I think you’ve guessed based off Twitter and hoped it’d come off I’ll be honest.

If that’s what you choose to think, it’s far from the truth but sure, if that’s your choice.

Look, people can criticise, mock and disbelieve. I think going forward I’ll be saying nothing, people love to shut down anyone who shares anything they’ve heard.

I get why people can feel conned, but I only posted what I’d been told. I don’t take any enjoyment from transfers being delayed, transfers going wrong or being given false info, I don’t know why people think that would be done from posters purposefully.

I was extremely careful only to share what I knew/was told and nothing more, I never gave a name because I didn’t know one. I’ll be saying nothing more on it, and anyone else who feels like having a jibe or a dig can cope with being ignored.

Breathe Joe, I’m just asking if you think the source was solid. The managers interview is confusing.

Ive been on the other side of this enough to know it’s an unforgiving place to be.

People like posting carrot danglers as you did, don't be surprised if you get some stick if it goes tits up, simple.

To be fair, I think everyone appreciates inside info.

But if you put info out there, you have to expect questions if nothing materialises. If you interpret that as a jibe than fair enough but everything I’ve read seems fair game in all honesty.

“I know exactly to the penny how much money we’ve got, it’s either a couple of loans or a signing, I would suggest, and I am not sure we’re going to spend it all on Ryan Manning when we’ve got Amari’i Bell doing okay.

“We’ve got other areas I think we need to strengthen first.”

I feel sick. ?

Hope that's a piss take

I stopped last season for same reason, it’s a thankless task and the hassle isn’t worth it. I appreciate info and know very well that things are more likely to go tits up than fall into place. Some folk just like being negative

As good as we were today and it’s VERY hard to find negatives from a performance like that...but Amari’i Bell is just, truly awful.

 

There will always be one worst player. I’m just glad it’s no longer Jason Lowe.

Bell has struggled to adapt to the Championship. He just seems to lack confidence. His final ball is always awful or doesn’t even take place.

The trick is not to upgrade on your worst players though, it’s to upgrade on your best ones so by default the worst ones ease themselves out of contention.

[Mellor Rover]

You’ve got to think that now we’ve signed Ayala, he sees Williams as cover for both left and centre half maybe?! But if Ayala/Lenihan miss a game the same time as Bell, we’d be looking at a defence of JRC/Nyambe Lenihan Wharton Williams which makes me feel ever so slightly ill.

Me feeling sick that the manager doesn’t think we badly need a LB? No, I’m deadly serious! Him saying that made me feel sick ?

For fucks sake! Sounds like we are skint and that he is deluded over the lack of quality of Amarii Bell. 

Mowbray mentioned a meeting on Thursday. Sounds like it didnt go too well!

We see in the coming days and weeks. I think Mowbray is not giving everything away and keeping his cards close to chest. 

We deffo need a left back. and centre back if Williams moves on. Plus a back up keeper

Ignore it Joe, it's ever the way, there's no point taking what strangers say to heart. I and others want to hear what you've heard, whether it pans out or not.

Understand all that you’re saying...but Bell NEEDS replacing. Simple as that.

[Tugayisgod]

What area could possibly need strengthening before lb? 

Don't get that at all, know Travis is a miss but we do have alternatives there.

He's our best (only) LB unfortunately so he needs upgrading urgently.

Why would he do that when he was pictured with Waggott at the ground having completed a new business partnership with the club?

The lack of money always seemed to be the thing to expect so to be honest I am not shocked that it seems like Thursdays meeting on transfers has only compounded the fact that we are searching for bargains. 

But Mowbrays talk about left back not being the main priority is the big concern. Bell is and always will be not up to it. We do also need a sub keeper, a central midfielder and another attacking player.

It doesnt seem like anything is imminent which considering that Mowbray said 2 days ago that he expected an answer on a left back within 24 hours is a concern.

Perfect time to claim a ‘source’... no?

[Ossydave]

There are no sources anymore in this circus. I used to get regular info and its long gone. Anything now is half arsed guess work.

[DeeCee]

I only get my info off here, keep it coming! Spurious or not (no reflection on JoeH)

A day where we got 3 points, a clean sheet, a 5-0 score sheet, a striker notching a hat trick and yet we still have some in here winding themselves into a fervour!

Enjoys today’s result have a beer or two and relax, we don’t play for another 7days?

[Paul Mellelieu]

Maybe TM us trying ti drive down the fee.

who knows what was discussed in Thursday meeting. Is Mowbray using the media to ask like the club is skint to get clubs to lower their demands. who knows. 

We need a left back and back up keeper. But after that I am happy with the squad unless someone leaves. Yes I have mention Josh Cullen from West Ham recently but thats was a discussion about potential midfielder signing if we could after signing Left back and back up keeper plus me not in favour of signing Ben Whiteman for the fee Doncaster they want. I am happy with the forward options

 who knows what is imminent or not with Rovers. Maybe Rovers don't want leaks to happen. We could make a signing Monday or Tuesday. Who knows
