Rosie said he was excited by what was happening and everything would fall into place come the end of the window.
If them 3 signings excite Rosie then I can only imagine the disappointment of his mrs on their wedding night

Think we could all do ourselves a favour and not take everything as a literal statement. Not to mention we have zero clue how these players perform in black and amber.
 
It must just be me but I am pretty happy with the business we have done so far this summer. Clearly players will be leaving and I don’t see it as a good idea to let Oscar go if there are no replacements in place. Overall the players we are linked with sound good options and I think the club is being well run at present. We have to be realistic though and without the parachute payments we are shopping in a whole different market to the top teams in this division I do feel though that when the window shuts we will be stronger.
The type of person who would snap your hands off if he was offered a final league position of 12th now.
 
Just in case anyone is wondering later.

If a club is in a ‘Full Application’ at 22:30:00, they will receive a warning that states the system will open a ‘Quick Application’ at 22:45:00, where only certain fields need to be completed.

In those last 15 minutes of the Transfer Window, EFL systems allow Clubs to submit the necessary registration form without completing the full application process. Where they do this, the Clubs then have a further 15 minutes to then complete the full application process. This avoids Clubs missing the deadline in circumstances where they have agreed and signed all necessary documents with another Club and the player before 11pm, but still need time to complete the full application.

I've stopped listening to Rosenior completely because he talks more ****e than a multi-level marketing salesman.
 
I like LR but think the points about inexperience and niavety are very valid, and do sometimes think he talks himself up a bit too much, perhaps without really realising. That being said, I think people are being a tad harsh - we finished 15th last year, and if we're being honest, don't necessarily have the same appeal as other clubs in a similar position who either have a bigger following historically or are more appealing geographically.

Oscar scores goals, but we look noticeably better with Delap upfront. Twine and Philogene are exciting additions, Lokilo was a cheap punt as it's fairly clear Longman and Allyhar aren't up to the level, or at least not in LR's eyes. Connelly has started well and clearly gives us a threat running the other way. Left-back may or may not work, but has pedigree.

Agree with many about the lack of athleticism/legs/battler in midfield. Also agree the keeper is a tad underwhelming. Worth saying I also have no idea what's gone on behind the scenes and how much of our business has gone to plan. I think it's very possible LR's manner, coupled with his inexperience, has led some potential targets to pursue other options.

Before Davies opted to go elsewhere, many neutrals on Twitter were throwing our name about for the most impressive championship window. I don't think that's the case, but I also don't think it's the piss poor window many are making it out to be. Fingers crossed things go our way today.
 
Where are we with just over 10 hours left in the window...

* City working hard to get Philogene deal ratified

* A deal to sign James Furlong from Brighton is close

* Tyler Morton deal progressing well

* There could be a late surprise as the day wears on

* Departures expected including Oscar, Fleming and maybe one or two more...
still waiting for philogene to be ratified seems to be taking it's time

Fair play, I don't really look at other fan pages etc so honestly didn't know. I just go on people I talk to in the industry at other clubs etc and nobody is really mentioning us as doing anything spectacular in the market
Hardly surprising if you are talking down the club's signings to your mates in the same way you talk them down on here.
 
That's strange, on most podcasts and other social media followings, most neutral fans have us as up there with Birmingham as having had one of the best windows.

He did say he did not look at other fan pages etc, and he never said the new players were ****e did he it was just his opinion that they were not of the experience that maybe was expected or hoped for.

He said nobody is really mentioning us doing anything spectacular. Maybe the people he speaks to need to brush up on their football knowledge.

But again Syd they might not think that we have, myself i think we have done good so far and could get alot better with the 3 mentioned and maybe one later in the day but that is my opinion doubt everyone will agree.
