Meanwhile Mvogo is available for a fair price, it is claimed. This is due to having a mere year remaining on his existing contract with the Stade du Moustoir side.
 

apparently Leicester interested, but struggling with selling Iversen who is supposed to be valued at 1.5m which both Derby and Sheffield U find too high. 

£1.5m for Iversen would be a steal, cracking keeper.

At the bottom of the sig one, Buckley could move on permanently 

I think Siggurdson would love QPR or PAOK but a pity that he has shown next to nothing in a blue and white shirt.

[MarkBRFC]

Mvogo absolutely no chance he's coming here.

Sigurdsson moving on makes sense to me.

Buckley however makes absolutely no sense, we're very light in midfield we can't be letting another go.

That Germain looks am interesting one, not a winger by looks of it but could help fill Szmodics departure.

[BankEnd Rover]

This germain chap isn’t quick, why are we looking at another OAP on the cheap for our last slot, we should be getting someone with pace.

All this doesn’t sound good to me, loosing these player and rat maggot will still only want 3 players…Fuck all will be spent and the way the szmodics saga is going on, we’ll have him for a few more weeks yet!

He's 29 same age as Szmodics hardly an OAP.

He's actually pretty quick is Germain, not lightning quick but for all the bluster about adding loads of pace I dont actually believe that we will.

[philipl]

This thread will get interesting when the PL loan deals start becoming available.

I don't know when Ipswich get their Premier League money, or how much of its in installments but I'm struggling to see them not paying the £500k to land Szmodics. It's peanuts to them either way now.

Bizarre that they would hold off on a deal, making him miss all their pre season as well as ours just for £500k.

[islander200]

Nixon repeating  its his belief that it  is £500k holding the Szmodic deal up , we want £9 million  guaranteed they have offered £8.5 ,will rise up with clauses such as goals scored,staying up and if they come down and get promoted again with Szmodic still with them 

[Paul Mani]

My gut feeling now is that we have the budget for a Keeper, Lb and a winger and 2 of those 3 will be loans.

Then, assuming Sammie goes we have Ryo lined up and if we move on Bucko and Siggy then they would be replaced. Can’t see us spending more than a couple of million.

[unleaded]

Will be interesting to see if Ryo Germain lines up today for his club today .. scored 15 in 20 games so far over taking Yuki Ohashi who scored 11 before travelling to the UK ….Think he’s a Brazilian / USA/ Japanese mix …Looks excellent with his head .. strong as an ox & holds the ball up well & is a Sharp harp in the box ….. Everyting Siggy isn’t……

He will.play because we are nowhere near close with it.

"Interested" is as far as it has gone.

I reckon we'll have 2 lists of targets. Nothing will be done until after 20th August though.

Szmodics to be sold and either we spend a bit, if the owners win the case.

Or, the Szmodics fee goes into running costs and we go for our B list, which is mainly free/cheap transfers or loans only, should they lose in court.

Edit: post wasn't written well.

Its looks Rovers are very busy at the minute chasing targets and trying to agree deals. Looks like we have moved on from Drommel now and chasing a UK based keeper target

Don’t understand how we can make Buckley leave. Who is going to cover for Trav and Tronstad? 

Probably won't go until we sign 2 players in cover for those 2. From how we play do we need a deep lay midfielder playmaker?

Got Brad Collins all over it, absent from the Cov squad yesterday.

I think it's nice to have a variety in midfield, do you really think we are going to sign 2 midfielders? I just don't see it.

Doesn’t strike me as a number 10 or a winger…If Leonard is on his way then makes sense to go for him…Personally wish we’d utilise our last foreign spot on a quick direct young prospect.

Keskinen would of ticked those boxes.

Im sure he said last week that Germain wouls be our 4th ESC player so he must have got that wrong. We need a pacy winger which Germain is not.

Sigurdsson can go but we dont have the depth without 2 signings to let Buckley go.

Based on what are we chasing a domestic target? Probably pensioner Ruddy.

Szmodics was our top scorer last season so they pay what we want or they don't sign him. Simple as that

Never mind our top scorer, he was THE top scorer.

Technically doesn't even matter, they are owned by a hedge fund and are loaded.  Ipswich were spending more on wages when they were in League 1 than Rovers were spending in the Championship.  The narrative of "plucky upstarts Ipswich" is fake news

Could possible be Collins, Played 28 games last season in the Championship for Coventry. 

We see in the next 19 days. Lets hope the fax machine doesn't get burn out 🤣

That's why we want to sell Sigurdsson so we have 2 spots open

We are interest in him and if he was to sign then he would be our 4th ESC player but we want to sell Sigurdsson so we have another free spot for another target from overseas. He hasn't say a name or position yet

Could be a range of potential targets.

Szmodics isn't quick either, don't get the point, also about same age as Sammie so hardly oap.

He would be a replacement if he goes, they will still be looking at wide players with pace I imagine.

Going to be a busy 3 weeks or so ...

If Wharton leaves for £100m ...do we really need to sell Szmodicz?
