He's from Nebraska so I doubt it.

I think there's a player in Garrett, but he needs a L1 loan. So does Leonard really. Sadly with these owners in charge they're being relied upon for serious minutes in the Championship.

Well as someone that does get down there every home match, I sincerely hope we get McGuire over the line. I'd like to watch a (potentially) good striker, if that's all the same to you.

I understand that we lose money. It's the flat £20m a year figure that's clearly dodgy as hell. We've lost Dack, Brereton-Diaz, Ayala, Kaminski, Rothwell, Lenihan, Johnson etc etc from the wage bill in the last few years. All the big earners (bar Gallagher) have gone, yet that mysterious £20m figure remains. We're literally operating with loans, Academy graduates and L1 punts now.

Apparently we asked Bolton for £500k at the end of his loan, so I'd assume somewhere around there.

I'm still trying to understand how we routinely lose £20m when the wage bill has been absolutely obliterated. No wonder they're being investigated for tax fraud / evasion.

I guarantee you've only seen one of our January transfers play before. You can't make sweeping statements about their quality before you've seen them play in a Rovers shirt. Maybe you're right, maybe they're all terrible, but you've got such a hatred for Broughton that you've written them off already. It's bizarre. For the record I think Broughton is doing a good job in very, very trying circumstances. Could he be doing a better job? Yes, but then he'd be off to a more functional club asap.

It has to be JRC. He's the only one creative enough.

Buckley can't play in a midfield 3, he's not athletic enough. He either has to play as a #10 (which he's not great at) or as a pivot. As I understand it, Wednesday played with a midfield 3, with Buckley playing as one of the Box-to-Box options.

You don't get down to Ewood Park much then I gather?

I heard about this fella from Nazareth who fed 5,000 with five loaves of bread and a few fish. Maybe we should give him a call, see if he's interested?

Like "Gregg, how do you assemble a Championship quality squad with literally buttons? 'Cos the fans demand that you do and are blaming you for the owners' inability / refusal to put money into the club"?

Good luck to him. He turned up unfit to Rovers and looked slow af whenever he got on the pitch. If we've got him off the books and made a small profit then that's a great deal for us - he was definitely worth a punt, but it just hasn't worked out.

I think Ennis has been passed up by Telalovic. Leonard is already ahead of him. If we're getting a fee for him that's a blinding bit of business - he's barely played.

The sad thing is he's young enough for this to be all he's ever known. The great club we once were was before his time.

No, but they were significantly wealthier than us.

Not if we stick with 3 at the back. We definitely need another CM though.

Wharton's body language is usually pretty poor - but he looked particularly forlorn in his tracksuit as the last player to walk off on Monday. Little did we know that'd be the last time we saw him in Rovers colours. I hope he comes back for a home game so we can give him a proper send off.

Do you have trouble reading people?

At least check out Manchester first - it's the greatest city in the world.

LOL so $700k for 4 months then.

That won't be cheap. They're throwing money around.

Well if Brekalo isn't in England right now he's not getting a medical done in time, so that one isn't happening.

I wasn't blown away by his highlights, to be honest, but he seems to have a knack for goal. If he's physical at 6' that'd be a damn sight more than we get from Gallagher et al.

So he's off to Manchester at 4pm then - assuming that's a medical with us. Bonkers way to operate.
