I would imagine there would also be a better quality of player available for loan after the window closes .. I mean look at someone like Danny Ings , if he doesn't get a move today He could well be loaned into the championship

To bring 3-4 players in on one day is a big ask especially when we're all expecting to see some outgoings , my guess there will be 1 maybe 2 maximum today possibly Bauer , possibly a cheap goalkeeper with another couple of loans later in the month like Chapman and a striker . The Wildcard is obviously the midfielder the 4m bid for Freeman suggests the funds are there for a Big one , Mowbray's cute enough to a) not to overpay and b) not to spend for spendings sake

Not saying we will , but don't be too surprised to see a number of teams try and copy England's 3-5-1-1 formation this season

Wtf .... ???i was just getting excited about Chapman then this Freeman link ... Have I gone back in time 7-8 years ... Jordan Rhodes apart who was the last player we spent 4m on ???

I see Boro have signed Hugill

Yes , but if we could get him on loan and use him primarily to come on for those last 20-25 minutes that Mowbray uses to give Danny Graham a rest to build up his fitness I don't see a problem

Rudy Gestede anyone ? .. Saw a report linking Boro with Kodija from Villa , having seen both him and Sam Gallagher in Rovers shirt , iknow which one I would rather have .

Gentlemen PLEASE Remember this is a football forum , not Vogue magazine ...... That' said ??. Can't see her being too impressed with a night out in Accy and a Doner kebab though ? Which is all I could offer her Not Rovers related but I see Chelsea are about to break the world record for a goalkeeper I've never heard of ...Football at the top really has gone mad hasn't it

Think the Bauer thing will happen , either now or January for half of what We are willing to pay now now , McGinn sounds like we are being used to get Celtic moving , I am not a fan of Gallagher to be honest and Hughes' quotes about his young players staying there does cast doubt over that deal too . With 2 days to go I can see us frantically trying to get the next players on the list

Toner Hemed .. Only 31 , for some reason I though he was older wouldn't say as a massive improvement on Graham , but they are cut from the same cloth and would lighten the workload for Danny . It was noticeable last year that Mowbray looked after Graham in the sense that he regularly subbed him about the 60-70 minute mark, Hemed would be someone just as good to come on , and he has scored goals in chamipionship , and I can't see him getting much game time at Brighton and would be relatively cheap( as long as wages aren't ridiculous)

Great news if true , i honestly believe that he WILL score goals and his value will soar

To sum up the last 2 pages Nugent , no thanks doesn't fit the criteria set by Mowbray Clough , Meh ... I wouldn't want to be a full back in a team A team with Dack Palmer and Clough in it , can't see much tracking back Maddison vs Armstrong ... Armstrong all day long but just to add another name , somebody else on here mentioned a lad at city called Brandon or Brendan Barker was it ? Was on loan at Hibs last season he looked pretty decent

Ha Ha ... I don't know ... but i do find myself watching other clubs buy players and then wonder who they might have available , Palace making moves to sign German forward Max Meyer and Jordan Ayew

Would you believe me if I told you it was Connor Wickam

Think it's because the deadline for permanent signings is fast approaching , and if Chapman and Armstrong were signing permanently they would have done so already

Horses for courses I dare say , some games we will need an greater attacking threat , and having wingers who get behind teams and stretch defences will be essential others we will have to play with more responsibility maybe even 4 narrow across midfield and Dack or Palmer dropping in behind a loan striker

Not sure we're good enough to play with natural wingers , I don't think we can play the way we played last year in this division , there were times last year when we almost played with 4 attacking players , if we do that this year we will get mullered

Maybe this has come about because Pulis wants to give Chapman a chance at Boro

Reading everyone's views on Ashley Fletcher and he sound like another Josh King .... We don't want another one of them do we ??

Without wishing to open up old wounds , we are capable of getting 20k plus gates also , only we have fans who no longer wish to come to games

If Adam Armstrong scores 10-15 goals next seasons in championship , the guys transfer value will rocket so the £3m , although quite high for us now will be a sound investment ... If only Venkys knew that

Was just about to write something similar .. When joe average players are costing that amount of money it makes me want to do something else on a Saturday

It may well be that Maddison and Armstrong are the 2 that TM really wants , however at the moment both fees outstretch the budget , so it's a game of brinkmanship and negotiation and if we can't get our own way we will only end up with one

Really disappointed I think it look so awsul , I am not averse to a light blue but that black 10on the front is all wrong , just looks like players have the shirts on back to front , I won't be buying it
