That *was* the January Window

Selling a player for £22m whilst trying to sign an untested striker from MLS and an old bloke from Leeds is fucking bonkers. -

From what I've seen, Sigurdsson most definitely is not a winger, and Hedges is too slow. We need some pace. -

And now that money will keep the club going for 12 months. -

He'll be set for life so I'm happy for the lad, but on the other hand I have mixed feelings as I know for a fact he didn't want to go and wanted to get promoted with Rovers. It's such a shame a bigger club didn't come in for him. -

I'm not sure about Siggy, he's our second top scorer. What we need to do is stop playing him wide. In an ideal world he'd be an ideal sub for when Sammie tires. -

As a bonus the Palace lad is rated as a good young winger and we need some pace out wide. Looks like Southampton want him though. -

Iirc, before Wahlstedt started playing, our goal difference wasn't too bad. It's a shame Pears was injured forcing us to persevere. -

A bit extra is what counts sometimes. As we saw with last seasons league table. -

Sell Carter, Szmodics and JRC. -

Didn't someone say we were looking to sign two, to replace Gallagher (if he goes) and Ennis (who will be sent on loan)? -

He scored 15 goals in his last season for Blackpool, which was a poor team and got relegated. As a Rovers player Gallagher has managed a maximum of 9, once. He's not having a great season according to Swansea fans, yet he's their top goalscorer with 7 so far. Some of them say he doesn't seem to have settled. They want rid. He's always looked a much better player than Gallagher to me, quicker reactions, getting on the end of crosses and willing to take a crack from outside of the box. I think under JDT, and with Szmodics he'd flourish. -

£2m + a percentage of Gallagher's wages available. Jerry Yates? I'd say that's an upgrade and I also think he'd be better suited to JDT's system. -

I imagine that 2 year extension would come with a wage increase, to an already high wage. So not sensible considering we won't get that level of performance in the Championship week in week out. He seems to be getting ever more injury prone, and we'll never see £2m again. Obviously that comes with the caveat that we get to use the £2m and the wages saved to sign a replacement/replacements. -

Jerry Yates and the lad from Orlando would look to be the best we can do under the present circumstances. Well I'd hope that's the case. We won't get that much for Gallagher again. -

He struggled but grew into it. He looked very nervous. -

Wrexham's manager seemed a bit deluded. He forgot that Garrett (I think) and Pears helped them to a soft goal. "Then we could have scored two more before they scored..." We could have had two before Wrexham scored 🤷♂️ If we had a better bench we'd have scored more. -

That's £2m extra for Gallagher please Ipswich. -

Same old Rovers. 15 minutes of dominance but keeper not tested. Then we concede and give up. Who was it who gave the ball away cheaply for their goal? -

I'll applaud Broughton if he can get £2m for Gallagher. -

I remember a Chelsea fan laughing when we signed Le Saux. “He’s facking awful.” -

Since when has anything they've done made any sense? They wanted to sell him before the end of last season, with a view to a Summer sale. He rejected it on the grounds that he loves Rovers and wants to develop here. They then gave him a longer contract. Presumably if they couldn't cash in they wanted to tie him down. Palace come in in January and suprise everyone with a mega offer, they turn it down. Presumably because the penny has dropped that he's worth more than they originally thought so they are trying to squeeze every last penny out of them. If we've learned anything from them they are stupid and make silly decisions. Time will tell whether this is one of them. One thing that you aren't considering here is that in the corridors of power they aren't all on the same page.
