More likely end up signing the Rochdale kid and no one else. (Was it Rochdale?)

Shelvey confirmed to forest, might have been waiting on that?

Side show is finished (we won 0-1) onto the main event!

Good win, into the next round!

Yep.

Szmodics cross turned into his own net by a Brummie defender.

Extra time, annoying

It's not always Rovers fault, the Brighton lad, for example, sounds like we had it all agreed and sorted but he changed his mind. Not much we can do But overall, yes, leaving it till now is frustrating.

It was more that, if we've known about O'Brien for this long, surely any other names would have been leaked by now

It feels like it's taken an age to get O'Brien over the line (still not confirmed), I doubt we'll have another in by 11pm.

I thought he said it was done but I was trying to hear it over my noisy kids.

SSN reporting O'Brien is done.

Ah ok, thought it came from JDT. My bad.

It would be very impressive but I'm not hopeful we'll get all that done. It sounded like we only had enough wages to cover 1 incoming after Hirst left?

Sharpe hopeful

West Brom have signed Chalobah, so should rule them out of signing O'Brien

It's Nixon. Don't do it to yourself

JDT says, "Ask Greg" will likely be the update

Sounds about right

Yeah he used to be fairly reliable but his hit rate has been abysmal (certainly for Rovers) for a bit now. I won't believe anyone is signing until it's announced on the Rovers website.

Yep, you can't let yourself get carried away with rumours about Rovers on tdd. A loan for a young Prem striker we've never heard of will be about all we get.

Stunningly, Sharpe hasn't denied it. If that £10m option is mandatory, then it's deffo not happening.

Don't get your hopes up. Can't see it happening unless we're selling/loaning someone out.

We're a development club now and frustratingly, not just for our academy players.

I'm not saying there is a longer term plan, just that I could possibly understand the stance about not focusing on the play offs if there was but I think if you find yourself in a position where you have a good chance of making the play offs come the end of the season, you have to shift the thinking somewhat. It's a chance we might not get again for some time and the rewards are obvious. As I said above the clubs being relegated at the end of the season make promotion borderline impossible next season. But yeah your post, as usual, is spot on.
