Leeds & Bristol City  have apparently not signed anyone.

Riberio is a decent signing but beck has been one of our strongest players this year so it’s not exactly one to come into the first 11

They've still had a better window than us then

[Ricky]

I think it was probably only really Chaddy who believed that the Forshaw and Sanderson signings were so we could spend some money on the forward line. It was clear that we were going to have another shocking window. Well we were told to judge it at the end of the window, and I don’t see how anyone will be able to judge it as anything less than awful.

I think they meant on attacking the squad and fan base's morale, by concentrating the funds into Swag's pension.

Allows us to play Beck in a more attacking role. Ribiero is actually not a bad signing tbf.

Chaddy is quickly preparing his 'lets see where we are at in May' script 😂

Eustace after signing Sanderson and Forshaw: 

"The two lads have cost the club next to nothing. They're very good deals that we have been able to get. That will, hopefully, put us in a strong position to focus on the two key positions we want to bring in which is in the forward areas."

"The most important area is the top end. These are good deals for the football club but now we are focusing at the top end where we, hopefully, will bring in top quality to help the group."

To then be scraping bottom of the barrel for dross like Woodrow is laughable and Eustace will surely feel betrayed.

[yankfan]

We aren’t going to being in a single player that would go into our first XI then?  If everyone is fit I’m not sure the Forshaw, Ribiero, Woodrow make the bench. 
 

are we not in a playoff position?  This is madness. 

[MB Rover]

Don’t suppose anyone knows Woodrow’s number plate? I’ll make the sacrifice

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

I keeping everything crossed that they are playing brinkman ship with another club over a really good striker - and the Luton guy is just a smoke screen. Unfortunately  then I woke up 🤪

Hopefully apologising to half of the fan base on here to for giving them grief for 30 odd days.

Woodrow fits the bill. Cheap, no other championship clubs after him, low wages. Oh and not very good. That one has a big chance of coming off. 

We are seriously building a midtable league one team here when we're FIFTH in the championship.

We might as well have given Mafoumbi a chance up front ffs.
