Probably took more money for one year and wanted 2 years with the less amount we would have been offering

Non of those five prospects you mention are at a stage where they can hold down a first team spot.

Wasn’t it said that he wanted a 2y contract at Rovers?

I’m not saying they necessarily will be replaced by two better players straight away, but hopefully they will be replaced by to players With more financial upside if they turn out great. When it comes to the experience in the squad; we have Hyam, Wharton, Pickering, Travis, Tronstad, Carter, Cantwell and Hedges to name a few. This is spiced up with some very exciting prospects in Tyjon, Batty, Duru, Montgomery, Riordan.

Don’t worry about Carter, he’s only got cramp.

Probably because they'd have to agree adequate compensation first and if they can't they risk getting stung at tribunal. 15k a week over 3 years might be agreeable but not if it comes with a 1.5 or 2 million fee as well.

no they don`t,the ones running the club financially only care about their renumeration and will do anything to hang onto to their job

Batth turns 35 in September. But there are two seperate arguments. Whether he will be a big miss, and whether he will replicare it next season. I dont see why a 2 year deal comes into it. He has only signed a 1 year deal at Derby.

Batth turns 36 in Sept and Weimann 34 in August. Keeping them could be smart, but giving a 36 year old a two-year contract is no way to run a football club. Also Weimann turning 34. It’s not very sustainable long-term giving such players contracts.

Neither said his agent was greedy or dickhead or big headed did I? Out of context here. But an agent should be attracting offers for him for months They seem a lack of offers out there for him which I am surprised myself RF99.

The last 15 years tell me - no they don’t care.

No, they're not irreplaceable, but you are assuming they will be replaced by 2 players who are better. I don't have the same confidence.

Best team lost I thought but we never gave up so fair play to our women. Great header and penalty from Lucy Bronze. Some times you make your own luck. Some bloody awful penalties though.

It’s as well de neve isn’t the weimann replacement and is the Owen beck replacement then

It's not about what we're losing, it's about what we're not replacing. But judge the window once it's shut, and not now, although the signs are pointing in a familiar direction to a place that smells.

Well we haven't replaced Batth as yet and I will be amazed if De Neve gets anywhere near what Weimann did last season in terms of impact, goals and assists.

Who is 36? Both made significant contributions last season, and we are weaker without those. Whether they would have replicated those seasons is irrelevant.

Can’t believe what I’m reading. People so upset that we are losing a 36! Year old and a 34 year old. Decent players, but nowhere near irreplaceable

Carter has turned into a right crock, unfortunately.

Not sure hiring Jason Wilcox as the penalty coach was an inspired move but we got away with it! Sweden keeper saves 4 but skies one herself and two of her teammates miss the target. That was unfathomably poor quality but job done for England

Think it's clear Hull are in even more desperate straits financially than Rovers! Additionally, Brittain's transfer value is far more substantial (£2 to 3m) than McLaughin (£0.5 to 1m). It's apples and pears!

That was my thinking as well. I went on the TUI passport checker ( I’m not going with TUI ) and put all my details in and it said I was good to go. It really is a confusing situation. I couldn’t take a chance though because the staff at the desk could still turn me away.

Ismael kept playing him when he came in last season. Of course, it isnt linear and there are no guarantees. But based on last season, Batth was brilliant and will be a big miss. I dont think saying that or that saying having only 4 centre backs when 2 have such big fitness question marks is a big risk is controversial.

England lasses through on penalties against Sweden. Worst penalty shoot out I've ever seen. 7 penalties each. 3-2

As usual you're dragging a completely different standard of player into it brought in on a totally different budget and project.
