We have moaned for ages about selling players before their contract expire. I didn't realise we had to clarify said players would need replacing with players of the same quality to avoid relegation.

Pasha and Gestede: "Job done overlords"

Well we've found JRC's replacement at least.

Don't you just know it. £2-3 million cash guaranteed from Wrexham, a top earner out the door. In his place a loan and miniscule contribution to his wage with an 'option' to buy. Job is a good one indeed. Couldn't have designed it any better. Meanwhile the regime defenders will point to Hyam's (self inflicted) contract situation, and 'versatility' of the incomer and continue to try and argue it is a job well done.

Might be time for this guy to pick a position:

Decent signing that to be honest. But doesn’t replace Hyam.

Deliberately. I hope people remember this when we are struggling to retain Championship status. Or will it just be shoulder shrugs and excuses?

Can see that happening Hyam sold Miller & Carter to compete for the right centre back slot, and Alebiosu & Gardner-Hickman to compete for right back Gardner-Hickman can also fill a gap in central midfield until Baradji is fit

Replacing a centre back with a jack of all trades on loan?

Miller to replace Hyam then and this guy to cover RB and CM.

*Tumbleweed*

Whatever happened to a team having to agree a fee with a club before speaking to a player,just saw on X that Guehi agreed wages with Liverpool a month ago yet thev've only just agreed the fee with Palace.

Shoulda seen it coming, really. Tronstad in Jan?

Taylor Gardener-Hickman wow just wow. What a sh1t show this has turned into

Agreed. Managed. Decline.

I had the same feeling when Tavares was signed and then we were linked with Baradji. I dont think that the original intention would have been that either of those two were brought in to sit on the bench, I reckon they were the Tronstad/Travis replacements but the situation was then complicated by Baradji's medical situation.

A different Genk forward whose scoring record is about the same as Gudjonsson has signed for Wolves for 24m..

I'm sure I saw on another thread that it's Jordan Rhodes coming in as a finishing coach

As someone else pointed out the other day, Gestede highlighted/lauded Miller as a "centre back" in one of his self-absorbed LinkedIn posts. So it's all adding up.

The owners will be delighted with this window. The objectives would have been: Reduce the wage bill ✅ Spend less than we bring in ✅ Reduce the average age of the squad ✅ Buy potential that we may be able to sell on for a profit ✅ Create pathways for players from the academy ✅ That is literally all the ambition is at the club these days. I don't think there's even a pretence anymore that we're trying to get back to the premier league. The only issue is that we haven't bought many players that are 'championship ready'. The majority are going to take months to get up to speed and even then it's inevitable some won't be good enough.

No stress. We'll be alright (hopefully) it's the manager that concerns me more than the players tbh. Some managers just fit, this one just doesn't IMO.

Somethings jist come back to me!..... What was the crptic post recently about a 'rovers legend' possibly returning? Was an explanation given for that? Because for some reason ive just had an image of MGP coming in in a coaching capacity of some sorts 🤷

Could Wednesday's edition be that the Vs say "oh no we don't"...? 😉 (thanks for keeping us up to date - feels like being a kid again waiting for next weeks installment or the new season of a show after a few months... 🤣)

No, that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Now they've hit the last couple of hours of the window, it's all geared up for a Venkys classic: Sell Hyam Throw Hyam under the bus Speculate we had a great replacement lined up Make an excuse that we couldn't get it over the line on time Look again in January *January comes* - Do nothing
