You certainly sound frustrated. I didn't realise you had a direct line to how JDT was feeling by the way..impressive. He's more likely just frustrated with dumb journalists and their inane questions.

I'd much rather we go about our transfer business quietly and effectively rather than worry about answering reporters questions. I wouldn't call it dysfunctional as the policy to keep schtum seems a deliberate one. That might frustrate you but I'm sure they'll not be losing any sleep about that.

He's gone and is now a Wigan reserve. You really need to move on.

I see what you did there - keeping this thread off transfers, you're going to be in for it now just wait for the 'Keep the thread on topic police' to arrive... 😃 I'll bite though. Fave biscuit - chocolate digestive. Fave crisps - salt and vinegar.

Granted it got old pretty quickly but no need to be Garrulous Regarding Utilising Major Public Yelling. It is the weekend after all...

8 goals in 88 club appearances. He is not, it's fair to say, a goal machine.

And not much of one 40 goals in 243 appearances, a goal every 6 games and never scored for us. Quality...

Too true. Archetypal 'jorneymen' types both of "em.

I remember that game! A clip that perfectly encapsulates Lowe's 'qualities'...

Jason Lowe, footballer. There's an oxymoron right there...

Yep, he can - 8 in 88 games to be precise.

I'll survive but thanks for the heads up... Just don't rate him. Also, I'm not sure he's a JDT type player but that's just me guessing.

Well spotted...no flies on you. Doesn't mean I have to want him at Rovers though does it?

£15m??? Good to know as he's not worth that and we can't afford it. Bullet dodged...

I'll admit Keenan is a beast but that doesn't always make you a 'footballer'. Bit of a flat track bully for me. Championship probably is his level though. Looked hopeless in the Premier and definitely not a natural finisher as his stats prove.

You mean the Keenan Davis who has scored 8 goals in 88 games. That Keenan Davis? I think/ hope we can do better....

So just to clarify...your clever plan to sort it would have been not to tell the press it was pretty much done & voilà 'Bob's your uncle'. Give Waggott his P45 and get JH Rover in now!!!

Actually, just to play devil's advocate - maybe we just didn't want him enough to give him what he thought he was worth?

I getting a strong whiff of sour grapes...

It's a good point. I clearly remember the doom laden posts on here last pre- season. Basically we were a shoe-in to go down. Didn't happen and never looked like happening. The lack of signings so far is definitely disappointing and I'd like to see some activity ASAP but I'm not going to start self- flagellating yet, I'll leave that to the usual suspects.

Why does it feel like you're enjoying this situation a bit too much? Regarding the bit in bold - sounds a bit like he's no better than a pimp working the street corners looking for new talent...

I don't accept that Lenihan was all that. A limited championship defender is what he is backed up by the fact that he's left us and gone to Middlesbrough. He'd be a car crash if he ever somehow got to the premiership...

Overall, that was a decent work-out. Definitely confirms we're short in places but I thought we stuck to our task well. We looked dangerous on the counter and had an effective press in Celtic's half when we committed to it. Some positives to take away but now we need to get some new faces in.

The voice of reason..

I might have agreed with you but then I saw the 'JDT out' comment was made by SparksRover so I don't think it's as clear as you suggest...
