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.

Marvellous from Dack, unreal player

7.5k or so

Nice to be signing a player that other clubs fans rate from his time their, would prefer the security of a year but this looks a great idea

You say lots of things to be fair

2-0 BIG DOM SAM

Rovers playing in their home kit against a team all in blue hints that the kit is wrong

Some fantastic names as well

I will endorse Maximilian Meyer - signed him on Fifa before and he never let me down

Posh owner was tweeting last night that WBA had been around Maddison all summer but not directly with the club they’d been contacting his agent directly so presume it was them that he referred to. On Chapman or Armstrong if I had to pick one it would be Chapman, £10m man in a year or two and can be picked up on the cheap although worry we have waited too long and the deal may be gone now. Mowbray said at the supporters evening that Armstrong had Championship experience but hadn’t done well when he had, I didn’t think he sounded keen on him.

She was out on Saturday in Manchester with Dackypants

I’ve said all along we need 5 more and stick by it, 2 wingers, 2 strikers and one CB

This is appalling how can this be: Crystal Palace have been promoted from the third tier to fill one of the places, but rather than source another replacement, it has been confirmed the Super League and Championship will both go ahead with just 11 teams. The Championship will include the newly-formed Manchester United ladies team were admitted to the league as were Leicester City who finished second in Rovers’ division, while West Ham moved from the third tier to the Women’s Super League.

I think it’s poetic licence myself, we know Mowbray said he wants to organically grow the squad rather than bring in high earners and upset the balance but I don’t think that necessarily translates to him turning down for money for players

Remember Mowbray saying one problem was he had too many good options with regards to who to sign. Would be interesting to know if he still sees that as an issue

I had high hopes for another on that trip, Zac Aley, made the bench at old Trafford even, then faded into semi pro obscurity. I think the problem is these lads had a glimpse of it and then thought they had made it already.

Another couple for Simmonds tonight, playing lower opposition of course but that’s 4 in pre season, hope he’s finding a finishing touch to add to his game edit - el hatricko
