Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 8, 2018 Author Moderation Lead Share Posted August 8, 2018 Just so we are all on the same page, if you think we’ve no money, can you explain that it’s an opinion, or if you’ve some proof or a link, then share it? Otherwise it comes across as winding people up. Cheers. (I’ll stop posting for a bit as this isn’t all about me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though others have in the past, admittedly. thats the term.. You used it the other day in reply to me.. I'd never heard of it until then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much I would suggest, or Middlesbrough have accepted a lower offer for him that we perhaps originally offered to help boos their funds for Bolasie... That would be my guess.

JHRover Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'd be astonished if we were paying money for Chapman at this stage. Could see a loan until January then re-assess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how good Chapman really is and if he stays injury free. You’ll recall we didn’t have his services for most of his loan spell.

Because they will be our players!

We get them for a full season. They didn't even play at the same time. Palmer has come in as an upgrade on Payne who only were here for half a season. Davenport and Rothwell has given more depth. The whole premise of that question is that we don't add anybody else which we certainly will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotchrover Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Chapman isn’t going to come in loan- Boro need the money. I think he’ll be our last summer signing, on a 3 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at it another way we will not be worse which is already an improvement on the last few years. That is therefore a positive and a reason for optimism even if it proves to be ill founded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Chapman just shared a video on instagram of himself with Dann Graham and he wrote "the big dog". Read into that what you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Or both Graham and Chapman live in the Middlesbrough area, Graham has had the day or afternoon off training, as has Chapman after Boro's game last night so went for a catch up.

That is therefore a positive and a reason for optimism even if it proves to be ill founded. Not to be pedantic but of course it weakens us. We are playing at a significantly higher level with the same first team. Wigan strolled L1, even though we should have caught them, and they’ve already brought in three first team improvements - as well as several to improve the bench. We’ve just improved our bench. Not expecting big things tomorrow, although the Chapman link looks very real now. Hope the loan window bring actual improvements rather than additions which maintain the status quo.

Read into that what you will I also find it interesting that his twitter background still shows him in a rovers kit and it says “Harry Chapman Blackburn Rovers”. I think he will be coming. Preferably a season long loan for me. He can then sign with us from 1st Jan as free agent ( not sure if tribunal fee would be due). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very happy with that but how would it be in Boros interest to agree to such a deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
