Great to see you are endorsing this signing and seems to have the stats to back this up. I agree. Its look like at least 4 permanent signings maybe 5 with either 1 or 2 loans signings which is the right balance and we aren't over reliant on loans like under Mowbray time here. on the numbers debate a number of those players have been replace in the squad by our young players like Vale, Phillips, Adam Wharton and Garrett. We are currently advertising for that role after Mowbray got rid of it last summer. Is a forward isn't it? I think its be striker and it will be permanent signing for 2 to 3 million. (just my opinion) What type of full back is he? who does he play for currently?

Who says we are on D list? We will have 5 or 6 names on lists for each position. JPVH isn't coming back and SVDB deal is taking far too long for Liverpool to confirm and we can't wait anymore. Time we move on and we have finally bringing in 2 defenders surely the judge to this is when they have sign and playing for us. Judge their performances on the pitch not on paper or internet.

Mercer, I agree with you and I think alot will come down to where they want to raise their new born children(due in the next 7 months) and what his missus wants whether they want to stay UK based or live in Spain or France. I would say that Buckley has replace Rothwell in the playing role with Dack replace Buckley in the playing role cos we didn't really have Dack back last season. Look better this season even if not 100% yet Van Hecke ain't coming here on a permanent contract Tom. This is why we moved on Hyam now which looks like happening now.

tell you in the pics you if you enhance the picture

great innings by Stokes and Foakes England on top now. Leach to spin us to the win tomorrow maybe

Great to see Rovers trying new food and finally different type food from just Chips, Burgers and hot dog.

Celta Vigo are looking to sign BBD. Link to the links thread

transfer update from Elliott Jackson

Davis has gone to Watford. Gyokeres would cost too much for us unless we get the majority of BBD money We still haven't plugged any of the gaps? really? so Brittain has replaced Nyambe or Szmodics replace Khadra or Morton replace Johnson. Maybe you been living in a different world this last few weeks. Bid been rejected Somerset Rover by PSG. Mowbray was very lucky to survive as long as he did. Khadra was awful Gav. Too much of show pony and player I'm pleased we didn't re sign this summer.

Does it really make any difference if Hyam is third or fourth choice on the list but he still on the shortlist for centre back position. JDT will be involved in the final process before we sign players. Got to trust our recruitment team and research and scouting that they done I didn't realise I was professional Scout for Rovers 😉🤔 Not a replacement for BBD for me. Ideally you want right foot on the left. Bowler played on the right where we enough players to fill the side of pitch.

Yet again you missed the main point of the post about the poster opinion based he didn't even know him a hour or 2 ago. anyway I moving on

he retired 5 years ago.

ask Coventry and Mark Robins. Maybe the fee could help them make their pitch payable so they could play games at home. Also maybe they could use that money for a couple of cheap signings

how can people have doubts about the signing when the person who posted his doubts didn't even know who the player was a hour or 2 ago? strange attitude and mentality to have tbh. No I tried to not be over judgemental from the day one on a player unless I know enough about the player. Agree with your points about his age, experience, permanent transfer. Also he can play in back 3 aswell as back 4.

I will let you make your own judgement when he is in Rovers colour of Blue and White I don't think we would sign another number 10 but we did so that 1 increase and then from judgement made from the opening 6 games. why aren't we going to 4 or 5 signings before the deadline? why keep being so judgement from the start and especially when a hour or 2 ago he didn't even know the player was. Yakubu retired 5 years ago but I wouldn't make such comments on judgements on players I never heard of a hour or 2 ago. I would look to do some research or wait to he has played in Rovers Blue and White shirt

Do you really think JDT has signed off with us bringing him in given his previous comments when he was unveiled that he has say yes to any signing coming in? you enjoyed suggesting problems with the DoF/Head coach structure when they isn't one don't you? Does Ayala have pace? exactly. exactly and played regular over the last 2 years clearly not cos the deal would have been done otherwise

Davies went to Rangers who are playing Champions league football now. Sheffield United out bid on wages for Anel where we couldn't match them. those are the facts of the matter. Brighton don't want to loan or sell Van Hecke at the minute. So how do you sign him by over paying for him?

Yes. he played against us and seen him a number of games on TV. He has played 88 championship games in a couple of season and 2 games this season

I don't this attitude of calling any player underwhelming even before he sign here. I really do despair with this sort of attitude from Follow Rovers fans. He has 88 championship games in 2 season and 2 games this season that been played. He has been key part of their success at Coventry including 2 promotions and he is only 26 years old so his prime years should be here

Hyam has been key part of the success there including 2 promotions there and experience solid Championship defender. Why keep knocking him when you never heard of him a hour ago?
