Thinking philosophically about this last minute sale Charade that clubs go through. Why? If you need a player, budget for him and go in early. Job done. We are not buying bomber jackets at H&M when it does not matter if you miss out. I appreciate that some squad players availability depends on injuries further up the food chain. I think For some clubs, saying they went for a player gives them bragging rights with fans. Except fans are not stupid.

Good to see Harvey Elliott Killing it for Liverpool tonight

🤔 Adequate money to invest in an adequate replacement or two?

He needs to go in this window. We don’t need the risk of an injury or a drop in form diluting the price. Plus the ability to pre sign a contract in January and all the head games that go with that.

Well we did a great job with Harvey Elliott. He did a great job for us.

With Maupay signed for Everton, the Diaz of a bumper payout may be dwindling. could be 10 million plus add ons

Ask Geoff. 😉

In fairness Jack did see us as a project. It was his pet project. The stars aligned. He made very good money, He had a vision for Rovers and from the ground to the training facilities, to the manager, he went for the best. It took time, and project management, but his burning ambition and passion for the club made all the difference. Yin and Yang.

I think the interim title should be “Transfers - Ask Geoff”

I want my acid reflux to recede. It happens around page 536 every season.

Don't want him injured sitting in the shop window.

Extraordinary story. Taking the bad boy of football to a to a completely lower level. Although with current stories knocking around maybe not.

“And now for something completely different 🦶” Great quote from Travis on team briefings with JDT “I think it helps, in meetings previously you could maybe doze off if you were a little tired. You never know if he will ask you a question so everyone is focusing and that's good."

If you are good enough, you are old enough.

That had me scurrying for my wikipedia. What a great hypothesis. I once knew a guy in customer service called Joe Terrible. True that.

“Walking on Sunshine.”

Duffy gone to Fulham. May provide an opening for JPVH at Brighton

Looks like Sheffield United will be in the same lake as us fishing for a centre back. https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-sheffield-united-star-jack-robinson-faces-three-months-out-in-crushing-blow/

Methinks they all know he is in final year and waiting until the end of the Summer window to pounce for a knockdown price. Just a question of who.

Looks like the 400 will be up before tea and no news falling.

3 points first day of the season. Thank you very much. 79' Substitution Substitution, Peterborough United. Hector Kyprianou replaces Sammie Szmodics. 🤔

Nyambe not even on the subs bench. Getting the change he wanted. 🤔

Trouble is everything is starting early because of The World Cup. Those managers in place at the end of the season had an advantage. More games will be played this season before the window closes and managers will see who they need and don’t need. That’s when things will get hairy. Boro and Sheff Utd have “gone ugly early” and will on this occasion reap the benefits. We seem to have a lot of layers. Head of recruitment, DOF, Waggott, JDT, and the Venkys layers. I hope they have their job descriptions worked out before the window closes.
