I've spoken to one of the cleaners and he says signing Gallagher on loan is a decision above his pay grade.

Why would anyone moan if we made the playoffs? What have hypothetical scenarios like that to do with the fact that we didn't strengthen the squad? Aren't you disappointed we didn't at least get cover for Graham? Why not, you're a Rovers supporter aren't you?

Well, its been done before----is that not evidence? Would we have got 27000 for the last game of last season without a price cut?

I disagree. We haven't got anything like adequate cover for Graham who will not play 90 mins every game and will sometimes need to miss a game. That's if we are serious about the play-offs of course.

Had his best scoring time with us. Still, I'd prefer Austin. Definitely need someone up there. Will be decidedly crapped off if we don't get anyone.

Wrong thread mate!!!!

"petty" sniping? In any case no-one blames Brereton, any criticism is aimed at the pillocks who signed him.

we've already got one?

We are committed to spending around £7M, its £7M that won't be available for anything or anyone else and that's the point.

Football clubs like us don't spend £7M on any player unless he is ready to walk into the team. Please don't pretend all is going to plan with Brereton!. Its a disaster. If he comes good in a two or three years (and its a big "if") it still wouldn't justify it. Spent wisely that sort of money could have taken us into the top 6. We still might get there but Brereton won't be part of it.

very vaguely, yes!

He absolutely hammered penalties. Maybe those huge thighs helped!

If a loanee helped take us up,I couldn't care less. Once up there, we're looking to sign players we couldn't attract now anyway. Austin would stand up to the physical stuff and score goals, after all he's done it before. It looks to me that Balaji has his tail up and wants to go for it!

It would also massively piss off our neighbours of the 6 fingered variety! Given that they booed Jones last night every time he touched the ball, their reaction in next year's derby would be worth the price of admission! (PS---that's if Burnley stay up of course!)

We will end up paying most of that £7M though whatever happens. Forest won't be that stupid. Someone's said we've "only" paid £3M so far! Anyone think that was worthwhile? Could have got a very decent defender for that but we only splurge on strikers-----and then put them on the wing!

You're not related to Adrian Mole's lad are you?!!!

Advice from Auditors-----collect as many mid-fielders as possible. Don't spend any money on defenders, including keepers---anyone can fill in there. Oh---and only buy British.

Sad to hear. Loved watching him. So many memories keep flooding back from what was a (brief) Golden Era in the history of the club.

Yes but you don't rate Graham do you?!!

Short-term deal though?

Venkys selling?

Perhaps you could find an MB that is worthy of you?

TM tells him to put it away, we need at least another 4 transfer windows!

Not as much.

He's getting those headers though, Rhodes didn't.
