If we are after another midfielder someone like Alan Browne on loan could fit the bill. Sunderland happy to let him go, he's another in the Travis mould, bit of a shit houser and someone opposition fans hate. Not sure where all this leaves Forshaw tbh unless it's as cheerleader in the dressing room

His accuracy has been off a few times. He said we wanted Gassama about 2 days before he went to Rangers. Also said that Pye was our alternative to Kapuadi. Not convinced we were serious about Miyoshi either.

Correct 🙂 But also that we're chasing a CM to replace Bucko/Trav and a striker could come in as well. I'm guessing we're searching for CB's too, and if there's a suitable option available, then Hyam leaves this window.

Elliot saying we want another midfielder after Morishita. Says not ruled out another striker but nowhere near a certainty. Think Nixon was well off with Afolayan.

I'm assuming the other two deals are outgoings of Travis and Buckley. Bit of a misleading headline 😂

How would I know? Did I hear £5M somewhere?

MORISHITA signs for Rovers! Handshakes all round as Motishita makes the move to Shamrock Rovers 🤣

I dont get the suggestion that a midfielder is a priority whereas a striker is just a bonus. We need another striker far more than a midfielder, although I think we need both. If Pears goes, we need another keeper.

EJ latest: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25414459.blackburn-rovers-transfer-latest-three-deals-close/

My understanding is that Morishita played on the wing last season. Scored 14 goals last year and is meant to be rapid. So that should be the pacey winger locked down. EJ has just confirmed that we are looking at another midfielder and hopefully a striker. If we get all 3, and sell Buckley, Pears and Travis (sadly) for good fees then that would conclude a suprisingly very strong window under the circumstances (self inflicted).

Too good to be true? 28 year-old Japanese player with three caps for his country and plying his trade in Poland.

Hea being bought in as a winger.

Don't count your chickens, Gestede did work experience with Waggot. We've still got the 'offer them less in person once they've flown to Manchester' tactic to pull yet

Forgive my ignorance, but we've got full backs coming out of ears. 2m plus on a 28 year old for a position we are well stocked seems extravagant? Or is in intent for him to play further forward? We are crying out for a striker and pacey winger..

I really like him but he is way down the pecking order now with Hyam, McLoughlin, Carter, Wharton and Miller ahead of him. He played against Everton under 21's last Monday but was nowhere to be seen on Friday. Perhaps a loan deal might be in the offing for him.

Can see it now, "Morishita signs for Bristol Rovers"

Is this an insert your own final word competition ? 🤣

You can only be sure it's done when he runs out on the pitch in a Rovers shirt AFTER the end of the transfer window.

If Morishita does come then they've done quite well

Morishita I know nothing about but seems a cut above some of the punts we have taken this summer.

You can only be sure it's done when the club employee logs on to twitter to say "🇯🇵 🇵🇱👀"

The Morishita deal seems to good to be true… Waiting for Jackson to confirm/squash it but as it is bank holiday I don’t feel we will have an update until tomorrow.

Wharton had an unimpressive game against Forest but he was still rated 5th best on the park. Not often noted but his passing accuracy and tackling stats are almost super human every match.

Dolan has fantastic feet when on the ball and can bamboozle most defenders. Being a deceptively slow runner will always limit him. Problem at Rovers was his lack of a football brain in reading the game or seizing those split second opportunities his skilful manipulation of the ball regularly present which I think is why the Dolan detractors find so frustrating and decry him as a footballer. It could be good coaching and a different style of league could sort out the head stuff for Dolan. We were worthy winners against Elche in their backyard a month ago and Espanyol are very much the same level of outfit. I think Dolan has a decent chance of winning and holding a starting place in Barcelona.
