[Angry_Pirate]

Our first ever Sierre Leonean? 

And potentially Egyptian, for that matter?

A bid we knew full well would be rejected…. But hey look we tried! 

I hope the board are “acutely aware” that we see through their BS

Being linked with anyone and everyone at the moment. Taking that link with a pinch of salt, but wouldn’t be surprised that we bid substantially lower than everyone else 😂

[roverandout]

Rather spent nothing and venkys fucked off

[Tugayisgod]

So, if Kargbo presumably is one of the two signings the manager says is close, who is the other ? 🤷‍♂️

[Forever Blue]

When did the manager say 2 signings are close?

edit: just read it in LT…. Sounds more like hope than expectation

Will BRFCS management be having a sit down interview with Jackson or Andy Bayes to explain the downtime?

“We’re investing heavily in infrastructure it’s just not the best time to upgrade as everyone’s looking for January sale bargains but we’ve put in a bid to loan a server from a French 3rd Division fan site & all being well it should be couriered to us by Monday…No further comment at this time…”

I have a feeling when he gets here and he's up against better players than he has been playing against in Serie B/C, we'll find out that he's not that quick after all.

Fully expecting him to be a bit part player for the rest of this season, and a bit of a dud in all honesty.

Expand  

Whilst all entitled to our opinions I think this is a tad harsh 

maybe he will be better playing with better players and a better coach? A more open game here in the championship maybe than the Italians who like to defend a lot 

look with our money that they are choosing not to spend we should be after better but writing him off before a ball is kicked is unfair

Ah, but you are forgetting, Rovers always pay the full fee up front, everyone else will only be offering to them in installments, so they may have accepted the €4M 😉

Guebbels? Sounds like more club propaganda to me 

[Polky]

Boro getting £22.5m for Latte Lath, I wonder if they’ll re-invest the fee or scrape around France and Belgium for cheap deals?

So he's scored a few in the Swiss league, but £3.3m when we're supposedly skint?

And we wouldn't spend roughly the same for Aasgaard.

[Ghost7]

Rovers also getting totally sidetracked at how piss poor the central midfield backup is, and a potential left back crisis.

Needed a lot more agreed before now.

👍

They've probably already spent the majority of it on their flurry of activity last week.

That's what you do when you've got a serious and ambitious owner who accepts there is a need to sell from time to time but will do his best to respond to that by reinvesting and backing his manager with proper signings at a crucial stage of the season.

Might work, might not, but at least they've tried.

Scratching around for cheap loans and foreign punts a month after we needed immediate reinforcements with proven quality as identified by our manager sums it up.

What’s the point here? We’re after a striker and a winger 

aasgard looks a player but wasn’t a position we were desperate for

That’s exactly it spending doesn’t automatically equal success some signings could be bust 

but at least you have tried and at least the fans know you have tried

They can’t, as it is paid in installments.
