Just finished watching this a few days ago. Powerful stuff, as anything well-made about WWII and particularly the holocaust generally is. Not the sort of thing I could binge watch though, I never watched more than 2 episodes at a time as it's quite heavy going.

Disney Plus. Not seen it myself but it's on there, heard a lot of good things. The concept doesn't draw me in, but the amount of raving I've heard about it, I'll probably watch it some day.

Or there might simply not be anything to make a decision on Siggy about. If nobody tries to buy him, we can't sell him. I'm yet to see any clubs linked.

Anyone know if Mafoumbi (now signed officially, the LT don't seem to have reported it though as far as I can see) takes up one of our foreign player slots? I'm assuming he does even though he's signed for the U21s, as he could play for the first team if we wished. Which makes me wonder if we're done signing players from abroad now. Him, Big Mak and Ohashi would take up 3 slots, and I think Tronstad or Siggy take up the other. Seemed odd reading that at 19, Mafoumbi is signing his first pro contract. I guess they do things differently in France.

Not thrilled that McFadz has signed again. Primarily because he's missed most of pre-season, which combined with his age could be pretty detrimental. I said a while back I'd be fine with keeping him on with a 6 month deal and 6 month option, though I accept he would probably never sign such a deal so I can live with a year's deal, that was just what I'd have felt comfortable with. But it's really at a late stage for him to join up with everyone. I hope he's been keeping himself in good shape or I don't think he'll add anything. His wages etc will probably render the Gent fee meaningless...think I'd rather have kept Gent.

Does it? Neither of those are left backs.

I heard he wants £1066 a week.

I think JRC crosses a ball well. Brittain on occasion. That's about it, and both have injury problems. JRC may also be used elsewhere.

All I can tell you for sure is this thread will include people telling you 'well he can't be worse than Gally', despite that being factually completely inaccurate.

I get the feeling that he will only do well if we sign one or two wingers who can actually put a good cross in. Think we need a Conway to his Gestede.

Yeh that's why he married her I guess.

Average record, no experience in the UK, marries hookers, believes in curses, doesn't speak the language. I can't see how this one goes wrong.

I don't think Chaddy has ever called a Rovers signing shit, and I don't think he ever will.

Lights, camera, admin... I wouldn't draw attention to admin if I were the club.

Thanks, I thought that might have been the case but I couldn't recall for sure, so I just didn't mention it.

In fairness you've missed one of his biggest positives - he works his ass off.

Finneran wanted to move as he 'felt it was time for a new challenge'. Fuck off kid! New challenge my arse, you hadn't even established yourself here yet. Just another greedy, ungrateful shit like Phillips (moreso actually, at least Phillips did sign the scholarship deal and ensured we got a couple million). I hope he vanishes in the Premier League youth-hoovering academy and loaning system and winds up regretting his choice.

But that has a net value of £0, possibly less.

Cracking marketing as usual

We seem to like loaning young keepers to Bamber Bridge. We sent Goddard there a couple of times. As well as to Marine and Lancaster City. Not sure where those clubs were at the time but currently they play in the 7th, 6th and 7th tiers respectively. Goddard came with a reputation as a highly promising keeper, when he was about 16 or 17. Now, at 20, he is on loan in the Irish Premier and that's his best level yet, but it hardly makes me think he's gonna make it here especially with our glut of young keepers. Honestly I'm very confused what our plan is with all these young goalies. Are we just collecting them, sending as many as we can out to the non leagues and hoping we get another David Raya outcome? Because I don't see it. The level Raya went to at Southport was 5th tier. I'm truly not sure what they can learn in the 7th tier. I bet our Academy side would thrash Bamber Bridge.

Aye I remember we wanted Siriki Dembele as the replacement for Rothwell when Bournemouth offered us about 4 mill for him. Then Siriki went to Bournemouth instead when we refused to sell, plus we lost Rothwell to them for nowt 6 months later after he went missing for the remainder of his time here. More stellar business.

Oh ok, I'd only seen people on here talking about Karamoko lately. A bit of googling shows me you're right. Don't think that'd be a bad signing at the right price.

Eustace's post match comments said that both Sams were 'in talks with other clubs'. That's something that shouldn't really be happening until a fee has been agreed. But he can train whilst his agent conducts talks.

It's Karamoko Dembele. EDIT: Apologies, apparently it actually is Siriki that's linked.

As if he'd put even a penny of that into the club. More likely to use club funds for both those things then pocket any winnings!
