Feel like getting Browne would really lift the mood...

If we don't get an midfielder in we should play 4-4-2 with Cantwell attacking mid and Tronstad defensive mid and with two strikers upfront.

Come on get Alan Browne in!

Or they've kept the transfer of a bloke with multiple international caps / a British passport who currently plays on the Continent incredibly quiet. I'd be impressed if that's the case.

Cantwell can not play in a midfield 2, its not his game and he has never done that before. He is better playing where he has been.

Surely Cantwell and Tronstad in midfield with Gudjohnsen and Ohashi up front

Maybe we should get a bingo card made up?

Looked like his groin which is a massive concern considering his history

Just waiting on that confirmation that Elliott Jackson has had it confirmed from the club that we are 100% done. Then we can enjoy the push of ignoring the gaps in the squad. Phrases like happy with the numbers, dont want to upset senior players and creating pathways can come out.

Yea he'll probably watch games at Ewood while he's injured!

At this stage, the only ones happening, both on a logistical & financial point, due to the points you mention, will be teenagers on loan from the Premier League

They'll be trying, but without those ESC places to play with and this hard £10k a week salary cap options will be very limited. Any of those targets from the Continent that would suit the above criteria would already be over for a medical (and those tend to leak out) so I suspect we're not going to sign anyone.

"I think around 10 million euros was mentioned by Slovakian media" according to someone on Reddit.

Not sure which is more depressing - a transfer deadline day shambles or one where we do nothing at all when it's clear we need 2 more players.

I wonder if there will be a future fee based on appearances or similar that sees them skirt around signing players for a fee

Stinks of an agent feeding frenzy doesn't it? Takes me back to the halcyon days of Paolo Jorge and Edinho jr.

Val has a worse record than owen coyle - can say what you want but to have that is nothing short of embarrassing

Load of utter tosh il mention what i want when people are paying to watch that tripe & recruitment failing the club - square pegs round holes we have a manager who has a worse record than owen coyle already

Probably also cost a decent amount more both in fee and wages. Meanwhile embargoed Hull are still managing to sign free players. Somehow convinced Leeds to release Gyabi a year early. Not sure how they've managed that.

Will see - looks a bit slow and fat from the highlights videos I've just watched of him. I can actually see Gudjohnsen doing well here - he's the type of striker we've been missing.

Jackson has resorted to updating us on other Championship transfers, whilst pushing his own Gudjohnsen article, which is soundbites from Rovers TV. Tick tock. Looking increasingly like nothing is going to happen.

Yes, I suspect they hope Tronstad keeps fit and then make do with the other 3 until Bardji is fit. Also perhaps hoping that new personnel up top might take some pressure off if we are scoring some goals.

It's about bodies here, not if they are good enough. They see 5 players for 2 positions and deem that plenty.

Very concerning that there aren’t even any whispers of an incoming midfielder. They can’t be that crazy thinking our current selection is good enough after watching all those defeats. Then again considering who is running the show they most likely do 😬

Lowe was our captain that season. Let that sink in for a minute.
