Surprised that the are over the FFP threshold but Probably why their asking price for certain price are crazy. Surprised they didn't sell Maddison to Newcastle when they offer 40 million for him

we have to move him on quickly and I wonder if this is part of him wanting out this window. Maybe Sevilla or Nice would be his choice or PL move to Everton. We need to get the deal done quickly for him and use some of the money for a striker and wide player. So we need at least 1 centre back depending whether we are playing 2 or 3 centre back, 1 centre midfielder, 1 left winger, 1 striker, some on here want a left back in. Its going to be busy last 10 days for Rovers now. Gregg Broughton will need to be sleeping at the training ground 🤣

we probably could afford both but given that Bowler is linked with Forest and Fulham, a deal for us seems unlikely. No point wasting time on it. On Styles, maybe he not fancy by our management team. Rovers need between 4 to 6 depending who is posted and if our budget left is around 6 million then I'm not sure we can spend 3 mil plus on one player surely.

I do not know what going on at Leicester with no summer signings apart from 3rd choice keeper being signed there. Has the owner cut the funding there? They need to sell Tillemans and Fofana who both want out. Its just seem abit of mess there.

Rovers have no interest in Styles or Bowler

Still living in the past Jim. Football has move on massive in terns of scouting Opportunities and bring in players Mercer, I am fully aware of when the transfer window. Play in different positions so not a right comparison

I have spoken about the championship transfers being slow in the last couple of weeks which is true if you look at transfers completed within that timeframe Yes we lost some decent/good players but have upgrade on right back in Brittain for one. Just need to bring a couple in this week. Liverpool denying the Van Der Berg loan deal hasn't help us in terms of bringing in signings I am talking about Van Der Berg from Liverpool, Matt Clarke from Brighton and Matty Longstaff from Newcastle. Clarke and Longstaff are out of contract in summer 2023. I don't know how much they are on wages wise but hopefully we can afford them. Yes I am fully aware of the work permit situation with European deals but there is plenty of players we can sign. Here is 1 centre back, 1 midfielder and 1 striker. All 3 qualify for work permit and wouldn't need an appeal process. Centre back - Ismael Kandouss from Royale Union Saint Gilloise. contract ends in summer 2023. Maybe 1 to 1.5 million pounds. Centre midfielder - Erdal Rakip from Malmo. contract ends in 4 months. Would cost very little Striker - Dante Vanzeir from Royale Union Saint Gilloise. contract ends in 2024. Might cost 3 to 4 million. This is from a quick search and Rovers scout players from all over the world using tools like wyscout, etc. So they would have better ideas on players they can sign and scout them in more detail than I can since I am not pro scout or have any interest in working in Football.

Who said we are other championship players cos I would be looking towards the PL and foreign market for signings. Players from Liverpool, Brighton, Newcastle or foreign market like Germany or Scandinavia Us, Blackpool, PNE, Swansea, Boro all looking for more players. Boro hadn't signed a striker 3 and half ago despite chasing striker after striker. They have now got 3 strikers but been chasing them or months after months Exactly the budget will be gone and we still have a couple of position that need filling. I would look to bring 4 quality players. 2 centre backs, 1 centre midfielder and 1 striker. It all comes down to how much the transfer fee or loan fee cost plus wages fitting in with the wage budget

The Newcastle Man City was full of quality and very entertainment.

Suggest you look at how much activity there is in the Championship transfers market. Not much at all. Its very slow. Clubs aren't releasing players at the minute. That's the market we are in

We should have played 4-5-1 or 3-5-2 formation with either Gallagher or BBD as the main striker

Leeds have been excellent so far. Really like their high pressing they do

We played far too deep yesterday whether it was midfield 2 or back line. We need to further up the pitch. Surprised he didn't play 3 in centre midfielder to match them whether It has 5-3-2 or 4-3-3 formation.

I haven't watched the hundred so far but there is only 50 over cricket at county cricket so Who is even in some sort of form. not many I bet.

Who posted the info that Reed's girlfriend didn't want to move here and that person was you JH. No one should be writing off any new signing so quickly, certain people have on here or other fan sites have with Szmodics. He needs to play in the role he was bought into to play cos of the style JDT wanted to play. He is pressing number 10. We should be playing like Leeds have in that first half were we are pressing the ball and winning it back high. We have been too deep and lack movement in the final third.

I think we need 4 signings before the end of the transfer window. We need a centre back, centre midfielder and forward at least. Then you have decide whether you second centre back or left back that some people want on here. We have maybe 6 million pounds to spend given from what a couple of people have said on here. We need quality players and no average signings are needed. Its whether the budget will stretch that far as people want. I don't see Morton as a kid as he is experience at PL and CL. Ash Phillips is 17 years old and we shouldn't expect massive things from right now but he should be part of the first team squad here. GB and JDT have always said this project and 2 or 3 years footballing strategy from day 1.

Looks like McCullum and Stokes are again backing Crawley and he will remain in the team for the next test. They both appears to not care what others outside the England set up care to be saying about the situation.

I couldn't say who we get. I could list a few players I would look at to bring in if it my decision if you want me to post them. I agree we want him on permanent deal if we can't do that then we need to move on. JDT said he knows about the player from his time in Holland really? another massive over reaction here. They have massive high hopes for Jake Garrett and Adam Wharton in the coming years so rightly don't want to block that pathway Give the new management team time and some patience please. Let the transfer window at least ends first Rovers will open new contract talks with a fixed fee release clause in it. I did say that Rovers would offer this sort of contract to BBD during a discussion with Roversfan99 Well we did have a head of European scouting in Glyn Chamberlain but Rovers didn't renewed his contract and he left here. It's appears that Greg Broughton and Gus Williams want that role back within the scouting network now. We still have our European Scout in Bruno Reis at the club(according to his LinkedIn profile) so we can still be looking into that market.

Not what we need is average players but quality players who will improve the team but also get a boost to the squad and its morale which look low after yesterday game.

Firstly Ricky I said I wanted 5 or 6 signings this summer. So your first point is wrong so please stop stirring the point and causing conflict on here. Secondly when you want quality players sometimes you have to wait. Can't over paid for them. Don't want rush signings or average players.

Got the result right not the scoreline tho

Hopefully we can bring in 2 signings in the coming days. One being a centre back for sure 1000% agreed there

Very open and honest assessment of the game from JDT.
