"Everyone on here wants Rovers to have the strongest possible squad in order to compete as much as we can, to suggest otherwise is just a bit mischievous IMO." Nice quote from KHod earlier in this thread. Suggest you read and digest.

no.I don't like us losing. Pathetic question.

If a player has international credentials and has the potential to be worth 10 times as much in a few years time I'd expect loads of clubs to be interested. But they're not. Not really. If he has as much potential as TM obviously thinks he has its odd that no-one else has any interest in him. That's all, nothing odd about it. And your second sentence is pathetic.

So no other club is willing to pay for potential except us? That can't be right. More likely they think the fee outweighs the potential.

Luckily for us, no-one else seems to have the slightest interest. Which is a bit of a worry in itself....

Could still be Chapman?

JOHNSON OUT!

How ridiculous that he was ever appointed manager of England. Absolute joke.

Saw him play in several derbies. Great player, loyal 1 club man and a gent. Commiserations.

We could send our scouts to the Invictus Games?!!

Yes, obvious Naye-Sayer. Drown him!

Not your mouth though I'll bet!

I'd be cautious about this. We haven't faced any top clubs yet. Big challenges to come.

Yes----fair call IF it happens. Still would like to see Chapman signed.

What's the nature of Davenport's injury? Anyone know when he'll be fit?

Well if people are over complicating this, you are making it up! No-one has written him off, merely queried the size of the fee asked. We are told Forest wanted 12M for him----do the extent of his achievements justify that fee?

We're going round in circles but I agree there is no problem with Venkys spending money! I'm all for it! So long as we have the funds for the other areas where we need them. I'm sure we can all agree on that?

Rather personal that post eh? No need for it.

Evans is like a new signing!! League One obviously wasn't his thing!

I was just thinking we could easily have gained 9 points so far. Football eh?

An away draw is always good but I get your point.

Obvious I know, but lose this and we are off to a poor start. Got to keep that momentum going.

Good question!

I think we should have a poll on this! Question is a) should we spend money on a player with potential that will grow and develop here? OR b) should we spend it on some over-paid player on daft wages who's barely played over the last 12/18 months? Gee, its a tough one Chaddy's asking and I'm going to take my time and think it over.

Didn't have internet then Bob but .if I had, you could have looked back and seen how ecstatic I was! No comparison between then and now, Jack determined to spend money and me happy to watch him! Venkys however..........erratic and simplistic. TM has actually said he's had to calm them down! More likely to suddenly turn the tap off as keep it flowing.
