It's either a loan to the championship or no first team football at least until January. I think he will join a championship club but think other teams are likely to offer more.The two Welsh sides in for him and so are Derby who he played for previously

Well he did say 2 or 3 today, there is always tomorrow for the fourth

If we are bringing in 2 or 3 now then it would be logical to think the cash injection has something to do with it

Yeah he has said many times we are close to a few only for nothing to happen. At least this time we will find out by 5pm tomorrow

Are you not amazed that Mowbray hasn't had to sell any of our big hitters like you predicted for the countless window in a row. Window to date has been ok,left back will take it to being a very good window.

Douglas from Leeds is close according to multiple reports.That will be left back sorted. Sign Pears or not it will be a good window IF Douglas signs as expected.

I'd move Evans on if any interest.Sick of him always being fit for international duty but hardly ever for us.

Probably didnt see we signed a goalkeeper the other week Would be ridiculous if this is true

He has had injurys whilst here and was playing further forward.He seems to have found a place that suits him playing deeper now and although only for a short period he has looked a class above in the games so far. I agree that Bannan is a top class midfielder in the championship, but comparing Bannans and Holtby careers like chalk n cheese, Holtby has spent the majority of his career at top division clubs whilst Bannan has spent it in the championship.

Bannan is a very good midfielder for this level and although he has only started doing the business for us for a short period id argue Holtby is a more talented player than Bannan. Played at a higher level for much longer period.

It's not happening,Premier league have released a statement 'PL clubs reject Project Big Picture, L1 & L2 bailout agreed' https://www.skysports.com/share/12103872

Why is he still a freebie though.He is probably looking for a similar contract as he had with us last year,hence him still being available. Did very well for us last year and has a touch of class but where would he play if we resigned him.Don't see where he fits in if we continue with the high press.

Who said that though?I seen a few say IF we sign Douglas we would all surely be happy with our window.It will be a good window IF we sign Douglas or another left back of similar ability.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18794102.rovers-progressing-deal-leeds-united-full-back/ I see a bit of speculation that Boro are after Danny Rose, thought they were meant to be cutting back on spending, I doubt Levy would allow him leave without a big proportion of his wage being paid

This year's first choice back five will be Kaminski,Nyambe/Rankin Costello, Lenihen, Ayala,New left back as we will sign someone before deadline so it isn't the same back four as 4 years ago is it?Both Lenihen and Nyambe are better players now

That isn't what sparks rover said ,he said we have the same defence as four years ago.I didn't realise Kaminski and Ayala had been playing for us 4 year ago, and Lenihen had not long started playing centre half at that point.

Are you messing about on a wind up or do you just not have a clue? Some of the stuff you come out with. Mols better than Buckley?If Mols is up to it why has he gone on loan to the Spanish 4th division,I'm sure if he is as good as you say then he would have been scouted by other EFL teams and signed. Dack an awful signing and crap player when we bought him according to you. Now you are calling Ayala a carthorse despite him being one of the best defenders at this level in years gone by and only 29 years old. The same defence as four years ago.As has been pointed out both Lenihen and Nyambe are better players now,Ayala a top defender at this level and if we sign Douglas he has two promotions to the Prem in last 3 years. Talking nonsense, you must be on a wind up

Nixon reckons Swansea favourite to sign him. Be a good signing for them but speculation that Ayew could be on the move to the premier league he would be a loss

Douglas would be a very good signing my only concern is his injury record.Two promotions in the last 3 seasons his experience could prove invaluable if we are in the mix for promotion come season end

So you are saying Brentford paid us 3 million up front for Raya?,They didn't like we didn't pay it all up front for Gallagher. The manager dropped Raya, criticized him through the media,Raya asked to leave all things you conveniently ignore to suit your argument. Do you know that Gallagher doesn't have clauses in his contract that will up his fee like Raya?You don't know. You have said often we don't spend money,if I could be assed id go back and find them. Raya transfer fee didn't cover half of what we spent last summer. Beginning of summer you almost guaranteed us all that we wouldn't pay a fee for a goalkeeper, now we have you claim it was Raya's fee that paid for it.You are just changing things around to suit your argument.

Yeah and a transfer embargo is nearly as bad as a points deduction,last time we had one it was a nightmare and played a very significant part in us getting relegated a couple of years later

Did Gallagher not come in for 5 million so tell me how Raya covers Gallagher and Kaminski? To you and me Raya might have been a prized asset but he wasn't to the manager. You also think Bradley Johnson and Lewis Holtby came here without significant signing on fee's?Most certainly in the case of Holtby who had a big money offer from China.Did Tosin cost us nothing too? What about the spending the summer before?

Yeah so why do you keep banging the drum that we haven't spent any money when in the last 3 years we clearly have? Like I said one player has been sold in the last 3 years in Raya for a massive 3 million.The clubs who have spent have either had parachute payments or have sold their better players to fund incoming transfers. You mentioned Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County,they both finished below us last season and I'd put money on us finishing ahead of them this season too and neither of them have been promoted despite big spending. I'd be disappointed if we don't bring another couple in before deadline but I'm a realist and recognise it will most likely be loans as despite what you say no fans being allowed back in will impact on every club in the EFL

We have spent in the last 3 years though.You don't seem to acknowledge that.The big spenders in this division have sold star players to spend money.We haven't sold anyone. Yeah we have lost a few from last season and the wage bill has been reduced for now but we have a few valuable assets that are coming into the last year or two of their contracts who will all want improved terms to renew. I'm not defending Venkys here but I much prefer the way the club is being run now compared to s few years ago when we were handing out ridiculous contracts,Murphy, Etuhu,Best etc etc that led to a transfer embargo and put the club back years .
