LOL Eustace is taking this 'experience' suggestion a bit far. Everyone is bloody 30. 

That's the second CB we've been linked to though, which suggests Carter isn't coming back this season. 

Only 29!

What's happened to Holding? Wiki says 1 Premier League appearance this season for Palace? Seems a come down from being reasonably regular for Arsenal.

That was last season.

Hasn't played a competitive game for over 16 months now, so no idea as he's not injured as he's played a couple of times in the PL2.

January 2017, faced with catastrophic (albeit self inflicted) relegation to the third division, sign only Lucas Joao on loan from fellow Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. Outcome? Relegation.

We made 3 signings for a fee in the 2023 season for a total of £1.45m. Wahlstedt, Nail Ennis and Telalovic. The rest were free.  We sold: Adam Wharton - £17.4m, Thomas Kaminski £2.4m, Ashley

Can we please take a moment to remember that someone at Rovers, whether it be chief scout or at board level identified, approved and signed John Fleck last January, who had an erroneous metal plate in

21-22 under Mowbray, played just ahead of Rothwell and Travis.

He had a good season, had a real knack of winning the ball high up the pitch and feeding the likes of Rothwell, Diaz, Dolan, Khadra. One or two games too where he was gliding past people for fun.

Since the end of that season, barring a 5/6 game run under JDT in Feb/March 23 where he was looking good again before he picked up his season ending injury he just hasn't got going again.

I still think that’s his best position.

Edit misread it - that seems to be an u21 appearance. No senior appearances in 2023-4 or 2024-5?

Injury?

He had a falling out with their manager according to the media

Very odd.

One to avoid I'd say as with Kent who has a similar sort of lack of game time.

Of course if we can pick up someone who's fallen completely of the radar using this sort of Moneyball approach all well and good but it's a huge gamble.

Apparently his doctors have advised he's not allowed to head the ball anymore after his hair transplant but he's adamant he will only play in defence which has obviously limited his opportunities for playing time

No doubt we are still incredibly following the one out one in cheap policy.

Likely result - missing out on players as we wait to sell ours, and the squad doesn't gain the required depth by the end of the window.

Keep up the excellent work Steve, or prove us wrong you total plodder.

The Scandinavian leagues suit him, don't think he's cut out for English/championship football, even though he has some ability. 
 

Just goes to show the rumours were true and that he's probably never been injured...Just downed tools.

He's cut out for the Swedish league because it's a level or three below the Championship. He has shown glimpses here, but too many injuries and has struggled to nail down a spot here. Good finisher but that's about it.

In the box I'd have him, probably, over any player we have. But anything else, he's very very poor.

Bet we're desperate to get him off the wage bill.

Oh absolutely.

Unlike any of our incoming signings, they'd have his departure wrapped up and finalised in less than an hour.

Always pisses me off that - we're the best Club on the planet at selling players, then we suddenly become an absolute circus when it comes to incoming signings.

Cantwell is reportedly on 25k - 30k p.w?

Not sure he is on that much here, he was apparently on that amount at Rangers but would imagine he would be on circa £20K/week here.  He wanted out and to rehabilitate his career

Sigurdsson on £18K ish per week sounds about right, he had a decent reputation and moved to Rovers on a free (which normally means the lack of a fee benefits the player in either signing on fee or wages)

I said the other week that if we were to take their word for it and believe that there is already money available to strengthen (there bloody well should be even if you ignore huge sales - see increased media deals, bumper gates, no FFP restrictions) then we should not be relying or waiting on a departure such as Sigurdsson before making a move.

Sigurdsson's wage should be divided by 3 or 4 and added to the wages of Travis, Tronstadt, Carter and maybe another to ensure they commit to long term contract extensions.

It should not be funding 2-3 short term loans or temporary squad fixes.
