Kieran Clark available on loan, I’d be all over that 

No issues with splashing the cash as long as there is enough to go round and cover other areas. If we are blowing the whole lot on one lad tho I would be a bit miffed as there has been other deals done over summer that look a bit better value for money. In saying that, I don’t know a lot about Brereton, I’d be lying to say that I’d heard of him prior to deadline move but I’d be excited to see him in a rovers shirt and see what he is about and it’s a blessing that rovers are back in the champ with this kind of money to spend after the dark uncertain times of being relegated and looking like we were on a massive slide with no end in sight.

Interested to see Davenport when he is fit. Think a mid of Palmer, Davenport , Bennett and Rothwell could be decent. Dack behind either Armstrong or graham 

Gallagher most likely for me, think chapman is on verge of boro team, Maddison link is doing my head in as have had no indication. Would be chuffed with Brereton all the same 

Didn’t we have Gary Croft as rb who scored against Chelsea? I might be a few years ahead 

Away, if we could get gestede back I’d be jumping for joy

There’s a shock, Smallwood not good enough as I said constantly from about February last season to much criticism. He is rotten

I’d be ok with Huth, the rest no thanks

Only player to join Derby yesterday was Duane Holmes.

Pretty sure Wells was part of the vydra deal

Honestly if I hear Maddison is coming one more time, until there is a concrete link from a reliable source please stfu

I don’t think the offer to forest was accepted, certainly never seemed close. SSN broke it and dismantled it in about 5 minutes. I can’t see champ teams or lg1 teams loaning out their best players when they have their own aspirations to deal with. Transfers are much more attractive than loans, so I think we will struggle for quality 

I’m struggling to see the benefit of a team allowing these loans you talk of, 

1- they will say yea come back in January 

2- why deplete their own squad when they can’t use the money to sign replacements.

Means the only loans that will be available is big team u23 players, which won’t be for long term and no future fee agreed.

today was the day to make our squad ready and competitive and it hasn’t happened. Think a good few are clinging on to these fabled loans that won’t happen

For me- horrific 

I wish the people who claim to be itk and we are doing this or that had two strikes and they are out if they get found out to be talking utter bs. Why do that just to get comments? Should stick to actual links and who fans want not made up nonsense that just turns to disappointment 

Only Bolton and Rotherham have poorer squads in my opinion, long season ahead without additions 

Squad badly needed improvements, Williams, Smallwood, evans, Conway, nuttall, Samuel, downing, caddis, gladwin all not good enough for this league. Money to spend apparently and where exactly have we strengthened. Our forward is 32 now and wasn’t mobile in his prime. Even leaving is this late is a shambles. Don’t know why we have been spoon fed rubbish all summer if our perm signings are 3 unproven players at this level and a stop gap from Chelsea 

Mowbray has ballsed this big time, I knew we should’ve got hurst in when we had the chance. Can only see relegation - relegation dogfight with this squad 

I like chapman but I would be underwhelmed yes and fearful for season ahead. Would feel like we were promised a lot and had little delivered

Not seen it anywhere, but has anyone picked up on this Lithuanian lad?

 

Is folk taking the pee with this, every page has a comment about what about this Lithuania lad, isn’t a first team signing so enough already. Like a bad running joke

If mowbray really needs a no nonsense centre half in, Steven caulker is impressing at Dundee, 26 and looks to have the head screwed on now. Available for 1,5

We aren't signing a third left back to supplant an ever-present from last season and a guy we spent half a million on to compete with him 8 months ago. You might as well not think about that, it absolutely won't happen whether you think it should or not.

Not if Williams is converted into centre half cover instead of lb starter. He ain’t too good at lb and bell hasn’t been digging up trees. Would mean we don’t need to track Bauer which we probably won’t be getting 

I’d be happy with deadline day deals for McGinn, Oviedo and pitman 

we could then play

            Raya

nyambe. Mulgrew  lenihan. Oviedo

                Davenport

bennet.                         Mcginn

               Dack

              Graham  Armstrong 

Strong team there

Striker options for me should be Gary hooper, pitman or Conor Washington 

Firstly I’d have taken a point before the game and iv not seen the highlights yet but what I’m gathering is the same issues not addressed

full backs- not good enough particularly Williams. He is a liability particularly at this level. Nyambe should be sub with an experienced pro in there.

evans/ Smallwood - not good enough, Smallwood doesn’t have enough to his game and his gasket is blown after a half. Evans doesn’t impose himself/ control the game anything like he should and his shooting is terrible, how many does he sky over the bar or kick into the ground. Neither should be starters

Samuel/nuttall - 

not good enough, crying out for a more accomplished striker to ease the burden on graham. Neither of these two are the answer.

raya- still makes too many basic errors for me. Does win points but throws away a lot too.

mowbray- has never mastered the final 10 minutes. How often do we concede late goals and how few times do we net late winners. Difference between average managers and good ones. Hurst seems to be great at getting late goals.

Overall- yes it’s great to get promotion and you feel like you should be loyal to your team but I’m afraid a few of them should have been left in lg 1, as that’s their standard. A thank you for getting us up but we have now outgrown you sorry, would suffice. It’s the nature of football. Never rest on your laurels, tough decisions must be made. Feel like Tony is trying too hard to be mr nice guy il give you a chance to some of them.

squad needs a good few transfers this coming week.

take the point and move on. I’d say hopefully lessons learned but they never seem to be 

Nobody has confirmed that this is a perm deal
