I imagine it's not a cheap option. Listen, I get the we could never afford him business...but at the end of the day, he isn't ours and he won't be here next year. Personally, I'd rather we tried to buy some quality permanently. Call me old fashioned!

...and also achieved a little more than Kasey Palmer has to date. Permanent signings are ours to develop - for good or for ill - traditionally more likely to give a s%%% when the going gets tough. Don't get me wrong - the lad could be a great signing for us. Lets hope he has a fantastic season. Then we can reminisce next season about how good he was compared to the next loanee ??

I'm sure I don't need to point out the bleedin' obvious Bob. It would be nice to see a permanent signing of this caliber.

Except he's not 'our' player.

Sensible signings though that we'd be happy with. Expect that they will be around the top 4.

One every day this week will suffice.

Nope

Season long loan!

That it lol

To be fair most signings have tended to be announced nearer to 5pm. Wish they'd hurry up though. On hols and don't want to take my phone to the pool. Be dark at this rate!!

Ha you can't catch me out. You gave him as a permanent signing!

Think that's been there a while tbh.

For both Neo?

Has to be one of Chapman or Armstrong or they've got the wrong end of the stick with the agent Benno thing! Armstrong back on loan with an agreed purchase fee would be my guess - plus the Chelsea lad.

Young lad who clearly has talent. Type who can get round the back of teams. Seemed to integrate well with the rest of the players. Only going to improve but doubt over an injury and so was likely within our budget. Who else do we have on our bench who can change a game? Gone on to have a good pre season and looks on verge of Boro bench at least. Missed the boat IMO.

Then he can't have much of an eye for attacking players.

Yes, I'd say so. No winger in there. Now if you added Chapman or Armstrong to that list as a permanent then that would be as good as I could have imagined

I get what you're saying and squad fillers are just that however, take Dack out of the permanent signings and overall, they aren't great. Loan signings on the other hand have on the whole been very successful. Devils advocate for a second. If Mowbray does have a reasonable transfer/wage pot, perhaps he is being spoiled for choice and is bottling a decision...so opting for loans instead?

Ok, Clutching at straws time now... Rovers have tweeted: It’s set to be a busy week in the #Rovers media department, so we’ve recruited a familiar face to lend a helping hand. Let’s get to work, #AgentBenno! Bennett has been using his AgentBenno tag when asked to get Chapman and Armstrong back on twitter. So they must be signing this week...right? Followed by the next tweet pushing Season Tickets!

The only logical conclusion is that the money isn't there to bring in good enough players.

Not sure you can add Leutwiler, Samuel, Nuttall and Bell to that list. Jury is out on those - Samuel poor overall. The other 3 haven't really featured enough. Over time they may be a success but not presently. Look at it this way. 80 % of his loans were successful...probably because they were a better quality of player than we had. The standard of player we should be adding permanently upon promotion.

Its not rebuilding though. The attacking end of the pitch has been neglected since Gestede, Rhodes and King left. Our only decent striker is a 32 year old who struggles to play a full 90 and has been known to let his fitness drop. We need permanent players up top.. Why the helll would we not loan a squad filling CB?

He'd be ahead of a centre back!

He's said all along about an A and b list etc and talked as if he is still hopeful of his A list.. But the players in so far - and linked -go against all the rhetoric about wide players, strikers and older players with champ experience. Trust Tony as genuinely wanting the best for the club - yes. Trust Tony not to screw up this transfer window - jury well and truly out. *If Chapman was available cheap, then passing that up is just bizzarre IMO.

Having watched the likes of Mckenzie, Archibald, Shearer, Bellamy, Sutton, Tugay, Ripley, Moran, Cole, Jansen, Santa Cruz, Benni Mac etc over my life time... ...I'm not sure a couple of lads from City constitute signing quality! But hey ho. Just highlights where we are!
