Does anyone think we'll make any permanent signings in January?
-
I really hope so mate..I hate having so many loan players in our team..
-
We have no choice,we will without a doubt make a couple of permanent additions.

No

Thomas and the other lad on 6 month's

Great, another thread about the same stuff as the other threads.
-
We need to imo need 5 or 6 new faces maybe 1 or 2 loans but rest permanent. The board need to back us for once.
-
Do you really think it’s a case that the board doesn’t back the manager.?
Or that the manager is being choosy.?

For once? Your having a laugh are you not? How about every year since they moved in to the tune of millions.

Here we go. Another thread on the same theme.
Rubbish Bramhall. Get your cheque book out.
Oh dear oh dear. :headbang:

I know 'rovers return 'makes me laugh

You know when your lucks out , when the player your trying to sign and who couldn’t get a game with his parent club suddenly scores a Hat Trick for for them on his debut !

Wonder what GB makes of this forum. Bet he has a sneaky look every now & then.
Must have a sense of humour if he does. You really couldn’t make up some of the stuff on here if you tried. :facepalm:

Jesus wept. No wonder the Red Baron and the others have given up on the forum.

They back us every season, without them we would n’t be where we are!!!

After Adam Idah performance a lot of
clubs,will be threatening there players with a loan move to rovers

Thomas and the other lad on 6 month's
he said players not people that think they are

Another bed-wetting thread that will no doubt go round in circles and go nowhere..

Yup, it's near on unbearable.

Just me that thinks loans will do? Just because it's January. Better off starrting in the summer we're not going up or down this year.
-
A combination of both hopefully Padge..
If we follow the model from be first part of the season we could take on one or two more loanees - players like the lad from Norwich, who aren’t for sale or who would be too expensive..
But if we can take one or two permanent players with deals similar to the Cheltenham deal May got, that would be ideal.
Then more in the summer.

I don't really care how DM chooses to go about the transfer window as I expect he will do his damndest to give us the best chance of getting into the play offs or better.
As long as every player who wears the shirt gives 100% whilst they are here then that's all we can ask.
I don't think Dieng, John, Ennis or Sheaf will feel they are being treated any differently by the fans when the whistle blows. I certainly cheer them on just the same!

Correct DBR while they wear that Red & White hooped shirt they are one of us just the same as the others who have Rovers contracts.
They have all given 100% to the cause.

There is no issue whatsoever with signing loan players, non at all.
But our squad needs strengthening and we can only add one player to the squad if we only sign loans.
So by default we can’t only sign loan players in jan as this would mean we’re only signing one player which is obviously nowhere near enough
-
Overall squad, or match day squad?

Yes, of course we are limited to the number of loans so, we will always require a core of contracted players however, as said before, if DM sees fit to utilise the loan system to the max by acquiring players of better quality and for less than it would by permanent signings, then that should be fine by everyone. Yes, we hope to see some evidence of maybe both in the not too distant future. DM knows he will have to manage contracts short term and long term. If he thinks he can manage recruitment in the summer using the same principles who are we to judge other than what we see on the pitch.
What makes my blood boil is comments like one I saw on a tweet from Liam Hoden when he was updating about Idah, someone said "We don't want another loan. We want the board to back the manager with permanent signings".
It's an obsession with some. If we're not buying players for published fees then the board can't be backing the manager inferring the board are not spending enough of their wealth. I just wish people would engage brain before posting these things.

I agree, there’s nothing wrong at all with signing loan players. But when you look at our bench you realise that we need more than one addition to this squad. And the only way this can happen is by signing a few players on permanent deals.
If we’d only one player on Loan currently then I’d be saying get 3 or 4 in, we need them but we can’t get that number in on loans and the fact is we need 3 or 4 players so some are going to have to be permanent deals

Overall squad, or match day squad?
What would be the point in having 7/8 loan players when only 5 can be used?
-
We have “lost” two loans recently so we could take two or more loanees..
For the squad, that is..

Haven't you questioned the size of the squad overall?

Same as why you have more players in the squad - injuries, suspensions, lack of form..
Not saying we should have 7/8 loanees though..

Your asking a lot with that last line DBR.
This “the board are not backing the manager” line has been going on for years.
The no of loans has increased this season and that line has got louder and louder and louder.
Loan players come free don’t they. Cheap option. Oh dear oh dear, i just don’t think some people will ever get it will they. There are some of course that don’t want to get it. They just take great joy at slagging our board off at every opportunity.
Some of us DBR are just banging our heads against a brick wall.

In the past few days you've described the squad as 'weak' and 'threadbare' and gone to some length to argue it was a mistake to let May go prior to replacing him. No caveats about these comments being limited to contracted players.

So are you happy with the squad size overall then? Sufficient competition for places as it stands?

Thankyou,
As I just stated our discussion was regarding contracted players on our squad. But your mate is suggesting I was talking about the numbers in the squad overall

Of course not,
Signing 4 players on loan when we can only play one of them isn’t really going to help that situation though is it?

Please stop bringing up arguments from days and weeks ago.
I said 10/11, your other mate said 11/12 and you said 16/17.
I can comfortably state we only have 10/11 contracted players who are capable of playing league 1 football.

You are allowed to be wrong..

This is so true every time signings or budget is mentioned it's inevitable that the thread will end up in point scoring and over the top fact checking/microscopic checking of old posts for contradictions. People maybe enjoy it (they must to do it so often)

It’s like a kindergarten on here.
Unfortunately there is one person who will never ever admit he is wrong about anything. He has to get the last word in and winds 3 or 4 of us to such a degree that we are all stupid enough to get drawn.
I am trying to keep well out of it. It’s just so repetitively boring and as some have said is not welcome and spoiling it for others.
Why some posts always end up with this tit for tat is really quite childish.
I have been guilty as i said in allowing myself to get involved.
I keep saying i won’t and keep getting drawn. Sorry.
From now on can we all try to behave like adults and just simply get behind the Club we all portray to support.
Come on everyone let’s make this forum something we should all be proud to be part of. Can we please.
We should be better than this.

I take no pleasure at all from these kind of debates but I get irked by the repetitive direct and indirect digs at the club.
The club isn’t perfect, individuals will make mistakes and in retrospect bad decisions, but a lot of issues are bad luck or beyond our control such as Sterling and Idah, and good players performing below expectations. Exaggerations, impatience, and jumping to conclusions are all too rife.
That’s why I get involved, to try and counter where necessary, to try and counter what I see as rash or unjustified posts - without resorting to personal stuff or insults - and yes, it can spiral out of hand so I apologise for letting that happen..
At least we have a football match tomorrow to look forward to..

I said it earlier, some people argue because of who the poster is, the point of the thread becomes irrelevant when trying to score points or belittle the other person, it’s boring and it’s certainly pissing folk off

I do agree with this, whatever I post I can guarantee one of three people will start having a go at me.
I’ve had many people message me and ask me also in person who these people are and if I know them but I’ve never met them in my life. So I don’t know the issue.
2 years ago campsall was amongst the most negative posters on this forum and now anyone who says a bad word against the club gets it full barrel just because he’s changed his tune.
Anyhow I agree, it’s childish and boring for others.
I think people should be allowed their opinion without being told they don’t have a brain etc.

When was i negative about the club 2 years ago. Negative about DF blowing the league title yes i was. Never about the club. Never.
Evidence please.
I thought we were going to stop this, but here you go starting an argument by posting something which is a blatant lie.
Last word again. You are the one having a go at 4 of us and you can’t see it.
Are you going to call a cease fire or not. Enough is enough don’t you think.
End of. End of. End of. OK :)

Over the last couple of days I've noticed at least two 'Over and outs' from you and now three 'End ofs' ..... and STILL you react immediately to a post by dickos1 in an argumentative way.
The forum is being spoilt lately.
It's childish, it's counter-productive, it's divisive and it's boring.
You can now come back at me by suggesting I just ignore the posts or that I don't have to comment. But there are so many similar threads running at the moment which just end up with you having petty arguments with someone.
Have a think before you post, perhaps?

It wouldn’t surprise me if none or very few come in. It seems to be a constant statement of irons in fires plan B if plan A doesn’t work out. One for the future
I’m hoping I’m wrong but I just don’t feel a lot changing
Please feel free to remind me of these comments if I’m proven wrong as I’d love to be proven wrong

So are Bolton, according to their chairperson, but they’ve signed 3 already!

You would hope so, as they neshed our game like big babies due to them not having any senior players.

Heard it tonight on the RS interview!

Well, let's hope we can have a bit of fun with it when he does actually get on over the line and perhaps incorporate it into a song!
Any suggestions?

To the tune of "He's got the whole world in his hands", "We've got a new player over the line".
-
Instead of “sign him up” the chant could be “signed him up”..?
-
Or,
“Nice one Darren, nice one son. Nice one Darren, let’s sign another one..”
-
I remember years ago Terry Venables signing two Chinese players for Palace I think it was.
When asked about it he replied something like. "You know what it's like, you get one and twenty minutes later you need another one".
Very non PC these days but it made me laugh.

Looks like rovers are finding it hard to get transfers over the line. I dont pretend to be in the know but are we offering enough in wages?
