I bet you a donation to a charity of your choosing at the end of the season if I do a poll of BRFCS members, Sidnei isn’t rated higher than Travis or Tronstad.

Must be closing on centre back signing?

Eustace wants only certain style of players and you can see that through his time at Birmingham and Us. He prefers the UK market. He wanted more control over signings and who the club signs. He wasn't going to get that here. He has more say in transfers at Derby and you see that with his first signings. Morris is a target striker he wants, Batth and Weimann are experience players who fits his style. He is also targeting Dion Sanderson.

Glastonbury today, it’s not mine, but I applaud you:

Those new interviews and the access allowed again is ridiculous. Americanised bollocks. Get in the bin.

O’Riordan To Donny - Good loan for him that.

Can you DM me the numbers for the next euro millions? We've not seen enough from Kargbo but on his small cameo he's been half decent. How on earth can you say Sidnei is 'nowhere' near the quality if we've not even seen him kick a ball 😂😂 that did make me laugh like.

George Hirst was, and still is wank!! Just because he was in a team that got promoted and got a few games in the EPL doesn't mean he's any good... I'd be be gutted if we signed Hirst.

Is he proven at Championship and what wages are QPR offering considering that Birmingham were offering 30k was the rumour. Can you say he is worth that wage? standard line from yourself very good post. We got a scout who left Man Utd and we appointed him here and we appointed Dundee United DoF as one of our lead scout You mean George Hirst who JDT couldn't get firing but McKenna did helping them to get 2 promotions.

Standard practice in America sports and the PL is appealing more to the fans over there and don't forget that NBC Sports in America covers PL over there. NBC's owners Comcast owned Sky aswell He need a good experience staff around him and a number 2 who is align with him.

They do! They want to make sure, we are relegated this Season!

..Then what?☠️

I still don't get the discrepancy between peoples opinions on Hyam and Carter. Carter is the one partner that Hyam struggled with, at times as they were excellent together in Hyam's first season. When Carter has played in the last 2 years, he has individually been poor. Hyam had a really good season just gone whilst Carter either was playing poorly or sat on the sidelines, yet the conclusion from that weirdly is that Hyam's reputation hasn't improved, and Carter's hasn't declined. I do think that an experienced head does bring more out of Batth, but I don't get why it's just been concluded that specifically with Carter, it's as if the flaws of them playing together are solely down to Hyam.

Blackpool have made some good signings. Hopefully they get promotion this season.

Fair enough

I know it doesn't fit the narrative, that's why it's never been considered. Playing well as a partnership means complementing each other.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how old Keith does at Brentford. It'll look like a monumentally stupid decision if they go down, as they're in a position now where they'd be attractive to a range of decent, experienced managers. If they stay up and have an OK season then fair enough, it'll vindicate a process which - to be fair to them - has worked really well so far.

That’s a plan from people who have no idea what brings success to a club. You need a solid squad irrespective of age. Promising youngsters should be introduced into a solid first team, not be its entire makeup.

Arguably we’re now in my least enjoyable phase of being a Rovers fan under Venkys - it’s the moment when the Sky Sports Orange Ticker generation get total blinkers and start to totally ignore reality. Kargbo is Dolan’s replacement. He’s worse. Batth is our best centre half. None of our others are close, but Carters our next best option. We can bid for this Polish league CB as much as we want, they won’t sell him cheap and we won’t offer enough money or wages. Sidnei is nowhere near the quality of Travis or Tronstad. De Neve is a total unknown and a gamble. Every single player we sign is the cheap option. Because that’s what Venkys and Pasha do. There won’t be a significant upgrade in any department - because upgrades cost money. The more you try to justify or have false hope into these people the more upset you will end up being. You simply cannot bring success when the MO is to make savings. Improvement costs money.

Honestly can't stand reading any more of thie shit on here. I'm done until the season starts

10K/WK ceiling, No contract offers with players already on more. Hyam, Tronstad, Travis. Bath the first of many. Ask Suhail. Cheap foreign imports and academy lads. Welcome to the future.

has hyam ever been a leader???he`s been shocking with some centre back partnerships,remember the 0-5 battering at bristol city and the atroticious defending losing 2-3 at hull over christmas in jdt`s tenure

Letting Baath leave is criminal. It just screams that they don’t know what they’re doing.

Good point on partners, it's never considered that it may well have been Hyam bringing out the best in Batth, that wouldn't do.

It's an undisclosed fee, right? I reckon they've just wilfully failed to correct the fee bandied around.
