Yes

Maybe Rovers should buy a few tickets too

From reading around twitter it seems more the opposite. Good at playing out from the back but a liability defensively. Who knows though. I'd rather it your way round I must say

He'd be a Championship player by season after this anyways. No chance West Brom are staying up

Was using it as more of a figure of speech but hey let's just leave it there. I'm not here to argue and neither are you so

Just another source ain't it. Never know what pops up here that isn't elsewhere. I'm not a big delver so pretty easy to find info on here. The news can be a depressing outlet but I still watch it as it is good to keep up on current events. I didn't imply that I was depressed reading this, I tend to skip past most of the bickering in all honesty, but you inferred that I'm depressed by it and now you're trying to flog it half to death. Trying to cause more arguments no doubt. Just chill out a bit, have a beer.

To see if there's any news... The thread is called "Summer Transfer Window" after all.

Yeah I can't understand how people are being slated for showing positivity. Imagine if everyone was as negative as some are on here, would be an even more depressing place than it often is. I don't class myself as being overly optimistic or positive, more realistic, but to see people slating and trying to make others less positive makes pretty grim reading. Misery loves company I suppose. Go out and enjoy the sun instead

Can't help but look at that team and think we're in trouble this season...

I would argue Carter showed in the last 2 games that he isn't ready, we conceded 6 in those games altogether. Particularly remember him looking really poor on the turn against Luton, their player raced away from him on more than one occasion. Mowbray has already stated since the first couple of friendlies that we need "men" at centre back. I don't look at Wharton and see someone who can dominate a striker. Granted Tosin didn't do that either but he had his other attributes. I'm not sure what Wharton's are. I'm agreeing with the Bell comments. He is poor, I just feel a poor left back is easier to mask than a poor centre half.

We haven't seen enough of Wharton and Carter at this level to know they aren't liabilities. And the centre of defence is arguably a more crucial position in general, literally the last bit of protection a goalkeeper has, you can't be be going into a season with only one good centre half at this level.

To be fair we have friendlies against Everton and Leicester coming up... Don't have to go to the continent to get decent opposition

Bell isn't great by all means, but we have gone on good runs with him in the team. For me priority has to be CB. Wharton and Carter have about 4 Championship starts between them. Carter didn't look ready and wasn't Wharton at fault for Blackpool's goal? Not saying that should be used to determine he isn't ready but personally I'd feel far more comfortable with someone next to Lenihan with similar experience.

Is this including Kaminski or 2 others?

Doesn't even make sense. Course you'll know whatever happens. He's a moron

Not a Bielsa type of defender. Can't see that. They've supposedly just bid 30m for a Lazio centre half. Aiming higher

Nothing about a bid being accepted though. They run stuff about interest sometimes, but usually deals don't get reported on there till very close. Like as is often the case with Rovers they don't reveal much until it's near enough done. One of the few positives about their lack of communication

Trying to remember a time when the LT has reported us to be in talks with a player and them not end up signing. They usually report well down the line of things. It seemed strange to read an article by them about us agreeing a fee. Wishful thinking probably but I feel like the Kipre deal must be quite far on.

Let's hope he's as wrong as he often is

Hope you're right!

Think that's in relation to the kit and sponsor only...

Surely Kipre can't be on that much money at Wigan. Feel like we'd be able to offer an improvement on his wages at least. Just hope no one else pops in for him. Aside from West Ham links a while ago I've not heard much else. Fingers crossed

Did we definitely want Phillips though? I know he seemed like a good proposition to us on here but that doesn't mean we tried for him and couldn't afford him..

Totally Wicked paid for it

Agreed. Whenever I've been there following Rovers I've always thought their reputation as fans was pretty unwarranted. They only make noise when they're angry. Though maybe you just can't hear them when sat all the way up in the nose bleeds stand that the away fans get shoved in. I think you'll be hard pressed to find many grounds that show as much passion and create as much noise these days in comparison to the 90s. Boring possession based football being favoured by managers over blood and thunder football from back then I feel is mostly to blame. Sound familiar?
