If I were RN or JR's agent and I wasn't a Rovers fan, I would also be trying to move them on. They're wasted here frankly.

Even the LT comments thread is full of criticism for giving Chapman a one year deal then considering loaning him out. Fucking bizarre decision.

I hope you're wrong, because that would be a terrible mistake by us. With our current financial situation we shouldn't be paying any kind of loan fee for ANYONE. We are desperately in need of tying down some players so we aren't repeating this 5 loans cycle again every summer. If we can pay a loan fee we can pay a transfer fee, or renew a contract on an asset. We are doing these parent clubs a favour as much as they're doing us one, possibly more.

Leeds fans thought Douglas was class. Plus they're scum. Fuck Leeds fans.

Fair enough, the part about putting enquiries in with the agents made it seem otherwise. Think Joe just enjoys it and is interested.

As opposed to hours spent on scouting trips, then putting in the enquiries and failing which makes the whole exercise entirely pointless. Your issue that you've described isn't with the scouting method, it's with the actual transfer approaches. Which we are shambolic at.

Thought that was Sandler?

Only has a year left on his deal so don't expect they care how much he plays.

That won't be us. Probably Sheff United if their interest is real.

They're not even discussing data, they're discussing an actual scouting tool that involves watching clips. Not that having a thread for data means it can never ever be referenced here anyway, any more than a Mowbray thread stops his name cropping up here.

Wow, suicide from their keeper. Absolutely don't deserve to still be in this but I'll take it!

I assume you mean the dog from the adverts. 'Boss, I'm a 19 year old CM who just got here, are you sure I should be playing up front?' 'Ohhhh yes!'

Might as well start calling that 7 from 12.

Some ball from Clarkson. Rothwell comfortably our best player today.

Gallagher pulled out of that. If he had committed, keeper would probably have fouled and been in trouble.

A central midfielder, at that. From what we have heard, normally plays fairly deep. Kid must be confused as fuck.

Yeh from West Brom.

Mowbray moaned about what the quality of this game was gonna be like. But so far, if you were a neutral, this is the best and most open game we've had so far. Granted the actual quality is mostly coming from WBA.

Officials showing they're useless already. Like that offside just then against BB even though he stopped running and let it go to their keeper who hoofed it and lost possession. But he gave them a free kick anyway.

Booking all day that.

I'm certain he thinks it's the fans' fault for not letting themselves be fleeced.

They could have scored 3 times in that attack just 30 seconds in. We are going to get dicked.

I've seldom seen a bigger if. But if that did come to pass, it wouldn't be fickle, it would be a rational change of opinion.

What makes you assume we didn't move on before now? Just because it only just hit the press doesn't mean we didn't move on a while ago.
