The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)

[Paul Mani]

SS medical in the morning. Fee agreed.

[booth]

I think we're fucked without him and the money will purchase a goalkeeper and not much else.

I very much hope to be proven wrong.

[davulsukur]

Real shame about Szmodics. 

Without an adequate replacement, we'll struggle.

Needs to be some reinvestment into the squad.

Looks to have already done his media duties with Ipswich.

I say that’s Kalvin Phillips.

[Polky]

He deserves the move, just hope we’ve squeezed Ipswich for every penny.

[booth]

On a different note, can anyone else remember Peterborough fans saying he's not that good?

What a bunch of absolute tits.

[CambridgeRover]

Good luck Sammie.

Will we see any of the money? Only need to wait for the court case to find out

I think you’re right, hence the post being hidden 😂

[Emerald Isle Rover]

Sad to see him go but cannot deny he deserves a crack in the prem so he goes with my best wishes. Also glad it hasn’t dragged out to deadline day lets see how we fare come the next fortnight

What the fee been agreed?

Those certainly look like tattooed arms. Did you follow him to Ipswich?

[imy9]

One of my favourite players of recent years. Not the best technical player I’ve seen, nor the quickest but what he had in spades was the ability to make us believe and that determination on the pitch.

i wish you well and will be forever grateful for saving us last year, you deserve a shot at the big time and I will be rooting for you to do well.

It will be undisclosed as usual 

[islander200]

Hope they met the fee we wanted rather than us getting bent over 

Gutted.Huge loss

Think anyone with a degree of knowledge about body language would suggest he looked a tad pissed off as he trudged off the pitch when subbed at Stockport and certainly not because he'd been subbed!

Not for me. He wanted his hat trick and another goal. Who can blame him? That's what a goalscorer wants

Christ alive.  Results are looking decent enough let's turn the taps off.  There's a risk we get playoffs if we improve too far.

who says the taps are off?

Dolan has been earmarked for that position by Eustace. 

Now need 4 or 5 signings in in the next 15 days.

You are making him sounds like the club's retired mascot

Sammie gone according to SSN, medical in the morning.

I see three scenarios playing out:

1) Venkys win their court case on Tuesday and - subject to still being interested in doing so - begin to fund the club again. That will mean we will have the Szmodics money and potentially the Raya money to spend this window. 

2) Venkys have their case pushed back again and the Szmodics money is banked to cover running costs until January

3) Venkys lose the court case, the Szmodics money is used to cover loses whilst a buyer is fou

I'll take number 3 please.

Totally agree. 

Szmodics is one of my favourite Rovers player ever

I don’t have time to follow him to Ipswich, I would rather post on here all day instead 😉 

[BankEnd Rover]

Thanks for the unbelievable memories, this one hurts a lot more than our past players.

We need incomings and fast, a few permanents will do nicely.

[SpaceBarSlam]

Knew it was coming, but hard not to hold on to that bit of hope with him coming on and then starting for us. 

One positive is that we've started the season with other players popping up with goals and chances. That wasn't the case at the end of last season when it felt like we were dependent on Sammy for every single goal. 

He deserves his crack at the PL, a dream for every footballer. Wish him all the best.

As it should be. Priorities. 

[MB Rover]

Two weeks to save our season

[Upside Down]

No announcement on what the fee is?

Probably undisclosed to hide the fact Rovers will have no doubt caved in for a low ball offer.
