Seems a bit odd not getting Leo Duru back from his loan in MLS with Alebiousu away.

apparently we`ve put in a bid for cleary,a 6 figure fee,which in rovers terminology means £100,000,unsurprisely,barnsey have turned it down😁

Depends whether troubles at home with the chicken business have any influence

Of course we are ready. We are putting bids in for players. The research has been done People slammed for us not getting bids in early in the window. We are yet we still complain.

Whatever signings are made, they need to add at least 10 more goals to the side over the rest of the season, either directly or assists. Failure to do this, and we're in the mire.

Our goal could be a Litherland shot deflecting past the keeper off Henrikson's backside. Henrikson to score. But they'll get 3

Or Pickering up front? It worked last time.

on the barnsley forum

Seeing we Ohashi as only recognised striker wonder if we have a slight change of system and play a midfield diamond. Something like... Pears Miller. McLoughlin. Pratt Tronstad Litherland. TGH. Baradji. Hedges Cantwell Ohashi

Ismael will want players in early, but he won’t get them. It still amazes me that grown adults believe what Nixon says tbh. They must still believe in The Easter Bunny too….

If we do get clearly, then I think it would be a pretty solid signing. 11ga for a mid table Barnsley side ain’t too bad. He’ll be ready to start as well.

Ready to make sure we dont sign anyone but at least we tried.

Nixon is hit and miss at best. Granted he has several right but got a lot wrong as well. Im 5 stone over weight and Id fancy my chances in a sprint with Miller. Wharton has a mistake a game in him, Carter probably a mistake every two games I'm afraid but both Carter and Wharton are injury prone. IMO Carter is the better player when both are on form and fit. Our great manager complained about the amount of injuries our players suffer and he would sort it out. So far this has got worse not better. If you giving anyone a free transfer it would be our fitness dept.

Tbh we have been failed a million times I don’t blame the narrative but this surely is an overreach on being negative are we ready with a list of players (as usual yes) but going by your theory most clubs aren’t ‘ready’ as if they were then there would never be a rejected bid ever because as you say the buying club hasn’t done any planning at all but of course we both know most if not all clubs have numerous bids rejected for players in every window so again rightfully be sceptical but also a bit nonsensical at the same time

Dont talk rubbish. We have our "top spy" on the job.

That happens everywhere and would be naive to suggest it doesn't. If Rovers were as ready as they claimed, then they would know if the player wanted to join, and what the fee would be for him. If they have had a bid rejected, it shows they haven't really done any planning at all.

Yep, we've heard all this guff about wanting players in early before. Always fools a few into thinking we're serious about doing something.

That is true.

I just give up with you now. Pointless

Well tbf nobody would be ready… can’t force a club to accept a bid unless we go the illegal route and tap the player up beforehand

Great idea Herbie I like that Gold away shirt. Think its smart and different.

Even if he does sign, we definitely need another forward to play with 2 up.

Going by championship logic we should win this being the underdog and all, but lately it seems normal logic has entered the picture. That game against Sheff Wed was a horrendous soulsucking affair and with no reasonably available rotation we will lose this. My one hope is to see Toth back on goal playing an absolute blinder on his comeback earning us a point, but guess it’ll be Pears again. Then again it is the madhouse that is the Championship so better just strap in and hope for an entertaining game and a new years miracle! Happy new year, fellow Roverites!!

Who actually are the Rao offspring? There's Balaji's lad, who once came to a game and met with Mowbray afterwards, who I think was supposed to be attending an English university. Any others? I think the witch and her husband might have a daughter who is high up in the company these days who might once have turned up with them on the snowball day, but can't believe she would have any interest in this. I suppose there might be some logic to suggest that the extreme cutbacks of recent years have been a sign of the others withdrawing from this and basically telling Balaji and his mates that if they want to keep it then it needs to fund itself as far as it can, no more cash beyond the bare minimum sort of thing.

Again, would make more sense to sign 2 more natural strikers in my opinion. 3 Rather than someone who maybe can do a job there but has been playing as a winger. Can you see us signing 2? You dont even think we should sign 2 if i recall correctly. Its all hypothetical. Not convinced that Cleary ends up here.
