Nice basin cut.

No grown man who wears a full tracksuit and baseball cap will ever be deemed as 'smart' in my book. I'm just bitter. I really wanted Chapman to be a full-time Rovers player.

Is it looking unlikely for Chapman?

I'd have taken 15m for Dack in the summer. Now, seeing the exciting team that TM is building, it would have to be 25m and a lot of reluctance too because the lad is central to what we are doing. I honestly think we have an outside chance of going up this season, without him I'd say no chance.

Gillingham must be thinking they were mugged.

Oh Christ, that must mean he's going Sheffield Wednesday then. Ffs, this has been a terrible window.

His goals away at Palace won me over straight away.

I'd be miffed if he went on loan elsewhere. Also, have you/anyone seen the interview with Michael Owen regarding his frequent injuries and how it affected him? I couldn't help but think of Chapman.

It's simple how the write stories. Choose an in form player for a club outside of the top flight - simply link them to a club in the Premier League. Premier League Window shuts. Choose an in form player for a club outside of the top flight - link them to a club recently in the Premier League. Window shuts. Option A. Choose an in form player for a club outside of the top flight - link them to a January move to struggling club in the Premier League. Option B. Choose an in form player for a club outside of the top flight - link them to a club in a far away land. Rinse, repeat, eventually get one right and do an "As exclusively revealed in the (insert paper name)..." feature.

It's almost as though he has signed him as a bit of a project/challenge. He must see something good in the lad and thinks that he has too much talent to waste. I hope he does well and becomes a rock for the club.

I disagree, we will have to buy him regardless of form.

Ant and Dec, Morcambe and Wise, Liam and Noel, Richard and Judy, Fish and Chips, Night and Day, life and death, Gary Bowyer and the steadied ship.

It seems a strange injection of cash this window. I briefly mentioned a couple of months ago that I heard rumours of Arab investment in the club (not a sale of the club, just friends/associates of the Raos who were putting money in this summer) has anyone else heard similar?

I hope for his sake he can run the channels.

Serial shagging.

After an absolutely awful spell, it's not very hard loving Rovers again.

If that did finally happen, I would be happy. I love how the squad is taking shape with young and skilled talent who seem to want to be here. We just need to ship out the likes of Whittingham and Caddis by the end of the week, not that they are bad guys, just that they aren't good enough.

He reminded me of Shefki Kuqi mixed with Kalanic...slightly worrying ?

The overly positive/overly negative bollocks gets on mine at times. As does the hanging on every word of the manager and pestering for daily updates but wanting to throw him under a bus when these throwaway deadlines aren't met. E.g. He said 5 players in June, he said he wanted it done before the World Cup, it hasn't been so the window is a failure, he said 3 more on Tuesday but 2 can't count, Tony must be disappointed, he's going to walk because he's missed his press conference, we've no money, don't spend the money, where's the money from? I trust him today but won't trust him tomorrow...it's comical but frightening how desperate and embarassing adults can be. Either way, it's bloody entertaining.

I really like him, he either does something good or occupies 2/3 players and creates space for someone else.

I think he's seeing Williams, Downing and Rodwell as his centre back cover. I can't pass judgement on Rodwell as I've never seen him in that position. Ideally we'd sign Charlie's successor as cover, I think Bauer is that player (in Mowbray's eyes). I agree re Chapman. He just offers that something else going into the last half hour of a game. I'd hate to defend against him.

There's quite a lot of talk trying to downplay signings as non-signings to put forward a ******** (I think the n word is frowned upon here...but it is the opposite to + on a battery) view on things. Over the last few weeks I've seen posters say Palmer, regardless how good he is, doesn't count because he's not our player and it doesn't help the club, Rodwell now doesn't count because somehow he's effectively a loan, Rothwell wouldn't be any good because Payne was better and we should have got him instead, Armstrong hasn't ever proven himself at Championship level and he was with us last season anyway, so he doesn't properly count I suppose. So we still need a load more players because despite our healthy start, with niggly injuries in tow, we WILL struggle. Mainly because the post match analysis shows clean sheets don't count due to Raya having to make actual saves and the wins could have been draws or losses. Thankfully, I am safe in the knowledge that there's no negativity on here - it's all a straw man argument and nobody ever says such things ?

I think that was Davenport

As much as I love Dack, he isn't a patch on Duff or Dunn. Duff would be an £80-100m player in this day and age.
