Except we wont invest penny of it. Talksport (I know, I know) reckon the deal is dead and there wont be a second offer.

Biggest conundrum for Mowbray should be cb. Arguably Tosin has been a great success on loan and he makes us able to play the style Mowbray envisions and beat the press. When he's out the side, it's clear that the current crop aren't capable of playing out. Who can we afford to replace Tosin in summer that will be as effective? Such players are rare, generally very expensive and we don't have any coming through the academy. Without similar we would be faced with changing 'style' yet again.

Revisit targets in summer is the latest mantra in he telegraph. None of us saw that coming... When a club of our history, stature and apparent 'financial backing' can't afford the better players from league one, you know we're going nowhere in the transfer market.

Blueboy was the Lewis Travis of the board.

?

Don't think any one will ever top the photo of Salgado at Northcote on here. Was it Hughsey's grandad or something? ?

Pretty sure Formica was one.

This is where I dont get Rovers strategy. We've made more profit on defenders - Jones, Samba, Hanley, Duffy etc than any other Part of the team. Yet seemingly we refuse to spend on the defence.

Can we do the full the parrot sketch, for a thread finale tomorrow, when it has ceased to be?

So another 12 pages or so have passed since this morning and not a whiff of an incoming. Quelle surprise.

Predominantly frees and loans since they came with the odd 'punt' taken on future value. They even talked about loaning players when they arrived.

We wont be buying anyone. Sounds like we are scraping round for a couple of prem loans. We know that's the preferred venky model.

We look best when we press high early on. Down side to that is we are knackered after 60 mins. I love a good winger. Frustrates the life out of me not seeing one play there. Thought Samuel for QPR looked a real handful down both wings.

On a side note, the atmosphere was terrible.

I'll clarify Galagher so far. He's been piss poor! Played some really nice stuff this half. QPR look dangerous coming forward as well. Get your money on 3-3

Both about 8 years ago!

Even by recent years' standards, this thread is painful. Have we ever signed anyone in a window before the last 48 hours?

From the limited views I've had of our younger players, JRC and Butterworth look physically capable of stepping up straight away. Buckley's frame shouldn't be an issue long term, as many 'slight' technical players excel - like Coutinho. However, I do feel he'd benefit massively from 6 months playing regularly in league one. Get used to the physicality and learn how to win free kicks instead of being eased off the ball by a stronger player. He's clearly got the technical side, needs to learn the dark arts...

If professional opinions were so accurate, we'd never make a bad signing...I'll go with what I see with my own eyes.

No way are we signing this Polish lad. A - He's European B - We don't have 3 million quid C - TM has never really bothered with wingers that play in their natural position. D - There's no way this lad tracks back. E - He's European

On a par with Raya but different strengths. Raya could obviously improve down the line!

Let's put it this way, we've had a lot worse over the last few years! Think he'd be solid. No more, no less.

Watched The lad in a Sunderland game last season. Confidently claimed alot of high balls. Something we've not had for a long time.

Hats off today. Great result. We really do blow hot and cold.

Now that's better Gallagher?
