Surely a deflated fee would be more advantageous from the club's perspective? Less pressure on the player, and the club doesn't look as wasteful if he turns out to be a flop.

He can play as an inverted winger on the right and would work well with Alebiosu, helping him defend as well, but reportedly we chased Morishita in the summer for a good while and he plays on the right, so not sure where we would fit Dønnum into our team at this moment. And the argument that his wife plays for Manchester United so he would want to move closer, doesn't make all that much sense either. I'm sure while pregnant that she'll spend more than enough time in France, even though she will probably still show up at United and do some work/training there to keep herself fit. We'll see...

Yes to be fair, having read the rovers press release, it does say undisclosed so not really on them.

Eboue Adams going to Pompey, very hot and cold player but hope it’s not one of those signings that just click and go on to bag a load of goals and drag them out of the battle

Im in no way trying to dig you out here.. but have you seen him play ? I am on the cautious side as i no nothing about him, and my head feels like it will be another henrikson. But heres hoping it he will be good. At least someone is in the door.

especially considering that whilst he has played as a wing back a few times, and is versatile. He is in fact a winger, and we do not play with those

Yes it never really made sense a regular starter in the French top division with a team who has played in Europe, capped for Norway multiple times and with a World Cup coming up…..to join a relegation fight in the championship? Doesn’t make any sense to me from the players behalf

I saw the bold part first and though that was a mad prediction of our formation before reading the rest

Historically a high scoring and entertaining match up at Portman Road 4-3, 2-2, 3-2 the last three. Difficult to see us even laying a glove on them tomorrow though, nevermind taking part in a goal fest 😵 Their home record is superb apart from a random 3 nil loss to Charlton thrown in there. I'm surprised bookies have them at 1/2, we've got no chance I'm afraid. Keep it respectable is about all we can hope for... As an aside wtf happened to our set pieces, thought we'd turned a corner after the Preston game and the new set piece coach was making a mark, dire since then 🤔

the big fee quote seems to have originated in Norways press Bodo Glimt paid about €3M for him 6 months ago, (although its likely that fee is also after add ons etc). so a fee that "could reach" €3.5M means they can claim a victory

Strange that the club are throwing out a big fee in the media for an incoming transfer when we generally hear it's undisclosed for outgoing ones. Have a feeling there's a fair bit of embellishment going on here to suggest ambition and to quell the unrest ahead of the boycott. On the flip side it's a blessed relief to see an attacking player through the door, just hope he's decent.

It was said a little tongue in cheek and i expect him to sign but there is always that niggle in my head when it comes to modern day Rovers

Dønnum or Cleary + Hardie on loan would be pretty good business.

As a Dane himself, Neo should know better 😉

Baradji isn't about his quality, it's all about proving his fitness. Don't see the rush in that one myself, the deal is in place so no worries. TGH I hope we find better. Decent squad player on a free, but shouldn't be a starter. I hope we can offer Tronstad a new deal, he's vital to this team and should be for another two or three seasons.

I imagine the next signing, if there is one will be a young prem loan.

Indeed, although in previous cases, this has resulted in the initial loans not completing as the EFL/FIFA/etc have stopped them from happening after checking the paperwork As his loan completed and he has played for us (unlike O'Brien, Brierley, McGuire), it is safe to assume everything is in order Not that I have any faith in Rovers not being inept, just that someone has checked their homework

If the paperwork was wrong we’d already know because the EFL would’ve rejected it in the summer.

There's an MJ that plays for LA Galaxy too

Perhaps AaB were due some instalments when Glimt face City in the CL, who knows. Could be a total package of €3.5m, but I can't see us pay too much at first. Everyone's waiting for Elliott to wake up and follow up on the Dønnum news. That transfer doesn't make too much sense at the moment, considering there's a world cup coming up and he's playing regularly (and well) for Toulouse.

Yea I'd like to see Moussa develop here I think there's alot more to see from him. Having the right players around could really spark things for him

Rovers are known for their scrupulous, impeccable handling of paperwork regarding players that are coming in through the door... 😁

Different Jørgensen?

He does not have a choice. he, his agent, & both clubs already signed the contract which became legally binding when his loan with us started The only party who can now back out is Rovers, by not activating the purchase option. Which if it is the rumoured £1.5M (ish), they would be mad to not trigger it Same applies to TGH, although in his case, the club would be mad to trigger the option
