Summer transfer window 2021.

15m-17m according to sky.   All guesswork by the sounds of it 

[Polky]

Glad it’s finally over, best of luck to the lad. Just hope we can get someone decent in to replace him or Dolan finds his shooting boots!

Nicko saying it includes Obefemi - whether that's on a perm or not who knows.

HAS to be a perm.

If it’s 15m-17m plus Obafemi then we’ve pulled a blinder.

[islander200]

Might make other teams match the offer.Arma may prefer Palace and London

It's a shame Mowbray prefers loans lol

[chaddyrovers]

I reckon Southampton are paying 15 million plus few add ons.

[sharpysharps86]

Good deal for all parties if true and the deal includes Obafemi. Less so if it doesn't.

Really hope some of the money gets reinvested into the team. Don't mind 2 or 3 loans as it's the norm at this level but a couple of permanents are desperately needed.

Haven’t got a clue if this guy is any good. We really needed a winger tho. 
 

Has to be said I’m really not a fan of just using loans to fill out the squad. We have decent enough academy players to do that.

Be reasonable, of course it’s not embarrassing. We desperately need bodies and a winger in particular. 

Just want the Arma saga to be over. It needs to be finalised this week to give us a chance to find a replacement. £15m isn’t great but it’s time to move on.

Now what? He starts playing for Liverpool whilst we developed him?

What about our youngsters that have loads of talent that we could be developing.

It's just another loan that will block Butterworth, Dolan, Chapman, Brennan, Burns getting first team minutes.

If it's 15 including add ons that's pretty shite.  Probably puts it between 10-12 mil cash and a few million based on goals/England caps or something.

 

Far cry from the £20 million we were rumoured to want.

Agree 15m straight is disappointing with the sell on. Contract situation fucks it up I suppose but I think Southampton have got a proper bargain there.

I agree to some extent but he’s played a level above all of them - we also started our Armstrong “journey” with a loan so I just don’t see the point in dismissing something purely on that basis either.

If we can get a proper 18 together - a few of those - Brennan/burns can go play in league 1/2 and come back better like Haydn and Scott

But a lot closer to his actual value !

[Tom]

Sounds like £15m Max including any add ins that may come to pass 

About what was expected really 

[1864roverite]

The reality is that Rovers had very few cards to play because they have a fucking idiot at the helm!

 

Good luck to Armstrong, lets hope he does well. If he doesnt bomb he can always come back on loan !

We have lost 11 players, our young players will still get opportunities.

With the best will in the world it's being extremely optimistic to expect 11 players from our academy to be ready for championship football.Some will make it others won't

Dolan will play more and more. Brennan needs a loan for a season. 

Chapman not good enough. Should have never been re sign. 

Butterworth isn't a winger.
