Would anyone take Lucas Joao as our forward signing? Not been linked by the way just me musing, I couldn’t see it after he was on the naughty step with Mowbray but he has talent

Oh I wouldn’t be so sure - he was complimentary about a lad called Sam Gallagher when we weren’t signing him

I think getting Armstrong in will give most a bit of a buzz - shame it’s not in time for tomorrow but getting him back means we are at least as strong as last season now. A centre forward of good pedigree and we are set for a decent season

Graham Daniels? We’ve played a blinder here by the way if it comes off, wait till Preston have paid his train fair then pop down the A59 and get him to Brockhall!

I like Graham but I don’t think we want to be ending the window with him as our main striker. Arma would be a superb start but still need a front man

So A, B and C lists all failed then? Would be happy if it happens, could come right in with no bedding in either

Yeah I think we got Cairney instead

Where will Rovers finish this season? : 11th after a few brief flirtations with the play offs Player of the Year : Dadley Brack Young Player of the Year: Lewis Travis Top Goalscorer: main striker to be signed next week Championship Promoted : Derby, Stoke, Boro Championship Relegated : Bolton, Birmingham, Rotherham Dark Horse : Ipswich Hey....Stranger things have happened : Venkys put the club up for sale / Mercer predicts a draw Miscellaneous : Rovers knock Burnley out in the FA Cup and go onto a quarter final

This guy is the absolute worst, I remember a few years back he was giving it the ITK spiel and then named someone at Rovers as his source, I rang the guy in question who was pretty annoyed to say the least, Fudboy there backtracked pretty sharpish. Never sure what anyone hopes to get from acting like they know something

The new sponsor is on the back of all the replica away kits does anyone know if it’s the same colour on the away kit?

Hello Jackie - you look nice! SHALOM

That’s my assumption based on Kendal’s team sheet listing an ‘Ennis Bunjacki’ up front for us

Not first team related but I noticed on the under 23 team sheet at Kendal was ‘Ennis Bunjacki’ a google suggests it’s likely to be Enis Bunjaki, ex Germany under 17, 18 and 20 player currently a free agent after being released from Twente. He must have had some potential at some point you would think!

Has there been a solid link to Gallagher? I know Nixon linked us but the 3 players we have brought in he wasn’t close to breaking instead insisting we were going for Kent etc Anyway still would have loved us to bring in Chapman and Armstrong but have to agree it’s exciting if he’s after players a level or two above them Big couple of weeks

Hmmm not sure it sounds like anything major is close and Chapman and Armstrong will only be considered if all else fails.

Really pleased with that one, can’t pretend I knew he existed a week ago but derby fans speak highly of him

That would work for me but Gallagher was meant to be valued at £7m a week or two back

If we use any cash for a defender rather than an attacker it will be bemusing, it wasn’t a priority at the start of the window and still isn’t although we have made it more of an issue by sending Wharton out.

I was there when he said it, maybe I’m misremembering the exact words but he certainly said there was a deal there to be done if he fancied.

Just seen Chapman set up a goal yesterday with a run from deep inside his own half, he’s going to be on Boros bench I think, we may have missed the window to get him in at a good price. Mowbray said earlier that he knew the price and it was cheap, hope we don’t regret this one he’s going to be a star.

You literally said that In your last post, rf99 responded then you just post the same line again?

Think Bogle could still do a job, not progressed as expected mind

Was it not all black on the green effort a few years back? I quite like that but would have preferred yellow with light blue

Steve Waggott explained in the past Zebra would agree to everyone and then if they stopped paying it was down to rovers to do the chasing and make a decision on what to do. A proper credit check seems fair enough and the same as getting a mobile phone etc

Apparently Chelsea often prefer to do short term loans, protects their investment in that if he’s not getting game time they can recall and send elsewhere in Jan.
