I think we can guarantee though that we will sign players which are leaked from the selling club first, or from whats been posted on here. To date local press run with what was already common knowledge or claimed exclusives hours after the name was on here or twitter. I do miss the days of Andy Cryer and Nixon when he genuinely had good sources

I think he is just managing supporter expectations, give safe number which you dont get shot for later. So he is 3 would of been on side of caution imo

Tbh, like lots on here heard quite a few names, but given how close Rovers are keeping cards close to their chest bar what i've posted previously be daft to speculate further. If I was guessing, and im not negotiating the deals, i'd go Hirst, Styles plus another 1 perm, 1 loan. If BBD goes As above but it be the two mentioned plus two perm with Bowler and a striker from abroad. This is purely based on murmurings and nothing more.

I do yeah,

Whatever happens and i do think it will be 4 more not 3, its actually good going into Thursday for a deadline day worth looking forwards to, because if im being completely honest the last few have been awful.

Left 6 seasons ago, has barely played in fairness, however has managed 30 odd goals from little minutes, which is not too far off what Sam Gallagher who is 27 in a few weeks has scored his entire career.

In 3 and half seasons, last number half a season he scored. 28 25 21 11 If thats a busted flush i give up, only Shearer in the last 30 odd years returned those type of figures consistently

I recall lots wanting Rhodes gone as they felt he "only scores goals" and we need more than that. I'd take him back in at heartbeat, its not been great for him since he left, but was never blessed with pace so age of no concern. He had a knack of being right place, right time and put enough purchase on the ball to find the net. Give me him all day other our current lack of options

Couple spring to mind, remember Pete Thorne bagging hat-trick against Chorley pre-season, never broke through but had decent career in lower divisions Patrick Anderson, think off memory could be wrong he made his debut against sheff wed away? Never happened for him here but then played for some of biggest clubs in Europe afterwards including barcelona, bought him same week as Berg if i remember.

A player i did like the look off was Saydee at Bournemouth, very raw, but was a real handful for Norwich mid-week, be a decent pick up for someone him

Shit himself, and headed quickly in the direction of the stewards

I'm sure it will all work out

I'm trying to learn not to bite on here, did see one trying his best yesterday to WUM, but just moved past the post and carried on. This is a forum, 99% of us don't work in media or get paid to share things, its just discussion points which can get too overly personal. Given the above its not forum members job to get it right all or at all, we dont have to sell papers, or explain ourselves. Admittedly though i get far more agitated on twitter by keyboard warriors and their insults, so rather than ignore, they get it back double barrelled, or the one i saw at the club shop saturday who went white when i asked him "you got something to say, you had plenty on twitter?"

😆 🤣 😂 😹

Been offered a new contract, has a one year extension option, i genuinely dont know, just posting something I was told

Tbh, i had to google who he was, my brother thought he played for England in 66, so we both checked lol. Portsmouth fans like him, but league 1 and championship different, saying that players have done well at league 1 and kicked on after that Luca Toney etc. As an additional body, its zero risk. If it was like when we bought BBD who had scired 9 goals in nearly 60 apps id be quite worried, likewise if he was a a BBD replacement. The indications are very much he is much further along than the likes of Vale, butterworth and Leanard and on that basis a gamble worth taking. Other clubs like Blackpool etc have also registred interest in him this window, so he has not been without his suitors

I think deal sponsored by the mirror

Loan with options;

I think the SVB saga just shows how transfers can be on/off just like that, and its never properly on until its announced as done. Its not a new thing, its just this one has been played out more within the media and supporter base, than others. The club at no point ever indicated publically it was on or off, although its widely accepted by most of us it was likely to happen. Waiting for players until the said club has either signed a replacement or injury crisis has cleared up is common, but with it you always run the risk others can come in and gazump you. Hirst will be interesting now, as i was told that was done, given he didnt play for the under 23s after that, then im not sure why we aint got another sticker in the album yet? Going back to Styles, I was told it was adds ons that were the issue, and the agent didnt think it be an issue. Rovers confirmed he was a target, but some 3 weeks later, it hasnt happened and Styles continues to play for his club. You could say thats similar to BBD, as no one has met our conditions yet and remains available for selection. The deals done to date show we have a budget, some that havent happened YET, could fall in the category of us/them needing other things to fall into place which triggers the "all systems go"

He would fly him there himself, if it meant he was right

Dack won't be going anywhere, however if a decent bid comes in for the likes of Gallagher i think we will take the money given he is s high earner and we can redistribute his salary to two players. Out also Butterworth, Vale maybe on loan and Carter IF we sell BBD which triggers a perm move for Van Hecke. Either way, a busy few days ahead in-between having a game too

Do you not do the rovers social media?

Nixon will be re-writing his article right about now

In fairness to him, his wiki stats do not tell the full picture. He was scoring 40 goals plus at under 21 level whilst also scoring regurlar at various England age groups. He barely got minutes at Rotherham, and after Xmas last season his goals to game ratio was one of the best in the country. Leicester still think there is a player in there hence new contracts etc.

I believe thats much further down the line than whats being reported, As with Hyan , Brittain , Szmodics club being tight lipped with local media, probably to allow them to switch targets if BBD is sold. Although we are not reliant on BBD sale, his departure does increase transfer budget which brings other players into play
