According to DC in this morning's papers we will probably have to dip into the loan market again,when are we actually going to get a board prepared to invest in the squad I find it incredible that we didn't have a goalkeeper lined up by the opening of the January transfer window it is the one position on the field that you cant afford to mess about with if we go into Sat's match with what we have got and fail to get a result the blame will lie squarely on the managements shoulders.

What do you class as reasonable investment? I am sure it is different to everbody else. Some people suggest we spend 300k+ for Boogle for instance. DC says he wants the right players (permanently) and might have to wait until the summer to get them, hence the prospect of loans now. I guess we may have a keeper lined up but they needed to get him over here to have a proper look at him

Same old moan...
Makes you wonder how we ever got back-to-back promotions.
Shame we can't use some of the £millions of debt wasted by the last board.

We have a smokscreen of a training ground, becuae UWE isnt happening, whuls Wael is undermining DC by nit putting his hand in his pocket for the team according to some

Isn't there an Italian keeper with a fairly good CV on a month's trial as of yesterday?

And what is your interpretation/expectaion of the new era? What do you consider reasonable investment in the team?

Although it was the belief of many that the new owners were going to throw cash at the club, it was soon obvious that that would not happen - hence the 'evolution' mantra. I am just grateful for the time being that BRFC is afloat and in Div 3.

As our average attendance is 9200 now surely there's revenue now for funding players ? & we're not servicing the Wonga loan

" if we go into Sat's match with what we have got and fail to get a result the blame will lie squarely on the managements shoulders." And if we win, trunky, you'll be the first to praise the 'management', won't you. Well, you will, won't you?

I will be ecstatic if we get a result my point is why take the chance,we have known for some considerable time that we desperately need a keeper.

I totally agree with Trunky -- Its not like we haven't known we've needed a new goalkeeper. And after the match at Charlton we also need further recruitment to keep us in this division. I thought Clark had already had this sewn up weeks ago -- Maybe I was wrong.

I thought Clark had already had this sewn up weeks ago -- Maybe I was wrong. Maybe Curci us the no 1 target, but we havent had chance to run a final eye over him given he is playing abroad. Based on Charlton, i would agree, but based on 20 odd games in total i would say the table suggest we will be ok

Let's get this straight, a new owner comes in, pays off all of the old board, pays off Wonga, employs a professional team to go through the shoe box and sort out the paperwork for UWE, buys a new training ground, (buying the site itself is probably the cheapest part of that project) gives the manager the biggest fattest contract any Rovers' manager has ever had, gives the manager the support team that he asks for including a recruitment specialist, we had a playing squad of 35 (largest in our history it was reported).
The manager has said that he has funds.
He's said that he's looking at bringing in a loan player, did he say that he wasn't going to bring in any permanent signings?
Geez, I like a good moan more than most, but even my glass is more than half full at the moment.

Think we have 4 keepers with one out on loan. One injured, will he ever play again. Can we return Roos?
How many keepers available at this stage of the season?
How many can we afford to pay for till end of season?
Is a central defender a higher priority?

I guess we may have a keeper lined up but they needed to get him over here to have a proper look at him If you mean Bogle Sprout then he is destined for higher leagues. We did have a chance to sign him before he went to Grimsby but Clarke called that one right at the time by winning promotion with the squad he had. Apparently Forest are in for Bogle for £1m. Not bad for a £30k investment.
