It's funny isn't it?

I've been around the world and there's very few places nicer than the Ribble Valley in my opinion. 

The Dolomites are a poor man's Pendle Hill

We don't need a striker. Big Mac is the man, we need to make sure Hedges and Dolan never play again!

I'm all for it..Dolan makes me dizzy and all for nothing! 

Nothing like when he assisted the opener last night?

We 100% do need another striker 

[B16Rover]

Bi weekly suggestion to sign Jordi Jones from Notts County.  He'd get Gueye over 15 goals from his balls in and is better than Hedges

I can understand his position, he will be wanting Rovers to make him an offer but I think he will be keen on a Greek move, believe he loves the sunshine.

Get him out the Door asap...his best mate at Ewood is the Treatment Table.

Siggy refusing all deals from the looks of it … Most of Scandinavia & Greek clubs want him but looks like Rovers will have to sweeten his leaving package or else he will hang around which is not ideal …. Would free up big big wages …..
 

 

 

Although the bigger the leaving package, the less we free up.

But as Steve said ‘spending money doesn’t guarantee success’ when questioned on the transfer parsimony. 
 

That’s the kind of bullshit Eustace is up against. 

Spending money doesn’t guarantee success but clubs who succeed have nearly always spent money.

Perhaps someone could explain that to Waggott in words he’ll understand. 

[Rover1984]

One of those bad deals where we need to accept the losses and move him on. Might not save the money but it opens up another squad space.

If hes not going could just not bother registering Sigurdsson. He's out for another 4 weeks, then will need another month to get himself up to speed.

[roversfan99]

Bizarre that this is relevant but seems Monza are signing a striker.

Gutted for Harry Leonard if this true, I rated him highly

Forshaw isnt good enough. Annoying that a club with supposed play off aspirations is signing someone like that.

Its a 4th/5thchoice midfielder, who are you for that role?

Certainly havent written Kargbo off, he is a winger who hasnt done much above Serie C level. Its again not a signing most sides with play off aspirations but lets hope he is a hidden gem. Length of contract is a concern.

You are already making a judgement on what on what?

Have to remember the standard of defender hes playing against in those videos.

I cant see us signing another winger but we could do with one for the right hand side. I think a striker on loan, maybe a left back on loan if we are lucky and thats it.

so another 4 in?

Call his bluff, remove him from the squad list, make it clear he won’t play again this season.

You keep saying 4th or 5th choice. Baker was our 3rd choice so why when we have injuries in that position are we going for a 4th or 5th choice?

We are in a position to push for the play offs. It shows your standards that you are content with anybody just to make the numbers up. 

And ive commented on the standard of football hes come from and also the short contract offered. I have no opinion on him as an individual. But where we have got him from doesnt really fit in with a club desperate to improve to sustain a play off push. You were critical of the idea last week, like with Forshaw you are now wriggling around doing everything you can to defend the club.

Sadly I don't think he's fussed as long as he gets paid.

[Rover1984]

Just listened to Kargbo interview. Described himself as quick and explosive, always a good sign, fingers crossed he can show it in this squad that hasn’t got those traits. Hope he settles fast and the gamble pays off 

[Rover1984]

Cissoko to Sheffield Wednesday

I know he's having a decent season now but when Telalovic signed wasnt the rumour that he way near Olympic speed sprinter

2 million but option, we should be hijacking this

You’re almost certainly correct but he’d have to at least consider how his actions will look to any prospective employer.

Can we threaten to send him back to Russia? 😄

Kargbo a lot cheaper.

I don't see the hibs winger happening at all, I imagine it Kargo, Cissoko or him.

Think it was always one of Kargbo, Cissoko or Youan. 

Any money we have needs to go on a striker, with cover at lb and cm in an ideal world.

But this is Rovers...

[Nic81]

Did someone say that Tronstad wasn’t going to be out as long as expected or did I imagine it.
