Ryan Nayambe will be a Rovers player next season if he gets a pay rise simple as that..

If Mowbray is still in charge then for the sake of his own career he should be pushing to leave.Mowbray ludicrously leaves him out as often as injuries allow.Absolute joke how Mowbray treats him

Interesting use of Ryan as a Club mouthpiece.

I wonder how the club get players to do this and read from prepared PR tripe.

It's all about 'Jam Tomorrow' when we haven't even got a loaf of bread never mind a Baker.

The Club must spend a fortune on this PR propaganda for the, fast reducing, masses.

All based on the 15 seconds attention span theory.

So Dozzelll is one these fabled job saving signings Mowbray has lined up ?

Sounds worth a punt but prepare to be underwhelmed when this fella gets hold of him.  Ten min cameos for the next 2 years whilst he learns how to play the Mowbray way.

There’s a lot of fighting talk and pushing out of the narrative that he’s speaking to and targeting players...he probably is. But the silence is DEAFENING from India. Zero being signed off...until that changes my money is 100% on a new broom for a new season!

Do we ever sign what we need ?

This is just another 'look Madame i can turn him into something worth millions' type.

Meanwhile the top 6 moves even further out of view.

Yup, young, English, has some youth caps. Brereton, Gallagher, Armstrong, Chapman.

I have no issue with the premise of buying young English players like this in the hope of turning them into saleable assets worth multi-millions. My problem is that we are relying on TM and his coaching team to develop these players. The only success he has had is with AA but that looks doomed to be another failure project as he is in his last year and there is a 30-40% sell-on fee (plus the COVID climate and clubs not willing to overspend).

Yes as long as the contract makes sense there's no harm in these type of signings. Like you say though once this manager gets hold of them it's just another for the revolving team sheet.

I'd prefer to see a real plan of building a solid first 11 to get as high up as possible as priority. That isn't how we work though it's just chuck and chance and hope for the best.

Although Armstrong has obviously matured as a player there are still gaps in his ability. Taking on goalkeepers one to one for a start. I’m not impressed by the coaching at Rovers. Lots of players seem to reach a certain level and just stay there. Nyambe, Lenihan, Travis etc. They’re still making the same mistakes as they did as beginners.

I think the pitch debacle speaks volumes and I don’t buy the line Waggott won’t sign it off. That’s the taps being turned off in India might also explain the lack of action on the contract front

Given the situation regarding the virus in India I’d be amazed if the cheque book comes out again this summer. I think we’ll be back to the old situation of replacing good players ( Armstrong ) with inferior ones ( Dozzell ). Previous experience tells me that only ends one way.

When has the silence from India ever been anything but deafening? Hope you're right but it seems like a lot of wishful thinking based on nothing at all.

Well Johnson, Evans, Holtby, Downing and Bennett who out of contract this summer. 

I would release the lot

It will be depressing if Mowbray gets the green light to continue and a few of those start signing new deals

Dozzell is a good player if the signing is true, but I would imagine it's bs.

 

On further reading Ipswich fans saying it's from an extremely unreliable source and from that account said "made enquiries".

Lol, Dozzell hasn't even been that impressive at Ipswich. Also missed a lot of game time due to injury, so will fit right in with our philosophy of signing players who enjoy spending time in the treatment room.

If you read even further the guy who started the thread says he didn't get it from the 'unreliable' source. The Dozzell link has come up before anyway so it's not new.

If he is here to stay, I don't think he'll be making the signings, and he will accept that.

He's lost a lot of his clout with the owners and, to keep his job, he will do as he's told when it comes to recruitment.

That is why the players who are leaving this summer, know they are leaving and that decision has gone above TM, i.e Johnson, Evans, Holtby, Downing and Bennett.

Fact is, results aside, he's proved himself unreliable in his recruitment. Breo and Gallagher outweigh Dack and Arma. Ayala outweighs, well, there hasn't been a successful permanent defensive signing in his tenure. Kaminski wasn't TM.

It appeared, in fact, in January he was in the dark about the Pickering signing, so that process has already begun.

So, he can discuss transfers all he wants, but he knows that he isn't in control of it. Rightly so.

But then he gets all grumpy and doesn't play his best team.

As seen by the past 2 years of his tenure.

So they don’t trust him on recruitment, they have reduced his power, ‘others’ are making signings, the results are significantly worse... so he’s being kept on, because?
