Hierro takes charge of Spain

Otzumer signed for Bolton. Greg Cunningham from Preston close to joining Cardiff 3.5 million

Only if the loan players brought in are of sufficient quality to make an impact with the first team. I don't want to see raw youngsters like Harper being brought in who sit on our bench and only get 5 or 10 minutes of action every now and again. From the outside looking in it appears that Mowbray doesn't have much faith in our own crop coming through.The likes of Tomlinson has been in and around the first team squad for a couple of seasons now and if Mowbray doesn't believe him or others are good enough then they should be loaned out or sold

It looks a bit off but Wolves have done good buisness, they had him on loan with fee of 10 million agreed, probably knew of other clubs interest and nod Stoke have an obligation to make the move permanent in January for 12 million. He played his part in them getting promoted and they have made a 2 million profit. Brought in the Mexican striker Jiminez on loan with a view to buy for 30 million.He is highly rated and they get to see how he settles in English football before paying out a big transfer fee

Most the players are still on holiday too.I expect Armstrong to be one of his top targets, he has been away with England at the Toulon tournament and will probably be off on his holidays now. With the world cup being on,the premier league teams will be reluctant to let players leave at the moment as they will be needed in pre season whilst the international player's are away. Very early to panicking over the lack of incomings. Id rather Mowbray waited and got the players he truly wants rather than rush out and make signings just to please the fans

Are you saying Bruce didn't have a huge budget?The owner authorised the signings but surely it was Bruce who chose the players.

Sky transfer centre crediting ourselves,Rotherham and Derby with an interest in Holmes from Scunthorpe

Quick look at his stats as never heard of him and he hasn't played a senior game for Bristol city.Played 38 times on loan at Cheltenham last season though

Yeah I listened.Interesting that Sharpe reckons Mowbray will be looking to bring in 2 central midfielders.Not a big fan of Evans,he has talent but has just never done enough in a Rovers shirt for me so hopefully at least one of the midfielders will be coming in as a starter.Be interesting to see if Smallwood can show his pre Christmas form in the Championship for us

Good listen.Nothing that revealing though.Nixon mentions a passing interest in Sam Gallagher, interested in Davenport from city,Would like Armstrong on a perm or loan.Interest in Ryan Kent if we can't bring Chapman back. Sharpe reckons we want two central midfielders.

Bayes, Rich Sharpe, Mark Atkins and Alan Nixon talk Rovers https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0682wj4

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0682wj4 Nixon,Rich Sharpe and Bayes talking Rovers. Haven't listened myself yet

Lenihan has only 12 months left on his deal so that is just as pressing. Dack definitely deserves improved terms but he is still under contract for another 2 with an option of a third in the club's favour.

Delighted with the Graham news,would have been a bad start to our buisness if he had moved on.Him and Dack look to enjoy playing with eachother. Hoping we can get Armstrong in next preferably a perm if he isn't overpriced, would be happy with another loan deal though

Yeah hopefully not another Rekeem Harper If Mowbray doesn't think the likes of Tomlinson and Hardcastle are not up to it they should be sent out on loan or sold.I don't see any benefit for them or us playing another year of u23 football

Yeah i seen that.Option or no option I hope we get Graham tied down soon

According to Rich Sharpe(telegraph reporter)there is no option on Graham's contract it became void when we got relegated to league one.Although maybe he doesn't know as he initially wrote in telegraph that rovers had decided to renegotiate as they didn't want to pay as much.

Agreed.He has always had potential and has come on a lot in the last season and a half. Some posters just won't acknowledge that though and prefer to go back to when he first came into the team and was raw and made a few mistakes. It's like they expected him to be Cafu from the off.He has everything needed to be a quality full back.He needs to work on his decision making in the final third but I honestly do think he will be a premier league player one day

Nixon saying we have an interest in Ryan Kent but Rangers favourites to get him

Anytime I've watched the guy he hasn't impressed.Maybe he has come on but I hope we are targeting better

I apologise if I hurt your feelings but I wouldn't really call that an insult I'm sure you wouldnt want me as manager either. Davenport seems highly rated and by all accounts did well at Burton so should be the sort targeted not players like Bridcutt or that big lump of a striker Moore who can't score, Danny Graham has more talent in his little toe than that guy.

What Insult?You where quick to shout down the poster who suggested Ki as a potential signing. Last week you where giving Arbito grief as he wouldn't reveal his source on Pilkington not being at Ewood or signing,yet when someone asked the lads itk over the Danny Graham Bolton link you where quick to shout them down and tell them how dare they ask about their sources. It's like you think it should be one rule for you and another for others. My post was nothing personal I don't know you but I question if you know anything about football with some of the suggestions you make on incoming players

If you wouldn't sign a 29 year old then why you keen on Bridcutt who is that age?If we are to bring in a midfielder then we need someone who can pass the ball and start moves off.We already have Evans and Smallwood who can do the water carrying we don't need another.God I'm bloody glad you ain't manager

I have read Mowbray's comments he didn't say he would not be signing any experienced players. I don't want Bridcutt but he wouldn't be that expensive Forest want him out the door so no idea why you would want him every club he goes too they end up wanting rid

You wanted us to sign Liam Bridcutt he is 29?
