That *was* the January Window

Will anything have changed by this time tomorrow? I doubt it -

Unbelieveable, or maybe it's par for the course Tomasson must be pissed off in the extreme -

Been out for a few hours. I assume we've not signed anyone except a 37-year old defender? -
Wharton may or may not be happy to take the Palace millions but the lad I'm sure would prefer to remain a Rovers player and from everything that's been said on other threads it's clear that the club have grabbed the money on offer because we're short of working capital over the next 6 months or so. If that's not being pushed out of the door I don't know what is.

There's been a few over the years who have opted not to move after a deal has been agreed. Harry Maguire to West Ham is a recent one that comes to mind, although there were reports he wanted a big payoff from United -

I admire your optimism. I'll settle for staying up. -

Do you really believe that? The bottom of barrels are being scraped here. Ditto McGuire. We've £20m in the savings account now (allegedly). These freebies only indicate to me that they never had any decent long term signings lined up and don't intend to spend our newfound riches on players -

We have the worst defence in the Championship according to The Times. Goalkeeper / defender more of a priority? -

There's some clips on YouTube on McGuire, certainly a big athlete with a physical presence. Not too sure if that's much of a recommendation though - Telalovic looked good on YouTube too -

Good move by Cardiff, he's a more than useful player -

If he's very unhappy at going, could Wharton refuse to sign for Palace? It does happen in the transfer market sometimes -

What happened to the Phillips (Liverpool) and Yates (Swansea) links? Two good players who might have made a difference -

This is what I suspected and posted last night. He's being forced out against his wishes. -

Talking of retirement, Waggott is in his late 60s. How long before he voluntarily steps off the £300,000 / year gravy train or is he going to do a Gordon Taylor and hang on grimly into his 70s? Not that his replacement would be any better -

Wrong club, wrong place, too far from home IMO. They seem a close knit family - Adam down there on his own could be the making of him but equally it might not work out. Lunnun can be a lonely place. And he'll come under the TV and media microscope now with that big fee round his neck. He won't be able to hide and sulk like he did sometimes playing for us It's the thing that grates more and more - rubbish southern former third division clubs such as Bournemouth, Brentford, Luton effing Town, eetc lording it over us and other former top northern clubs. Reflects the economy and the shift of power and wealth to the south east over the past 50 years I suppose. Bastard politicians -

Saddened to see Wharton go. Would love to have seen him develop in a Rovers shirt. I wonder how he's feeling tonight....... celebrating becoming a millionaire at 19 or in tears at being sold by his beloved Rovers? I think it's the latter. Wharton's going points to only one thing.... his sale was in effect a fire sale by the club. Venky's are desperate for cash, working capital to keep the club going. I don't expect one penny to be reinvested on incoming players -

The Times report mentioned we have the worst defence in the Championship which I assume means goals conceded. That’s partly down to Wahlstedt but also he Ed way the team plays and is set up. We need Phillips from Liverpool -

Any comments from the loquacious Wrexham fans that were on here before the match? -

Rovers have been lackadaisical this half, with better passing and control we'd have 6 or 7 on the board -

He isn't a winger. I don't know what he is, except he's not very good. -

Good recovery after giving yet another goal away. Garrett too easily dispossessed and Pears left a space on his near post. Wrexham are a threat up front, their big lads are causing Hyam all sorts of problems. This is a good chllallenge for Rovers - can we defend properly for 45 minutes?
