Hopefully someone sabotages the deal our end. Mess up the forms again so the transfer gets rejected. Then watch venkys and waggot squirm without their 20million

Such incompetence only ever occurs when it is a player coming in and when it requires cash from the owners....funny that.

We'll sell Wharton now, can't afford not too.

JDT and GB walk - my view

mine too. can't see it any other way. a Wharton sale with zero reinvestment would go against the entire point of their employment at the club. they either walk, or prove themselves to be exactly like the rest of them.

JDT on Wharton - mentions a deal at the moment would include a loan back, which may pose a problem to the Palace deal if they want him immediately

With all due respect to Adam can't see that working out too well, he wouldn't be our player and would probably be mentally wrapping himself in cotton wool.

pete o'rourke is suggesting we're after jimmy dunne from qpr. not a clue on his record with us

 

edit: former burnley youngster 👀  26 y/o centre back with decent championship experience. 2 ireland caps.

Jimmy Dunne has plenty of experience in the championship and is still at a decent age - Would be a good signing.

Do you think the owners even know who’s in the team?  

 

Unlikely. They've probably never heard of Wharton either. They may not even know there's an offer in for him. But they understand £20 million. And they'll thank their favourite son Steve Waggott on a job well done

QPR fans don't think so.

His commitment is questionable at the best of times. Knowing he's off somewhere else in a life-changing move and an injury might jeopardise it, there's little point picking him

Unless they have been told that he is /will be worth 50 million…

Where is @RoversCanada when you need him!

The levels of delusion on the let comments section is staggering

Fairly sure LET comments is 50% club plants and 50% genuine mental illness

[roversfan99]

Jimmy Dunne is shite. Avoid.

And nothing to do with playing for Burnley.

Not sure about JDT being exactly like them, GB though 🤔

If Wharton is sold at c.£20m it proves the model of buying, developing young talent selling high works.

In my view for it to work properly at least 20% of that has to be re invested into the team.

Sure 50% is the absolute minimum?? 20% wouldn't be a model, it would be self sabotage!

Palace could be appealing. A bit pay rise, probably a better shot at regular football playing along other young talents like Eze, Olise and Guehi, as opposed to a club whose owners have long since deserted us as we tread water in the second tier.

Yeah - if I was him going to somewhere where he knows he will play is better than a bigger club where hes lucky to make the bench and finds himself back on loan in the Championship in a couple of seasons.

Frustrated is a very suitable word to use when talking about Sam Gallagher

[Old Codger]

Come on Rovers (i.e. FWaggot and Baldy enthusiastic guy) get a wiggle on and do some sodding deals. How hard can it be to pick up the phone, tell them what you want (for outgoings) what you'll pay (for incomings) and let them speak?

Get a move on. It is the end of January next week.

If someone (Ipswich for example) wants one of our players, write the number on a piece of paper, then read out what it says - whilst speaking to your counterpart at the Ipswich / Palace end upon the tellingtonphone. Then send them a WhatsApp pic of your genitals, followed by a dark message that there will be more of that sort of thing if they don't get their fingers out. Should move things on nicely.

For incoming players, it works like this. You ask your well connected scouting network to identify some options. You pick up the phone to their current club and tell them that if they don't sell said option(s) to us for a knock-down-knacker price in the next nano-second, their WhatsApp accounts will be receiving unphotoshopped and very graphic anatomical offerings in large volume and high digital fidelity, until they see sense and let us have their player for thruppence ha'penny.

Sorted.

Sorry for the lesson in how to do business like a football god. I'm just a bit bored with all this waiting around for something to happen 😞

just sell him and get what we can,apart from running about a lot he does`nt offer anything else,he has zero striker instinct

[BankEnd Rover]

In the grand scheme of things we need Gallagher right now. But I  can’t believe we will be letting him go on a free, when we’re snubbing 1/1.5m away.

[CambridgeRover]

Sell gallagher. We dont need him.
