I like Morishita a lot too, but as an attacking midfielder rather than a winger

like Morishita (not a winger), De Neve (not a footballer) 🙂

I will start by saying I cant see this signing happening, seems too much money, wrong position etc But If his pregnant wife plays for Man Utd, is it a stretch to think he may have a car in the UK as well as in France? The fact he has a car here is probably the most believable thing about this

ooooo

especially considering that whilst he has played as a wing back a few times, and is versatile. He is in fact a winger, and we do not play with those

I saw the bold part first and though that was a mad prediction of our formation before reading the rest

the big fee quote seems to have originated in Norways press Bodo Glimt paid about €3M for him 6 months ago, (although its likely that fee is also after add ons etc). so a fee that "could reach" €3.5M means they can claim a victory

snap

Indeed, although in previous cases, this has resulted in the initial loans not completing as the EFL/FIFA/etc have stopped them from happening after checking the paperwork As his loan completed and he has played for us (unlike O'Brien, Brierley, McGuire), it is safe to assume everything is in order Not that I have any faith in Rovers not being inept, just that someone has checked their homework Edit - It is why on the release about him signing, the following statement is added at the end "His registration with the club is subject to confirmation of working visa and international clearance, as well as approval from the relevant football authorities." It is during these checks that previous deals have failed

He does not have a choice. he, his agent, & both clubs already signed the contract which became legally binding when his loan with us started The only party who can now back out is Rovers, by not activating the purchase option. Which if it is the rumoured £1.5M (ish), they would be mad to not trigger it Same applies to TGH, although in his case, the club would be mad to trigger the option

I suppose it is possible (albeit unlikely) that both were correct? I miss lasts nights fever dream already

Updated list, following Jorgensen signing Each player is linked to Rovers confirmation of their last contract signing, Options only noted where specifically mentioned by the club, although as we have seen in the past (eg Hyam) sometimes these are not disclosed. Expiring in 2026 - Tronstad, Forshaw, Hedges, Mullarkey-Matthews, Khan, Davies, Farkas, Stritch, Dlamini, Wood, Boggan, all current 2nd year scholars including Tyjon Expiring in 2026 but with an option - Honor, Pratt, Olson, Batty, Duru, Montgomery, O'Grady-Macken, Loan expiring in 2026 - Cashin Loan expiring in 2026 but with a purchase option - Baradji, Gardner-Hickman Expiring in 2027 - Toth, Pears, Carter, Garrett, Cantwell, Kargbo, Edmondson, Doherty, all current first year scholars including Higgins Expiring in 2027 but with an option - Barrett, Goddard, Pickering, McLoughlin, Ribeiro, Ohashi, Litherland, Houghton, Powell, Expiring in 2028 - O'Riordan, Tavares, Eze Expiring in 2028 but with an option - Atcheson, Miller, Alebiosu, De Neve, Gudjohnsen, Morishita, Wharton, Expiring in 2029 - - Expiring in 2029 but with an option - Henriksson, Michalski, Jorgensen

Either that, or the club are trying to flush out a leak Different names given to different members of staff, and then whichever name pops up in the press/twitter etc informs you of who the leak is If someone gets sacked from Rovers in he next week, they may have been a leak Another possibility is RoversXtra posted the Donnum story on twitter at pretty much exactly the same time as Jackson (both at 6pm last night according to timestamps on their twitter posts). So maybe Jackson got caught copying his homework? (or vice versa, but if Jackson was the one being copied, I cannot see a reason as to why he deleted his story)

It will be similar to the Tavares deal, where the reported fee on €3.5M for Jorgensen will be if he hits every single add on, he scores a truckload of goals, and we win promotion 'the initial fee will be circa €1.5M
