Doesn't really make sense though, if that was the case then surely he wouldn't have gone to Spain with them. Unless it came afterwards of course which is more daft in itself.

I dont see us signing any of these free transfers, I dont see the club offering more than 10k a week, think it may upset a few if they decided to sign a dawson or bamford to be on double more than anyone else. I imagine they are saving money thinking they can get through to january with 2 strikers. Seems the cost cutting continues, a bare bones squad, do they not realise that injuries and suspensions happen in a 46 game season. Guess there thought pricess is: Toth/Mikelski(young kid) alebiousu/taylor miller/carter wharton/mcloughin ribeiro/pickering tron/forshaw/monty tavares/balaji cantwell/henriksen hedges/miroshita de neve/kargbo yuki/gudjohnsen/iygor with the following able to play in various: miller taylor miroshita henriksen I mean the numbers of players are there, but the quality to rely upon is not.. iygor not ready, mikleski(young keeper) not ready, forshaw, de neve not looking good enough, and tavares has not started well, and gudjohnsen is a unknown. When you take those 6 out potentially not good enough that leaves you 19, and a few injuries to some of those or suspensions could leave you with like 15/16 on matchday, but not the best of quality all round. And with the injury record some of our lot have its probably going to be like 15 players maybe solid enough to compete available. I imagine pears will be tried to be offloaded to somewhere like turkey to. Cost cutting at its finest. I do get a hunch that the cb free transfer links are a bit of a smoke screen to try and calm things down a bit. Lets hope some of the newbies hit the ground running after the international break, not ideal that half of them are away on international duty, yuki and gudjohnsen come back both injured, who you picking up top...

If they've suspended Pears without pay for getting barnet surgery without consent then they'll be happy saving a fortune and having this kid on the bench as long as they can.

There is NO plan here it's just an agents feeding frenzy again if it ain't nailed down then move it on and get the commission then move something else in and get the....... As for Dennis for the final time F### OFF i'd rather loan Harry Leonard back !

We should get Pears back on the bench so that an injury to Toth doesn't leave us relying on either an untried teenager, or a 21 year old who was relegated with 2 seperate teams last season

They aren't bothered about that. Look at bundling Hyam out of the door on deadline day without a replacement, and letting a senior striker go outside of our transfer window as proof.

Amazed at any Dennis suggestions. It's been almost four years - late 2021 - since he had that really good run of form for Watford in the PL. He's done nothing since and there's a reason he's without a club at 27. He didn't look like he wanted to be here when we were (sort of) going for the play offs so god knows what he'd be like if we're going to be down the bottom as expected.

Not registering Pears would feel like an act of self harm (who thought anyone would ever say that!). The EFL say they’ll publish the squad lists within 7 days of a window closing so we don’t have long to wait to see who, and how many, we’ve registered.

Losing Gueye is not a huge problem on the face of it, although of course Rovers letting him go when they're no longer able to bring someone else in other than potentially a free agent is just typical of the club these days. Gueye doesn't have the brain for football at championship level. A couple of promising performances last season gave some hope that he could learn the ropes and kick on, but he just hasn't....obviously not helped by the change in head coach and the fact that Ismael clearly doesn't want him. My question is who plays upfront if Ohashi and Gudjohnsen get injured? Tyjon??

I don't think so. Just like how there's no plan in letting Hyam go, just shift Miller into that role. I think the plan has always been two "senior" strikers and then Tyjon as third choice.

lets hope VI does a big Sam and asks the big Gueye if he ever played CB

If we're getting rid of Gueye we must have a free transfer lined up. Dennis has a (big) point to prove here, and has worked under Ismael before, so I think that's the best we can hope for. He can play in different roles offensively as well.

Looks like it's just a loan.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/sep/05/dorking-fan-54-goalkeeper-injury-crisis Should we offer Pears to this lot, for the weekend? 😉

He has the ability though...Personally think it would be a low risk signing...Wages will be an issue mind.

Dennis has a higher ceiling, decent age so he only needs to put a few decent performances in and we'd make good profit on him next year.

Gueye is a waste of space, always has been. Would be losing a really poor striker. We could have done with a third striker but we have like at CB missed our chance there to get a reasonable option. Dennis though, did people watch the same player as me? Rubbish.

Gueye is nowhere near good enough but I would have waited until Jan. An injury to a striker and we're down to one option up top. Unless we're in the market for a free striker. Bamford or Dennis would be an upgrade.

I’m not that fussed if gueye goes tbh, other than we should have got another striker in before the window shut

Gueye would set some real records in the Turkish League. Records in the sense that with his positional awareness he may be the first man to play a game of football in both Asia and Europe at the same time at Istanbul away

Unpopular opinion, but if we got Dennis in for Gueye I would be happy. I imagine he'll be off to Saudi though.

Before he leaves, someone may want to tell him that they have the offside rule out there too...

Kocaelispor's record transfer spend is about £1.5m, way back in the year 2000... since then they've never spent over £700k on a player, but usually get them for way less or for free. Just for an idea of the peanuts we're likely to get for Gueye.

Absolute suicide, but hey it's all about saving cash.
