Middlesboro according to SKY have sold a midfielder to Southampton for £15m . We did a great deal for Wharton , didn't we ?

Harry Leonard - Top player, injuries have blighted his career so far but if he can shake them off, has a VERY high ceiling! I’m gonna stick my neck out and say this will be the sale we will live to regret. We shouldn’t be selling him. Arggghh

Sad to see Harry go, but the best for both parties. Hope he thrives and smashes it!

Difficult to remember a window as crazy as this in my time watching Rovers. Think we are nowhere near finished yet either.

Let us see IF the new striker is better , than Leonard . Rarely happens with this regime .

2-1 Rovers and i wanna see the helicopter (not that one...) to win the game

Always take the kids something then begrudgingly pay for pint

Sorry to see Leonard go. Thought there was good potential there.

Good move and correct decision IMO...Never getting a game here, especially if we're bringing in another attacker.

I'm sold. Let's get him then profit.

All the best to the lad. Hope he smashes it!

Good deal. getting 7 figures for him, Buckley and JRC isn’t bad.

1M bid with add ons accepted for Leonard, poor decision that very talented player. Very good signing for Peterborough this.

£1m + sell on %

Now, Martin at Rangers is funny! He needs to stay on a bit longer

At least its better than some clubs. Stockport refuse to let you take any food and drink into their ground. Their prices made ours look a real bargain!

I have big pockets.

I wasn’t even joking I’d pull him here on a skateboard 🤣

Man, I remember when we signed this guy. I was on holiday with the mrs, perched up on a bar stool to grab a drink and they had sky sports news on, saw that we'd signed him and I was absolutely buzzing. Luckily the mrs doesn't follow football at all, so I don't think she remembers/cares that I old her he was going to be a class signing.

Nothing posted on court website yet. Usually takes a day or two to catch up.

I think he was referring to the season when in January we were up in the top 2. We was never close to promotion at any other point so it wouldnt fit otherwise. And for your "insider information," seems a bit of a convenient mystery bit of gossip to me. When we got promoted, he did willingly spend a big chunk of money. But it all comes back to this ridiculous idea that he actively moved away from trying to get promoted, even though he would have got a big pay rise, bonuses, a huge raise to his reputation/CV and most likely a further increase through a new deal. Im not trying to defend him. He is a good but limited manager, limited by his own principles and lack of ruthlessness. If he didnt chase up more funds by his own admission then he made a mistake. But I am not so blinded by hate that I start escalating that to nonsense about him purposely not getting us promoted, pretending that he turned down massive war chests etc. None of it makes sense.

He only went to Stuttgart on a free as he didn’t manage to score in his 23 top flight games the season before, he actually left Bremen with 2 league goals in 51 games. Kind of similar to this lad tbf as he had a great season on loan in the lower leagues and then couldn’t make the step up, left on a free after a poor season and then smashed it at the U21 euros and got a decent return for Stuttgart. Im sure if we’d got Woltamade free last season people would have been concerned as he’d come off the back of a bad season and had only scored in the lower German leagues (think Telelovic).

No it wasn't - it was immediately after we got promoted from League 1. Stop trying to twist the facts to try and defend him. That window you're on about I was also told by someone whose source was allegedly Waggott himself that Venky's offered Mowbray a substantial war chest (in addition to the promotion bonuses which were actually published in the LT) which he declined to use. So any suggestion that Rothwell needed to be sold to raise funds that window is nonsense as far as Im concerned

Re Smit… “It’s a big risk!!!….” Ermmmm yes!! Every signing we make is a huge risk because we don’t have the money to have someone nailed on. If he had scored 22 in the second division and then 15 last season his price tag would be 5-10m now. The lad who’s signing for Newcastle went to Stuttgart for free last summer and is about to be sold for £69m! With every one of these players, we’re hoping to pick them up and hit that hockey curve moment. At least at 22, the Dutch lad has time and room to grow. I still don’t reckon we’ll sign him or Soumane. The art of misdirection…👀

Like Mark said... Isn't this a non starter as we have no ESC slots left? Regardless, sounds very Telalovic mk2
