I may be doing him a disservice, but not many followers. Would be highly surprised if it were true.

That lot signing some very highly rated Brazilian RB from Brugge now. They’re gonna have a whole new squad!

Links to players have gone very cold. As I said the other day, I'd be be beyond stunned if anyone was in the door before the weekend.

All gone very quiet hasn't it. I'd be stunned if anyone comes in before the weekend.

He’d surely get a lower PL club. Quality player. No harm in asking, mind.

Seems to be a coin toss as to whether we’ll go with 4 or 5 at the back. My gut after the second half yesterday, says 5. In which case I’ll predict: Kaminski Carter-Ayala-Wharton Brittain-Travis-Buckley-Pickering Dolan Gallagher-Brereton

I agree with the sentiment, but is it even possible to ‘find a bit of pace?’. You’re either quick or you’re not IMO. Agreeing with others, he’s too slow to play in the wing back system.

Indeed. I used to watch Adam at Yeovil Town - beyond sad. Can only hope the young man does his dad very proud throughout his career.

I really don’t understand why we haven’t played our strongest team in one pre season match - it’s all been 50/50. Hardly the perfect preparations for next weekend.

Troy parrot is one I would think we are thinking about if we sell brereton

Brighton can’t surely be looking for anywhere close to that for Van Hecke when he’s out of contract next summer.

Morton may not happen now according to Sharpe, due to injuries at Liverpool.

It's the 'lightweight' comments that concern me most from 'Pool fans. In this league you need to stand your ground, be prepared to take some whacks, and give a fair bit back. Clarkson had none of that; fingers crossed this lad does. No doubt he'll have all of our backing once he pulls on the shirt.

Not too excited by the prospect of bringing in another lightweight Liverpool midfielder on loan given last season with Clarkson. Hopefully this lad has a bit more about him. And also, hoping this doesn’t affect the move for Styles.

Beat me to it. You’re not going to be able to pay players peanuts when they’ve come through the door for millions. No doubt this is why it never happens (BBD aside, and let’s face it, that was all very random). More creativity is needed here for the right player.

His missus is from Manchester too. Which may help.

He’s just posted a photo of him with the eyes emoji. Come on Glen, what have you heard pal?

Glen has heard something about Styles - according to his cryptic Twitter post anyway!

Great news to get the first over the line. Let's hope it opens the floodgates on the incoming front, and we get a couple more in ahead of the opener against QPR.

Still time for us to f*ck this up then.

Don’t be so silly.

The only arrival on mass at Ewood anytime soon will be for the prayer meeting.

Poor bloke is used to the best - his career is testament to that. IMO unless our owners / CEO / Pasha pull their fingers out of their arse, then he’ll be gone by Christmas if we’re not performing semi-decently in the league.

Yep. Time these ‘parameters’ are given some creativity. We’re snookering ourselves every bloody transfer window. It’s so painful.

As someone else has said, it would be odd if they have completely pulled the plug given JDT has come on board (cheapest option would have been internal promotions). Unless it’s just more broken promises to Broughton/JDT. I really do wish the Vs would just feck off though. Sick of their negligence.
