How come you are so confident on getting two in?

With Wharton being injured, I doubt he will be sold today. However, it will be a disaster if he does go for £150 Million and Rovers get a big pay out. Pasha will be a hero in Venky's eyes and the face washing will continue way into the future with Pasha having complete autonomy. As a side note, I have heard from a Wharton family friend that Adam favours a move to Liverpool.

100% agreed. Tronstad will be having to do the job of two men over the coming weeks unless an experienced Championship reinforcement comes in. As a result he is guaranteed to break down. A decent CM with pedigree of this league is surely a must but the penny pinchers won't see it like that.

Unless there has been a deal that's been going on for a bit already, it's unlikely we'll get anyone in today. Worryingly, the club seem happy enough with the squad, despite the gaping holes in centre mid and goal.

I've heard they're just sticking on the fax machine to warm it up / check it still works. I'm not sure we've paid the phone bill recently though...

Pears as much as id like to see him leave cannot go without an adequate replacement. At the moment we are weaker than last season in the following areas: Right back (new lads looks promising but isn't better than brittain at this moment) Centre back (in the short term) Left back Centre mid Right wing Backup keeper (if pears goes) We are stronger in the following areas: Backup right back 1st change at Centre mid Backup striker (gudjohnsen over Gueye) Potentially left winger (new Japanese fellow) Potentially depth for the no. 10 (Swedish lad) I'm not fully sold on our business so far. We need a few of the new lads to be run away successes to consider that we have done anything other than regress massively. Still not sorted out tronstad and hyam either.

By "bananas", we probably mean that the wage offered were at a similar level to other Championship clubs

We see Sit back and look at the situation objectively. Pears hasn't feature in our pre season friendlies, no league and cup games or has even warmed up with the keepers pre game. Does that really say Ismael wants him here or any chance he is going to be number 2 here this season when you sit back and look at all the evidence against Pears here?

Hopefully, these are just muscle injuries coming from a combination of workload and the fact that he's had a reasonably big growth spurt over the last couple of years. But it is definitely concerning. Picking up non-contact injuries every 3/4 months is not a great sign.

Terminate his contract?!? Why would they do that? He's a 27 year old with at least 80-100 Championship games under his belt. And he's contracted till 2027. Surely someone would take a punt on him at £500K or so. His wages won't be astronomical either, will they? I did see a rumour the other week that Broughton did get contracts signed, but went a bit bananas with the wage levels. Be interesting to see what Pears is on.

Any sign of the order? Delhi High Court website doesn't seem to load for me these days.

I also thought they were thinking along these lines, but it's a serious risk. You're basically reliant on another club in the Prem/Champ/L1 being willing to loan you their 3/4th choice keeper. Even worse if the league says that Goddard's 6 games in Ireland count as senior matches.

Central midfield is currently very weak. If Tronstad were to be injured we would be in dire straits..can you imagine a combo of Tavares and Montgomery…relegation written all over them . Alan Browne is a tough, experienced, intelligent player …I can only dream . Without him or similar before the close of play today ….were buggered .

😂

Striker and CM for me. With Morishita, Hedges, Karbo, De Neve and Alebiosu (surely capable of playing higher), think Rovers will probably be satisfied with that. Hendriksen or whatever he's called could also probably do a job there. CM we've got Tron, Tav, Mont, Forshaw and Baradji (not a clue when he's even going to be fit). Even one injury (particularly Tronstad) in there is a frightening thought. Need an experienced tough tackling CM for me.

In old money it is now 13.37 on transfer deadline day. Nothing is going to happen is it?

We went to this one last year - Rovers were unlucky to lose to a debatable penalty - and are thinking about it again But really what is the point? The team is weaker than last season, the manager looks like he is a dud, and the thought of another long journey home after another depressing defeat is too awful to contemplate Life is short and some of us haven’t long left. Time is better spent tidying up the garden, doing the chores, watching some local cricket, than supporting a bunch of no hopers. For a lifelong fan, I never thought it would come to this

Conservative estimate, that....

The laughable thing is , we know see Suhail stepping in and apparently stopping the Leonard transfer to Posh, as he wanted anther £200k. From what I am told, Gestede agreed it at £1m and Pasha blocked it. What a pity he didn't do something similar with Wharton, which is telling, given that he admitted, he didn't know how good, he was going to be.

but, but the pathways!!!!!

Fingers crossed the lads on duty come back unscathed

Looking at wharton's injury record maybe 18 million wasn't that bad. He's done the same injury he did last season apparently

A mixed bag of results there. Recent form suggests a draw or loss. Hoping Mori can start this one and see how long he can play for

Less. Less. More.
