You’ve said this about five times and it’s getting a bit boring. Imagine the fans of a club selling their two best players and being angry that they’ve replaced them with two inferior players. Almost like our fans are unreasonable and that’s a quality exclusive to our fan base.... How is that provoking a reaction? I’m making a point...it’s valid. Lots of people Very accepting of it and others (maybe yourself) taking it personally and that’s their / your problem. The point still stands. It started as a light hearted joke...was rounded on by people who love to hammer the club and accepted by others. It’s no more provoking than lots of the stuff on here and seeing as the thread had moved on by at least a page or two then why have you brought it up again publicly? Maybe hoping for a few snide ‘likes’...sound ?? 1 Quote

If we sold Holtby and bought Bannon I would not be going nuclear. I darent go back to my original point (which did not suggest that this place would go nuclear if we swapped Holtby for Bannan) Quote

The fans of any club would be fuming if their best players were sold and replaced with inferior ones. We are hardly unique in that regard. As for the timing, well, I was working until after 7, then played football from 8-9, so I only managed to catch up just now.... Could not care less about ‘snide’ likes, or any other kind of likes in reality. Quote

Beanie01289 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I happen to think if brentford replace watkins and benharma with bannan and toney they will be weaker Quote
G Somerset Rover Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Why is everyone on here talking about Barry Bannan? Edited October 14, 2020 by Gavlar Somerset Rover! 2 Quote

roversfan99 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Would make zero sense really unless the Greek isnt a first team keeper. If we have any money after Douglas we could spend it elsewhere. Edited October 14, 2020 by roversfan99 Quote

Probably didnt see we signed a goalkeeper the other week Would be ridiculous if this is true Quote
islander200 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 I'd move Evans on if any interest.Sick of him always being fit for international duty but hardly ever for us. 8 Quote
JacknOry Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 How many keepers do we need? Gone from one extreme to the other now lol. None on the books to about 15 Douglas in, Downing too if reasonable as he can be the utility player that Bennett isn't. 1 Quote
philipl Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 The club have already said the plan is for Fisher to go on loan and Eastwood to be the under 23 keeper. Nixon probably stirring the pot to drive interest in a transfer somewhere else or perhaps simply running late not having noticed the Rovers signing. Pears was always going to cost a transfer fee from everything I read. 1 Quote

It has to be, Pears will require a fee and we will surely not pay for a backup keeper this late in the window when we already got one. Would make no sense. Quote
