January Transfer window

[Mercer]

Atm, a totally underwhelming window.

Sanderson - presumably a Eustace pick so I'll give him a chance.

Forshaw - IMO, a feckin dog of a signing with Gestede's finger prints all over it.

Kargbo - judging by Eustace's comments, not one of his ("the club").  Serie C and a 2.5 year deal has the alarm bells screaming.

IMO, what a feckin mess of a window.  Eustace and the fans deserve much, much better

I thought Kargbo was Serie B before we signed him?

Another short sighted side, using an incoming transfer fee all at once to strengthen instead of using it to keep the meter running.  Do they not realise that they will only receive the money for Esse in installments FFS!

Glad we are not run by such reckless individuals 😉 

Obviously haven't heard of FFP!

[dallydally]

You heard it here first. Kargbo - the new Mo Salah!! 🤣

Anyone on Nixon patron? What striker are we losing? 
 

someone posted now. Didn’t Nixon say we were after a striker? By the sounds of that we might only be after one now because Leonard is injured?

Seems like hes just trying to create an interesting story.

We needed a striker before, we still need a striker.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Step up the striker search? They've been 'stepping it up' for 2 years.

It's almost as if they are telling us one thing,  but had no intention of doing it.  Surely not?

So basically we aren't even looking at a striker only on the off chance Leonard is injured.  What a bunch of cretins

[TommyRovers]

I feel for Harry if his back has gone again. Another long period out.

Got a lot of potential but just hampered with bad injuries.

Half a season in Serie B this season, 2 seasons in Serie C before that.

Hopefully he's quick, because I don't see him offering much else.

Need another striker regardless of Leonard , he’s nowhere near good enough (doubt he ever will be) for the championship and he’s 21. He should have had 2-3 decent loans by now but that’s on the club mismanagement. 

[Rover1984]

Gutting news for Leonard if it’s the same injury. More pressure on swag and co to deliver and I am not confident in them one bit

It's not the club's fault if he can't be loaned out because he's injured.

I hope he can endure the physicality of this division, as Ohashi has done. And he will obviously have to track back and be diciplined in the press, but I'm sure they'll get him up to pace quickly enough. Dolan is a weird player, he can definitely make things happen but also rushes out in the press and gets beaten easily, and so many poor decisions so must be frustrating to play with.

Dolan frustrates the life out of me. He can never just take a touch and pass. Always has to take 3 or 4 touches and try the ‘Hollywood’ pass. If I was his manager I’d make him play two touch for a month and fine him every time he went over it….🤣

On Kargbo, there’s lots of questions coming from Serie B and no guarantees of anything, but I don’t think we’re going to see in show boating from him. Get it, pop it off and get on your bike!!

[roverstdt]

tough on Leonard I actually like him. Did very well under JDT. Feels like injuries are getting the better of him at the moment 

[roversfan99]

We also shouldnt be at the point of stepping up our striker push with 2 and a half days left. Any target should be getting to the very final stages.

What happened to the second player we are close to?

Dumbing it down for more than 2 years...

Kargo doesn't seem like he has a step over in him. Looks like a player to lump it round the full back and leg it 😂.

Tbf, even with Leonard fit, we need a striker.
Nixon just wants some attention again.

[unleaded]

 

From Egyptian sources, the former Galatasaray player would have received several concrete offers. Last in Serie A, Monza would be one of them. Just like Leganes in Spain & Blackburn Rovers in the Championship…. On the other hand, while some rumors evoke the possibility of a return of Mostafa Mohamed to his country of origin in Al Ahly or Zamalek, this is not the case. FC Nantes are looking for his replacement and will decide where the player transfers to ….. FC Nantes will not agree to his departure if a new striker is not brought in…..

If that’s the competition then we stand a good chance…. 

What a signing this would be !! 

Hibs Expecting Rovers to return with a new Bid for Elie Youan ….Unlucky for them their are only 3 days left as snails 🐌 move faster ….

Cissoko came & went back to France …..

Heard anything on Siggy going out? All seems odd that Eustace said a few weeks ago he was back for end of Jan. Now we're hearing he's another 3/4 weeks off...Could really do with getting a fee where possible and clearing him off the books! 

[roversfan99]

We cant be amidst a chasing pack of teams waiting around for a potential loan on the assumption that his current club sign someone. We know how that will end.
