This january window business is just getting stupider and stupider every season. Not just at Rovers but cross the entire EFL. This season EVERYONE needs a striker or a forward. And the respective owners of clubs just dally along promising strikers, Ronaldhinio or the next Haaland whether you are in League 2 or PL. A way to balance the books perhaps? Keep putting things off? A way for the relegated clubs to use their financial muscle to steal players from competing clubs? I don’t care anymore.
So please just go back to transfers only in summer. That way the respective owners will have to plan for the entire season, and not just wait and see if things are ok come january. It is the same shitshow every season and it is just getting worse. We - fans and supporters and particulary those that travel - deserve better and need to know that the middle of the season won’t define the entire season based on transfers…..like losing your top striker or midfielder to another club to keep the lights on. It is just stupid so stop it!
But by all means I would love some mouthwatering transfers in january, but the more I think about it I’d rather have that player at the start of the (pre-)season. This thing is just disruptive and dumb. Get it over with and roll on with the rest of the season. Give me a couple of wins and all is forgiven. Rant over.
