At least we know where we stand now and can refocus on the important goal.. Venkys out.

LET confirms it unlikely Rovers will make ANY signings before the 5pm deadline. So there you go. VENKYS OUT.

on this one chaddy, you are being too positive. By your own words you felt we needed strengthening. That isn't happening. Its not good. For once, at least acknowledge some disappointment.

It was never going to be accepted.

I felt last nights 'bid' for freeman was a nonsense.. I reckon its as I suggested, our budget for perm signings was used up entirely on Armstrong.. Loans only now.

If we do splash out, its the least we are owed IMO. Sick to my back teeth of FFP excuses, when other clubs spend every season.

A bit off topic, but when nzonzi went for 3m from Rovers, who thought in a few years he'd be on the pitch at the final whistle of a world cup he'd won? But Sam couldnt spot a player..

Kalinic attitude at the world cup not good. Not one you'd want in the trenches with you.

That's probably fair.. Just that we leaked like a sieve too.

He'd be on the 'D list'..

Gallagher scored goals for us before. He did that despite the woeful Coyle in charge. He's our safest bet IMO.

Oh we do.. Raya needs pushing. A loan option would be fine here.

Not even 11pm yet.

If we are building for promotion push in future, I'd expect at least 3 quality perm additions each season. The rest made up of loans I'd accept.

All of their own doing. They came in and without any experience, felt they knew better than the likes of Sam allardyce and john Williams.

Sorry to sound like a stuck record, but the targetman is key for me.

If true.. And we have money.. Why wait till now?

Come back after pen is put to paper.

Its a nonsense IMO.

I'd be happy with Sam Gallagher.

ok I just don't see the point in doing that. It just causes confusion.

I keep reading Chris martin this and that.. But there's no suggestion at all he's a target.

KHOD.. My apopolgies.. It was Stuart who made the Stockholm syndrome comment.. Silly me.

We desparatly need a targetman.. I haven't even seen us linked with any.. Does TM feel we don't need one?

I beg to differ.. We need improving.. That now seems a distant hope.
