Convo will have gone like this.

Nyambe agent: “We’d like 20k a week”

GB: “Get fucked”

Agent: “well we can get that elsewhere”

GB: “off you go then”

4 weeks later, what most of the Rovers fans I spoke to knew would happen has happened. He’s gone to a team who finished 13 places lower than us. Yet some think we’ve just lost a £5million asset!!! Bang average, replaceable.

Worth baring in mind, it wasn’t that we weren’t offering enough back in January/February/March etc. Nyambe’s agent (both of them) didn’t converse with the club whatsoever about a new deal at any point in the last year. Until (surprisingly) the offers didn’t come flowing in for him. Nyambe does not want to sign for us, we don’t want to sign him. Let’s all move on.

Except we don't look like replacing him

Doom-mongers out in full force today, seem to believe Wigan have taken Nyambe from us when that's clearly not the case.

As for losing Nyambe, personally don't consider it much of a loss, offered nothing going forward and although very capable 1 on 1, still areas of weakness defensively as a full back. A player clearly motivated by money and simply not that good, good riddance.

He was a good player for Rovers, a championship quality right back. We now do not have one - nor are likely to before the season starts, and possibly beyond. How can that be a good thing?

Wanted more money than what he was worth, wasn't very good for us and doesn't fit what we need, if he was available on a free from another club I wouldn't be remotely interested in signing him. Time to invest in a right back who fits the system.

Bodies is what we need tbh. Square pegs in round holes would be an improvement right now because atleast we'd have some pegs.

We don't currently have a Championship quality RB on the books, so that's a brave stance from Rovers.

Perhaps JDT wants a right back that has certain qualities, and Nyambe may not have them. 

[neophox]

What happened around Nyambe to Middlesbrough? Didnt Wilder rate him?

And a further drain on the wage bill - though I would obviously prefer us to sign players prior to the start of the season - if it means waiting a few more weeks to get the right signing at the right wage - though impatient I will wait.

Whatever people say about nobber, Callum Robinson isn't a bad signing...Brady looks good but obviously his fitness is in question. 

 

Wont happen...

[neophox]

JDT has said that he need signings....he wont tell us who he wants or anyone else .... why would he until they are signed?

[Boroblue]

This league is about the manager and organisation. Mowbray was terrible. We have a decent championship team. I want to see players who are committed to the cause even if they are only kids.

On side note everything we do is amateur.

obviously not,though i suspect it was a rumour,boro are well stocked in that position,tbh it`s ******* funny that nyambe has ended up at wigan(if true),certain it was`nt his chosen destination when he refused to sign a new deal😆

Richie Rich Sharpe has been here tonight...

You dont go to Celtic with this team and get a 2-2 draw with alot of youngsters....there are many talented players at Rovers and JDT gives them a chance.

That's what signings are for, where's the ambition in keeping players who can't do what is provided just to avoid signing ones who can?

But wouldn't he, or any club he wanted to go to, have to pay off his contract. That could prove expensive.

[neophox]

On a side note. Berget yet to sign a new deal for Malmo. He would fit in very well as a right wing back.

Maybe, but currently he's got a choice of Brown, Carter, JRC and Pike... so he's fucked.

It won't be much of a chance if they don't have the right support around them on the pitch with at least a modicum of experience.

He’s also repeatedly pretty much said he has no involvement in signings and that they’re down to GB and the recruitment team.

Because we've been linked with so many.

I think JDT has a choice for right-back of Brown or Pike. The other two are not right-backs. This is no-way ideal, but it is what we have at the moment. I still think we will be challenging for the play-offs this season.
