There does seem to be a pattern.... again

Apparently a striker https://www.dunfermlinepress.com/sport/25613657.dunfermlines-andy-tod-call-up-scotland-under-21s/

Yes I am sure that Scott Wharton signed a contract 2 years ago when he was a regular in the first team squad on a lower wage than Kristi Montgomery, who at the time he signed his last contract had never made a senior appearance at any level And that is assuming that this video (which looks as AI made as I have ever seen) was made before Whartons more recent contract last month

Suppose that comes down to how good/bad we expect players to be when signed for relative buttons Also, for all we know, on one hand, he may have been recommending numerous other players, who Rovers were then subsequently outbid on, so we moved onto the D/E tier list, or the players we signed may have been his A tier picks

Senior first team scout, Piotr Sadowski, has left the club this month. https://www.linkedin.com/in/piotr-sadowski-4184a8a0/?originalSubdomain=uk He only arrived in February, another who was sold a bag of magic beans?

Fair comment, I have edited my previous post

Not to disagree with your post, I basically agree with what you have said. But.... This summer it was the same %, However we have had multiple seasons preceding this one where we have offloaded Wharton, Szmodics, got the Raya money, and reinvested basically none of it. Remember that incommings do not impact Rovers budget, our budget is for some reason set in stone and cannot be altered increased ever. So if we are to take Rovers/Gestede/Pasha at face value (I know, I know), we have only spent that % this summer by pure coincidence, and our past transfer income vs expenditure does back that up Edited as per Wilsden

Gross They brought in about £30M selling Nunez, Sainz & Rowe, so still had a net transfer profit, but can you imagine our lot spending that % of the Szmodics/Wharton/Raya money?

Difference is that their summer dross cost them upwards of £25M 😉 I'm not sure which is worse? flushing that amount of money down the drain or spending £2.63 and a bag of chips on Rudy Randoms

If they back him financially like they did Manning during the summer, then I could see them doing very well under him They did just spent a lot of money (generated from sales) on rubbish during the summer, so maybe they have run out?

can't imagine either of those is on the list, Ismael seems to be all in on wing backs now, so is probably happy with Hedges De Neve as his options there Imagine the shopping list is (Rudys shopping list, not mine) a centre back or 2 (one of which may be O'Riordan being recalled), a striker (probably with Gueye being offloaded) right wing back cover (which may be Duru if they can recall him) possibly a new central midfielder if they can get one cheap enough or unload Tronstad before his contract expires for what they consider an acceptable fee All cheap punts from overseas

Can you chat to them? Ask for a January (and summer) warchest, and Pasha to be sacked 😉

I think he will get signings in January, they will from overseas and will be of the ilk of De Neve, Tavares, Kargbo etc, although we may drop lucky and get another Alebiosu We will then see just how much Ismael is signed up to the current model. Personally I think he has been drinking the Rudy/Pasha Kool Aid and will be perfectly happy with this. Which will only change in the unlikely scenario that Rovers go on a significant winning run and his stock rises enough to allow him to move to a non basket case club.

The current ione is an achilles injury It was an achilles injury in 2020, his last injury in 2024 was an ACL
