We will have a defender or 2(hopefully) by that deadline. we need a new defender next to Lenihan to be 1st choice. Ive said who I prefer to sign. I couldnt comment on foriegn players as I dont watch any now

Possible 2nd keeper target

no doubts from me at this stage JH. maybe if a week time its the same I might start getting worried. The window hasn't ended. surely the time to judge is next Friday not now.

Mowbray didn't make any such quote. That is Rich Sharpe's believe

really? clear to see as day mate at Barrow, Blackpool and Bury

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17802331.rovers-turn-attention-overseas-defender-search/ Mowbray is keen to add up to two new defenders, and hopes to conclude them before the season opener against Charlton on Saturday, with the transfer window open until August 8. That includes overseas permanent signings, with Fortuna Dusseldorf defender Robin Bormuth one of several under consideration, though the boss wouldn't be drawn on the identity of his targets. Mowbray says targets have been identified and deals worked on Rovers have so far been unable to nail down their top European targets, but remaining hopeful, Mowbray said: “We have spoken a lot about the recruitment department and wanting it to grow. “It’s alright trying to buy players from Gillingham and wherever else we were looking, if you look at the teams we’re aspiring to be like, you have to be in the market place to find these players. “We have been close with some signings but they aren’t easy.

I went down, my step daughter thoroughly enjoyed her day, She got loads of pics and autographs off the players. I think Rovers are massively over charging for soft drinks and foods like Pies, hot dogs and burgers. I tried the chips and the quality is massively better compare to last season. Meister Dog is just a hot dog in a finger roll.

Yes Rev. Played that way at Barrow, Bury and Blackpool. Its something that Mowbray and his staff have been working on all pre season

I see a couple more yet coming in. JH, wait until the window has ended please before overall judging. Can I please asked why you are disappointed with pre season and our business? how do we know that City didn't change their terms or the player change his mind and wanted guarantee 1st team football? Do you really think he was the only player we bid for in the last 2 weeks? I don't. Rovers will be putting offers in for players and seeing which one gets accept I think Evans will be the back up for Travis and Johnson. Mowbray seems to see Buckley more of a number 10 then a centre mid player.

The fomation gets the best out of Rothwell and Armstrong. I dont see Graham starting alot.

Who is currently in charge of the under 23's? Any potential coaches there watching the game? Was Mowbray there watching?

I dont know how you can blame any of those 3 without knowing the full story why each transfer doesnt happen. They will be number of reasons why deals dont happen. Thats life.

big tall defender Sharpe has broken the link I agree we have the money. How do you know that we haven't had bids rejected for defenders already this summer? clubs know we want a defenders so prices go up. surely now time they were realistic as they will need money for their own signings

Who is Hall? what are his qualities? Venus is abit more like DoF at the minute imo. I do feel that you are right about Johnson. I would be happy if he took over from Mowbray when he does leave Yes I agree OJ

We dont know if we had bids rejectes for players but it isn't leak to the press. Press didnt know anything about the Johnson/Walton transfers until a couple of days before.

Is the transfer window close? Judge the squad after the transfer window closes. Not now

Sounds like he didnt want to fight for his spot..was never player I felt we going to better than Mulgrew or Lenihan. More of back up imo. What media coverage? I dont recall a great deal. Maybe I didnt get caught up in all the media coverage due to my thought it would never happen due to his wages. If thats was the case my apologises. I do agree we shouldnt rely on loan players and never back to the Coyle time where we have 6 loans at one point. How much did Stoke spend on Vokes(7 mil), Afode(12 mil) Ince(10 mil), McClean(5 mil), Clucas(6mil)? Thats 40 million pounds in 1 season. And couldnt even get top half. Finish below us. .

Bauer was good have to fight for his place. was he up for the challenge? clearly not. gone to North End. Maybe City change the terms or the player didn't want to come after talks. who knows. maybe Mowbray will discuss it tomorrow. did we ever want Assombalonga considering his wages? was going to happen in a month of Sundays. Millwall need 1st choice keeper, left back and centre midfielder. Look at Cook's comments or the actually transfers that have happen so far this summer. Nothing outstanding and where the transfer business of a club stand out. Some people will point out Stoke transfers but for me, their signings are squad/back up players mainly apart from Powell.

Back up what I have been saying all summer that the transfer market as been slow and clubs aren't willing to drop their asking price to get rid of players or sell players to buy some signings so far

I think the deal for Aradabioyo is off due to the lack of guarantee playing time and the financial penalties if he doesn't play. I think we should be going after someone like Michael Hector or Jake Cooper. I also think why we haven't someone like that in so far as clubs asking price we have been quote for a quality player we need is current too night. Realistic, clubs are now going have too considering the amount of signings certain clubs need. Most clubs need 2 or 3 signings at least with 12 days to go of the transfer window. As per usual(since these transfer window) the last week of window will be chaos and utter madness

was West Brom under 23 manager last season and took over as caretaker manager when Moore and his team was sacked

We have changed our style of play from last season I would agree with this I am heard we are. I'm still hoping we get at least 2 more after the City defender on loan. Still hoping for Cooper from Millwall. The Market hasn't been busy at this stage as I would expect. Alot of teams need 2 or 3 signings at least and we are one of this clubs. IMO, Some clubs need 4 or 5 signings like Reading and Wigan. Currently this week they have only been 15 transfers all week I put a 20 pounds on us getting promotion. got odds of 10/1.
