Szmodics replacement he will be I imagine.

Can see Garrett replacement being Fleck.

 

Similarly to McFadz, I don't hate the idea of resigning him if he's on a very low risk contract. But I do hate the idea of him being signed as a likely starter.

Can we take a minute to acknowledge our new club secretary who clearly knows how to use the fax machine 😂

Not alone I agree ,i think he will become a good midfielder at championship level.

A loan playing every week is what he needs 

How many games has Fleck played in the last 3 years?

31 games in 3 seasons.

Happy that Garrett is getting a loan to Bristol Rovers. It’s a decent level for him to play regular football and a good club to play for 👍🏻

Nice.

Is that Garretts replacement?

I shouldn't think so. Described on Wiki as a forward/attacking midfielder. Think he plays more in the latter role. Probably he and Ohashi are seen as replacing Szmodics. Which, obviously you'd expect neither of them truly will.

Weimann's best season though was in 2021/22 when he scored 22 goals in the Championship for Bristol C. Scored 6 the next, and 4 this season. Dunno if that's because his role changed or age kicked in.

Please don't let Fleck be seen as a Garrett replacement. Garrett is usually available, which makes him a good squad player to have. Fleck is the opposite.

Glad he’s still playing for Rovers in blue and white!

[Inferi]

Fleck was a panic signing. Horrific injury history and looked unfit even before his body broke down the last time. He won't be a regular starter anywhere because he will be out injured. I cannot imagine Eustace wants him back. Maybe he didn't want to rule out Fleck returning because that would be a bad look if the club decided to crawl back to Fleck with an offer.

[islander200]

That's if it is Bristol Rovers Garrett going too.

O'Rourke has been wrong loads this summer 

Yesterday evening he tweeted that Steve Bruce will be the new Jamaica head coach an hour later McClaren was appointed

He played quite a few matches for us last season. I worry we haven’t got the depth in squad to be sending out players like Garrett who performed a service.

hope to be proved wrong but we are looking pretty thred bare atm

Oap rovers, we need more legs

How many games did he start?No good for Garrett getting 20 minutes here and there he needs to go on loan and play regularly.

Cm options Travis ,Buckley ,Tronstad and Costello, rumours another one coming in.Garrett be way down the pecking other

O’Rourke has got worse over the years! I’d take more notice of Nixon and that’s saying something.

[Rover8T4]

After watching Fadz video I just hope to god that Eustace hasn't gave his word to Fleck

I'd love to be in the JDT / Broughton group chat.

The bloke they wanted last year, and were told no because he's too old, is now in. Genuinely an absolute joke.

That's just pathetic. 

They want praise for signing a 34 year old that they failed to sign last summer and spent most of the season warming the bench! Fck off.

He was mostly an unused sub. He needs consistent first team football or his development is going to stagnate.

[JHRover]

One glance at the Facebook and Twitter replies to these signings is enough to want me to question my own sanity.

I am so grateful that at least on here there are people of sound mind.

Since our current financial position appears to be similar to that of Oyston's Blackpool and we are now operating a model requiring a departure before an incoming can be approved letting Garrett go out on loan is a sensible move.

Sensible in the scheme of things because one look at the squad demonstrates we do not have the required depth to be loaning people out. But better than selling off an established player again.

There's nothing to make up. The Fans Forum notes already show that Eustace and his team are looking for a GK

There's a difference looking for a starter or  a back up. Either way we need one or tother.

This transfer window looking more and more like a cobble together of desperado cheap deals while our earners and survival chances are shipped out

[pick32]

If we are cost cutting adding old championship experience for the relegation fight is a solid plan.
