I think if Montgomery is going to make it as far as the first team is concerned it’ll be in midfield.

Waiter waiter, my tomato soup has too much tomato in it

I often wonder how this clown has a role at this club in any capacity, but then we’ve had plenty of stains since the Venkys have been here so it’s not that surprising.

Good luck to him, it’s no great loss.

I honestly thought this was a transfer thread. So far, it’s been name calling, back biting and moaning about ex players. C’mon guys. We all want to see positive signings but the falling out on here is akin to playgrounds!

It really isn't necessary to keep on making your point over and over again. You're dominating this thread but not illuminating it.

Half of that up front, but an extra £4M in "achievable add ons" such as Rovers winning the 2022 World Cup, & Kapuadi being the first man on the moon

So we probably offered half of that.

De Neve has already scored in pre season, against Beck.

Dapper…..

We lost Szmodics - one player! From last season's squad we have lost half a dozen players who had proven Championship ability: Batth, Beck, Sanderson, JRC, Dolan and Weimann (4 of them big players for us last season). So far, we have not signed one replacement, let alone additional team improver, of Championship ability. Your comments in bold just underline to me that you are just trolling - have you really nothing better to do!?

Are you surprised 😂😂😂 We really think the signings we've made have been anywhere near the valuations quoted in the media? Absolutely bollocks. We've not got anything left in the kitty.

Judging on where Alebiosu played yesterday when he came on, I think he'd be better suited as a potential RW option. Certainly didn't play right back when he came on. Still think a winger will come in though on a permanent

€1.5m 🤔

New Steven Reid

Elliot said he was told that Baradji is seen as a "6 or a 8" (🤮) but i did wonder the same, seems to have played quite a few games at right midfield, and a few on the left over the past couple of seasons.

I realised, I did edit it straight away.

Yes but the point I’m making is it’s the exact same scenario we lost szmodics and brought in unproven foreign players - which for the overall team worked out better it’s not proven that will be the case again but to continuously say we will struggle when last season is proof that it won’t necessarily be the case is just strange to me

Gestede "exciting summer" fuck off.

Think most of us were surprised how last season went based on the previous season. I think at the moment we are considerably weaker than we were last season when comparing the number of players of proven ability at this level we have lost with the cheap and unproven foreign players we have brought in . Without at least 3 quality additions who automatically command starting places and improve our starting 11, I think we will struggle. That is my opinion as you are entitled to yours.

I wonder if Moussa Baradji was (and possibly still is) seen as the "right wing" option, someone to overload the centre whilst the right back overlaps. The current option there (Hedges) isn't one to hug the touchline either

Scroll on forever blue. If it’s not directed at you or concerns you then you have no reason to be involved

RW will be a loan, we won't spend the required money to get anyone decent permanently.

Mullarkey-Matthews has come off the bench on the right wing in each game in pre season, presumably because Rovers have not yet signed competition (it would be folly to expect anything more than competition) for Hedges. I cannot recall him ever playing right back (I think I may have seen him at wing back once or twice, but never right back) for the under age groups and am fairly certain he played on the wing in his loan stints at Bamber Bridge. Atcheson has come off the bench in each game in pre season apart from yesterday. personally think he needs a loan and regular minutes but can be a big player for us in the future, and one who is actually tied down to a long term contract which is like gold dust under our current owners Edit - Atcheson's minutes (roughly equates to about quarter of possible minutes played) Accrington game - 46 mins Everton game - 18 mins Qatar game - 30 mins Elche game - 0 mins

Maybe don’t do repeatedly, quoting the same post every time. That’s just trolling, and also very very boring.
