It will be interesting to see what we do in January tbh.

Merry Christmas everyone

But we still get the financial reward of the PL money to offset any money we get from selling him now. We simple don't know what BBD will do after this season. Well Mowbray ain't going to tell us is he that he didn't need to sell Rothwell to fund other signings is he?

Like I said previous we will have agree to disagree on Hirst. Who would you like us to sign has a striker in January since you want a striker signing?

fair enough. I think BBD is worth at least double that if not more if we get promotion with him this season Who says it Gossip tho?

You seen Hirst for yourself so you should know. Also I posted what I thought his attributes were after the Stoke Game.

Lenihan and Nyambe were still in discussions with the club in January and was even towards end of the season? Haven't several posters claimed that Mowbray had more money to spend then he claim and he never spent his entire transfer budget each window?

when did we get 12 million offer for Rothwell or even BBD?

well we have to agree on to disagree on this

not sure there is such an agreement as he must play but more along the lines that if he doesn't play you pay more of his wages then you do if he is playing

Who did Mowbray have line up to replace Rothwell? wasn't it Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil?

Which do you mean by go for it? If it spending loads of money we don't have it due to FFP but we can trade and buy the squad that wise. We now have invested in the recruitment department and brought in Gus Williams and several new staff members to we need to allow that to find the right players and for the right prices. Hopefully we can find some gems in European market like Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia areas. Plus keep developing and using our own players from the academy. You don't sell your players on the cheap which we would be in the past summer with BBD. His worth is much more to the team that is challenging for top 6 which I didn't expect this season. On Rothwell I would have sold him last January and given that he wasn't going to sign a new contract and wanted out for number of months due to family reasons.

Based on my opinion of each player. Big fan of Vale and I think he would develop into a good player for us. Yet you rate Mola who has done what so far? Different strikers have different fundamentals like Shearer and Sheringham were very different types of strikers or Shearer or Jansen. From what I seen from Hirst which he lacks is confidence that only got dented more when he missed that Penalty at Cardiff. I was gutted for him. I think he makes some very good runs between the centre backs and full backs against Stoke. If you look at his Portsmouth spell he started slowly then improved around Christmas time and after All depends on the terms of the loan agreement and whether we there is an early terminate clause or whether Leicester have a recall clause aswell.

The EFL does it own TV deal and it has put streaming 3pm kick offs on the table whilst the PL to the best of my knowledge hasn't done this. Why the EFL has done this I don't get? They seem to think they can better TV deal by doing this but I don't see it. The EFL should be looking at capping prices for fans at each level to attract more fans to stadium and live football

we have 3 options if Gallagher can't start games if you want a striker in Hirst, Vale and Dolan. I would have no problem in starting any of them if Gallagher can't start and I have faith in them

I have disagree with you, he gives depth and strengths in forward areas and his adaptability to play 2 or 3 different positions but given how we play with just front 2 means he missed out, but now we playing 4-2-3-1 formation we will see much more of him starting games when has pressing number 9 or as wide player.

He has played many games as the number 9 but we like our front players to roam and freedom from set positions when Attacking. We performed much better when he is part of the team then without.

I would say yes in terms of goals and assists plus impacts on games this season has been better.

We will have to agree to disagree. I think we should add 1 or 2 players in January whilst you want at least 4 signings.

How was it a cryptic answer when we both have discussion at length your point before the world cup started and we have talk about his strengths after his first start. we couldn't agree

We have already had this discussion before the world cup was on and in different thread. Yet you asked the same question again.

I think Garrett has shown he is more the up to it as he has shown in the games he played. You and I plus others have already had this discussion already. We won't agree. You want to keep adding players to the squad/positions where we already have enough players for that position. I think we need to just look to sign 1 or 2 players in January. Right back and another forward option if Dolan is out long term or BBD leaves or we send Hirst back We are already competing in the league aren't we and we are 3rd in the league or is that not compete for you?

Still would have like to be there watching Rovers even if the result wasn't what we wanted I do think Hirst needs a proper run of games so he can get match fit and match readiness to show whether he can produce or not at this level. He hasn't played much in recent weeks before the international break but given how we are playing I'm not sure he will get the starts I think he needs to produce. On sending him back all depends on the loan agreement terms and whether we can send him back or not. I do think Hirst needs a proper run of games so he can get match fit and match readiness to show whether he can produce or not at this level. He hasn't played much in recent weeks before the international break but given how we are playing I'm not sure he will get the starts.

We already know what the objective as Rovers spoke about this over the summer. we are 3rd in the league and I would rather use the players we have in midfield then bring in another meaning it 6 players fighting for 2 spot in the starting 11 and 1 on the bench.
