If it was close to being complete though there's no way he'd play, surely?

Come out with the right mindset and we should be comfortable. Getting a sneaky feeling that we are going to be over confident, take Carlisle a bit lightly and come unstuck...

Would need a couple of hundred million.

Shame about Davenport being stop-start so far... Could be the midfield option we are waiting for. But it will be interesting to see if Bell can cement a starting place and hopefully Rothwell & Travis can give TM some decisions to make. Probably a good game to play Fisher too? Looking forward to hopefully seeing the B-team and see what they can do. Always nice to have a little cup run, but won't be too upset if it goes tits up and we just concentrate on the league this year.

I find it fascinating, actually.

Well said. Though I do think “On The Road” was your best work.

Rovers twitter account shared a video of the last time we played. Think it was meant to be uplifting and positive, but it had a bit of the opposite effect on me! Some of the names in that team... how didn’t we get promoted at a canter!?

He's still very much a "would like" rather than an "expected". I have a chronic lack of imagination.

How is that any different to any other transfer though?

I'll keep banging this drum - Marcus Maddison is meant to be agreeing loan to buy on Monday with someone, or at least beginning the process (according to their owner) Was reported yesterday that we had stepped up our interest...

I agree. We should try to win this game, as well as many others.

They did finish 8th last year... Honestly have no idea what to expect from them at all!

So you agree we have to wait and see before having our tantrums?

Yes. If. And you are absolutely blowing your top and losing your shit assuming we won’t. That is also an “If” I also think Palmer/Rothwell will be better than Antonsson/Payne. Can’t say for sure yet, but neither can those who say we are weaker.

It will be pretty funny if we get 2 or 3 quality players in on loan with purchase agreed. In fact I’ll laugh me arse off.

Well, apparently we are going down now and are just relegation fodder so I’m sure a hard fought, battling point will be welcomed by all.

You’re a right barrel of laughs aren’t you? We can only wait and see. Think I’ll be speaking for a few when I say this kind of overreaction is childish, unfounded, unneeded, and very, very tiresome.

“Like it or lump it, the reality is that you have until August 31. I know permanent signings are until August 9 but we can all do loan signings that will become permanent signings, whatever it might be.” TM - last week

Alright Verruca Salt we can still get players in you know.

Yeah I was messing about

Would love to see the reaction on here if we sign someone in the next couple of hours, or if we have signed someone earlier in the day.

The early closing of the transfer window means that loans to guaranteed permanent will be rife, hardly any deals have been done. Not saying Rovers will do any, who knows, but if we signed Maddison/Gallagher etc TOMORROW would some people still be wishing we had Paul Bleeding Hurst? Still hilarious seeing everyone go batshit.

Right. Gonna need an exclusion zone bigger than Chernobyl this place.
