Wouldn't go that far, he's been a very good player at this level.

Well past it now though. 

Sorry, maybe that was a bit harsh. But he isn't upto standard anymore. I wouldn't be signing him now!

David McGoldrick to Derby got me slightly jealous, I'd have been happy enough

You have some strange opinions on players. He's an awful footballer.

Beyond horrific.

Their man man just recycles whatever Sharpe posts.

If we're lucky he does this.

Most of the articles he's posted are to do with our departures and interviews with them. Latest one being Park - why do I care that he's at Rangers now? Yesterday he published an interview with Lenihan who now plays for Boro. Absolute garbage.

So you think Sharpe got premature tweeting about Anel on holiday? I hope nobody noticed and he got himself cleaned up.

HAHA. Well, he was on the sun lounger so you have to hope he was lathered up in sun cream so nobody noticed

Do we think Sharpe was tweeting about Anel from his sun lounger?

Feel like it was very premature if he was. We were never competing with Sheff U financially and the whole world knew they were in for him.

Never confident with regards to how quick we get transfers over the line since the Venkys turned up.

Do think JDT would have been given some assurances over transfers to get him here though.He will know 6/7 regulars from last season won't be with us anymore, and just don't think he would have chosen to come here if he had to be reliant on the free transfer/loan Market,he had other offers 

I pretty much agree with you. Just hope Venkys/ Waggot haven't stitched them up with false promises etc

In fairness to Sharpe he said signings would be made this week, never said anything about it being Monday or Tuesday when we would see some new signings

That's true! Are you confident then?

Usually would've heard at least murmurs about something if likely to be in the next day or so

Sharpe reported that Ash Phillips would sign a long term contract on July 1st… What’s happening there?

It'll have happened. It's just that Sharpe is on his holiday and the new guy at Lancs Live knows less than I do about what's going on at the club.

Which also begs the question - why did Sharpe drop a transfer grenade last week mid holiday? Should've kept his mouth shut

Odds that the first signing is pictured (holding the shirt) wearing ripped jeans?

New* shirt 😄

Think I believe unleaded's post from yesterday... GOAT

A pre season with a good manager and good coaches should do the trick with Dan

Not sure I agree with that. He just looks disinterested and lazy every time I see him. Think he's one that will end up dropping down the leagues.

Obviously hope I am wrong though

Speaking of players who may regret leaving...I wonder if Ama expects more game time this season....or is he going to get loaned out to another Championship club. 

Also linked to go to Boro on season long loan. 

There is zero chance of us signing Van Hecke. We can forget about that. If Brighton do stupidly want to sell or loan him, he'll be going elsewhere unfortunately.

May it be an employed manager , thats why it drags on?

It drags on because it’s us. Nothing more, nothing less.

They didn't win the league the season before he joined them either. He came in, won them back to back titles, and left. They're currently sitting at 5th in the table.

He certainly had an impact in his time there i'd say.

Let’s also not ignore that Malmo qualified for the champions league group stage with him as manager! They won 4 qualification rounds including Ludogrets and Rangers.

All appointments are a risk but at least this one would seem like a calculated one.

Hmmm. I can see why people don't bother giving bits they hear now.

I like hearing it. It’s good that people share and I appreciate it.

Don’t understand why people are secretive about who the players are though. Especially when there is zero chance that they’ll come to us.

He's scored 20 goals in half a season, after scoring about 7 in the previous 3 seasons.

Never mind getting injured, who scores the goals when he ceases his unsustainable conversion rate?

Fair point well made.

A forward who knows where the goal is should have been brought in. Even if they’re just better than SG at scoring.

1 minute ago, neophox said:

Hedges, Giles and Zeefuick should all be ready for saturday along with Rothwell, Khadra and Brereton back.

Okay, so who scores the goals when Brereton gets injured?

What frustrates me is before Edun gets injured we are not going in the market for a LB. So were we not going to sign anyone today?

All this talk of a player from abroad? A striker? A midfielder? These positions need addressing. Happy with the windows business? Yes. But just sick of the mixed messages coming out of the club. Happens every time window!

What's the craic with Poveda? Thought he was done for the season but Sharpe saying he is due to return in March/April? 

Leeds wouldn't let us terminate his loan.

CM and Striker a minimum today. Giles would be nice too.

More if Rothwell goes. But suck it Joe!

3 minutes ago, RoversClitheroe said:

Just looking at Ryan Hedges stats.

Why have we actually signed him? 

Have you looked at Rothwell’s stats? Why are we bothered about him going?

Hedges is decent. I’ve seen him with my own eyes. Shrewd signing.

I just hope we actually do good business tomorrow and actually spend some money.

Thoughts on Rothwell: I absolutely despise him. Understand him wanting to leave and better his finances but pushing for a move to Bournemouth? What a dick move that is. Zero respect from me.

Anyways. Hope Mowbray does the business he was already going to do - Striker (abroad? Any names?), CM and this wing back from Wolves. On top of that we need a replacement (or 2) for Rothwell.  I hope we don’t do what we usually do but can’t help feeling pessimistic about tomorrow.

He’s injured. That’s it

I agree.

Brentford I could understand but zero chance he goes to Bournemouth this window.
