Cantwell is the Szmodics successor - they'll play him in the #10 role.

well according to our friend Elliott Jackson Cantwell should be threw the doors next 🙂

Bit harsh to throw him THROUGH  the doors.

New GK describes himself as crazy.

Also, he's a "modern keeper", so likes to play the ball with his feet and has good reactions. 

No word on being decent on Crosses though.

Sorry for posting an opinion, I guess?

Forums are all about opinions and mine is that I’d trust proven scouts regarding players than us watching YouTube videos that only show highlights 

works both ways as mentioned before wonder kids tearing it up and end up not that good

Speaks good English, that’s a major plus. We just need to teach him a few of the finer points of communication with team mates now, like - “ Put it in row Z next time you dozy prick ! “

8 hours or so to get some meaningful signings over the line., the clock's ticking

 "Fuck sake, Dominic" should be in a Rovers English language handbook for all foreign arrivals.

That's the big problem, isn't it?

Really happy with Gueye, Ohashi and Cantwell (if it happens) as permanent signings - that completely changes the look of the attack and all have resale value, but we're back in the same position in 12 months time if we don't miraculously get promoted with the loans of this Brighton lad, potentially this Fulham lad, Beck etc. 

At least we signed a permanent GK (although personally that's the position I'd have gambled on and gone all out for a big time loan like Carl Rushworth), let's just hope he's any good. 

If you don't like us loaning players, why would you want us to loan a keeper ?

Least I won the bet I see you have now moved on to ‘meaningful signings’ when you said none would be through the door nice dodge lol

If they'd made a big signing with all the money they've made + these signings, maybe. Like for example Stansfield.

That would be a bigger statement of intent rather than Waggott's "top 10" finish goal.

Because we're desperate for proven quality there.

Goes without saying really, but yes absolutely. Nothing they do will ever change that, but I can at least be happy that the signings have been better this summer than the last 2.

[USABlue]

How many if you are like me, just waiting for the news to come out that the Cantwell deal is off.  Could not agree personal terms.  Just waiting for it.

So for clarity; we should only express opinions on players we may be looking to sign if we’re proven scouts? Noted, thanks for the clarification.

My in-possession game is one of my strengths, along with my shot-stopping. The manager wants me to play mixed football – really nice from the back, but also know if there are advantages further up the pitch that playing one ball into the final third is better.
rushworth quotes - doesn’t mention catching crosses either.

Venkys Out as always, but also really happy with signings we’ve made given the shit budget the shit owners have given the recruitment team.

I think it's more likely that this is their biggest marquee signing in a while and they are going to make a big deal out of promoting it.

It was more that our lad looked very suspect on Crosses in a few videos that were posted.

The only time you see a keeper catch a cross now is when it’s a bad one.
