We will be continually linked with players we have no intention of signing throughout the entire Transfer Window. This is a distraction tactic they have been using for years now. Not worth discussing 95% of them.

Well obviously that's what we have to do. As things stand right now, just over a week from returning to pre season training, we are weaker than last season. I will be amazed if that isn't also the case some September 1st.

Yeah but Duru, Garrett, & O'Riordan are back. Like new signings.

Why don't we wait to see who we sign and what squad we have firstly?

That’s a different 90% than he had requested.

Carter is 25 years old and 26 in December baffling that

Ismael is going to be really pleased when they all report back to pre-season with 1 new player and 10+ gone.

Norwich want Dolan Liam Manning has spoken to Championship ace since taking over at Norwich City, he 'would like' to sign him

You are certainly in a minority of one with this one though.

I don't particularly rate him, everyone else seems to. That's cool. A lot of people didn't even rate Raya. Our former manager included.

How about the player of the year?

Travis, Beck was top class, Brittain was very good last year, Dolan's decent at this level, Ohashi and Gueye are good value considering what we paid for them. Carter still has potential and I rate Scott Wharton subject to fitness. That do you? Edit: And Batth

Absolutely. I haven't been a fan of him really since he was appointed, and a 6 game good run at the end of the season hasn't really changed my mind either. Lets see how he goes next season, unfortunately for him I think he will be hampered with a weaker squad than he has had this season. My point being you can't make a holier than thou comment like the above because people are frustrated about us not offering him a proper deal when you have been guilty of a swing of opinion many times in the past.

You don't seem to rate many players.

Irrelevant to us as he wont be signing here. Only relevance is how much compensation goes into the owners pockets. They are feeding out shite about not offering him a new deal yet to respect his right to a holiday. Some people will follow that shit, but many will see through that and ask why a proper contract hasnt gone in front of him and the others long before now. Seems we put one in front of him ages ago which was clearly not satisfactory and have just not bothered to offer something proper. Now its too late.

Yes as I fully explained but they were plenty of others who had similar opinion possible even yourself. Also wouldnt say I am biggest fan either. I hope he does well here cos that means Rovers are doing well

Someone at the Club or connected with the Club is doing a cracking job of linking us to players we've no intention whatsoever of signing. Makes us look like we're doing something I suppose. Edit: Whoops Mark beat me to it.

My point was about formal contract offers from other clubs NOT Rovers.

Some people, plenty of others have thought for a long time that he’s a handy (and now fairly experienced) Championship player… but of course such a player would quite rightly expect the going rate.

Wants to go back to Belgium apparently

100% that's what's happening. Both Sagnan and Antman have been linked but in both cases it's come to light shortly after that their valuation is £4m+, which is way beyond anything we'd be spending, meaning we were never genuinely looking to sign them.

11 days (30th june)

Selling Pears would open up for a Kaminski return!

Get Kaminski back!

Trondstad and Brittain to sign new deals..... Unsure on Travis... Pears, JRC and Buckley will surely leave this window.
