Thats what makes the most sense positionally, otherwise its an odd addition

Ismael recruiting ready to play 3 centre halves. Left sided centre half and De Neve who will most likely play left wing back. Certainly think wing back is Britain’s best position. I’m fairly certain we were linked with Nade a couple of years ago as well.

How can you have much of any opinion of the player when none of us have seen him play live or what his best attributes are or weaknesses. Or what position he will play here. I suspect this is one of few signings we will make from the French and Belgium market.

No sales in shops support the coalition

I see what you mean now. Even more of a reason to do our own version. The official 150th anniversary shirt brought to you by the supporters coalition.

I would suspect that they wouldn't have started the process without knowing they would secure some kind of conviction. Really hoping the money runs out soon. Administration can't come soon enough.

Left back. Strange.

M’learned colleague @rog of the rovers pointed out to me that you can make out the Macron logo through the white half which suggests it’s a dark logo on a white half at the front. My response to that was along the lines that my relationship to Rovers is at best fragile momentarily & a non-reversed halves home shirt in our 150th year might be the straw that breaks this camel’s back 🤦‍♂️😆

I know, he should have gone out early like everyone else.

If the links to CBs and de Neve are true, Ismael may be switching to a 3-4-3, in which case Pickering probably plays CB and we need a backup to Ribeiro as wing back

Would be nice if true, and to be fair most of our signings the last few years have come without much rumour.

Or they're reversed on the front.

I just think with our microscopic budget, a CB isn't what we should be spending on. It's easier to find decent enough freebies or even loans in that area. Our budget needs to be spent on attack.

Oh, it comes easily.

This suggests no reversed halves on the back…🤦‍♂️

Yes…but need to find a supplier who will do short order runs to a precise, bespoke design at an attractive price point…👍

I get questioning what type of player he might be etc. I dont get how you can just flippantly come to that conclusion.

That makes any potential signing a bit more puzzling in terms of where he is likely to fit in.

Im not sure what I have said about Kargbo that is relevant. With transfers like this, ie players from abroad, its obviously an unknown but totally witholding any opinion would eliminate the point of this thread. So we can just base it on what we know, so position, standard that hes playing at, how his team has done, how regularly he has played, if hes an attacking player how many goals and assists hes got etc. On Kargbo, I raised the point that he seemingly did really well at Serie C but was often a sub in Serie B. So the question was always, is he capable of coping with the jump to Championship standard. That question hasnt been answered positively or negatively as he has barely played due to injury. On De Neve, I never said that he isnt a wide man, you've misread what I put. Based on what we know, he isn't a wide man who has scored or assisted many goals in his career, probably partly because he has often played at left back. I have no idea how good or otherwise he is, I am just speculating on what type of player he seems to be, and whether he seems to be the type of player we need or where he will fit in, if he signs. Ultimately, we have no idea if this player will even sign.

Sounds like another terrible player like Hedges

May be reading to much into this but Michael Nade, who Jackson thought was an alternative to Modibo Sagnan, appears to be saying goodbye to the fans on his Instagram account from what I can gather. Like I say may be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

Deschamps definitely on a bit of a not so friendly parade lap for this World Cup, there’s a decent chance of a French implosion a la 2010 and 2002. They do have a very strong squad if they can all get along for 6 weeks during the tournament. Spain look pretty formidable at this point, Yamal is an absolute star but Germany ran them very close in the Euros and they also have young players coming to the fore. I seriously doubt Portugal can go far with Ronaldo still starting every game, he’s really not worth his spot anymore and his antics at the Euros were pretty embarrassing. Agree re Brazil and England, both teams with very good players that just can’t seem to come together in a coherent team.

And we haven't. Two very poor losses.

Try having a keeper to supply with gloves and boots my son says gloves last a few months with the number of games and traing with school,district ,county,saturday team and sunday .
