Confirmation that young Jack Evans is leaving the club. Announced it himself on Twitter. Would expect retained list soon.

Absolutely shocked at that. Very decent prospect who was extremely highly rated.

Unfortunately very injury prone so no surprise that the club could not take the risk.

Luke Brennan seems to be our new Damian Duff... Liverpool chasing him, Sign him up on a long term contract!

Liverpool and at a stretch Leeds I could just about stomach.

Losing a young star in the making to Brighton would be tough to take.

A Premier League club will always be able to outbid a club in the Championship.

Evans was overtaken by Lewis Thompson for that wing-back role and was always average in the middle of the park for me. 14-month injury means he's lost out on a lot of progress. Shame for him because he's got talent.

I cant see any keeper of 32 coming here as number 2. He will want to play surely

If he signs as soon as June is done, that's 6 games he could potentially play in (I assume, if some weird loophole in the rules doesn't stop that). At the least, he'd be around in training to get a closer look at. I wonder if the thinking is to see how he does in order to assess whether we need another number 1 challenger, or just a backup.

Actually giving him game time to that end could be risky during (hopefully) a promotion push though. Though I expect if we miss out on that dream early, he would be played.

That's stupid. That's basically chopping 6 games out of players' careers if they dare to move clubs now.

Anything come out about whether clubs can make players stay on to finish the season? Because if they can't force it, you're gonna also end up with clubs losing players but unable to replace them, which is also stupid.

[chaddyrovers]

If we sign McLaughlin for example he wouldn't be allow to play until next season cos he wouldn't be register here. 

Clubs can offer a month extension players like Liverpool have done with Adam Lallana. Or like we have with Walton and Adarabioyo

Asked Rich Sharpe about deals for Graham, etc for 6 weeks 

His reply

don’t foresee any problems. All have been training. Club have to notify them by June 23 of their plans.

Good news everyone. Marcus Maddison has been released by Peterborough and Hull don’t want to sign him. So that’s the next 50 pages of discussion sorted.

Rovers linked with German defensive midfielder Erras from Nurnberg

That would be the worst possible move. He is absolutely useless. It beggars belief that we didn't exercise our option to end him back in January as it is since it seems we knew we wouldn't be looking to take him on permanently then.

"He's not good enough and we won't be looking to sign him permanently but hey, I know what we'll do, we'll give him another few months until the end of the season!"

Seems to be improving to me.
