Really annoying that our recruitment team (whilst doing an otherwise sterling job on a shoestring) can't seem to get things over the line in time and wait until the very end of the window to do business.

But you don't take into account that the team selling or loaning the player won't do so until they want to.

Assume you've watched the same 10 minute highlights tape we all have?

He's not Mbappe, but he's clearly quick - players stand off him. Nobody stands off Dolan. He also takes it past players, something Dolan can't do at this level.

It's a very intriguing signing, if it comes off. 

This one?

Not sure which one of those highlights says he's got pace

He's also not being hyperbolic, I've had people strike up conversations in BP when I'm wearing my Rovers shirt as they're surprised to see it.

Some exceptional saves in that reel

Great song too!

He does look to have a strong hand which is good. 

One of my pet peeves with Pears is that he's always palming it back down into the six yard box.

Not surprised, Got hands like shovels

Still no official word on Cantwell then.

The timing of the derby game is unfortunate.

Baby Saka looks incredible.

 

On the basis that lot down the road are in turmoil, the timing couldn't be any better...

He's another right footed winger - too similar to Dolan. Doesn't look particularly quick on those clips. 

 

Hopefully there is someone better out there.

Just watch the Man U portion - Darlot hangs back and jockeys him, he clearly respects Godo's ability to take it past him.

Interesting. Seems to play a little simpler than Dolan and carries the ball well, but agreed, he’s not lightning and does cut infield a bit too often. I do think he looks quicker than Dolan at top speed in this video, though.

Apologies if this has been posted already, but Cozier-Duberry looks to be an absolute fucking baller.

This is his recent season highlights with Arsenal:

So excited by this one.

Well done Rovers.

[Emerald Isle Rover]

Isn’t it amazing how we have so many on the forum here that have now turned into super scouts based on YouTube clips 

yous are wasted folks

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I gave up on judging players on YouTube after Carlos Villanueva. He looked better than Messi and Ronaldo combined.

Amario Cozier-Duberry signs.

Good job because he's just signed.

He looks like a gem (against youth teams)! Hopefully those skills translate well to senior football

[Trinidad Rover]

Credit where it’s due - that is a sensational signing.

Didn't Sky Sports News end up reporting that he could run the 100 meters in under 10 seconds just because someone on here made it up?

Is Ayari on his way back or am I cracking up? 

The WhatsApp chat had Van Hecke, Ayari and Moran in (I'm sure there's another Brighton loanee I've missed [Khadra?]), indicating that we've signed another Brighton loanee.

Must say I am kinda amazed by these signings compared to what I was expecting. Those expectations were low and rightly so, but in some way they are already exceeded. Is this some kind of excitement I’m feeling or just another red herring? Time will tell, but more bodies in won’t hurt. Better to gamble than give up before a ball is kicked.

Great signing! Cantwell and pacy left winger to go.
