Yes, you were delighted when Gally and Hedges were injured. That's worked out well....

ah, I see, he got 10 for playing in the Belgium league. Cheers.

Anass Zaroury - Wikipedia That guy has just signed for Burnley. How did he get a work permit? Thought he wouldn't meet the requirements? Think @JoeHis the man to ask? Only asking cos apparently we have bids in for players in Europe.

And 'if' he doesn't do much we don't sign him. Win-win.

Get in! E-I-E-I-E-I-O

I think we're going to get to 800 pages before everyone grasps the concept of an option to buy at an agreed price.

And if he scores 20 goals in the Championship?

So there's still a chance of Barkley coming?

Because we've agreed the fee in advance.

I think he said he was going to retire if playing for Rovers on the right wing was his only option.

That's a hot take considering we don't know what the agreed price will be and if he's any good. £5m might seem like a bargain in 12 months.

We tried to get him back this summer...unsurprisingly he said no.

He's signing a new contract with Leicester, then coming here on loan....with an option to buy. Leicester are making sure they get top dollar if we buy him.

Who's Sharpe's source at the club who is telling him the club were never in for Styles and Bowler I wonder?

I heard it was 'Barclays bank are meeting Waggott at the STC to finalise the loan for the lad we're signing from Ross County'

In fairness to Sharpe he's said it will be a loan with option to buy for the last few days. Could be a good signing, big and mobile.

Haha, so he did! It will still be too late for 2023/24, half the season will have already gone 🙂

He said he's not counting this one, so his fourth window will be Summer 2024. I'm expecting big things in 2024/25. 😉 #ProjectJourney

@mackemlad @SAFCfaninpeace That's 👆a pretty good summary of Mowbray and his 5 years at the club. His Championship finishes of 15th, 11th, 15th, 8th are a fair refection of his tenure. It's criminal we didn't make the play-offs last season (we were 2nd at the half-way point) but Mowbray's teams seem to always slump after Christmas. It's happened here, at Coventry and at Boro. Think it was 2 wins in 17 last season for us after Christmas. Similar the year before too. Psychologically he also seems a bit flaky (or 'emotional' as our CEO put it after he left). When the bad runs start you may want to avoid his interviews. They will drive you insane. It's never his fault, put it that way! A decent man though, who clearly loves his football. You could do a lot worse. We have!

It was tongue-in-cheek really, it's just amusing he's using the same terminology as Mowbray. I like to see myself as always hopeful when it comes to Rovers, but I'm also cynical enough after 12 long years to doubt Venky's would know a good manager if it slapped them on the arse. Tiny little red flags are being raised at the moment about JDT. I hope I'm wrong.

LOL. Back on the fucking journey.

Transfer Deadline Day: Always hopeful, always disappointed 🙂

He always reads like he's setting Gregg up as the patsy! Gregg's Patsy. 😉

Fair enough RR. I can't see it myself, I'd imagine he'll have some options at lower level Prem teams.

I did a quick google on it many years ago when the tax avoidance stuff was raised, What @alcd says is true. Google it.
