I think what people are frustrated by is the message “1500 more season tickets” as that implied some level of serious business. I think most on this board would have been delighted with what we have got now plus say Maddison, Bauer and one decent striker. Then after the window if TM had said “we still have some money left” the fans would be amazed and very positive about the summer we’ve had. However the club keep failing to meet self imposed targets and driving some fans crazy.

I may ask to be put into a coma for a week as all this transfer shenanigans is driving me crazy!

Sylla would be terrible. Why would QPR sign Hemed and Wells otherwise.

We need a proper CB, not a reinvented one. When was the last time we had a proper old fashioned ugly CB. We are desperate for one, and Bauer would have been ideal.

Not as bad as Hanley, Henley and Hendrie!

It should be a 12 month pay as you play contract with an immediate break clause if necessary if he starts playing up.

Oh well at least Rodwell is better than some of the sh!t we had on the bench last night. Let’s hope TM can keep his head right.

We’ve all repeatedly said we need a CB, Winger and CF before the window shuts. As it stands we’re stockpiling CM’s.

I just don’t really like short term loans unless they are significantly better or different than what we’ve already got in the squad.

Reed is a poor signing if it’s just a loan with no option.

Rodwell at centre half?

Would Reed come with an option to buy?

Who are the 2 imminent deals then?

Would like some decent loans with binding permanent deals Tony.

The club has shot itself in the head never mind the foot if they bring Rodwell on a free and a couple of Prem loans. Especially when Waggott said he expected to shift 1500 more season tickets.

It looks like Brereton in that photo!

Desperate for new additions as was obvious with the team we had out second half. But we should know that this Rovers team under Mowbray do not simply lay down and die. Fantastic to rally like that without Dack, Armstrong and Oalmer who were all key on Saturday. Let’s hope we get Dack and KP back for Brentford and hopefully some new signings.

Desperately need Brereton in with all these injuries. Approaching an injury crisis at the minute.

Rodwell on a pay as you play only. If not I’m getting my pitchfork out.

At least we get to gaze at our brand new LED advertising boards if the game is sh!t. Back in the big time lads!

Clubs with that finance available are already well stocked.

People say “he’ll be playing second fiddle”. Exactly. He’ll be tutored by Graham for this season and when he leaves Brereton will step up to the mark.

It’s 11 days since the window closed, not 3 weeks! ?

No he isn’t. He is clarifying with other clubs and the EFL what their definition of “with a view to buy” is. There is no indication given whether TM wants it to be legally binding or not. He might want to stop another club swooping in January which causes Forest to cancel the deal and get more money for him. Equally Forest want to protect themselves and stop us sending him back for nowt if he is a dud. It’s effectively a permanent transfer in all but name. We’ve gone over this many times before.

Mowbray states “it still feels like a pretty open transfer window” which to me means that clubs are just continuing as if the permanent window is still open. If the Brereton deal was a simple loan with a pull-out clause there is not a chance it would take this long to negotiate. And to the people who come out with claptrap about Forest having all the cards. Bollocks. They have a 19 year old on the books who knows they wanted shut of him and they’ve spent handily in the market already and need to recoup some of that back.
