I'm with you. I actually don't want Assombalonga, he turned down a premier league move to go to Boro for 5k a week extra. Fuck that attitude.

Bolasie going to Boro as well according to Twitter...

I bloody hate all these loans, it's madness. What happened to the good old fashioned transfer? Pay the bloody money and start a merry go round. Chelsea have signed a striker on loan with "the option to make it permanent for 40m quid". The option? Crazy.

First ever post on the forum. Talk about making a rod for your own back!

Yes. If Madon is keeping quiet I'm finishing this window in style.

I predict... Boro agree to sell Assombalonga due to a deal with Gallagher being confirmed. We all think he's going to sign for us. Premier League team panic buys him on the final day. No Gallagher, No Assombalonga. Happy Days.

There was a journalist that used to post here - Alan Nixon - when he was running a story RE Rovers he would post it here first at 11 o'clock the night before. This was because it was too late for any other papers to steal the story. Thus, the 11 oclocker was born, while we all waited eagerly for him to say either "nothing going" or tell us news which would have been available to us otherwise at 12pm, at 11pm.

Press info instead.

He'll buy everyone on this forum a beer like the other person has generously offered.

Agreed - I really would rather have Gallagher on 15k than Assombalonga on 40k. This club has been through hell and back due to spending too much. Imagine we sign him on 40k and he breaks both his legs!

To be clear, I will hold you to this.

Rashford? Good god, surely a loan? We're going up!

Are you suggesting Middlesborough is more of a cosmopolitan area than Blackburn? I mean, Blackburn isn't great. But Middlesborough really is the pits.

Expecting two signings today...

NOW WE'VE GOT A THREAD!

Good god, I thought he was closer to 30! Evening else stands, but no, he isn't aging. He's just been playing for what seems like forever.

I'm not sure I even want him. Aging, some big injuries, big pay cheque, big transfer fee. I'd rather we spent our money better.

We can rule out defenders then

Rovers fans where singing racist songs last season, no point trying to paint us as holy.

Madon knows.

He's only saying that because we started mischief making on here.

Is it true? Does it matter?
