THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

So, did one slip through the net?

Robbie doesn’t appear to have learned from his predecessor about making statements in iFollow interviews that don’t come to fruition....

What did he say on iFollow?

That we should have another player in before Saturday. Sure it’s just be delayed slightly....

Any takers on it being announced mid morning to set the cat among the pidgeons with the headline being hes had clearance to play today? Long shot I know but not beyond the realm of possibility weve got a gentlemans agreement with the club to hold off on anouncing it to catch the opposition off guard tmro.

Probably bullshit mind you but one can hope.

He said fingers crossed there might be one in before the weekend. Wasn't a firm statement to be honest, yet Toby Lock's tweet probably got the heart racing when saying there was a potential new signing Thursday.

Got excited when I saw Toby' s tweet but took a step back when I saw the club quote RN and the interview itself.

So maybe it's been delayed.

It’s happened before. Clinton Morrison when he signed for us.

Must admit I wondered the exact same thing.

Hopefully great minds prevail

Northampton's latest target is a striker turned defender that Rochdale are happy to see leave......

I wouldn't read too much into what the others are doing.

I'm sure someone from the club will claim that the pro deals for David Kasumu and Dylan Asongyani count as two signings this window.

It's pretty worrying at this stage that we are in dire need of defensive replacements and have two of our starting back line on 8 yellow cards. What will it take to broker a peace accord between RN and our captain, leader, legend (TM)? You can see some very last minute, panic loan signings being made to prop up squad numbers.

Meanwhile all and sundry seem to be able to make decent squad additions including some players that would have been good fit here e.g. Paddy Madden & Ryan Delaney. We need to act quickly or we really will be in trouble.
