F00k of5 Blackburn and shove your loans where the sun don’t shine, not what fans want. Screw you if you think I’m wasting my Saturdays watching us get pumped. We were promised signings and we have been taken for mugs. Raging 

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.

Im sorry but you are wrong

Im sat at home playing a board game with my daughter and missus. 

Thats cos I trust Mowbray. 

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 has been confirmed by many sources, wha do you mean its nonsense? 

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.

We've already spent more than you said we would so we can have that chat now if you like. ? Must say though if we splash out £4m on a midfielder and another few million elsewhere I think everyone will be pleasantly amazed. 

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.

Did we not score more goals under coyle. A horrendous manager but seemingly decent with attacking players?

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

I think John Marquis would be worth a gamble, the football Chris Brown wanted to be, ugly but useful 

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.

Why do we need a keeper?

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

Hilarious how it's been quite on here all day then at bed time everything has all of a sudden kicked off... Agents are right stiring keaners! Obviously trying to force through moves etc... 

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.

Disclaimer- I’m NOT A FAN OF THE VENKYS.

As Iv said before from several inside people...Venkys never refuse to pay the bill. They’ve had advisors around them at various stages with ‘strategies’ that meant lots of their money (millions) were spent on non frontline costs. I mean our agents fees have been astronomical over the years.

The accounts show that Venkys have no issues spending money. If they’d spent 90% of it on transfers and infrastructure we’d be in a very different place right now...£110m+ out of their own pockets? 

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.

SSN saying we’ve bid £4 million(!) for Luke Freeman. 

Its a nonsense IMO.

2 minutes ago, briansol said:

You are correct. That was just a name suggested here by someone who said he fit the profile. 

So far the only "real" striker links is Nhcema of Man City on loan (Alan Nixon) and Sam Gallagher (Rich Sharpe replied in a tweet that he could be a target). 

I'd be happy with Sam Gallagher.

Just now, islander200 said:

Nobody said he was a target did they?A few people mentioned him as someone who they would like to come in not that we have been directly in for him.

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

If you had read the links being posted to you, you would have read that "A striker is top of Mowbray’s wishlist" according to local journalist Rich Sharpe.

Under Mowbray, very little leaks out as far as linked players

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?

Just now, Wing Wizard Windy Miller said:

Because they will be our players! Plus most people would have taken that squad (with maybe the exception of Antonsson) to at least consolidate in 't championship.

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