The young defender from hibs who was rumoured, wasn’t playing for hibs reserves last night so maybe there were some truth to it and 1 of those loans could be him 

Kyle McClelland?

Christophe Berra is a human being with bills to pay and a young family. 
 

There is zero chance he has decided to give up his wage so we can bring in other players while he signs on at the dole office. 
 

He’ll have something else lined up, the story Rovers shared on Facebook from Berra’s wife about being ‘excited to start the next chapter’ or words to that effect definitely suggests he’s got a new job lined up

Do you have proof to substantiate this claim?

So the rumours thus far are:

Loans: McLelland (Hibs), Bates (Aberdeen), Ngweyama (Aberdeen). 

Possible permanents: Pops

Other rumours: Ambrose... ugh. 

Adam Rooney was the other one. Maybe to play centre back. That would be a turn up for the books.

Well the clock is well and truly ticking. 48-72 hours we were told that followed last week announcing 1, 2 or even 3 in before the Aberdeen game following the announcement after Stirling that we needed physicality and IM was looking to get players in. Only news we have is our only CH announcing his retirement. IM and the board need to get their fingers out and get players in and not 19, 20 yr old loam kids that may still be raw.

Yes Adam Rooney would be okay but we need at least one experienced centre half.

We were also told that the squad size would increase before coming back down to the size required. I've seen very little evidence of this. About 5 trialists have come and gone hardly a large increase in squad size when about 10 players left during the summer. Someone needs to come out and tell us what's going on. Maybe Raith TV can start asking these questions rather than skirting round the issues.

The last 2 interviews with Raith TV literally asked the manager what was happening with signings.

Source (usually reliable) that telt me about McLelland, who is adament it's definitely happening, has mentioned possible centre back from Bradford as well. No idea who though. 

There’s a lot of rumours and people seem adamant that the striker will be Pops coming back

Serious questions need to be asked rather than what's happening with transfers this week.

Is there? He played in the Premier League for a few seasons and then several seasons more for big clubs in the Championship.

Considering the finances of English football, he’d have to have been incredibly stupid with his money if he’s in a position where he can’t take a few weeks/months out of the game.

"What's happening with transfers this week?" but with a frowny face? 

Try adding an incentive?
