Ha good point! Guess Oddschecker have a bug... looks like Rovers are 4th favorites for the drop.

They must have a bug - there were odds for Reading too.

Wouldn't mind this deal at all. 1year contract with an option

Interesting, always thought he was a decent enough player, certainly at this level.

Be Interesting to see if he gets a deal.

Alongside Gueye, Ohashi and an out and out winger with pace,  I would be fairly happy (in terms of forwards brought in).  Which I did not think I would be saying a week ago.

Obviously all gambles, but we are where we are

So I reckon Gueye is straight swap for Gallagher and Ohashi for Sam Szmodics. So good we have found replacements but we are ultimately standing still at best.

We still need 1 x CF, 1 x AM, 1x winger, 1 x CM, 1 x CB, 1 x GK....

Yuki is seen as a straight swap for Telalovic by Eustace, as reported by Jackson on his latest podcast. 
 

Eustace admitted the other day that he hadn’t seen much of Yuki. Eustace also said he appears to be a No9
 

Yuki is obviously a gamble for a small fee they are hoping pays off. Maybe he will be the SS replacement in the end but it doesn’t seem to be how Eustace sees it.

I suppose it depends on if Eustace sees Szmodics as a 9 or 10?  Given how he has set up since arriving in February, arguments could be made either way. 

It may also be a case of Eustace being slightly economical with the truth as he is not wanting to put too much pressure on Ohasi having to replace our main man

Cracking player is Weiman is he’s still sharp and his legs haven’t gone.

I realise this is a highlight reel so by definition it's only showing the goals/good attempts but it's good to see he attacks the ball in the 6 yard box

I’m just going off what he said, which is that he is Telalovic replacement

Only issue is we will have loads of No.10's.

Markanday, Sigurdsson, Ohashi, Weimann.

No point in having 4 and then you can chuck Gilsenan in there as well.

Did Weimann not once do well as a wingback one year?  Probably doesn't have the legs for it anymore

Weimann more of a versatile forward for me than a number 10, Gilsenan more of a wide forward (when fit).  Sigurdssons fitness continues to be an issue, then we are down to 2

He is 33 in a week, surely not a good idea

What if the choice was between him and fleck?

[roversfan99]

Weimann is not the player he once was and he is reliant on energy which may well be fading as time catches up on him but he is a useful player to have in the squad because he can pop up with a goal.

I dont see why we are pissing around with trials so late in pre season. Just give him a years contract.

Be another player that doesn't score against us next season

My issue is not with Wiemann as a signing (as versatile back up), but Wiemann at wing back,

Fleck is a no, no matter where he would play

Will we play with wide forwards? Always sounded like JE wanted wingers?

Useful to have a Plan B

Edit - Under Venkys we often have not even have a Plan A, so it is very novel to have an option 😉

This all reminds me of the 80s when we used to pick up the likes of Duxbury and Moran on freebies at the end of their careers.

Its making me quite nostalgic 🥲

If the deals get done we could potentially have Gueye, Vale, Tyjon, Ohashi, Markanday, Dolan, weimann, Arnor For 9 and 10 roles. Another no9 is needed. Can see 1-2 of these names moving on

Tbf he has been playing as a wing back(?) I'm pretty sure the last few years? Much better as a winger/striker.

Found it odd he hasn't been selected to play up top of on the wing
