Comes to something when a journo feels he has to do that. This club is relentlessly toxic.

The most likely outcome is he has his operation, and spends the majority of the season injured playing a few games off the bench before being sent back next summer

What I would say is that it makes me even more sceptical about his injury, we must think it is a risk worth not signing him permanently for, yet he has beeb our top target. And I've never understood the hype from one YT video and Swiss league relegation battle, but happy for him to prove me wrong for us.

Baradji needs to come in and make a real difference. We've just sold our club captain and replaced him with this bloke. Him being constantly injured isn't an option, in fact, if he is, it's catastrophic.

Rather random question but does Baradji speak English?

I think you're going to be very disappointed if you think that is what will happen

Loan with an option makes sense for Baradji. We apparently think he is injured and needs surgery and who knows how that goes, while Yverdon and presumably Baradji are happy to play matches. Medical team get to monitor him properly now over a season and then can make informed decision on permanent signing next summer. Other posters have commented on the risks associated with the injury he allegedly has as well, so it protects club. We'd all be slamming them if we paid up and then he was a crock. (Also it saves money up front for us to back out next year and sign someone cheaper..)

In fairness, he did swear on his daughter’s life 😅.

Has someone mention the st Pauli rw we are looking at?

If another club offers more wages, he will be signed for Rovers at the pre agreed fee & wages, and then immediately sold at profit

Again, this makes sense, in case Rovers send him back, its the Swiss club protecting themselves against potential loss as his current contract expires next summer

Bingo! And that's exactly what Rovers are hoping for so we don't have to pay the transfer fee. It's so obvious how the club operates these days when it comes to players requiring higher transfer fees.

Haven’t really been following anything club related for over a week but see it is still a shit show. Weird that I literally feel nothing about Travis leaving. Cretins well and truly have destroyed any passion & love that I have had left for this club. Been a lot more enjoyable spending time on hobbies and not watching the last game / following rovers news. Cherry on top has be that their main target all summer is injured and has signed on a loan deal 😂😂😂😂 To those of you that are still fighting a non winnable battle for change I salute you. To the happy clappers that suffer from stockholm syndrome it is time to return to reality. I for one will enjoy spending my time on non Rovers related activities as I have noticed that I have been a lot happier the past week. Will occasionally still check in for the ongoings. I envy supporters of other clubs with competent people in charge 😔

Am I misunderstanding what the manager is saying? Was he talking about us being close (ish) to signing an attacker or is Beradji the player he's talking about?

We know how this club operates. They won't want to pay the sort of fee required for the player on a permanent deal and there's no way the player comes here permanently if a bigger club comes in and offers him higher wages. What a shame as I think he's our most talented player signed this summer.

Ah, ok. Always wondered about that.

If he did, they must have ripped it up which would suggest they think the injury problem is worse than let on.

‘His career really got going in Italy…’ … at clubs I, and no doubt many others, have never heard of.

Yes, he will have signed the contract In those sort of cases, the player is "flipped" like a house, for a profit

Pretty much. Happy times.

Some talk of him having signed a 2 year contract extension with Yverdon before the loan move which is totally bizarre

Can we enforce the deal against the player's wishes, if by that time the player has other interest and doesn't want to join us permanently?

when you see the likes of charlton,qpr and millwall spending cash on proven players,something is very wrong with the state of this club,we can`t now seemingly manage to pay for a player from the swiss 2nd divison

Right winger will 1000% be an unwanted prem loan

So just to clarify. We are replacing our captain who the local journalist is bigging up the fee of. With an injured player on loan?
