I don’t believe Bulgaria is on the quarantine list, so he should be all good.

Sharpe: Things might be about to get interesting... #Rovers working on a deal for 21-year-old goalkeeper Antonis Stergiakis from Bulgarian side Slavia Sofia. Edit: bloody hell Chaddy, it said Sharpe’s tweet was only 30 seconds young haha.

Gallagher will always miss sitters - he’s a ridiculously bad finisher with both head and feet. I called it that he’d be straight back in at RW. What’s the betting he knocks either Brereton or Dolan out of the starting 11 to start there in our next match. Slim odds I reckon.

Buckley needs to start matches for us at home IMO - he’s the only with the killer ball to break down teams.

Slight bump back down to earth today for those who thought we’d be winning 4/5-0 each week...

Gallagher straight back in on the right flank. FFS

He’d play with one leg for NI, yet he’d miss matches for us with a sniffle.

Manning in and a back up GK and this would represent a very decent window. Come on Tony and the V’s. Let’s make it happen.

So our famed European scouting team has only 5 days to make another signing?

I doubt we could even afford 10-15% of his wages.

Nightmare scenario for us would be a loan move as I'm sure he's only got a year or two left on his deal at Bournemouth.

From Fabrizio Romano the Italian sports journalist: Torino have opened talks with Bournemouth to sign Joshua King. Negotiations on. ? @DiMarzio #transfers #Bournemouth

Only negative is JRC has a hamstring injury according to Rich Sharpe. Is he injured quite often or am I being unfair?

Hoping against hope that somehow the V’s have got wind of our start to the season and will give TM what he wants before the end of the window. Quite a carrot to be dangled. Won’t happen but we can dream.

Try 4 fella. Get in!

Play JRC at left back. He would not do worse than Bell. Then bring Nyambe back in at RB. Simples.

Think people are just talking about him due to the sheer lack of anyone else being linked! As an aside I'm a little bit surprised no championship club has come in for Mulgrew. By all accounts Wigan fans were pretty delighted with his displays there - I would have thought a promoted side, or similar, may have taken a punt on him.

So contradictory. One minute we’re only in for players who will improve the first 11. Now we want squad fillers. What will it be tomorrow?

Bugger all it would seem. Other than we're hoping to loan out Magloire, Carter and one or two other youngsters before the deadline.

Everything certainly has gone very, very quiet. Very frustrating that yet again we got so far down the line with a player only for it to fall down at the final hurdle. Whatever the V’s role in our transfer activity, it ain’t working.

Perhaps they agreed deals with both clubs and left it to the player and his agent?

Arsenal have signed a new GK. Probably spells the end of any Raya pursuit.

The nearly men. It’s surely our sh*t show of a set up off the pitch which leads to all of these near misses. The loons not answering the phone in Pune, their man on the ground Suhail having about as much football knowledge as my missus, Venus our assistant manager by day and chief scout/negotiator come night. No wonder so much doesn’t come off!

Yep. If what he said is true then we must use that money for a decent permanent left back. Been such a weak link save for Cunningham’s 5 or so matches there last season.

Former Everton full back. Been out on loan from them since day dot, just been released at 27. Not played above league one level for yonks. Hopefully we’re after much better.
