If he knuckled down, Cantwell would be a very good signing.

Cantwell is naturally a No10. I think he’d be an improvement on Dolan personally.

That’s the spirit!

Have we signed this Beck chap, or just gossip?

No, Beck’s the loser.

There’s so little context in this post it’s untrue.

Excellent player on his day. If we got him for £1m and he was consistently playing well he’d be a bargain

it’s just a poor man’s John Bull

Personally I’d sign Germaine and a winger.

Jackson saying Iversen, Rushworth and Travers are the top 3 GK targets. Reading between lines he also implies Matondo is the Park choice and Dembele is the Eustace choice.

You’re getting confused again

I’m intrigued to know who Money Ken is? New investor?

Us yay, him nay.

Rules as I remember them, but they might have changed as I have not checked for a while: Can’t recall a player in first 28 days of loan. Can recall a player after that as long as it’s during transfer window and mutually agreed between both clubs. So he could play for us before January if the above rules are satisfied.

And we’re trying to sign Bournemouth’s kepa

Is he better than John Ruddy? Is he a recruitment team signing? Or Eustace’s nephew-in-law?

Just seen a tweet on BetFred: Burnley have spent more this summer (£36m) than Rovers have spent in the last 10 years (£27m) Humble, plucky Dingles 🤣

Haha, we’re favourites, good one. If humble ol Burnley could just put up a fight against big spending Rovers, that’s all the locals can ask🤣

Don’t put people on a pedalstool. Classic IT Crowd

So, in summary, we’ll firstly see if Ruddy and Dembele sign for us, and secondly see if they’re any good. All the rest is just conjecture and insinuation.

I’m not saying he isn’t ITK, but can you point me to something he/she has got right this summer? Also, I’m not arguing there isn’t some disagreement between manager and recruitment on who it’s best to sign, I just find the insinuation that Eustace just wants to sign his ex players regardless of whether they are any good a complete load of bollocks. The forums favourite ITK is comparing the Dembele/ Ruddy situation to the Pears/Mowbray situation, and we all know the background to that. I don’t think it’s fair or appropriate to undermine the managers integrity like that, and @unleaded has not responded to that point when I made it earlier.

I think you’ve misunderstood what is being said.

Hogans a free agent. If Eustace wanted him, and he has final say, he would just have signed him.

That’s probably BS, but if true a precedent has been set and they can do it again. So there shouldn’t be a problem and the recruitment team can crack on with the quality signings they’ve got lined up.

That’s literally what @islander200 said, he doesn’t care if the manager rates players he apparently wants to sign. I’d agree that’s very reductive!
