great post Speeeeeeedie

which Championship clubs are signing players to pre contract for next season? when is next season even starting? do we have a start date? Financial position of the club? when has the club been struggling? The owners have the money to fund the club as they have been doing for years and investing in our academy and seeing players coming through that system into the 1st team

Most clubs wont know their budgets for next season. Is the EFL bringing in wage cap for all clubs or relaxing the FFP rules or what the owners positions is currently which you overlooked every time. The club has exercise the club option in Bell's contract. Has his wages gone up cos of this contract extension? I would say no. You complained that you don't want Bennett at left back so surely its a good idea to extend his contract then? You cant have it both ways. I haven't been echo chamber at all roversfan99 but if I am then you cant have any argument in yourself being an echo chamber after every player links you dismissed it every time and then wrong the info when all the report has said we have an interest in the player according to their source not that we are deffo signing them. Dreams is right when he says you are hyper critical of every player. You rate Adarabioyo or Downing? Cos last summer you said it was waste signing Downing as he was too old and his stats was awful. You wrote Adarabioyo off based on his game time at WBA last summer and the role he played there which was out of position. Bell has played 77 times for Rovers scoring 3 goals and 2 assists just to answered you point about him not assisted in goals. Just to compare to other players who have the full back positions, Williams during his time here has 5 goals and 12 assists, Nyambe has 3 assists during time here in the 1st team, and Bennett has 19 assists and 9 goals in his time here even tho he hasn't always played at Full Back. on your points about Mowbray doesnt even his budget, so which manager in the Championship knows his budget for next season? Can you name any?

Thanks for sharing that Joe. Very damning on the McLaughlin link. And his agent.

But that's doesn't stop you drawing up targets list for positions we need new signings in whichever league and whatever our budget is. Read the story Stuart then you wouldnt have asked that question!

What I saying on here this week that Mowbray and Rovers recruitment team will be drawing up different transfer targets for different scenarios/budgets @roversfan99

We signed him 3 years ago. And barely played for us. Got to go after the season

I rather have Bennett at left back with Downing in centre midfield. I am not moving our best player from his best and his more effective role for our team to left back.

I dont want to move our best player in deep playmaker role to left back as you suggest you would. Hope you understand the reasons why. It's far from ideal Bennett at left back but its 4th choice so its needs must. Dont think Holtby is in the same class as Downing in terms of playing that deeper playmaker role. Why would you play Armstrong in wide role unless Graham is on the pitch? Armstrong is our best striker and he scores goals. Play him up front. Why change from the 4-3-3 that's worked so well last week. If you want Rothwell to replace Gallagher then Rothwell surely has to play the right side?

The article says assessing the player not that we are signing him. Rovers recruitment team will be looking and scouting players. All because you are scouting players or link to player doesn't mean you will sign every player.

Why move Downing from his centre midfielder role where he is the best at the club in control our play and tempo? Also you are playing Rothwell as false 9 then?

Rovers are assessing Morgan Fox as a possible signing. Source is the Lancs Live website

My team base on what was said at Mowbray's press conference today. Walton Nyambe Lenihan Adarabioyo Rankin-Costello Travis Downing Evans Gallagher Armstrong Brereton If Rankin Costello cant play then Bennett plays left back

Do we not need Downing's ability on the ball in centre midfield?

Bell and Williams not fit. Rankin Costello is touch and go.

Well why didnt look into the Bell's contract before posting? I posted a link last week saying that the club exercise the club option in Bell's contract from a Rich Sharpe article. You dont need to defence me. I have no paranoia at all. Pick what holes you want. Wont bother me. Its obvious that you shouldn't be making signings if you dont know what division we will be in next season. Nothing wrong with Rovers having different lists for those different scenarios.

Well this says Rovers had a option to extend Bell's contract https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18226457.rovers-option-extend-defenders-contract/

Wrong. I said Rovers should wait and see which league we are in 1st next season before committing to any signings. Very different to have no interest in transfers isn't it Jack and roversfan99

Well if you did your research you would that already. But you didnt. Where did I say I had no interest in transfers before the end of the season?

You mention my repeated questions to Nixon? So what questions considering I've asked 3 questions in the last 14 days?

Not flaw at all as he is already at the club, and no guarantee he would have sign an extension. What questions to Nixon? I've asked 3 questions in the last 14 days to him.

Bell had a club option so Rovers took it. The championship playoffs is wide open, anyone of twelve teams could be in the playoffs including WBA and Leeds who are guaranteed the top 2 spots just yet. This weekend of Championship will be very exciting and interesting to watch In my opinion. I would expect Mowbray and his recruitment team would have plan for both scenarios. Most championships clubs are waiting and seeing. So all those clubs you are accusing them of poor planning even those they will have targets to sign but will wait and see what league they are in, Whether FFP rules are relax, Is a salary cap coming in and owners funding.

its one player, most championship clubs wont be signing players before end of the season for vary reasons like whether the EFL relax the FFP rules or Wage cap budget. The EFL need to rule on this. I read I the athletic that Hull will restrict their new signings wages to 4k a week unless he is marquee signing and they pay him 6k a week. Yes 6 signings. Hopefully this scouting the foreign markets produces some signings. We might to sell one or 2 players to satisfied FFP rules if they aren't relaxed as UEFA have done for their competitions.

I don't want squad players if we get promote but players who will make a difference. But spending sensible and not spending the type of money Villa and Fulham did Why wont be get the free transfers we might want if we wait until the end of the season? We have re-sign Bell for next season by extending his contract. So we only need 1 new left back, 2 centre backs, 2 keepers and 1 wide player this season. This could change depending if we lost any of our 5 key players this summer. Plus re sign Downing.
