14th John Buckley Ashley Phillips Burnley 1st

Only advice I would give is ring the club on Monday and never try to navigate the Rovers ticket site again.

Well obviously. But surely if that was the only detail to tidy up then he wouldn't be playing today.

Yep true. Although if what Glen had heard was correct that the only thing left to sort out was a sell on clause, surely he wouldn't be playing today. Not a slight on Glen, but it looks like it's no where near as close as he was lead to believe.

Be amazed if he chose us over Besiktas. Said earlier in the thread that Styles would go the same way as Anel and Davies. Someone was always going to gazump us for him. Think it will be the same with Bowler too.

I think Styles will eventually go the same way as Davies, Anel etc. Don't doubt there is interest but don't think the deal will be done. Moreton I don't know, could go either way obviously. Presume he is a clear step up from Wharton/Garrett or whats the point.

I would have thought it would have been the Bosnian defender

Now right back is sorted i would be happy with another 3 players of similar quality to Brittain. A CB, CM and a forward who can play all accross 4 positions ideally. More than happy to have the likes of Vale, Barnes, Garrett, Wharton etc padding out the squad.

Come on Henning can't be a maybe. Came back and helped lead us to a promotion, a cup win and a couple of campaigns in Europe. He was superb in his second stint. Dunny was hit and miss for sure, but his season in 09-10 was superb playing further forward off the striker. Anyway, i wouldn't take Poveda back, i'm sure there are better quality players out there we could get for that position.

JRC needs a loan for me. Maybe keep Brown as back up to Brittain.

I agree in theory although there are exceptions, Henning Berg, Colin Hendry, Chris Price, even David Dunn had a bit of an indian summer in 09-10.

Don't mind one, but i'm not sure we should be going out and getting 3 players from the same club that have just been relegated.

They have to try and justify that 1875 membership somehow.

Think its clear Brittain is just another name that has been thrown out there as window dressing. For this one, i'm going to predict the fee is a "problem" before he signs for someone else for an undisclosed one.

Come on lads, @simongarnerisgodis clearly having you all on 😁

Of course not, but you know that. Do you think Diaz himself will see a few grand a week here, or potentially x4/5 his wages somewhere else and think "I don't see how it matters, I'll stay here". He would want that regardless of having a kid, but now he is i imagine he would want to get a move sorted, a 4/5 year contract somewhere and settle down in time for the new arrival.

Why? Red has been a traditional away colour for Rovers for decades.

I reckon he could. I think he would prefer to do it on tens of thousands a week though don't you?

They have to get them here for the open traning session on Monday.

Venkys fulfilling a promise 😁 I do have to ask if you have been following us at all for the past 11 years.

We have never reinvested money before from player sales in venkys tenure, so i'm going to say no. The thing GB & JDT needs to do to get a fairly healthy budget is to fly to India and tell venkys how great they are for a few days.

I really hope there was one or two tough questions for Waggott at the Forum last night.

Baby Diaz is due in January. I would think he will want a big fat contract from somewhere prior to this window ending and being settled somewhere on good money before the arrival in Jan. It won't be here.

As predicted 😁

Same as us.
