Is he rich enough to buy us and install competent leadership?

Think that was the case. Something underlying which could mean injury in the future. Quite risky to transfer in someone you know can become more on the injury table than the pitch.

He did last season and we struggled for goals. Think it was something like 1 in 18.

You could still play with a stress fracture, with pain meds and/or a supportive brace, it won't do you any good like but it's possible.

Shame Root couldn't take that catch in the slips to give Archer 2 wickets in 2 balls just on lunch. Magnificent attempt though, very fast, very high.

I scored with a couple of thunderbolts in my playing career but I never managed to dribble around half the opposing team like Bryan Douglas could.

and I agree with him! Not the videos around to show what Duggie could do. You had to see it to believe it.

Its one less relegation place to worry about.

I thought at the time that the Baradji medical had picked up an issue that could be an issue rather than him being injured right now. See how he comes through today, but if he gets through unscathed i cant see his club dropping the fee or axceptinf an alternative deal for him.

Whats Sheff Wed to do with Rovers.

I'm not arguing that any member of the FF isn't worthy. They cannot be seen to be representative of the fans unless they've been elected by them. If an election resulted in exactly the same members being returned I wouldn't have any issue with it.

What happens when Ohashi has a barren spell, it happens to most strikers.

This is serious pre-season nothing to talk about fan madness. The West Brom game will come round soon enough... then we will wish all we had to talk about were phantom autographs....

We haven't spent on strikers yet, if you don't score goals, you don't win matches.

3/4 of our pre season friendlies have had a margin of 1 goal in our favour. I know there only friendlies, but we will need more than 1 against some of the Championship teams. We need to to strengthen our attack, and make them play for their places.

Adriano, Benzema, Klose, Torres, Lukaku (for a season or two), Kane to a degree.

I do wonder whether this could be the latest Venky strategy to save some money. Agree a fee and then negotiate down based on something incidental and clinically irrelevant picked up on a medical.

If only.

David Essex - Rock On

Classic rovers, can't be that badly injured if he's starting.

Say how you feel OEB 😂 Fully agree with you by the way.

It is also worth remembering. The club won THE top EFL award for fan engagement last season. Number 1 out of all the EFL.... That was largely for something conceived and implemented by fans, the very same fans, the club then fucked over and stopped all communication with. They are a complete set of self serving cunts who need expediting out of our proud club.

John Buckley?

Ok then, to summarise, Summer 24 was imo quite a good one given we had limited funding. However I think you can largely disregard that for future purposes as John Park was still here then. I would still maintain January 25 was a disaster. We needed major reinforcements and got none. I'd even argue Ribeiro is quite a downgrade on Beck.
