Shocked to see so many Wigan fans excited at the prospect of taking Mulgrew on loan. Surely alarms bells would be ringing if we’re allowing the club captain to go out on loan to a rival?

Absolute nailed on that TM will him at centre back

Live scenes over Fulham as we speak

Announce Mitchell Candlin ?

Whittingham next to go. Ruthless https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/august/whittingham-departs-rovers/

I suspect everything is agreed, just waiting on boro to finalise their deals. Looks like Adomah and saville done. Fully Expect HC to be announced in the next 40 mins

Looks like George Saville is due to have a medical at boro this morning and puncheon deal likely. Would think that would allow HC to sign for us on loan. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/16609636.saville-and-puncheon-deals-close-but-middlesbrough-are-set-to-lose-braithwaite/

Jesus wept. Some people are just never happy. Same sort who write reviews on tripadvisor complaining about a wobbly toilet seat in a hotel.

Surprised we haven’t been linked with the highly rated North Korean bloke Pa-Si Wing-Ah

Yeah, pretty reliable. Midlands mail correspondent. I don’t think he would put his neck on line if not true. Whay I have found funny is people quoting the tweet with Nixon copied in asking him if true ?‍♂️

Looking like it could be done finally and a lot less than the £12m talked about

Didn’t we have most of business done early last year? I could be wrong? At least this year we’ve had a decent enough start. Leaving it this late to bring in players is definitely not ideal. Big 6 days coming up, that will define our season. 3 decent additions and I think we can push for a top 10 finish. Anything else and it might be a bit of a struggle as injuries and fatigue takes it toll.

Bolasie gone to Villa then. Some signing that if he stays fit.

Same guy who reported it earlier is now pretty much saying it’s BS

Don’t get your knickers in a twist. So we are potentially signing a qpr reserve suggests you think it holds weight. This David McIntyre chap is a freelance, just reading his twitter feed, he has also said don’t hold your breath on this one, suggesting it ain’t happening. Everyman and his dog knows we are after forwards. God knows who else we will be linked with in the next 7 days. Did someone post they wonder what Chris Brown is up to these days?

Must be true if Nixon has tweeted.

Spot on. There has to be some middle ground, we don’t have an endless pit of money like the other clubs spending big. Why gamble so much on “potential”? If it doesn’t work out, then what? We’ve put all our eggs in one basket and I doubt we will get anywhere near that sort of funding from the owners again.

£12-£14m for Brereton is never going to happen. Would be surprised if it’s more than £8m including add-ons, which is probably still way too much for “potential” in the championship. Reading through the list of the top 10 most expensive championship signings, it’s hard to justify such a high transfer fee https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/the-10-most-expensive-championship-players-ever-neves-carvalho-ritchie/

These things can get held up for all kinds of reasons. Fully expect the reed deal to be announced on Monday or Tuesday. As for attacking additions, who knows where we are with that.

Even if Reed did come in today, it’s not going to solve the lack of numbers up top. I think Mowbray has always thrown in the caveat of “hopefully” when mentioning targets coming in. I’m not convinced the Brereton deal will happen now, Forest holding out for too much?

There’s no doubt it’s desperation but at least it’s relatively low cost and low risk. My main concern is he physically and mentally still capabale of playing at a fairly high level? I guess time will tell. I can’t believe he is only 27, thought he must be in his early 30s.

We’ve just signed JRod. I think we have already sunk to lower levels of desperation than Antonsson

Tin hats at the ready

Don’t you mean a RODwell for his own back? Sorry couldn’t resist
