The guy on twitter is a fake. He/she is picking up rumours from different online sources and then turning them into 'fact' and hoping a few of them come off to make him/her look genuine. Joe Hart to Rovers may happen, but it has been rumoured for a while now.

Big blow to Sheffield W to lose Bruce, he’s a very good manager at this level. That’s another one of our rivals thrown into chaos.

Reading between the lines, Raya was clearly told we were going to bring in another GK and he was unlikely to be an automatic first choice. He therefore pushed for a move to a club where he would be first choice. TM doesn't rate Raya and that has been clear from some of the comments he made about him last season and dropping him for the final few games of the season. On other transfer rumours, I wouldn't want to sign Butterfield and I don't think we will. However, I do think we'll end up signing Charlie Adam as he does have that bit of quality that is hard to come by and therefore he is probably worth taking a risk on. He's never had any pace so I think it's more about whether he still has the motivation to work hard and stay fit. My hunch is that it will be a busy week. The Gallagher situation will likely move forward now that Wigan have made a bid, I'm pretty sure he'll come here if we match their offer. I also suspect we'll know the identity of Raya's replacement towards the end of the week.

If it turns out to be Darlow in for Raya, which looks like it may well be, then that is very good business. I'd expect Gallagher to come in next week too. We're certainly adding championship experience to our ranks.

That's the way to do transfer business. Keep it quiet until the day before he's officially unveiled. Great signing! Proven, experienced championship midfielder. Sad to see Raya on the verge of leaving as I think he will be a good GK in the future. However, I will reserve judgement on the decision to sell him until we see who had been lined up to replace him. If it's Joe Hart then we'll have done some good business there.

Way too early to say, but I'd say the teams coming down from the premier league are not that great (Fulham may do ok but they have a rookie manager) and several teams around us seem to be imploding (e.g. Birmingham, Swansea, Nottingham Forest). Brentford seem likely to lose a large proportion of their best players, as do Leeds. Just for the reasons above, I think we're currently looking at an improved finish on last season. Also, we have Samuel, Davenport, and Chapman who will feel like new signings as they barely played last season; and I'd fully expect Breo to be much improved on last season, and Rothwell to start where he finished off last season. Add that to some of the youth players that look ready to make an impact on the first team, particularly Butterworth, and we are probably a little stronger that this time last year. However, as it stands, we'll concede way too many goals to challenge for a top 6 place so our hopes will largely depend on who we can sign at the back.

I would be happy with the Gallagher signing. He’s still young and did well in his loan season here despite being part of the worst Rovers set up in decades. I’d guess we’d be laying around £5m for him and apparently he’s willing to take a drop in wages to come here. Raya looks like he’s on his way out of the club. I don’t think TM rates him and that was evident from dropping him from the team for the final few games of the season. I’ll be a little disappointed to see him go as I think he could become a good GK, but equally I will not be overly bothered as I think we can get a more finished article to replace him.

I would be very disappointed if we had signed those five players that Stoke have just signed; they are mid table championship players. I think they've gone down the hard working, championship players route but they aren't going to get them near the top 6. However, our lack of transfer activity, and the lack of activity generally, doesn't give us much to benchmark against.

I’m not too fussed about missing out on Bauer. I think we need to be aiming for better players than that if we have ambitions for the top 6. Is he any better than Downing who we let go? Downing is probably one of the best defenders in league 1 and he wasn’t good enough to get in our team. I think Bauer would fall into that same category but want significantly higher wages than Downing. Players like Grant Hanley are the type that we should be looking at signing. Proven players at this level. All very quiet from us and the championship in general. I think quite a few clubs are on the verge of falling foul of FFP if they spend big this window hence the lack of action so far.

Dack is a top player, that’s for sure. Has he got the hunger and desire to be a top, top player? I’m not convinced he has. I’m not convinced he’s the type to put in extra hours when he doesn’t have to. We see the likes of Travis on Insta putting in the work for next season already, whereas I suspect Dack is more interested in living the party lifestyle over the summer with his ‘celebrity’ girlfriend. He’s perfectly entitled to do that but perhaps it gives a bit of an insight into the different priorities of players.

TM wants some more technically gifted players and more experienced pros to complement the youngsters, so I imagine that's the reason he's keen on Downing. Would he be someone that would start week in, week out? No. Could he be someone that we could bring on as a sub and produce a little bit of quality to open teams up? Quite possibly. If he's our main summer signing then it would be disappointing. If, however, he's brought in to strengthen the squad then he's a decent addition (if he signs).

If it is indeed the same budget as last year, that’s a decent amount to play with. As I said yesterday, I suspect TM will sell one of our assets (e.g Raya) so the total transfer spend may end up being closer to 10-15m.

I strongly suspect the players we end up signing will be players that haven't been linked yet, and we probably won't know a huge amount about the players that we do sign as I think we may try the European market. I'm not sure we would have predicted many of the players that TM signed last summer, perhaps only Armstrong and Rothwell would have been predicted. I would also suspect that the budget will be about the same as last year, either room for one big money signing and several smaller purchases or no big money signing and several decent sized signings instead. I think he may sell one of our assets to add to his transfer pot, possibly Raya or Nyambe.

TM has said it will be a contract until Jan. The wages I have no idea on, but I can’t imagine it will be a huge amount.

I applaud the club's decision to give Gladwin some security over the next six months to get his life and career back on track. He's had an horrendous two years and that must take it's toll mentally and physically. I don't think for one second this is about giving him a chance to get into our team, it's about doing right by the player. He's unlikely to play again until 2020 so that would be many months without any income for a player who I doubt has earnt that much during his career so far. Give him a chance to get fit and play some U23 games on a very low wage and hopefully he can get himself noticed by another club. If we don't do that then his football career is potentially over. I think it would be different if it was a player like Rodwell who has millions in the bank, but this is a player who has predominantly played in the lower leagues all his career.

Back to Scotland would be my guess. Is he going to want to sit on the bench for what will probably be his final couple of years playing football? He’s not getting back into this side, particularly with defensive reinforcements coming in during the summer. A subsidised loan will be the most likely outcome.

Could be the final appearance for a few out there today - Conway, Mulgrew, Smallwood, Rodwell. Dack?

Don’t see Joe Hart coming here for various reasons. Carson is more likely but I doubt either will end up here. The story is probably true in the sense we will enquire about both players. But that’s as far as it will go imo.

I think we’ll almost certainly see some players from Europe coming in over the summer. TM has made big noises about expanding the budget to allow them to watch European games so he has to show there is some pay off from that expenditure. It’s a good idea to be looking to Europe as we can’t afford the top end players in this league so we need to find them in Europe. Pleased to hear him slate our defensive displays this season. It has been woeful and it’s refreshing to hear him pull no punches on that. I would expect one for every position back there. Big season next season. My feeling is we’re going to go for it in the transfer window and then sell off the big players if we don’t make it.

He was good tonight. He made some intelligent runs into the spaces left by their fullbacks which, in turn, stretched their defence and left gaps to exploit. His hold up play needs a lot of work, though.

Maybe two years as that would give him two full seasons. A lot of it is about attitude and desire with Rodwell so I think you need to keep him on his toes by giving him a short-ish deal. It’s well known he’s worth a lot of money so he doesn’t need to play football anymore, so it’s about keeping his interest alive.

It’s interesting reading about ppls different interpretation of the game. I thought Buckley was very good when he came on but seems quite a few fans felt he was a little off the pace.

I think Rodwell has done enough to deserve an 18 month contract.

Very impressive cameos from Buckley and Butterworth - they both look like they’re going to be top players. Buckley looks very good technically and his first thought is to look forward and find a pass, rather than playing a safe backwards or sideways pass. Butterworth looks like he can pick the ball up and take players on. He will be an edge of your seat kind of player. I’m sure there are ppl on here who follow the U23s far more closely than I do, but they look ready to e regulars in the first team set-up. I would be very fearful if I was Smallwood, Rodwell, and Evans. Smallwood will almost certainly be sold in the summer, he can’t even make the squad anymore. With the likes of Dack, Rothwell, Brereton, Armstrong, Chapman, Graham, and Butterworth we have some real talent in those forward positions. Very exciting to watch and it doesn’t feel as though we’re just reliant on Dack now to create some magic, we have danger all over those forward positions. It was a training session today really. Although they gave us stick when we went down, I feel for Bolton. They are a million miles from being even a half decent team and things will probably only get worse despite their new owner.

We have a good player on our hands here. It’s a mystery why he hasn’t been played more. He’s better than Armstrong.
