Anything below 15m is really poor. Hoping for at least 18m. Wouldn’t mind obafemi being included.

Play the kids and see how they get on. Might be an important indicator of who can step up this season and be counted on. Kaminski pike Carter magloire cirino Garret Davenport Chapman butterworth Dolan mcbride

Excellent half. Midfield has been best I’ve seen it in a long time. Winning everything.

I’m not going to lie, as disruptive as venkys have been for the club, this message was particularly important and warming to hear. I think throughout the last couple of years venkys have shown tremendous backing towards the club, with big signings and particularly a very competitive budget last season during the pandemic showing their commitment to Rovers. As much as fans won’t want to hear this, we need them, their support and their willingness to fund the club. I have been extremely worried recently, with the back room staff exodus, lack of signings and lack of word from Venkys that we may of got to a point where they have given up. And that could of meant real trouble for us. However from this letter it is evident their engagement is still their, along with a surprising desire to attend a game this season. That would be a big step in mending the owner-fan base relationship. Let me be clear, I’am no fan of venkys. Nor are they free of blame for the state of the club right now (even though I think clesrly Waggot and TM derserve a lot of attention for where we are currently at). But this message, with the current context of the club, is relieving to hear.

Being linked to nial Huggins of leeds United. Under 23 player - left back. Would rather give cicinno(?) a chance personally.

Norwich media sources have confirmed there’s been no bid for Adam Armstrong, nor has idah been offered as he’s a player firmly in their plans. Cheers Nixon for selling us a dream of a deal. My bet is that Southampton will eventually sign him for about 15m. Anything less than 20 (or 15m plus obafemi or Idah on a perm) would be dissapointing.

Just saying - if you read the Norwich fan forums - they don’t actually want the deal to happen if it means losing Idah on a perm, they really rate him. Would take 15m plus Idah any day

Haven’t heard much about Idah but having done some reasons he sounds like a really shrewd piece of buisness if we can get him. Norwich fans perplexed about the idea of losing him on loan let alone on a perm. Sadly if this deal turns out to be a loan then the whole perception changes.

From what it sounds like the ings deal to Aston Villa has completely opened this up. Obviously it has pushed Southampton into a move, which in turn has forced clubs like palace and Norwich who were maybe hoping for a bargain near the end of the window into action. What id be happy with is 15-20m plus obafemi or preferably Idah on a PERM deal.

Kaminski nymabe Lenihan Carter Pickering Buckey Travis Rothwell Dolan Arma Diaz or Nymabe Carter Lenihan Magloire Pickering Buckley Travis Rothwell Arma Diaz These are the only two line ups that make sense IMO based of performances and match time during pre season. Don’t lose faith in the youngsters if they struggle at first, it will take them a couple of games to adjust to this level.

Personally, I have accepted our fate. The club needs a complete refresh from top to bottom, and for me that can only start with both Waggot and TM heading out the door. At this point I would rather not spend any money, have a season of struggle, gamble that we have enough to stay up (which I believe we will based on the starting 11 we can field) and provide our finances with a break. Furthermore this route will provide opportunities for our academy players to be blood through an hopefully establish themselves as key members of the squad. I think at the end of the season when his contract is up TM will go, and hopefully Waggot will follow. I half wonder if that’s why no funds are currently being provided, with Venkys perhaps losing their confidence in TM and his ability to spend, with them instead putting a halt to the spending for a season so next season, under a new manager, they can loosen things up again.

Can I just ask, if your currently out of the UK for this game can you still buy a one off match pass for the game? Or does it have to be a season pass?

Personally I’d quite like us to stick with the 3 at the back. It’s a formation which needs practice and patience though, however once got right it can work extremely well. Personally would quite like to see JRC in that wide right role when he’s back from injury, with nyambe as the right centre back. Him and magloire sweeping on the outside of Lenihan could be extremely effective.

He posted an Instagram story explained his absence which I would suggest clears him from being the player on the move. Plus TM loves him. it’ll be Rothwell or chapman imo.

A couple of seasons ago they were raving about him. In recent years that club as a whole has been in decline and sometimes players can see there standards dragged down with it. He’s a proven championship player who probably just needs that change of scene to get up and running again.

I imagine if there’s an outgoing it’ll be Armstrong as he is the only one properly linked with other club. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was Rothwell however I can’t ever remember a club actually being reportedly interested in him so would be quite out of the blue.

Right decisions tho. If he was tied to a long contract then he’s at least worth 25-30m when u compare him to players like Watkins. I’m really suprised a prem team hasn’t taken control of the situation and offered 20m. He’s easily worth that in the current market. Personally, I’d rather we keep him for another season, hope that his goals can keep us up, and that TM leaves when his contract is up.

Johansen would be class btw, got Fulham mates who want him to stay and play for them next season though they accept he should move on based on how the club has treated him. Would no doubt be a coup.

I would argue that centre back is a position we are pretty well covered in. Between Lenihan, Carter, Wharton and Ayala we are have some quality and depth. If injuries arise I would rather show faith in our younger players than spend wages for people on short deals. The reality is we are not getting promoted, we don’t have a chance under Mowbray and we need to accept that. In light with that CB doesn’t need attention in the transfer market. CM and wide positions are our most pressing issues, perhaps a back up left back.

This has transfer embargo all over it.

Strange deal for all concerned tbh. I can’t see TM giving Chapman the run of starts that he needs to find his feet at this club, while on the other hand if he does find them it’s another player we could end up losing for free at the end of the season.

What I will say about BB is that everyone in this message board at some point has had huge doubts about him and the fee we laid out for his services. However not once do I feel the fan base has turned on him and made him a scapegoat, he’s an extremely likeable figure who every fan has wanted to do well. At this point you wouldn’t even think the 6million we spent is unreasonable. His performances in the Copa America against big international teams have been very decent, seemingly making himself a key part of chiles squad and more importantly focal to their future. If all goes well he will end up being there main attacker at the World Cup if they qualify. His confidence looks sky high atm and I can’t wait to see him next season. We need to get him signed to a long term contract ASAP. On another note, this represents an extremely poor reflection on TM. He has failed to get these kind of performances from Ben regularly in 3 years.

I think a major thing to consider with young players is that they need regular games for them to really show their value. Wharton is a perfect example of this, when he first broke into the team last season he looked shaky and unconvincing, within a couple of games of playing consistently he looked like our best defender. For me Buckley hasn’t had that 5-6 game spell where he’s in the team every week, and if he did I have no doubt he would prove his doubters wrong. For me, there is no doubt he has tons of ability. The only thing that could stop him becoming a crucial player for us is Mowbray who has habit of mishandling players (Nyambe).
