Nixon on his Twitter timeline is saying we are trying to agree a fee for Davenport

Was it not he had turned down a new deal but is still under contract?

They only come back today.Hopefully some announcements on new contracts and new signings will arrive soon

Yes it is.We have been back 1 week and not even our full squad as the lads who had internationals are still off.It is early into pre season.Another week until we play our first pre season game!

Speculation that Jack O'Connell once of this parish is the subject of a 6 million bid from Brighton

It is still early into pre season

Is there a link to quotes from Mowbray saying he wanted his buisness done before he went to Austria?

Do you still think Uruguay are an average side?

Peterborough don't have new owners do they?I haven't seen anything on that Apologies it seems he did sell half of the club.Regardless Marriot and Madison will both be on the move

How many had we signed at this stage last year?Not many and we needed more players than we need to buy this season. The players have been back 1 week and that has been spent abroad.For all you and I know deals could be agreed but waiting for Mowbray to return to announce them. We have been linked with free transfer players that McGeough from Hibs and that centre half from Blackpool who joined Rotherham yesterday.The fact Mowbray hasnt persued out of contract players suggests to me there is money in the kitty. If we don't get a few in in the best 10 days or so then i'l start to worry

I'd be worried if we where playing Armstrong as a lone front man with Dack behind. Imo Dack needs to play behind a target man type to get the best out of him.His best attribute in my opinion is feeding off a player who can hold the ball up and pass it off to him with his superb timing of his runs into the box.Dack wouldn't score anywhere near as many goals playing behind a small nippy foward like Armstrong. Agree with others that Armstrong should forget about playing as a front man and learn properly how to play the role we had him in last season.

'Rev hardly any clubs have made signings so far.Its a world cup year,higher placed teams will probably be keeping hold of the players they are willing to let go until their internationals return. Mowbray and the squad have been in Austria this past week,id start getting worried if we don't have quality new faces in within the next 2 weeks.

Nixon joined the site 6 months before they bought the club?Maybe that's when he rejoined the message board as he used to have his own thread on here when Santa Cruz first joined us and that was a lot more than 6 months before Venkys bought us A quick look and I can see he was posting on here in 2007.

Yeah but that many years before?Alan Nixon being part of some conspiracy with Anderson and SEM is something I'm not buying. He was reporting on rovers for years and was one of the only reporters who actually covered Rovers in the transfer market. He even made an appearance on that documentary "The house that Jack built". I'm not a nickoteen or what ever they used be called on here,and I get that he talks shite and can be very ignorant on social media but Nixon through the walker years got plenty if transfer stories involving Rovers right

No games just working on fitness.Its the first week back,they went to Austria a few weeks into pre season last year

They where due to be out there for a week so presumably Sunday

He was here well before the Venkys and Anderson turned up. It was Nixon who.broke the Santa Cruz to Rovers story and the Craig Bellamy story before that. Il be honest I have heard the rumour about Nixon being in cahoots with Anderson and other's and in my opinion it's a load of nonsense. Yeah he talks a lot of shite and doesn't help himself with his love in for Owen Coyle and calling a Kean a wee gem after his first presser but he was writing on this message board well before Anderson was around. He used to break a lot of transfer stories for rovers but obviously since the Venkys came in his contact at the club must no longer be employed

Don't know much about Bauer but If he is better than Lenihan as I rate Lenihan especially since he moved to the back, then would be a good signing.Do you watch a lot of Charlton and Bauer may I ask or is it a case of you not rating Lenihan?

Southgate out

Kane isn't starting

England make 8 changes

Wigan looked great against the weaker league 1 opposition but against the better teams not so good so disagree with you saying they looked a championship outfit. We didn't put many teams to the sword but against the better sides we defeated most of them with ease. We should have buried Wigan at Ewood and on another day we would have got the 3 points and won the league in doing so.

Speculation that Bristol will bid for Jack Marriot to replace Reid

He did well last season but I think your being very generous to be calling Lee Johnson a top manager. He was close to getting the sack the previous season and some Bristol fans are still unhappy with him.

Bristol city selling two of their best players with Flint joining Boro and Bobby Reid close to joining Cardiff.If they don't bring in the right replacements they'll struggle next season
