Is it that German midfielder who kept liking tweets and things.

Schmidt or something- Weirder Bremen? 

He follows both Rovers and Holtby's accounts.

 Double barrel name - do we get 2 players for the price of one? 

Or one that can play in several positions like Joe Rankin-Costello.....

I think he has one year left at Spurs so I dont see why they would loan him out.

Clubs tend to give out new contracts before loaning players out.

Lenihan wasn’t absent though. In the lead up to the goal he was marking Meite, while Carter was marking Baldock. As the cross is about to come in the two strikers switch sides and both our centre backs have to change who they’re tracking. I don’t think there was anything wrong with their marking or positioning... it was a good cross and finish.

The issue for me is that Nyambe was in no man’s land. Split between whether to close down Obita or mark McCleary. Travis and Holtby are nowhere to be seen, which leaves both Nyambe and Lenihan scrambling to track 2 targets. 

Travis was really poor that game and his absence left Lenihan and Carter to deal with 3 central attackers. He was also responsible for a goal about 4 minutes later as well.

Besides all that, Walton should have saved it  

I'd say the biggest issue is not playing a flat back 4 and having players who never really get to grips with the full back stuff. Not unusual for gaps and players pulled all over the shop in a Rovers defense.

I'm putting 10p on Schmidt.

Duffy joins celtic

[RovingRover]

Here's a question.

Do sell-on fee's include loan fee's?

Celtic paid Brighton £2 million to loan Duffy.

Nope. And it was sell on fee percentage based on profit.

I doubt it. There may be an agreement to make the deal permanent for say £10m in the future. Rovers would lose a lot of money if they took the cut of a £2m loan fee instead. 

Do Rovers have a sell-on on Duffy?

The player we're supposedly signing today... I wonder if it's a player that we've been linked with in a transfer window in the not-too distant past?

Atsu?

Why on earth would they pay £2m to loan a player when they are out of the Champions League? Madness.

Some serious straw clutching going on now.

Probably not I'd guess. Which would be exploitable really if you think about it. Say a selling club wanted to avoid paying the previous club their cut. They could arrange with the buying club for a loan with a loan fee of say, 10 million with a purchase clause of 10 quid, and keep the lot.

And (following from my previous post) if that's the case then it would really have been a 12 million quid deal, but we will only get a cut from the 10 million. Which is us getting shafted.

Ten-in-a-row is the only thing that matters to them this season, rightly or wrongly.

You'd like to think we'll get considerably more out of Duffy and King if/when they are sold on!

That'll come down to Waggott's negotiating skills?. Both deals were done by the club rather than at a Trib.

Yeah, I think that too. I really don't think they care about the Champions League this year, they'd rather just get one over Rangers!
