It would be nice to have a big signing of two, someone to really get the excitement levels up amongst the fans. At this point it's hard to know if Wael's being a bit tight (by alleged 'billionaire' standards) or if DC purposely wants to duck the inevitable pressure and expectation spending a bit of ££££ brings (a la Wenger!). Given were absolutely flying in terms of on the pitch football is there really any need to fork out shed loads on new players, especially at league one level. I'm more than happy for wael to pour his time an money into off field ventures like getting the stadium sorted , building a new training ground and improving the academy . |

Know that for a fact do you? any manager will sign the best players his budget will allow,im not unhappy with the signings but there clearly league 1 or 2 players in terms of ability and salary,i think some of our fans expected us to sign bigger names after the takeover. i didnt think that though to be honest. So no then. |

So no then. well almost anything on a forum is opinion or speculation unless the manager joins the forum,so your going to be sending lots of replies along the lines of "do you know that for a fact" its pretty obvious ive annoyed you by suggesting you were not at chelsea,,maybe get over it? |

How do you qualify flying on the pitch.we have won 1 game out of 4 in the league the only win against a fellow promotion side who slod their best 2 players in the close season? |

Padstow, I think it is fair to say we are in a good state on the pitch, if maybe not flying. Early days I know, but the two losses were to the top two in the table who by definition have got off to a flyer. I don't think many expect us to challenge for promotion this year and I think consolidation is what we should be aiming for at this stage.

I'm sure Dwayne Sports are spending lots of money back of house. Very pleased with the loans we have got in so far. Wael has a business plan which is already ahead of schedule playing wise, chill out Steve we will be fine. "I'm sure Dwayne Sports are spending lots of money back of house" Such as..? Have you not seen the new plastic topiary outside the Dribuild suite!  |

Well if it's not fact, you've written ill-informed rubbish by using the word 'obvious'. Look back over what you've written. If you're going to 'speculate', at least think about it before you write it. "any manager will sign the best players his budget will allow" - too many things wrong with this comment I can't even be bothered to start. Cant even remember your Chelsea comment. The only thing you have written that has ever annoyed me is implying we were racist for disagreeing with Ellis going to Ashton Gate. Now that was a joke. |

Have you not seen the new plastic topiary outside the Dribuild suite! not a lot that can be done at the Mem to improve it - but what can be done is being done to make it more comfortable while we are there - when was the last time you saw any paint used - and we've been there 20 years - give it time |

What's odd is now we've finally got, apparently, wealthy owners is that since they took over we're probably, more or less, breaking even on the playing side rather than making the usual £1m+ loss per season. Not sure that's down to better management or better luck! |

We don't need any more wingers, we have 3 already and they don't get game time due to the dreaded wing back formation which still leaks goals. I think it will be a CH and a CM. A CM is more than anything else, at this time

The B Post does say he's here until January, I think the reference to a 6 months loan is wrong, as I understood the new rules meant clubs could only sign players for half a season (until January) or a full one (until May). As far as your OP isn't this typical of your reaction to most of DC's signings, complain they aren't good enough initially then have to eat humble pie when they prove they are good enough aka Hartley just in the last week? The signings are what most of us were calling for in the past, up and coming young players rather than journey men like Kenneth, Virgo etc. You sense DC is trying to build is reputation on turning unknowns into good players. We just need a decent striker and CM now, plus possibly a winger to complete the squad.
I think we are ok for strikers? Unless DC has a player in mind like the 'teds Tampax Abraham who will score every week.
We know EH can blow hot & cold and, so far anyway, Gaffney just doesn't seem the player he was last season, deciding to run the risk of going right through to January with those two as our only CF's is a big risk for me. |

I think if we had certainty on the new stadium, the lack of 'big name' signings wouldn't be much of an issue for people. It's the lack of both that makes things feel a little less than satisfactory (given all the hype/excitement following the takeover).

A CM is more than anything else, at this time Agee with this 100%. A defensive midfielder who is comfortable on the ball is all we need in my opinion. |

Both the new loan signings want to make it at their parent club (as you would) and are both prepared to come on loan to prove their worth. Regardless of how well they play for rovers the decision as to whether their parent club keep them will be based on whether derby or Swansea see these players breaking into the match day squad next season. They may both play brilliant for BRFC but still get released. This would give BRFC. The chance to sign them.
Both players performed very well on loan last season so to me they appear very good loan signings ,talented ,hungry for success and happy to come and play at BRFC.
The other two players to come...will they be loan or will they be full signings ?
Full signings...well you would think that unless multiple deals are being done at the same time it's a bit late in the day for rovers to BUY a first choice /star player from a conf/league 1/league 2 club. As it would allow them no time to bring in a replacement. Not impossible but unlikely.
So it's more likely a fringe player from a league one or championship club......or a player(s) from overseas.

It's the lack of both that makes things feel a little less than satisfactory (given all the hype/excitement following the takeover). Absolutely, forget all this evolution not revolution nonsense, that's just code for not spending any money. We are in a two club city, and if we aren't in the championship within three years in a new stadium our chance will disappear. We are signing the same sort of players we did under higgs, and have silence on the stadium. It's like groundhog day! |

That 'evolution not revolution' phrase reminds me of the time one of my bosses at work said we should 'work smarter not harder'. Basically meant 'sorry, we're not taking anyone else on...now on your way'. |
