Archer never really a starter surely and if Barton comes out saying now we were gazumped by a bigger club then i truly hope the reporter comes straight back at him and asks ... "Who was the back up when the obvious flawed plan failed".
FFS Please do not tell me the only striker we are bringing in is Leon Clarke --- Starting to think that the only part of this club that doesn't deserve non league football is the fans!!

Am I missing something or did we not lose £3m last year which our President has had to fund. Yet we still think we can splash oodles of money on league one/championship players even if they wanted to come and why would they. We need to face facts we are a small lower league club delivering losses year after year and we have to cut our cloth accordingly. In that case why pretend we are mounting a promotion drive whilst spending £m's on a L1 standard training facilities? Because we started the training ground when we were in League one and I assume no one anticipated relegation. |

Sometimes players become available late in the window, especially loans due to other moves.
I've got a feeling we'll get a striker that so far hasn't even been linked.
Although Leon Clarke appears to be coming in too, as long as a squad player then, shrug.

I was responding to the specific point about signing players to get us out of our seats not about our overall recruitment/development strategy. m Only repeating what JB said early on in his tenure ( or words to that effect ) Also you don’t need to splash out silly money on transfers if you know what you’re looking for , perhaps if we had a competent scouting network we would do better , again , if you’re happy you carry on but I’m not Of course I'm not happy why would I be I want to see us as a successful club unfortunately, with our complete dysfunctional organisation we have little chance of that. |

As has been mentioned, free agents don't have to be signed by 11pm today. So if the likes of Whelan, Clarke, Brown and Evans are inbound, there is no rush to force it through quickly today.
Maybe the clubs priority right now is outgoings to create space for them. Also, focusing on any players they are possibly looking to sign from other teams who would need to be done by the deadline.

Wow .... just gone 1pm and all we have to show are a few rumours that were actually going around yesterday - meh So as things stand - Possibles are two ageing guys who have been on trial for two weeks - Free Two Free agents - Neither game changers - Free One mystery striker - maybe from Villa on loan as a Thank you for taking our young Academy Lad Not sure where the excitement is or the statement of intent from our Board ! Only the loanee needs to be announced today of course so starting to become less and less interested in this pantomime. Do you mean we're going to sign Roy Orbison? |

We seem at least to be getting news on who we’re not signing!
In terms of out-and-out goal scorers / no. 9 types, would Brett Pitman, with Leon Clarke as backup be enough?

This deadline day is just like when my Saturday team is scrambling round for players at lunch time because the squad is still hungover, and we’re at the last resort asking our mates dads to kit up.

Oh ok,after such a dismal last season the only option was to say we would bounce back immediately otherwise a pronouncement of its going to be mediocre etc would be untenable and deemed unacceptable and lacking ambition by all of us,now whether he believes it is a different question. |

Not glowing references from the Blackpool or Crewe fans replying to that. Bit concerning. Given the reviews we got for JCH and players like Ehmer I've learned to take it with a pinch of salt; especially since the lad was only 20 at the time |

I imagine the loan window is longer and thus we'll have more options on loan.

Bristol Rovers are set to complete the signing of left-back Junior Brown on a free transfer. Brown is a versatile left-sided player who can play as a left-back, a wing-back or even as a winger further up the field. The 32-year-old is vastly experienced, having endured spells in the EFL with the likes of Fleetwood Town, Scunthorpe United and Shrewsbury Town. Brown, who was also on Coventry’s books, joined Scunthorpe last summer on a one-year deal, making 14 appearances in League Two for the Iron. Fills ALL Rovers criteria on 3 fronts: 1 Fleetwood, 2: Coventry 3: Over 30. What a fecking joke we have become. |

Heard from an itk that the reason Clint Hill left is so Barton can make him his Deadline Day star signing

Invent a rumour about a particular player may be leaving, have several poster declare it’s a disgrace if said player goes. Strange mentality to make it up in the first place and then to be so alarmed about what hasn’t happened yet. We need to remember every one of the players JB inherited was brought to the club, or brought through the ranks of the club to play in a League at least one tier above where we are, as such should any player choose to leave or be sold in order to help achieve our return to that level it’s not a disgrace it’s a necessary component of our attempt to re-emerge. It might fail, it might succeed but to hold on to the present because you fear the future is going to stagnate us not evolve us. If we end up with a squad committed to performing to the best of their ability regardless of age or previous experience, proud to represent us in the quarters and demonstrate that to us in the remaining fixtures then if we have to lose one or two of our current heroes to do it then so be it.
I remember the time when you kept your quality players like Jarman, Taylor, Prince, David Williams for season after season so that they racked up 300+ appearances, that doesn’t happen now, it they’re good they are gone in 200 games or less, JCH managed 38 that’s not even a season’s worth. Anssi and Alfie have both managed more games than that. So we have to be realistic, they’ll stay if they want to, they’ll go if they want to. We just need to get behind the squad we retain on September 1st

The only odd thing about these 4 is they have been without a club all window if Barton wanted them why not get the in early July like the others then they would be match fit and ready to go |
