At a properly run club it wouldn't be an issue. There are plenty of minutes to go around and we ran Travis and Tronstad into the ground last season - both picked up significant injuries because they were overworked. At Rovers we're expecting an Academy player to back up our starter, so yeah it's unlikely to happen.

He's a better crosser than the lad we've just signed.

He is also contracted until 2028. I just don't imagine us paying a fee that someone under that length of contract would command.

One comment says "one of the best midfielders in Holland outside of playing for a top flight club" He's also captain for his current side. Theres no way he comes here to be backup. If it's a legit story then Travis or Tronstad will be leaving.

Yeah but at least Frank had managed at a decent level with Brondby, Andrews would be an insane appointment for a Premier league club

Don't even feed the press nowadays😕

Looking at the stats on whoscored, he was one of the top performers of the bottom 10 teams. If we are going for players from belgium and netherlands, I wish we would go for Mohamed ihattaren. Was a huge talent a few years back. Decent season, and His club got relegated this summer.

It's the three club rule. Though I imagine it's done with 2 clubs on occasion.

He looks like he can put a tackle in, has good technique and can get around the pitch. He looks like he fits with Val’s high tempo approach. BRFCS YouTube transfer committee says sign him up!

I clearly remember an AGM when Chairman Bill Fox, in an answer to a shareholder, clearly stated that there was evidence to show that Rovers had never changed their colours. He went on to say the only variation had been the shade of blue, and the founding colours were Cambridge blue and white quarters, or halves in modern parlance. I do wonder if the pictures showing a white shirt are in fact a very pale blue and white shirt which the quality of photography in the day, has has not picked up.

Sign that fella for the name alone. That aside, the fact that its come to battling Oxford to sign players says it all. The implosion when Travis gets sold and Forshaw returns as his replacement is going to be off the charts.

€3m euros or £700,000 ? Take your pick, certainly don't trust transfer market ! The truth probably somewhere in between.

Ok then 1 with a further year option in our favour. 🤣

We'll just be getting some arse covering from the club being fed to Nixon and the Venkygraph over the next few weeks. The club, or the stooges running it, will want to get the last word out. They won't be happy at all that the trio of Tronstad, Travis and Brittain have publicly confirmed the truth - that the club hasn't even made the effort to speak to them about new deals - this disrupts the club's spin that they are hard at work and trying to sort it out but the greedy players are holding out for something better. They succeeded on that con job with Lenihan, Nyambe, even Dolan. It isn't working on the others. So we will get bits in the press about this with the club trying to convince supporters they are trying, when most of us know they aren't.

Blessed are the Keersmaeckers.

It is the question that should be painted in 10ft high letters around the walls of Ewood Park. We just need to get some of those shady arseholes who ride around pulling wheelies and being antisocial wankers to take a few quid, a few beers and a few lines of Bolivian Marching Powder to do the leg work.. I'm sure a few cans of luminous graffiti paint can be left judiciously around the stadium to facilitate the operation... Sorta like...

Obviously not solely to blame but fully complicit.

Maradona, perhaps?

Sorry can't help on the signatures Clitheroe, but @MaxPhythian collects and maybe able to help. @MaxPhythian - I'm still looking for a signed shirt from the Kendall era, I know you have one 🤣

I am skeptical of the rumour, especially as Mercer has jumped on it and claimed his famously wide of the mark "sources" think its true. Bur wanting O'Neil wouldnt be good PR. He is a shit manager. Equally, I dont get how you can pin what happened to Eustace on Waggott.

I wouldn't try to defend Waggott at any price. Neither liked nor trusted the guy. Think the Eustace 'issue' actually goes back to last summer which seemingly led to Eustace putting himself on the market (how many jobs did he supposedly apply for - at least 3 spring to mind) some months before his almost inevitable departure. I heard the O'Neil link from who I would regard as a strong source. Was never keen on Waggott from day one but his card was properly marked with his cack-handed efforts to sell Brockhall (or part of) some 4/5 years ago for housing.

Initial thoughts are he looks more suited to be a Tronstad replacement.

I'd say we have 3 truly world class players in kane Bellingham rice
