Awesome, he sounds exactly what we need.

I literally came on this morning (a time where the site is historically busy) looking for transfer news based on the fact that the manager said one was imminent last night. There are a couple of posters who regularly pick up the names before they break in the media. The performance of the team yesterday is relevant and would often spark debate about which position should be prioritised etc. So why not this morning?

Mate, this is the transfer thread. We announced a transfer was imminent Last night. There’s no ‘grand scheme of things’ with that. I just thought thought this thread would be buzzing this morning ??

Great performance agreed. Be good to see who the new potential signing is ??

Haha no, was a genuine thought. I’d bet that Sunday mornings (after a game) are statistically as busy a time on this messageboard as any. Maybe everyone’s coming round after celebrating into the early hours! I was hoping for some info on this potential signing tbf?

Nyambe hasn’t improved!?? ??‍♂️????

Quiet on here this morning. Thought it would be buzzing after a big win like that followed by the news of an imminent signing...?

Great. What type of keeper is he?

I don’t think it matters as much with Keepers. There’s lots of them in lower leagues who are much better than some in the PL. Mainly about opinions. Most Capable of making big saves. More about consistency and concentration for me.

I haven’t watched McLaughlin....anyone seen him??

Interesting also that a few on here have been pushing the lb Fox from Wed and he had an absolute shocker!! FYI - for those who saw my post this week, Bell won his first duel against Fox yesterday. Currently 45-1. Haha

Anyone know who the prospective loan is yet? I can see we’re expecting it to be the German guy. Hopefully loan to buy. Will push Gally into the middle as Arma can’t play every game and sometimes we may need more physicality. Glad JRC played well yesterday. Injuries have stalled his season but he now has a chance to stake a claim. Him, Buckley and Butterworth should be well in the mix next season. Maybe even Magloire and Fisher. Add Nyambe, Lenihan and Travis and we could have anything up to eight players from the academy in our match day squad....not bad!

We’re not talking about them. They’ve been crap, but I wouldn’t go back to Rhodes. We had him in his prime and I didn’t think he was all that, then.

Hahahah I know! Genuinely started a thing with my mate who goes to the game with me and for over 12 months I’ve watched the opposition LB and stated if I’d take them over Bell. Bell hasn’t come out on top once. Not a single time...something like 45-0. He’s dreadful

Hope so!!

Wow, that’s a BIG slant on Ogilvie’s ability. As most know on here I’m a glass half full kinda guy. But on my observation, Bell is one of the worst League players I have ever seen. Almost anything would be an improvement on him imo.

Jeez, look at the gut on him!! Might have to dust the old boots off myself at this rate! ?

Never. Go. Back. Rhodes was difficult to fit into any decent teams when he had the finishing of Kylian Mbappe and first touch, pace and guile of an elephant. His goals to game ratio suggests that even the goal scoring is becoming difficult. No thanks.

Aus and the Far East still on the table For him too I guess...

Chill mate. He has cut this short, not Rovers. It’s not an elaborate plan to replace Lenihan or Tosin. CM was deemed not good enough in September. That hasn’t changed.

Samuel was signed for little money to help get us out of League 1 with potential to make the step up to the championship. He played his part in our promotion before injuries but hasn’t made the grade in the Champ. No big deal. Bell was voted in the League 1 team of the year and at 22 seen as having potential. He was bought for peanuts and hasn’t kicked on. Again, nothing to see here. See ya!

Was the only time in my life that I stopped going to the matches.

Interesting if it is Rhodes. Because Nixon is suddenly back to being in the know and he definitely had some inside info / contacts when we signed JR last time. Im never keen on going back but JR would provide the goal threat that we need.

It will include fees paid to agents and signing on fees.

Lenihan. Though we do have an option to extend another year so Dack could be sold next Jan or next summer. If he looks after himself, Dack could be back by June. Get preseason under his belt.
