    Remember DC's interview earlier this month when he said he wants permanent deals BUT will look at loans during the last week of the window because they are easy to get as so many available to him. So, why is he struggling then????

    We need a winger as well as Craig.

    Can't be that difficult? Other clubs are signing players left right and centre.

    Listen to 45 seconds of this clip. from 4 mins 30 secs to 5 mins 15 secs. Does DC sound like loans will be easy to bring in? If so, where are they???

    This was a few weeks ago before the Blackpool game.

    I don’t know what it is ? Is it a mixture of the crap facilities that the club have to contain with or just the fact that we don’t seem to have the staff on board that can actually chase down and close a deal with any other league club, it always irks me when I see other sides from our division bringing in loaners from Premier League clubs and all we seem to get hold of is someone from Salisbury City or the like, I.e. a club where someone at Rovers has had previous aliegence ! Oh well, still an hour and forty eight minutes to go , perhaps in that time I might be made to eat my words !?

    He certainly made it sound like it would be easy getting loans in! And he clearly wanted 4 in and he's got 1!

    I dunno what it is. Plenty have turned us down, and our crap facilities must be a factor, but we do attract some quality like Sercombe and hopefully also Craig.

    Luke Thomas of Derby chose to play in Scotland rather than the Rovers. Two loans tried for and two failures

    In the clip above, DC said he has hundreds of loans available.

    The post are suggesting we could be in line for Kyle Bennett who has just left Portsmouth.

    Bennett played 44 times in Pompey's promotion season last season.
    Pompey fans are shocked at his departure. He is now a free agent so no fee. He signed a 3 year contract extension in the summer so still had 2.5 years left.
    He has been involved in 22 games this season but now fallen out of favour.

    On his day, Kyle Bennett is an excellent winger. Sorry to see him go. He is a good character, and I hope he plays well for you <ok>

    We just need the holding M/F now then we have a full set.
    There seem to be a lot of players who have ripped up their contracts of late presumably this gives them more time to find a new club
