2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

He always does this, just throws stuff like this out there with no source. Presumably in desperation to share the story first.

Its that Howard RV/Mercer twitter account it seems that has suggested this. An account that has a track record of making stuff up.

He did however make 29 appearances total, and was subbed onto the pitch every single time he was on the bench. It suggests strongly that he and another player were being intentionally rotated to keep them fresh. It's not as damning as you make out.

And if we really have paid 2 million Euros (dubious obviously but let's assume a second since it's the only fee reported) of course they've sold him a year after joining - that's 5 times what they paid. Knowing our lot, there is no way in hell our opening bid was anything like that. Which means they held out for a much bigger fee and weren't that keen to sell him.

It wasnt meant as a criticism of him. Just that he has very little senior experience.

And Wharton shouldn’t be any more than a squad player either. 

i don`t think wharton will be the same player,he`s had a snapped achilles and a snapped ligament in his knee,the kind of injuries that take yards of pace out of you and he  never quick to start with,id`e be very pleasantly surprised if he can still compete at this level

I dont know why you believe that account, similar if not worse accuracy than his account on here. 

Even less so do I get why you post without just saying thats where you got it from so people can believe/discard as they see fit.

Roy Wegerle is supposed to be coming back to play

Stick a massive promotion add on in there then do everything you can to hamper promotion. A foreign team having a quick gander at our league finish last season could easily think a promotion bid is a possibility this season too I suppose....

As of  31st March ‘24 we had £3,237,414 of future fee payment liabilities contingent on promotion to the PL.

I wouldn’t put it past our lot to see avoiding having to pay this sum as a positive.

61 games I make it. Including a couple of Prem appearances for Leicester. It's not a great amount at 23, but I'm not too concerned by it. The main worry is if we have spent any serious money on him we are very likely selling Travis, and therefore this lad needs to be as good right now just for us to tread water this season. I don't think the odds of that are that good, as Trav is a seasoned campaigner who knows the club and knows the league, has proven he can be one of the better CMs in the league, and of course is our captain to boot so we probably lose something in the dressing room.

In the highly unlikely event we keep all the three Ts and have enough budget to spend elsewhere, it would make sense as a supplementary signing with potential to improve and phase out the others as they age. But that would only happen at a properly ran club.

As I have said before, I AM NOT ONE OF THE TWATTERATI.

Do you have difficulty reading and understanding?

I don't give a feck what this bloke on Twitter posts.  By all means have a go at me (though you do seem to have an unhealthy obsession with me) but don't attribute comments from someone else on another social media platform to me.

I think many were for the Porto B side though. Although it does seem like they are in the second tier in Portugal. I think he played at Ewood when they played our under 21s.

As you touch on. If hes to supplement Tronstad and Travis (or replacements) then all good. If hes expected to replace either, a worry.

Apologies, my mistake. 

Although does in my defence have a very similar posting style and opinions.

Apart from the RV account no other links to Guindo I can see. Nixons reply last night about Rothmanns, not sure if that’s a slang for something or a clue to next target

Style and opinions!

Well Byron, Keats, Shelley and Wordsworth were all poets who were thought to have a similar writing style!

As for opinions, 90%+ of a political party share the same opinions, don't they?

I am not unique and don't pretend to be and I am pretty sure there are many out there with both similar opinions and similar ways of expressing themselves.

I'll leave it there.

This guy is clearly a mentally unwell man with nothing better to do 

[joey_big_nose]

Well we seem to be going all in on the left field signings. Would love to know how the transfer strategy is working behind the scenes. Already up to six with no British league experience before rovers (Tronstad, Ohashi, Gueye, Kargbo, De Neve, Sid - well, hes had a few games at Leicester but not much). Dont think we have had more than one or two non UK experienced players at Rovers since we left the Premier League.

Quite like all of Tronstad, Ohashi, Gueye and Kargbo so hopeful the new guys can keep in the same vein or better.

the strategy,just sign anyone who`s cheap and is`nt going to ask for decent wages then get rid of the ones who are

[B16Rover]

The nicest thing I can say about Guindo after watching his YouTube highlight reel, is that he may make Kargbo look a much better player

Do you have to be 30+ to sign for Eustace?

And this would be my massive issue with Eustace, it’s short term thinking and we cannot survive on this model. I’m actually excited by the pace and power that appears to be coming into the side!

[roversfan99]

Not sure any of the ever changing models weve gone for in the last 15 years are workable either to be fair.

Agreed ages ago but buried until we'd got some signings in, hide bad news behind good.
