Official Transfer Deadline Day thread…

We should have already wrapped those up, there lies the problem. If we don't bring in at least 2 permanent signings, Mansford will have failed badly this summer.
Agreed, in reality we would have loved for this to be done weeks ago, but like most deals, clubs will become more desperate the closer they get to deadline day and that's when most of the business gets done.

The club will have hopefully prepared for this and have already put bids in for other players at other clubs with the money.

Ending deadline day with no Bowler and 4m in the bank would sting.

Need 2 more by the end of the day.
 
From the Blackburn telegraph transfer talk.........

Fulham's bid for Diaz was £6 mill with add ons taking it to £10 mill
No wonder Rovers didn't have to give it much thought.

We're thinking of £4 Mill + for Josh 🤣🤯🤪
I think there’s a much much higher and realistic chance of Diaz signing a new contract at Rovers (they can and would offer him £20k + maybe even £30k a week in a new deal) than Bowler signing a new deal here. That unfortunate for us does mean Bowlers value is reduced as it’s essentially money now or money never whereas for Rovers it’s money now or possibly money never. That uncertainty works in their favour.
 
Also from the Blackburn telegraph

Looking at Siriki Dembele, the player hasn't made an impact since moving to Bournemouth and the 25 year old could make the move to Ewood Park.

Did you read that Josh?
Hasn't made an impact 🤷
 
He's getting chances in front of goal and fluffing them. Doesn't seem to be able to get a shot on target. That's not a poacher in my book. Distinctly out of form. He's a great lad but needs to re-discover what he had when he arrived at BR, somehow.
Agree about Lavery he works hard and runs around a lot but when a chance comes the ball either bounces off him, he falls over or a combination of the above. Corbeanu should have started last night or at least have come on at half time.

Blackpool are trying to rush through a deal for Brighton babe Zac Emmerson.

The former Oldham kid could get a crack at first team action with the Seasiders under Michael Appleton.

Attacker Emmerson, 18, has been in the Brighton under-21 side but senior football is better for his development.
 
Eardley coming back as development head phase somert. And the Brighton kid perhaps

If only we had as much commitment to sorting the First XI out.....
 
Sky says Bowler's fee is an initial £2m. Another £2m is dependent on appearances etc.

Also suggesting he will be sent out on loan by Forest, maybe abroad.

Desperately need a centre mid. BB will probably bring in a mentor called Sid. For the under 12s.
I think anyone we sign now can probably be filed in the ‘panic signing’ catagory.

Sometimes they turn out ok.

I have a feeling we won’t be signing anyone for the first team today and try and get a free agent or two in.

Depressing.

Possibly but we don't know. A lot can happen in the last 6 hours of TDD. I'll get depressed when there's no other option.
