Eustace asking for two or three really good names. Maybe Gestede is taking that too literally with Augustus Kargbo and Benjamin Kimpioka…

It’s akin to me asking Maya Jama out for a drink.
She probs wouldn’t fancy it, but it’s nice to have dreams.

[chaddyrovers]

Time for Gestede to delivered 3 quality signings now before the deadline and ideally at least 1/2 before the PNE game. 

I think the criticism of Forshaw signing is OTT and people angry shouldn't be aimed at him at all. He is steady player and We aren't going to be able to sign similar quality and type of player that Tronstad and Travis are.

Who actually owns him these days? More clubs than Nick Faldo that lad. 

Boro now

He's scored 3 goals this season (no assists) and they bought him for nearly £3m in the summer.

Not the brightest is he, Dunn. 

He is only 21 years old and years away from his peak. Dunn's point was Rovers lack of pace in the final third and what we need.

Can see why he didnt last long as a manager.

Dunn's point was the pace Sinclair-Armstrong has and what we lack in attack which is a very similar point to yours about pace in the final third

If we want pace and zero footballing ability surely our recruitment should go to athletics. Hes a donkey.

No one said we could get someone on par with Travis and Tronstad. Like with Baker, there will be a downgrade. But he was a Championship standard, decent downgrade. Its the level of the downgrade to Forshaw that is the issue.

We’re currently 17 points off the top and 15 points off relegation.

F*ck you Venkys, Waggot and Pasha. I hate you with every inch of my soul. You have once again f**ked our season by refusing to spend money whilst we watch winnable games drift by. We needed difference maker players in during the first 2 weeks of Jan instead we've lost 3 on the bounce to relatively crap teams.

Get out of our club you utter cretins.

My go to is always Katherine Langford, but each to their own.

If he was donkey would he really be playing football at Championship level. Your comments against players is laughable. Similar to Wallace being past it but today he played up front and scored. Not bad for has-been is it? 

Dunn's point was about lack of pace in the final third. which you agree with?

We are talking about a back up squad player not a regular starter or key player. 

[neophox]

I think we all know why Broughton left....because he was fooled by Maggot and Pasha!! VENKYS OUT!!

He was sacked, wasn't he? Mainly because he tried to go behind their backs and sign players. 

[sharpysharps86]

Wonder what this weekends Nicko story will be...

Probably emphasising the Kargbo link I suppose.

[Bohinen1983]

Eustace is performing miracles. Squad's paper-thin, ravaged with injuries and even before that is pretty shite.  We have no pace, no creativity and no (frequent) goal scorer.    The squad at present, is relegation fodder.  We need to spend a good 10-15m to get some assets onto the books and make us competitive.  It's not happening..   Wish Venkys would sod off.

I agree with everything but the last part.

You don't need to spend £10m-15m, but you do need to scout carefully. We could easily sign 5 or 6 of the top young players in L1, L2 and Scotland if we were proactive. 

[Norbert Rassragr]

If only we signed some Jamie Vardy type from Solihull Moors or wherever. We'll go down next season for sure.

All depends on how well we perform in the first half of the season.

We all know what happens from January onwards.

I know we are talking about a squad player.

My point is pretty clear. Wont be able to get quite as good as the main 2. But its not a case of, well we cant get someone is good so it doesnt matter how bad he is. Baker was reasonable cover, not as good as the main 2 but still a solid player. Forshaw is not good enough to provide reasonable cover.

Had we signed Jason Lowe for the role, you could still use your argument. As if you are saying, it doesnt matter how bad he is, we arent going to get as good as Tronstad or Travis and hes a squad player so why does it matter.

Why can’t we sign similar quality to travis and tronstad? They aren’t xavi and iniesta.

From memory Tronstad was a well scouted free agent from a middling Dutch league team. 

 

As much as Gregg got a lot of grief (in part for how corporate he was) he was head and shoulders above Gestede.  Have we renewed a contract under the current DoF?

No, we haven't. Gestede is proving himself to be a liability and just another chancer. We're back to running contracts down and letting players go for nothing it seems.

Few on here were delighted when Gestede came in, by the looks of it solely due to scoring a few second tier goals here a decade ago.

You say it like they were on the interview panel. This is Venkys Blackburn Rovers you, I or no other fan has a say.
