Exiled_Rover Posted January 20 Posted January 20 32 minutes ago, rossyste said: I am told by a friend of mine who works in a back office role at Fulham that we have been asking (with several others) about the availability of Martial Gobo. Apparently we enquired in the summer and were knocked back but he has since signed a new long term contract and can go out on loan only. I have no idea which of our lists he appears on (if any) and had never heard of the lad until about an hour ago ! Please don't shoot the messenger He was lined up to sign for us on loan in the summer, but they couldn't get the Nelson deal over the line in time (they eventually signed him) so held onto Godo just in case.

Exiled_Rover Posted January 20 Posted January 20 1 hour ago, Ghost7 said: The lack of money being spent and ambition shown is absolutely tragic. The talk about "having to let people go to buy" is terrifying. O'Riordan, McFadzean, Garrett, Markanday. I bet their wages don't even cover one of the Leeds' players wages, yet we're we have to shift them on to create any wiggle room. 1 Quote

... Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) 1 hour ago, Crimpshrine said: In terms of opportunity to spend in this window, Rovers could match Sheff Utd if the owners wanted to. Our owners are unimaginably wealthy, we have a massive FFP opportunity right now which will soon dwindle away due to the rolling 3 year rule. We could buy 5 really good players this window and be within the allowed spending limit for the current FFP period. It's not a matter of having more cash it's a matter of having more ambition/interest/willingness/love for the club. It's all its ever come down to. Love of the club and love of the people that spend their hard earned cash getting there. Edited January 20 by ... Quote

cesus Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) Andy Bayes has confirmed on twitter as expected Mcfadzean is talking to another club. Garrett and O'Riodran will be going back out on loan. Obviously as even more expected he said nothing about incomings. Edited January 20 by cesus Quote
chaddyrovers Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 4 hours ago, Emerald Isle Rover said: There’s actually 4/5 players at Oxford I’d happily take without question so not sure why you keep referencing ‘newly promoted Oxford’ that’s irrelevant agreed here, I would have taken Dembele, Placheta, Goodrham and Brannagan 3 hours ago, JHRover said: It was January 2023 that JDT realised that it wasn't on the agenda. JDT and GB couldn't get Undav over the line and didn't have a back up plan. 3 hours ago, JHRover said: As for Dembele / Oxford I am of the view that Oxford is now a more attractive prospect for a potential player in terms of finances and professionalism. They will conduct themselves in a manner befitting of a Championship football club and will be paying wages commensurate with this level. The transfer committee wouldn't agree on Dembele signing here 1 hour ago, roversfan99 said: Lewis O'Brien has essentially been dismissed in the LT with the usual line of "prioritising the budget for a striker and winger." It cant be either or. A normal club with an ounce of ambition looks at it and the owners release more funds for an extra midfield signing knowing that the landscape has changed with Tronstad now injured and Baker having returned. Not here. It cant be either attackers or midfield. Even if we sign attacking reinforcements, such a strong part of our team has been massively damaged. But just make do with a Plymouth reserve. how many more signings cos we make when we have only so many spaces within the 25 man squad rules? the squad already Pears, Toth, Hilton Brittain, Hyam, Carter, Sanderson, Batth, Pickering, Beck, Wharton(do we include him?) Forshaw, Travis, Tronstad, JRC, Buckley Hedges, Dolan, Cantwell, ACD, Weimann, Sigurdsson, Gueye, Ohashi, Leonard(doesn't have to be register) So that's 23 players so unless we sell Sigurdsson or someone else leaves? its max of 2 signings unless its a permanent signing under 21 signing. 1 hour ago, davulsukur said: I know Sheff Utd have a lot more cash than us but what a difference in approach. "We want 5, I expect 5 in" JE "I dunno what's happening but I'm sure the recruitment team are working on it" Cos they have just been takeover by new owners and have the money from the parachute payments. They are about to sign right back Kenny on 4 and half year contract Quote

chaddyrovers Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 John Eustace is 'hopeful' Sondre Tronstad's hamstring injury won't be serious but Blackburn Rovers are still awaiting the full results from his scan. The midfielder was an early casualty against Oxford United and lasted only half an hour. With Lewis Travis still out, Rovers fans have been fearing the worst. The head coach will not be able to give an exact timeframe until after the game on Tuesday night with the club still waiting on the official results. "Obviously, Sonny came off on Saturday. We're still waiting on the results of his scan," Eustace said. "He won't be involved, you know, certainly tomorrow. So we'll have to wait and see. We haven't got any fresh issues, that I can think of. "I'd like to say a couple of weeks, but I couldn't tell you. Usually they're about six weeks, aren't they? We'll just have to wait and see. I can't give a time frame on it until I get the results." Blackburn Rovers update on Tronstad injury and three others | Lancashire Telegraph Quote

Moderation Lead Popular Post K-Hod Posted January 20 Moderation Lead Popular Post Posted January 20 We've sold plenty of our best players and brought in loads of transfer fees over the last 18 months. We've no excuse for at least trying for promotion and bringing in quality players to improve our squad. However, I don't expect any of that to happen, because we've been here a few times before and we collapse, because we've no depth in the squad. As I've said time and again, it makes you wonder what the point is. I don't expect us to get promoted, but I expect us to try. 11 Quote

Emerald Isle Rover Posted January 20 Posted January 20 So to be clear in his responses I think there’s been a bid for one player, I don’t know how that’s turned out wow - that sentence alone should ring some serious alarm bells to him and fans alike 5 Quote
