Seen the guys stats? Third best assists in the champ, 5 goals, second highest amounts of dribbles with the ball, quick, great dead balls - Iv never seen him play but that along with QPRs reaction suggest he’s no D lister...much better pedigree than Madison

I don’t for one minute think anyone posting on here wants Rovers to lose. 100%. BUT I do see (and I’m not alone) that should Rovers continue spending as has been reported that it will piss on quite a few people’s chips on here. The funny part is watching them. Rather than just say ‘I was wrong’ they go very quiet and then change the narrative putting emphasis on other potential negatives like ‘we left it too late’ or ‘at least recruit the positions where we are short’. Ultimately those two statements cannot really be quantified because no one knows what TM’s strategy actually is. How do we know we aren’t timing this perfectly in terms of quality vs cost? The wingers thing baffles me too because TM hasn’t played wingers since came here. Even when he has wingers at his disposal he inverts them so they’re cutting in. So why would HE buy wingers now? And if he doesn’t, how can people claim he hasn’t got those targets when he never even wanted them? Weird. The narrative coming from TM and the club is that he wants another 4/5 and based upon the reliable sources and the bids being reported he wants a CF on loan with option to buy, a marquee midfielder, another DM possibly, Cover at CB and cover at GK. In all honesty I’d only be upset if we didn’t get another striker.

Fair enough. I don’t think you can buy a decent striker for £4m hence why I’d loan one...but we’ll see!! ??

Just for tmrw pal. We need CB and GK cover but happy to do those after tmrw ??

Ok, here’s my wish list for 5pm. - Chapman (£1.5m) - Striker (loan with view to perm) - Big money (£4m) creative midfielder

Eh? You’re concerned that all the players fit into the same (Mowbray’s) style? But at the same time CANT see a coherent team formation? AND you’d prefer us to be buying less quality and more hard workers? This a joke?

Ahhhh this guy!! Good to have you back. Get an early night pal, we need you fresh for our updates tmrw! ???

Hey, apologies if this comes across a bit rude but what was the name of the poster on here who broke the Armstrong deal. He/she was absolutely on the money!! Would love some info from that guy!

The deal they’re chasing is surely Gallagher on loan with a view to permanent?

Freeman surely a better option than Madison based purely on his experience and stats in the Championship?

Absolutely pal. But I don’t know many die hard Rovers fans who’d burn that type of cash on the club. Millionaire or not...

Disclaimer- I’m NOT A FAN OF THE VENKYS. As Iv said before from several inside people...Venkys never refuse to pay the bill. They’ve had advisors around them at various stages with ‘strategies’ that meant lots of their money (millions) were spent on non frontline costs. I mean our agents fees have been astronomical over the years. The accounts show that Venkys have no issues spending money. If they’d spent 90% of it on transfers and infrastructure we’d be in a very different place right now...£110m+ out of their own pockets?

Be honest. A bit of you will be gutted if we finish up spending £7-8m on fees this window won’t it? Kinda kills a few of the narratives on here...??‍♂️

Jesus!! Owen Coyle on SS News transfer centre! That has put me RIGHT off. Wtf

Yes mate. 100% agree. Chapman is absolutely class. He was amazing in the matches he played. Changed games on his own. The only negatives to this guy are the injuries.

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16404344.money-available-to-strengthen-further-admits-rovers-boss/ What’s this opinion based upon pal? ???‍♂️

This info or just opinion?

Oztumer!? Absolutely no chance were we interested in him.nowhere near good enough.

From the links it looks like they want Bauer, McGinn, Gallagher and Chapman - ?

My feeling is that we’re looking at McGinn and Bauer permenant and Gallagher on loan before 5pm on Thursday.

Well that does it!! I like Rich but he doesn’t usually stick his neck on the block like this...if he’s admitting an interest in McGinn it’s fair to say that we are probably trying to get that one over the line by Thursday!! ?

Ahhh ok so he would play as one of the two then? Really can’t see this happening. Would have to sell Whittingham and loan one of Davenport or Travis to even fit him in.

That’s just utter shite from Nixon trying to back himself after saying we didn’t have a pot to piss in all summer. He’s such a bell.

The McGinn link is a weird one. What position is he? I know he’s a midfielder but is he going to sit in one of the two positions filled by Smallwood, Evans, Travis and Davenport or as one of the three attacking mids? I really can’t see us signing another DM. Also seems like Celtic are in the driving seat....BUT I don’t think the Daily Record is a ‘fake news’ outlet...so there probably is an interest. Be a fantastic signing too! On a separate note, it would be a great bit of housekeeping if we could get rid of the likes of Hart, Caddis, Gladwin and Whittingham. Plus loaning out Nuttall (When reinforcements arrive) plus Tomlinson.

Don’t worry mate. Bearing in mind the added potential of racial / cultural connotation behind his choice of ‘ya noes’ he’ll definitely get ‘reined’ in. Watch. PS - I actually prefer your accurate description. ??
