We all know what comes next. England will have 2+ days to chase 275 and we’ll get bowled out for under 200 slogging.

But spending up front would be an advantage as it’s a rolling cycle so no ‘long term’ championship club has that luxury. I agree the rules are as clear as mud - in terms of promoted clubs they say what they must do (provide the figures as I mentioned earlier) but don’t make clear as to why they must do this. In terms of their spending - their turnover was above ours* in their league two season (for reasons I seem to recall you alluding to earlier) and presumably has only continued to grow. Whether this assumed increase is enough to keep them within whatever FFP rules apply to them I guess only time will tell. * I think this is correct, if not it was very close to being so.

Paper Lace - Billy, Don’t Be a Hero

England's morning with ball and bat, well on top and then throw it away with the usual batting collapse Match finely balanced and tilted towards India if anything. England, minus Woakes, will have to bowl well

Seems you were right in it being posted on Twitter days earlier. However, just seems strange no one, including yourself, on this MB who uses Twitter posted about it despite the concerns expressed by a number of posters on the Pre Season thread about the lack of a friendly game for this coming weekend. Those posters included Chaddy who claims he saw the Twitter post yet made posts on 20 July about behind closed door friendlies being arranged for this weekend. What I posted about the Netherlands' friendly on 20 July was to my knowledge not in any media, news or social, that I use. As stated earlier today, I was told about the friendly by a Rovers' employee.

Then why would you say you haven’t seen it anywhere else if you don’t include Twitter which is one of if not the most common source for transfer information? Think about it And while your thinking about it I hope your ready to apologise to rovers99 for pretty much calling him a liar

Go on?

Gueye offers a different dynamic to the team. Think we'll regret it if he does go.

Not sure if already said but the guy who has stated about Gueye bid is the same guy who called his move to us last year and also called the De Neve transfer. Very reliable

I like Gueye, but any gulf club could offer him 10x more wages, and probably give Pasha a profit on resale which is all he cares about; ditto for Brittain in that regard. Been rumors all summer that Ismael didn't think Gueye fits his style, based on games last season rather than actually watching preseason. I think it would be a shame to lose his power and size as an option up top, and he's a great personality to have in the squad. We were linked to a Nkada from Ligue 2 in France earlier in summer so might be him; or even we go back for Guebbells.

It isn’t pululu

Would I be Delulu if I suggested who I thought the winger/striker we are in for if we're throwing Gueye out the door

Unbelievable ignorance. Is Twitter the only social media platform that folk post on? Is this MB not a social media platform? Have you not heard of NewsNow which collates gossip, speculation and news from wide ranging sources? What I have just posted is in good faith based on what a very good source has told me. It is not muck spreading. For the umpteenth time, I do not use Twitter. Might have escaped your notice but between my posting about a Rovers announcement about Brittain's contract and the Stanley game, Middlesbrough made their move which changed everything.

I'd say if they've got big money to throw down then fair play but we won't hardly see a fucking penny... So no point selling him. They'll definitely entertain offers though and wouldn't be surprised if his agent knows the magic number and has been doing his best to find a buyer.

Don't know why. We dont seem to think forwards matter this season.

No way should we be selling Gueye this season.

Or respond or apologise to rovers99 for saying his information was erroneous and a figment of his imagination

Gueye to Al Wadha? Venky stooges could be toasting a very good week indeed if they can sell him and Brittain!

What do you get out of spreading so much muck btw? Notice you didn’t quote tweet yourself saying Britain signed a new contract 😂

Im glad you said it, it's what I've been thinking! What are the chances of some sort of mystery problem causing the Miller deal to collapse in best O Brien/Mcguire/Baradji fashion? Followed by RG telling us how it's an "exciting opportunity" for the other RB we signed to show what he can do.

Your not on Twitter so how would you know?

Told Rovers have had a winger at Brockhall this week from overseas. Not clear atm what the next steps are. Unless I have missed it, not seen mention of this anywhere.

we tried our hardest but just could`nt get the deal done,(after miller signs for blackpool or similar),we just can`t match their wage offer😃

That's the Rovers we know and love
