Really would be nice to top the day off with Brereton confirmed by tonight. Got a funny feeling that it’s done but they will want to do some ott media twitter jazz to announce it. Just let us enjoy this moment and announce

No confidence with that team, 2-0 Brentford

Don’t be costing 38 million in transfer fees if there wasn’t something about you that people liked. I’m not saying he would pull of trees these days but I’d be happy to give him a chance. Smallwood has never played or succeeded at this level

Nah don’t agree with that, Davenport has just signed and by all accounts can hold his own in the division. I’d keep Travis for athleticism and versatility. If nyambe gets injured I’d want Travis there. As much as Rodwell would be a gamble I’d rather him in the mid than Smallwood who has shows he can’t cut it at this level

Can see Smallwood being shipped to Bradford or similar

I hate the posters that imply that they are in the know, It frustrates me more when I semi believe them then it turns out to be bs. If you do have some sort of source then I apologise but the fantasists can f right off

Kieran Clark available on loan, I’d be all over that

No issues with splashing the cash as long as there is enough to go round and cover other areas. If we are blowing the whole lot on one lad tho I would be a bit miffed as there has been other deals done over summer that look a bit better value for money. In saying that, I don’t know a lot about Brereton, I’d be lying to say that I’d heard of him prior to deadline move but I’d be excited to see him in a rovers shirt and see what he is about and it’s a blessing that rovers are back in the champ with this kind of money to spend after the dark uncertain times of being relegated and looking like we were on a massive slide with no end in sight.

Interested to see Davenport when he is fit. Think a mid of Palmer, Davenport , Bennett and Rothwell could be decent. Dack behind either Armstrong or graham

Gallagher most likely for me, think chapman is on verge of boro team, Maddison link is doing my head in as have had no indication. Would be chuffed with Brereton all the same

Didn’t we have Gary Croft as rb who scored against Chelsea? I might be a few years ahead

Away, if we could get gestede back I’d be jumping for joy

There’s a shock, Smallwood not good enough as I said constantly from about February last season to much criticism. He is rotten

I’d be ok with Huth, the rest no thanks

Pretty sure Wells was part of the vydra deal

Honestly if I hear Maddison is coming one more time, until there is a concrete link from a reliable source please stfu

I don’t think the offer to forest was accepted, certainly never seemed close. SSN broke it and dismantled it in about 5 minutes. I can’t see champ teams or lg1 teams loaning out their best players when they have their own aspirations to deal with. Transfers are much more attractive than loans, so I think we will struggle for quality

I’m struggling to see the benefit of a team allowing these loans you talk of, 1- they will say yea come back in January 2- why deplete their own squad when they can’t use the money to sign replacements. Means the only loans that will be available is big team u23 players, which won’t be for long term and no future fee agreed. today was the day to make our squad ready and competitive and it hasn’t happened. Think a good few are clinging on to these fabled loans that won’t happen

For me- horrific

I wish the people who claim to be itk and we are doing this or that had two strikes and they are out if they get found out to be talking utter bs. Why do that just to get comments? Should stick to actual links and who fans want not made up nonsense that just turns to disappointment

Only Bolton and Rotherham have poorer squads in my opinion, long season ahead without additions

Squad badly needed improvements, Williams, Smallwood, evans, Conway, nuttall, Samuel, downing, caddis, gladwin all not good enough for this league. Money to spend apparently and where exactly have we strengthened. Our forward is 32 now and wasn’t mobile in his prime. Even leaving is this late is a shambles. Don’t know why we have been spoon fed rubbish all summer if our perm signings are 3 unproven players at this level and a stop gap from Chelsea

Mowbray has ballsed this big time, I knew we should’ve got hurst in when we had the chance. Can only see relegation - relegation dogfight with this squad

I like chapman but I would be underwhelmed yes and fearful for season ahead. Would feel like we were promised a lot and had little delivered

Is folk taking the pee with this, every page has a comment about what about this Lithuania lad, isn’t a first team signing so enough already. Like a bad running joke
