The gospel according to that reputable website Sportskeeda  Sorry, they got the info from ITK Yorkie, who clearly has the inside track as he has "in the know" in the title of his name on his unverified twitter account. 

Why do you say it was all going too well? What would be wrong with signing this guy? What would you say are the weak points in his game that would make this signing an issue?

Now come on BDS don't be silly. If this was true, which it isn't, splashing 300k on a defender with 50 appearances in the Indian league is hardly good business. It would be an awful move.

That's nearly as good as the Chris Brown / Rudy signing comparisons

[Earlydoors]

i've got no problem with the manager picking his own players...........

Silly comment. How do you know it would be an awful move if you have never seen him play?? 

I know it is BS by the way. I clearly stated this in my post

Out of interest when do loans usually end? 

Would they be allowed to play in the play offs if it came to it?

pretty sure the loan ends before the play offs but there is some rule that allows you to extend

Please no play offs, remember when we lost 6 on the bounce and we had to play Leicester in the final not to mention Derby, my heart wont take it.

[G Somerset Rover]

Be interesting to see if Bell plays tonight against Leicester. If he does I think we can safely assume he’s probably not coming.

Why did Huddersfield recall Payne just to loan him back out again? He was getting enough gametime at Oxford.

hopefully just wanted to be closer to home

Could be we are making a bigger contribution to his wages

Huddersfield are in the prem riches and have spent a fair bit so I doubt us paying a few hundred extra a week or even a grand extra a week will be of any concern to them.

One of his team mates is an ex rover.  Though he didn't play too many times for us.

Bell has the touch of a midwife

I would leave Bell at Fleetwood until after we have played them. Leave them with the dilemma of whether to pick him against us or not.

[Doaksie]

Not sure where I saw it earlier but read something from Uwe Rosler asking Bell was he in the right frame of mind to play at the weekend with the potential move pending, and he said 'always'. And how impressed he was with his performance. Can't seem to find it. Almost certain I haven't imagined this. Would explain him starting tonight again. 

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

That's overly complex thinking for me Rigger. I say weaken their side while strengthening ours.

Having said that, I'm not that impressed from what I've seen of him.

[McClarky]

Re the Indian bloke, I'm sure the Nixons of this world can link any Indian player to Rovers and it will look vaguely credible for obvious reasons.
