He put it on a good 4 hours after Nixon had already reported it.

They will sell Abeiosu in a heart beat if it means that the Venkys don't have to send any money over for a few extra months. They will already have a fee in mind that is below his market value but hits a sweet spot for the financial year coverage needed. Rovers having a s strong hand is laughable, we are basically in administration without it being official.

He was excellent especially against Tielmans who is no mug. Controlled it from start to finish.

What are people blowing off steam about that they dont understand?

He was pretty prolific every time he played in the Belgian league, a move to Zaragoza didn't quite work out (I can't tell you why as I simply don't know). He's your classic target man - he doesn't want to be pressing and chasing the back line, he wants crosses in the box early and direct and we just haven't played like that. He has strength, he's just not being told to use it correctly. Exactly the same as Gallagher.

What strengths? And where were these goals?

Our conduct over the last 3-4 years demonstrates that this club WANTS to sell / offload its best players. Evidence? Look at the list of departures Look at the lack of contract renewals Look at the money pocketed and not reinvested So when Elliot Jackson talks about Everton-Alebiosu in terms like 'Rovers have a strong hand' that implies Rovers would want to Keep the player and that it isn't in the regime's interests to sell him quickly for a good profit. I don't believe that. I think they'd love to do that as quickly as possible. And that is why we need regime change as quickly as possible, because their agenda and interests do not correspond with Rovers having the best side possible for as long as possible.

I feel with Gueye we really missed a trick, He's clearly a confidence based striker. we didn't play to his strengths during any game he featured in. The fans can say he's crap etc all they like but I assume he's struggled from the first day being here. New country, New team, 2 new managers, turmoil behind the scenes, not wanted. I wonder how many of us would perform at our best doing our jobs with all that going on? Whilst checking social media and being called out for being rubbish. Wish him nothing but the best, he's obviously got goals in him, he's proven that elsewhere just sadly not at rovers!

Also if stories are to be believed, spent £20K/week for nearly 6 months on wages for Dennis, + whatever loan fees were involved, so probably somewhere between £500K & £1M on that waste of space

How is Dave?

Washed our face with Ennis. Made a profit on Telalovic.

Watched Wharton last night. If Johnson was a decent player he'd have had two assists. Wharton ran the show against villa

Because a lot of remaining match going fans fundamentally don’t think that’s what you do as a supporter. Crap owners but it’s their cross to bear. We may struggle with that, it’s one game, think of the big picture and all that. But not going to a game when they are a season ticket holder, when they think the team needs support, wouldn’t cross their mind for a second and are bemused by the whole thing. (and before you jump in Rev. This isn’t me ‘carping’, this isn’t me saying it isn’t the right thing to do, this isn’t me not supporting the Coalition. As it’s a thread to discuss it I’m just explaining the mindset of all those that sit around me that will be there. So let’s stop worrying about them and just try and work with what we’ve got.).

As a waiter maybe ?

the Chinese apparenty

So we want to ban transfer rumours from the transfer thread? Why, so we can continue to read the relentless bleating of fully grown men, blowing off steam about stuff they don’t (and could never) fully understand, instead? I appreciate this messageboard is a form of therapeutic catharsis for some, but others of us are just here to see if Rovers are close to signing someone… I have no idea why we constantly hound out any possible sources of information to the point that very few of the actual ‘ITK’ guys even post at all because they can’t be arsed getting the second degree. Sure, have questionable motives, but honestly I’d rather be entertained by a crap transfer rumour (in the transfer thread) than have to watch Dave from Lower Darwen, have yet another messageboard meltdown. Theres a poster on here who posts on X as RoversExtra or something like that who called the Cashin transfer days before and got the usual set to and abuse. His info was right! Alan Nixon is a bellend, but he’s got more right than wrong in recent years, and either way, he probably knows more than most people on here about transfers. This is the transfer thread, so please don’t remove any potential rumours or linked posts, these should be the focus of our discussions and save the therapy sessions for quiet news days! Fyi - Makhtar Gueye is STILL better than Sam Gallagher for me. Anyone seen more on this Frey link from QPR? Seem to remember him tearing us a new one at their place a couple of seasons ago…

My comment was meant in jest. He is obviously doing a very fine job with Brentford

Who is going to sign Gueye ?

We will be fine, just need to play a five goalkeepers formation....

The U21s management couldn't muster the full squad for the game again. With more youngsters getting promoted in a desperate bid to stave off relegation, others heading out on loan or getting injured, I can't imagine many more points being earned by the side. It's disappointing because there's some promising players in there that could do with more support.

Doing well with a team stripped of it's two best forwards who were responsible for the vast majority of their goals last season. Lost their captain and goalkeeper as well Maybe we just have to (begrudgingly for some) accept that he might be a good coach - perhaps he can read a game better than he can play one! Would explain all the pointing 😉

We had one. People used it to sarcastically react to posts they didn't agree with.

Especially if it involved bigging up the current recruitment "operation" and using it to criticise Eustace.
