Nathan Jones (I know, I fucking KNOW) saying the McGuire deal has fallen through down to “money issues” around the terms. Have we - hypothetically - flown McGuire over on a handshake and then tried to change the agreement once he’s done his medical?

Why do I feel like we’ve done this before? Has this happened before? Who does this?

Wouldn't be a wasted journey for him. Sure someone would snap him up, Wednesday at least

We still need to persuade Finneran to sign a deal when he turns 16. Then another I think when he turns 17, as you can't sign full pro terms until then if I'm remembering it rightly. Even then, he's probably not going to make more than a few cameos next season. He's super talented but super young, can't see him breaking in as a regular until two seasons from now at best.

Your right, Plenty of hurdles to jump beforehand. Hopefully shows loyalty and commits

I find myself wondering if signing Ethan Brierley like we were supposed to would have set us up with a Wharton replacement (albeit probably not as good yet) in the medium term at least. Has only played one cup game for Brentford, but obviously they're a Prem team. Heard he was on their bench at least once. Ah well, we couldn't spell his agent's name and forgot to mention he was white or some shit, so fuck it.

Young Rory Finneran excuse the spelling will be the next player to be bedded in. Maybe this time next year we will see more of him. Looks a real talent and has that passing ability 

Been a long time since multiple players from Rovers have been linked to moves away. Assets have been created in this team and recruitment need to be spot on to carry on this process 

Short term deal, Doesn't hurt our squad at all and brings vital experience. But he's 37, his legs have gone, Evans at UTD still doing the job around his age at a higher level. Ayala was known for walking the youth through the games and training sessions. Funny how the defence has fallen apart since the experience has gone. Hyam will also benefit from this

Duncan McGuire is in Manchester. Hope he brought a coat, very different weather to Cancun.

Tommy got this one right 

Just messaged Buckley. Said he's a few weeks away 

Adam is a special talent no one will disagree. He only emerged late on last season and the only difference I see is our league position. One player doesn't make a team. Done well enough without him 

Your only worth what someone is willing to pay. No one else has jumped in with an offer so we have to take it. Hope the lad has a successful career, But after what happened to Dack we really can't afford to turn deals like this down

Yates would enjoy playing in our team with our attacking quality he would thrive. 

McGuire Seems like someone Rovers like and scouting. 

Can see it being a busy last 3 days for Rovers for ins and outs. 

Don't know what happens Wharton"s Palace bid. 

I hope they are very busy behind the scenes, every base covered for every scenario. Otherwise what are they being paid for

Dolan like a breath of fresh air, The work rate and how he finds those pockets of space. For me the link up play between Gally and Sammi was a joy to watch. Definitely been worked on and a great first goal. Another few nearly come off too

Don't think Gally goes anywhere. The way him and Sammi bounced off eachother tonight  was a joy to watch. definitely been worked on

Thought he did well coming on and he's so near....He does try and want to play a part.

Got great feet in tight spaces. Needs that bit of luck Infront of goal, even if it's a tap in

Unfortunately Cardiff is a fantastic city, so let's hope he's very settled in the North West. 

I would say there's more up your way than Cardiff. Wouldn't compete against the likes of Manchester

Down to the player apparently, hopefully he'll want to stay close to home instead of moving down there.

Would of thought so, specially when Cardiff manager released statement in past few weeks stating he doesn't know wether he's going to stay on 

Sheff wednesday having one last pop at Duncan McGuire. Reports from America said we had bid for him but nothing concrete this end

Apparently only good with someone up top with him.

View from the swans fans.

Should be alright in our set up, specially with the amount of player we throw forward

If Chelsea get involved we are more than likely to get the loan back option we are after

That might be Ben Davies from Preston you have confused him with.

Your definitely right 👀🤣

Liverpool bought him as a panic buy a few years ago if I remember as they had a lot of defensive injuries. He was one of the championships best centre halfs that season. Not had much game time but he's got to have something about him training with that quality week in week out. 

Looks as tho palace have turned attention from Wharton to Birmingham's Jordan James 

Did the player not want to go, Or venkys valuation wasn't met. Either way we've not seen those figures for way over a decade 

Just now, Polky said:

 

Looks a unit. Was just going through that post and not one bad thing said about him. Many believe that he's destined for the top

Think this lad will surprise a few. We had to send Wharton and Carter down the leagues for experience and they come back better players. Plenty of air ball in league 2, Hopefully give us some added height and aerial ability

I don’t think Whartons mum retweeting that is a sign of anything - Maybe it’s a proud thing? 

Maybe it's a kick up the backside to speed up the jump from sinking ship
