Having said that, they've not exactly stormed the early part of the season so far, have they? If we were to go on a decent run, I'm sure we would see a lot more excitement and energy post match from the players. Anyway, most of them have only just been introduced, so it is a little early for bonding and 'team spirit' to have developed.

As they used to say on Stingray "Anything can happen in the next half hour!" I suppose Gestede was right to a degree when he said the window was going to be "exciting" if you can call being stuck on a runaway train or a car where the brakes have gone, and you're wondering whether you're going to survive or be completely wiped out, "exciting".

Cantwell will be playing the bulk of the games in behind the striker, he's captain he'll play whenever he's fit. Any signings have to be playing in other positions. This guy must be playing on the wing.

He wouldn't score 18 goals, but he'd have far more Goals and Assists than Gallagher. He leads the line better than anyone we've had for a while - he holds the ball up and brings others into play. He's a 6'5" CF that wins almost everything in the air and we've never, ever consistently crossed the ball into the box for him. Only Brittain was able to put in good service for him - Hedges and Dolan just hit and hoped on their crosses. As for yesterday - it's very difficult to get back onside once you've made your run. I'd have to look at it again, but Cantwell was showboating at that point - he could have put Hendrikson in for a clear chance in the second half, but wanted another goal - and delayed the pass. Also it was saved by the GK. I'm not saying he's the next Drogba, but the disrespect he gets on here is baffling. We're in the Championship, all of our players have serious flaws, yet Gueye is one of the few that seems to be constantly dragged over the coals for his.

All competitions I believe

I saw this get corrected to 13 and 13 somewhere….

It was probably more Waggott and Venus. Mowbray was there for a while though I think. Kept them up initially then bombed when handed the job permanently

The total Legia wage bill is less than 40% that of Rovers so there is probably a lot of scope to pay Morishita a significant wage rise and keep under the club's newly imposed 10k per week maximum. Pasha's attitude towards players is that they are commodities so anything is possible this week.

Agreed - of course we should consider context (if there’s ongoing beef between the fanbase and a player etc) but when a transfer like this breaks and the fans come out going mad because “he’s our best player” then that’s a great sign. Defo a winger too, based on that video. Looks like he can play of the left or right and off both feet. Hopefully get this one done 🤞🏽

He will play on the left hedges will be moved to the right.

Well Legia fans seems more pissed off that he is leaving, than Rovers fans seeing Travis leave 😂

Not shooting the messenger but about the same as Dolan then and most people reckoned he was crap?

If he were younger I'd loan him out to a League 1 club but he's 27 or 28?

6 goals 5 assists last season. Still got a few years on his contract with Legia so not sure he'll be a cheap one. Do they have financial issues?

That's odd seeing as TM bailed out there before the Cov fans got chance to lynch him.

Surely in the general scheme of things another left sided player is the last thing we need with Kargbo, De Neve and Hedges already on the books? (Albeit the latter two are crap)

Seems like a fairly nomadic career has kicked on since he was played as a winger. I dont think he will be signing as anything but a winger. You mentioned Legia fans going mad @Paul Mani and I have seen similar. I have sometimes been criticised but its always a good indication IMO, whether it be good or bad. He seems very popular there. Reason I mention is that one person said that he is their only winger.

Aye can delete this thread now 🤣

Yeah I don't think he's the RW signing so I reckon we'd still be looking at Afolayan too. If we can get these signings over the line then we could actually have a very exciting squad full of pace and athleticism. Not sure the last time we had a squad that had those traits. We've been a very one-paced team for a long time.

Must be on then!

Unlikely I would say.

100% coming in as a winger.

Personally I take all these twitter accounts that espouse 'inside info' with a pinch of salt. If you want to believe them that is perfectly your right.

Unless we’re signing Morishita and Afolayan!? 👀
