Those with rose tinted specs said come back a couple of days before the start of the season, and if we haven't signed anyone, then is the time to worry.Well, here we are. Our main goalscorer leaving, and absolutely no word of anyone coming in.It's pathetic.
Don’t we usually announce signings on Thursday?
There are some funny folk. The reason it happened so late I imagine is because we were holding out for a higher price. Club has indicated as much last few weeks via Free Press: ‘bids not near valuation’.We cannot force other clubs to pay more. Either we sold for lower amount earlier and have folk complaining about losing him for buttons, or hold out for the fee we wanted. That it came so late is not ideal but keep in mind that Rovers WON here! We got what we wanted in terms of fee seemingly.

McCann said weeks ago that planning was already well advanced for scenarios should Marquis leave. No reason to think that this has not continued to be the case.

He's a good player - legend, but doesn't finish enough chances for the championship.We do still need a couple of players and it could be playing catch up. I think it could have been done better boardroom level.Now if Whiteman left !!!
