The link doesnt even work...lol cant even get the website to work

No chance a deal has been done if theres been nothing this late. The staff will have been on site for ample time to get something out. More likely theres some internal arguing and desperately coming up with a saving face excuse.

Hope is there's a couple of names to be announced today, Expectation is that we achieved fuck all and the announcement is that there is no announcement! Fully expect to hear nothing. Hope to be proved wrong. There are clubs with more strict FFP restrictions than ours that still manage to get business done more efficiently than us. Amateur shambles at times.

Talk of multiple missed targets, a manager wanting players and not getting them, best player off for nothing. Not good reading in any way. Strikes me as a bit of a shambles. I suspect that between the manager, GB and the new scouting/recruitment staff the club can identify targets but a mix of FFP and owners who dont care makes it impossible to get anything other than bargain basement deals over the line. I could easily see JDT, GB and co walking away after a while of this. In other non Rovers related transfer news, City are letting Cancelo go on loan with option to buy to Bayern. Cant believe City are happy to let him go. He was one of the best 2 or 3 full backs in world football last season. Mental.

Cant say I'd ever heard of Sorba Thomas until yesterday. We're crying out for some more pace in the side so if he brings this then its a good addition. Cant get too excited however about a winger who can't get in huddersfields side, when to me were more desperate for a striker and centre mid. Is he much different to Dolan or Markanday, time will tell. Hopefully hes as well as ST and CM and not instead of. Strikes me a bit like Giles last season, came when leading the assist charts only to find Gallagher couldnt out jump a drawf. Ended up at right back or something.

Increasingly confident that we wont sign anyone. Silence from GB and signs of frustration from JDT. Hope is well doe something, expectation is nothing.

Is Markanday injured? He seems to have been the only semi bright spark in the last month.

Gundogon has agreed a free transfer to Barcelona. 32 years old but pretty sure City would have kept him around if they could. Another example of players running down contracts.

I actually think Brereton will turn out to be fairly mediocre. La Liga is probably a good move for him as I dont think he would ever be a regular goalscorer in the prem. Our mistake was not accepting any bids in the summer. On the other side, if the club offered him another 5 year deal 2-3 years ago when I thought he was garbage Id have thought why? Seems to be a more common thing now of players refusing to sign contracts. Even happens at top clubs e.g. Pogba, Sterling. They know they can get higher wages if the new club isnt paying a transfer fee, leaving the selling club without much leeway.

This is a sackable performance

We are wank. Apart from 2 or 3 players the rest of the squad is bottom 5 quality. A fluke start to the season got us up there

There's barely any goals in this side. It's unreal that we are so high in the league with such a shit squad and in general poor performances. May as well try Dack upfront and Markanday and Dolan either side. Can't be any worse.

Gareth Bale has just announced his retirement from football (both club and International) on Instagram. Top player in his day who probably doesn't get the credit he deserves. His motivation and physical abilities both seemed to wane over the last couple of years

Everton dont want him back. Amazing how quickly one of the countrys most talented youngsters has fallen into obscurity. Still only 26. Suspect lots of money too early and who else knows what pressures come with that have caused him to loose his appetite for the game.

Admittedly I don't get chance to go to many live games at Ewood, but the last game I watched against Sunderland he was abysmal. No effort, no press, slow passing, gave the ball away constantly and gave away a pen. Got sent off the next game so I'm not his biggest fan. To be honest I don't really rate any of our midfield options. The only solution for me is a complete overhaul in the transfer market.

Wow what an absolute shambles. The start of a Tomasson death spiral....lost my faith in him.

After watching the shambles vs Sunderland, and 4 abject performances out of 5 my enthusiasm is quickly waning. I cant fathom how we've been so crap for long periods and are still 3rd. Despite all the issues, were still in a great place and a few additions in January could cement a play off spot. The top 2 are miles ahead. Out of everyone, Buckleys performance was an abomination the other day. Bad attitude and bad ability. Hes 100% out and back to the U23s for me. Gallagher wasnt much better. Midfield is just trying something different, and two players who might actually run abit. Weve not seen Markanday much, he cant be worse than Hirst. Pretty damning that apart from Hyam, none of the summer transfers are anywhere near the squad. Desperate for some investment in Jan to keep it going. Kaminski Hyam Ayala Wharton Hedges Garrett Travis Pickering Dack Markanday BBD

We've been 2nd best all game. Apart from the GK, CBs and BBD they can all be sold for me. How the fuck are we third??? Awful

Buckley has been woeful. Gives the ball away and plays with 10% effort. A player who thinks he's miles better than he is.

We've been properly shit this half. Forwards haven't had a touch and the midfield has been miles off it. Midfield has to be a focus in January. Said it for ages we don't have enough power or energy in there. That's the weak point of this side.

Unreal game. France did what they did against England, second best for long periods but score their first chance. The extra time was the most frantic I've ever seen. Amazing way for Messi to go out. Bit like an end of an era this world cup as some of the best players to have ever play the game (Messi, Ronaldo and Modric) probably won't be seen on the international stage again.

Burnley looking a class above this season. Some good business in the transfer window as well. Their winger Manuel Benson looks a good find. 7 goals and 4 assists signed from Royal Antwerp.

Wow didn't see that result coming after the last few performances, especially with that starting 11. Jekyll and Hyde team this one. The fact we're still picking up wins rather than draws has kept us in the promotion hunt. We're not as good as the top two but as long as we don't go on a Mowbray spiral and maybe do some business in January the playoffs are definitely possible.

Pleased to see he has gone for the same side as last game. I was convinced he would get nervous and revert back to his defensive 5 at the back.

Back to back hammerings to the dingles and preston is a shocking return. Mega unconvinced by JDT as I think or league position is false. We've been awful for large parts of the season. I don't think we will finish anywhere near the top 6 which is a shame as the league this year is as bad as I can remember. Hope I'm wrong
