All Activity

The latest was they were "in talks about making is move permanent" or words to that effect Given that the option was already agreed in the summer, & doesn't require any talks (it just needs activating), I would assume there is no news

whats the latest of baradji signing permantly

That 5th line can all go as far as I'm concerned

sounds about right,let there late and then you don`t have to pay for an evening meal,get 4 of them to share a room as well🙂 that was the waggot way

Don't understand anyone who doesn't approve of the owners and who wants new ownership (of which I assume you're one) being opposed to the boycott. If there's anyone left who either thinks they are decent owners or that no-one would ever buy us (and there certainly seem to be a few on that other site) then fair enough I can understand it.

It's definitely a punt, any striker from the Scandinavian league would be. On the other hand, who could you get with Championship experience and a proven goal record for 3.5 mill and 10k a week? Ryan Hardie is probably the only that springs to mind, and would make sense to me.

you have to question why bodo glimt signed jorgenson in the summer and are offloading him a couple of months later,take no notice of the quoted "3.5 million" either,sidnei was touted as costing 2 million but thats obviously a load of ****,it pays not to believe anything that comes out of ewood

Reduce costs further and tighten deadly duo control?

Rovers team used to train Friday mornings then travel down in the afternoon for away games. Distance ones they used to fly or occasionally the train but in the Waggot era i got told his method was train Fri afternoon and travel in the evening for distance games. Not sure if true or if it makes a difference or not.

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

So we have loaned a midget centre half from Brighton (echoes of JPvH in our dreams), successfully tempted a winger cum forward from 32nd place in the Champions League, Gueye is teaching Shanghai how to trap a ball and Mercer is a hero. Have I missed anything?

There has been a huge inflation in Scandinavia the last few years when it comes to transfer fees. This has especially been fuelled by the extensions of the European cups. Qualifying even just for the Group stage in Conference League has filled up coffers. It has also driven up the fee as clubs are more reluctant to sell when there is a 10mill pound European ticket in their sights. When you compare Ipswich paying 20 mill for Walle Egeli, 3.5 for Jørgensen is probably the going rate. Jørgensen was tracked by Bodø Glimt for several years before buying him last summer. They are loaded after qualifying for Champions League so they would never let him go on the cheap. The contract length seems reasonable to protect the investment. You're not giving a 2-year contract to a 3.5 mill signing to see him walk for free after 2 years. Given our inability to renew contracts it's probably better to give longer contract up front. If he doesn't work out, there will be plenty of takers for a reduced fee. Scandinavian clubs have a good track record of buying back "failed" players.

Too far on the bus?

More chance of finding a hens tooth stuck in your boiled egg than Rovers winning down there. The bogeyest of bogey grounds for us it really must be the journey down that Blackburn teams don't like.

And there you have it.

Always a lovely flight IME.

I don’t think he does (too few minutes).

The kind of game I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a win but also equally wouldn’t be surprised to see us get tonked. In other words this post added no value whatsoever!

Tears for Fears - Pale Shelter (could be their best track ever)

Sorry to those making the trip at the time they've chosen to start this. Portman Road isn't the easiest ground to get to for opposition fans and we - or they - have put people out of their way again with selecting a stupid kick off time that's only going to inconvenience a certain many. McKenna just received another MOTM award but it was well deserved. Obviously you don't get to see all that goes on here but we've beaten leaders Coventry comfortably home and away in the last month as well as picking up other standout results. After a slow start we have now showed peoples expectations and progressing as we should. I'd hope to see Szmodics involved against you tomorrow at some stage as since we brought him in the player just hasn't lived up to expectation and seems at times surplus to future plans or on the verge of being sold or loaned out. Hirst won't be involved so essentially you're looking at Azon leading the line with others like Philogene, Nunez and Burns playing their part further behind. We'll start as favourites and expected to win or least take something from it but sport is fickle at this level and open to all manner of outcome. This week back in 1996 we won against you in an FA Cup replay game when you were premier league champions where no-one thought it were possible. Point being all these years later maybe Rovers can do something similar from the other end of the spectrum.

Bloody hell , I had forgotten all about that one !

Direct flights from Oslo to Manchester though 🤙

For the poor budget we are afforded I see this comment a lot even from Val himself who would qualify as being a good champ signing up front with a proven record that’s within our budget and being a realistic option for us? I struggle to think of any

Vertical Stabilizer.

At the moment, barring more signings, its sell/loan 2 from these Toth, Pears Cashin, Pratt Wharton, McLoughlin O'Riordan, Carter Hedges, Pickering, Ribeiro, De Neve Cantwell, Henriksson, Garrett Tronstad, Forshaw, Tavares Baradji, Morishita, TGH Alebiosu, Miller Ohashi, Jorgensen Gudjohnsen, Kargbo I wood assume Garrett & one of the "left wing backs"
