    Hopefully there's a solid reason for it, like people being on holiday and the club wanting to coordinate the reveals. But there's just a tiny bit of me starting to worry that we're doing another January, and offloading players only to find the ones we hoped for don't come through, then rushing to fill the gaps unsuccessfully.

    Alan Nixon and EFL published, both out and out clickbait businesses who grift by publishing any old crap …. I’ll wait Dave . It happens it happens . They don’t exactly have great record with loan keepers . Look what they did with Goodman last season ?

    From a comms perspective, I see the value in waiting until you do the away kit reveal, and showcasing the new players in it. Putting a high profile new signing in a new product you're trying to sell is a decent strategy that adds value to both announcements. But I'm starting to worry that's hopeful thinking...Roll on 5pm and we'll see!

    Smart money is on Phillips and Elder as the 2 that are done. A few people are hearing the same from various 'ITK' sources.

    But as ever, its never 100% until the club post it!!!

    Probably waiting for Milwalls cheque to clear before we commit. We are that risk adverse

    My brother has been down to the club shop and was asking about any signings and one of the staff said only signings and media stuff been going on is commercial deals, now im not saying they are in the know but they would know what's going on in the stadium surely.

    Doubtful. They dont want shop staff taking pics and circulating. Will be all done after hours or out of sight.

    We'll take what we can get for sources at the moment.

    Yes, ever since @Silverbantam@Silverbantam stopped hiding behind the bins and @Bronco@Bronco didn't walk past the training ground anymore

    This made me laugh more than it should have. Might be little less risk averse now we have money to spend.

    If we somehow managed to pull that one off we got one of the best players in the division.

    Ties in with what we need. A strong all round CM who can protect the defence and also bring goals to the team

    Also would tie in with how Donnie are able to afford Alfie May. Im sure the dogs paid a 7 figure fee for him so cant see them letting him go for cheap

    that being all said and done, even with the Metcalfe money, I can’t see us being able to afford him

    12.months left on his deal. Can see them cashing in or lose for free. Im guessing £500-£750k will do it.

    No, but there's 4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

    You need to re-read what you have written at the bottom of every post.

    Or change it, perhaps.

    It's been confirm Alfie May is joining Doncaster on loan rather than permanent so I'd imagine they'll only be paying a % of his wages.
