Good article

It was a midfielder that signed the new contract so presume he was playing midfield. It's a low risk signing , short term contract and cheap deal not one to get excited about but you never know he may come good. Bit annoyed we were told two signings in today though and it's only Rodwell.

He played 3 matches for Watford pre season and passed a medical was set to sign only for one of the Watford players who was set to be sold did a u-turn and signed a new contract.Been training with Everton since

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16595779.rovers-bring-in-free-agent-jack-rodwell-on-one-year-deal/ It says in this article about him playing centre back

Rodwell signs till end of season

A fiver says that's Rodwells hand

Can't argue with that. He wanted Bauer clearly but Charlton wouldn't play ball,perhaps go back in for him in January Still not totally against signing Rodwell on a cheap And short term contract with incentives to make the contract longer and more lucrative.

Doubt that has played DM and Right back.

Yeah agree with this.Perhaps he is being told by Waggot or Cheston that things are close but if nobody signs today it will be the last 3 weeks we have been promised a signing with nobody joining

Would Hemed have come up north though?Agree would have been a good signing but seems Mowbray is targetting a younger striker,If nobody is brought in then i'l rue missing out on the likes of Hemed

No ability?He has had 2 multi million pound transfers and played for his country.Been shit for time but he does have ability unless the injuries have him ruined. He will be coming in on a very cheap deal if it doesn't work out then he will be gone. It's Sharp who said about him playing cb after speaking with TM.

Reed and Rodwell are both close. On Reed perhaps he is being brought in due to us not being able to get that Trapp from Columbus crew, perhaps Southampton don't want to sell Reed?, a couple of loans without options are ok Reed and Palmer both options without obligations improve us. If we got Reed on a loan to buy some would be complaining that we have too many midfielders and should be spending our money on a winger and a striker. Perhaps that is what the kitty is being saved for.TM sounded confident of landing a couple in his interview last night.I still think we will get Brereton before the deadline

If he is coming in on a cheap deal at least the guy seems to want to get back playing football. With the money the guy made at Everton, City and Sunderland he could retire and live comfortably for the rest of his days. There is no doubt that he was a talent, you don't have two big money transfers and represent England if you have nothing about you.If it's a cheap deal it looks like a no lose deal for us

Liam Feeney joined Blackpool 2 year deal.

Well Mowbray did say in his interview last night there will be more exciting signings other than a free agent over the next 9 days. Would have probably been better to announce Rodwell after that buisness was done though. If he is coming in on a cheap deal and short term contract with the incentive of a longer deal then I don't have a problem with it at all can understand why some fans are against it at the same time though

We are still in talks about Brereton.So that 8 million or whatever could still get spent.Going for Rodwell and Reed doesn't mean we have moved away from Brereton

Or we could be saving the funds we have to improve our attacking options

Strange though, there must be a problem with him that no club higher up has signed him

I can't disagree but I do think Reed would be much better than Smallwood although admittedly I didn't see much of Reed for Norwich but from reading up on it seems he did quite well

Why though?He played 39 times for Norwich in this league last year. It would be better being a loan to buy but maybe he is a short term option until that Trapp or another player becomes available, or perhaps it's because Mowbray doesn't feel Davenport is ready yet but will be, or Rothwell needs to work on his discipline before he trusts him enough to play as 1 of the 2. It could be a loan to buy anyway but if just a season loan surely it would be better to have him as an option instead of Smallwood rather than not

No mate you can just have a standard loan deal

Yeah would have been a decent option. My hope is that the attacking players that do come in will be loan to buys hence us not targetting young prem players just available on loan

Pulis been giving his thought on missing out on Bolasie and boro's transfer buisness in general.Said nobody will be let out as it stands so if Chapman is a TM target that one doesn't look likely

That's what Sharpe is saying on Twitter that he would be coming in with a view to challenging for a centre half spot. It might not even happen anyway and if it does will be a cheap deal

In fairness he isn't passing it off as his own he is just passing on what has been said. I do think there is definitely something in the Reed link, expect we will find out today as he is being talked about as one of the players expected through the door today
