Very simple decision same starting 11 as Swansea. Very easy decision

Nicko linked with him earlier this week but Burnley were signing him. I hope its centre back on perm deal.

3 nil Rovers win. Vale to score

Well we chased both from reports. I'm sure we had Van Hecke on our shortlist from the start of the summer

What rumours are these? How do you know this? Don't know if how he fits into the starting given they play 3-4-1-2. Would be the ideal pressing forward I'm sure we caused them enough problems.

Agreed. Says he part of his plans there but appears to be 5th choice there. Plus less 12 months left on his contract so a deal could still by done by Rovers if we offer the right terms there. Also I wonder if Van Hecke isn't available to sign whether we might move for centre back Matt Clarke from Brighton or Brentford centre back Charlie Goode. The contract offer is still there from Rovers and now down to what he wants to do.

no, i take each story on merit and see what happens, I don't dismiss out of hands like many people on here cos the story has come from someone or something whether a club inquiry for a player, make a bid or scouted him. I think I have made my point more than clear to you. If you disagree fine by me See my point above to Bruce.

Why isn't it reliable source? The story was we made an inquiry for him. Not every link means we will sign them but we had an interest. Maybe it was between him and Szmodics, we had 3 bids rejected for him so we inquiry for Bowler but price too much so went back for Szmodics. No one is being naive at all but not everyone agree with your point of view, maybe you should accept that. That's your opinion its his best interest to not commit here but other people like myself have a very different opinion to yours were maybe he wants to play for JDT and get Rovers to the PL and be key player in our promotion push then be a squad player at mid table PL club. He seems to be really enjoying his football here under JDT

Firstly the Bowler link comes from Lancs Live Elliott Jackson who reported it a couple of weeks ago and then last week on Rovers chat explained the story. I'm sure you watch the interview since you posted a rovers chat video last week from them on here. Who knows what going to happen if the next 3 and half weeks of transfer window, but we have been assured that we will be stronger squad then when the summer started by our head coach JDT. maybe he is happy here and sees the club moving forward under JDT and can see us getting to PL where he would be key player for Rovers in achieving promotion and maybe he doesn't want to risk being a free agent and not getting a good enough club where he would improve and be key player for that team, Like Nyambe has done

yet again with the pointless and unnecessary digs for a layer suggestion I did last season Also just for the record roversfan99 I never predicted finish for 24th so you are wrong again! Bellamy must be suggesting him to Burnley he was coach at coach when he was coming through at Cardiff

Butterworth won't play

Watford looks decent last week but I think tonight game with tight game with either team winning 1 nil.

I think we will sign 3 more players including a centre back permanent. I'm still holding the hope he will sign a new contract here and I think he would improve so much under JDT and would be playing PL football with us under JDT leadership here

I think you are spot on there. They got goalscorers outside of Kane and Son now. They won 4-1 at the weekend without Kane and Son scoring

Maybe he was first choice before the other 2 but Brighton said they won't sell him until a replacement comes in or not for sale yet. Why do you doubt that we want Ahmedhodzic and Davies?

I misunderstood your point my apologies.

Who says we aren't going up this season?

When have any of those players you mention ever be underappreciated by fans?

Only 29 years old and someone that fits the centre of back 3 that Everton play under Lampard Why wouldnt we be interest in Van Hecke? Solid defender and ball playing centre back which would JDT style. Given he watched alot of last season games he would have seen how good he was for us.

Haaland's movement is very good and its just starting to click between him and other Man City players. Before the Community shield I had seen very little of him at Dortmund but his goal scoring record is very impressive for sure

good signing that for Everton and will suit the back 3 they play there.

Football is a business at the end of the day. Time you accept this. You can disagree on whether club owners should be setting philosophy or style of play but more and more clubs are employing sporting director and he will set out how the football side the club will be run with a plan for short term, medium term and long term. We moved to this Director of Football and head coach structure and so far so good. Jon Dahl Tomasson fitted the type of head coach we wanted and he was appointed

Its their choice since they owned the club. First Its was Cooper who wanted to go for several different reasons not just about player style, but disagreements on signings, lack of funding for signings he wanted in January. Well each fan will have their own decision whether they like their club playing style or not. Each to the own and something I won't condemn fans for. Most clubs have a certain criteria or philosophy that they will follow and choose the right head coach or manager who will best fit the club project. We did this when we appoint Jan Dahl Tomasson.
