Summer transfer window 2021.

[Hi Mack]

The season ahead already has a worrying tone to it. What are people thinking?? 10 signings needed?? 
 

Im not sure we have the man to achieve this!

Why? Do players not get tarnished in the same way?

Why are so obsess with it? Would you want an ex dingle in charge here? 

We aren't signing Gray. Simple as. 

Time to move on Roversfan99

We can sign around 5 players due to squad rules of players in your squad over age 21

I'd take Dyche or Howe, 100%.

We can sign as many players as we like.

It is the managers job to decide which of those go towards our 25 man limit. Some will go the other way out of the club and others will have to make do with being in the u23s.

We've enough problems to deal with before telling ourselves we are only allowed x numbers of signings.

Looks like Pelly Ruddock is going to decide on his future this week, most likely heading to Boro.

Rovers want cash not player swaps

That's because we have no intention of reinvesting any in players.

What Rovers' fan in their right mind WOULD NOT WANT Sean Dyche!?!?

Same one who supports Mowbray with stealth.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

What a mess this Club is in both on and off the field of play.

Clusterfcuk fc.

Gray is a fantastic player and would undoubtedly improve Our first 11 but with his Burnley connection (I could forgive if he did the bisuness) homophobic tweets and all the Leon best vibes I’d rather we stayed away. It’s the first time i can remember saying a player who would walk into our team stay away but I just couldn’t cheer him or support him in anyway. He seem like an absolute prat and that’s being polite

I'd take John Bond over Mowbray, and he's been dead for years.

[Oldgregg86]

I think nearly all rovers fans would welcome Sean Dyche with open arms. The sad thing is he wouldn’t consider us. The heartbreaking truth is they are a better proposition than us right now and that needs to be rectified asap

Linked with Tom Doyle on Twitter. Man city youngster plays CM.

I seen that but was from a Man City forum. Typical "mate said" rumour

[AspRover]

For what its worth (ie. absolutely naff all) Tom Doyle captained my Rovers side to back to back champions leagues in FM20

[roversfan99]

Doyle has played 1 league game ever. Looking at our squad, I dont think that is what we need.

Two of our better performers last season in Harwood Bellis and Elliott had hardly a senior game between them either.

Granted it is not ideal and a bit of experience needs to be added but it needs to be the right quality too which is going to be difficult as it looks like we don't have a pot to piss in.Id rather see short term deals than giving out longer contracts to older players who are either coming to the end of their careers or injury prone... Ayala, Johnson etc 

The link is probably nonsense anyway

That seems a very odd take. Talent over appearances surely?

Totally agree if he turns out to be like Elliott or Harwood Bellis. My attitude to loanees is always if they are better than what we have, then go for it. We do need experience too but if he is good enough, great. Point being that we cant possibly know how good he is yet in the context of senior football. Playing kids football is not the same.

Is he going to propel us into the playoffs I doubt it. Use our own academy and stop developing other clubs youngsters.

True but with what we likely have to spend we will be most likely be gambling anyway.I don't think we will be in the market for in demand players.Be either cast offs who failed at their current clubs or loans from premier league acadamies.

I dont agree with that necessarily, of he is better than our players then by all means. Plus it is more likely to be about survival next season. But there is no evidence to know either way.

Very true. Hope he is worth the risk if indeed the rumour is true but very difficult to be enthusiastic about a player who has played a solitary league game ever.

Yep. Only way to progress long term for me.

Nobody we sign is going to do that. I don’t think it’s an excuse to not bring in loan players. We need them to focus on staying up if Armstrong goes.
