He will probably being going out on loan this season, but Jake Batty also has a decent long throw, so may be an option in the future, no doubt he will be cheaper than either Pickering or Ribeiro when it comes to each of their contract renegotiations too

It’s called Marketing…😆

Shameless use of a baby....sorry son!

We have a long throw now at least.

I would imagine that they have consulted an indipendent expert on the field, as well as listening to the experiences the player has had living (and playing) with the condition. We're recruiting from the bargain basement so there's bound to be an issue with every player we sign - not necessarily medically though.

Someone at the club telling them they don't "need to" is my guess.

How dare you Mark! We've miraculously improved the starting 11 this window though didn't you know!? Every single signing is an upgrade

We all know that. The club has a different opinion though unfortunately. I would bet my mortgage on who ever they sign for the RW spot will be coming in as back up to Hedges. We don't improve the first 11 as a rule here.

League 1 would be a decent level for him (if true of course)

We genuinely can't have Hedges Mr 1 goal all season as a winger, start this season

Forson would make sense over someone like Afolayan too. Forson only started one game all season for Monza last season. The club want someone to come in as back up to Hedges and be a "20/30 minute" player on that side much like Kargbo is on the other. He also isn't particularly quick I don't think, decent over the first 10 yards like ACD or Dolan but not a sprinter like Kargbo. I'm guessing he would jump at that squad role, where as someone experienced would want to be a starter.

Haven't we been linked with Omari Forson before?! @callumrovers usually you hear some things, is this what you've heard?

Most seasons under Venkys actually except for when Mowbray splurged on Gally and BBD

So deadline for Henriksson to be in the squad for WBA getting ever closer. Any bets on the Premier League loans supposedly in process?

Old rumour, the same journalist who first reported the Henriksson deal said that we enquired for Rosler but Malmo don't want to sell this summer. Could definitely see us revisiting that one next summer to replace Hyam. I believe this is the case, similar to Taveres who qualified for these reasons and didn't need a ESC spot. Yeah I saw that he said he was experienced and " a few quid". He doesn't know why it hasn't progressed. I can tell you Alan, it's all in you're words. Saw someone mention Dapo Afolayan, ex Bolton playing for St Pauli. 28 next month and one year left on his contract, wouldn't need a ESC spot either. Can't see us spending "a few quid" in general on one signing, but certainly don't see it on a near 28 year old winger. Someone like this seems much more likely to me, hardly played a professional game and on a long contract so could see a "loan to buy" deal or something.

If only we still had our best crosser of the ball!

they could really do with someone who can deliver a decent dead ball

With the exception of De Neve at 5'11" (still quite tall for a winger), all of our signings are at least 6'2", including Henriksson if he joins. I'm sure that's not a coincidence. Expecting a very physical style of play next season!

Brackley have replaced Morecambe in the National League Cup as announced on July 30th. Rovers are playing them next Tuesday. No mention of this on any Rovers social media.

750k could be very good business.

I have been impressed with how quickly we moved to JEs successor in VI. I am less then impressed by our lack of efforts or ability to tie down important first team members in new contracts. We don’t know the circumstances, but it seems as though we are keeping a very tight wage structure. This makes sense, but is very frustrating for us supporters. I don’t buy in to the mass exodus and it is always going to be a sell and buy industry. Lots of less than impressed supporters losing their favorite players every season. Transfers dragging out. Even well-run clubs like Brentford are facing those challenges. If I was in charge and somebody showed me the «result» of the last contract renewal which was so important to tie down; Bucko, Garrett etc I would question and be hesitant.

Wait for the usual suspect to tell us that couldn’t possibly improve gates here because half a dozen folk on brfcs say they are boycotting.

That's what trying looks like. Our lot can't be assed.
