Rovers return for Brererton

[champs95]

If you just look at Mowbray's comments he explains it all quite clearly.
We are more interested in the loan (with a view to buy) market.
That's where we feel we can get a better deal.
It worked perfectly with Armstrong.

Its not a change of plan, infact nothing at all has changed.
This was always the plan from day one.

They were always going to try and offer (much less) to purchase these players on deadline day. To chance our luck.
The real intention was to try get these players on loan, with a view to buy.
The loan market gives you a chance to view a player. We took quite a few last season. Some where sent back, as they didn't work out. That's the positive, you don't have to comit to buying them.
Boro where desperate or us to buy Chapman.
In the 42nd minute on Tues night (yet again) we can all see why.

Only we aren't stupid, we do things the right way now Mowbray is here.

There is one flaw in that answer. You make it sound like NFFC want to sell?

He's 19, and part of a squad. Considering Murphy is about to be put down, he will play a part this season. Karanka has said so.
He has made sure he has a hard core squad of 25 players, vying for the same shirts.

No one is leaving NFFC unless it suits the club. We have had 2 years of hard austerity, now have cash as well as a new owner.
There is money there for another loan if he asks for it and the transfer market come January.
Carvalho was a permanent at £13M
Goncalves is a season loan, with a buy option of £12 M at the season end.

In essence, if you are serious about Brereton he is going to cost double what you have bid. That's even if he wants to leave of course.

I wasn't referring to Mowbray, Champs. I haven't suggested he has told lies. I was talking about Forest. If we offered (as the reports say) 6M on deadline-day, why are they considering the same offer now, when they turned it down flat, then?

[champs95]

We've now returned with an improved £8m offer. Season long loan, then a fee.
Football deals work like this. You offer. If thats turned down, and if you still want him, you return with a higher offer. Every time we have gone back, it's with an improved offer. Most deals are originally turned down. You then go back with a better one.

I know you don't like Mowbray to be questioned, but would you pay 8M for a relatively inexperienced 19-year-old? The market has gone mad.
