So according to you nobody wants Dolan.

Yet he won't entertain signing another contract here. Why?

Surely if he hasn't had any decent offers elsewhere he would have been more inclined to reopen talks or sign a contract with us?

He will 100% have offers like 

Not what I said. He knew for months he was leaving so how come he didn't have a club line up or the fact isn't been 3 weeks since he left us officially but still no club. Thats my point.

How many other teams Academy players does he make regular column news out of, ones that are so called under bids....

Im guessing we will have a very quiet week this week with everyone (presumably) away in Spain.

We dont seem to have been linked to very many attacking players and those we have have seemingly been bogus. Hopefully we can get some in before the season starts. Hard to not see Hedges starting the season and probably lingering indefinitely.

Based on the selections for the first 2 friendlies, it feels like many of the places are locked down in terms of building for West Brom. De Neve, Ribeiro and  Ohashi over Kargbo, Pickering and Gueye. Only question mark is perhaps between Wharton and McLoughlin. The latter has had some pre season minutes too.

I think you might read too much into the friendly selections tbh. Certainly in previous seasons they haven't always reflected who is first choice.

Nixon saying we’re back in for Bardji. Only now the contract is “pay as you play”. No idea what that means but no way he accepts it. If he does we should immediately convert Caters contract to the same. 

Don't we (Venkies) have history of freezing players out on deals like this, right before the higher wages kicks in.  Correct me if I am wrong, y'all usually do.

Yeah, I hate to give up on a player, when we need players. But, he’s already out 4-6 weeks. I don’t see him ever being a healthy, consistent performer for Rovers. 

Sadly it looks like he is just one of the players cursed by recurring injuries.  Wharton is a bit of a worry for me too.

Ideal world yes but I think it's fanciful to think that Brittain, Travis and Tronstad will all be here come end of the window.

I am REALLY surprised Derby have not been sniffing round Cantwell yet too.  I fully was expecting SOMEONE to try a low ball offer.  

[roversfan99]

One thing that I didn't realise, and obviously its not why you buy a defender.

McLoughlin didnt score a single goal for Hull in 6 years. He scored more for us in a Hull shirt than for Hull. Quite a surprise considering his height.

Although.......the fact that Dolan hasn't moved yet is being held up in certain quarters as evidence he isn't that good.

Whereas the fact there's never any interest in Tronstad is no reflection whatsoever on his ability apparently.

I don't necessarily disagree with that, Personally i just think Tronstad is pretty ordinary and nowhere near as good as he's cracked up to be. I know most people think differently.

You can't have the argument both ways though. I dont think the fact Dolan hasnt chosen his new Club after 21 days is any particular reflection on his ability either.

We are all well aware of your opinion on Tronstadt, you never miss anchance to remind us all of that .  The glaring difference which seems to have no besring on your opinion Rev is Tronstandt is here and not being shopped around by an agent.  He's not a glamour boy for sure but he's solid.  Did we replace your fave player with him or something?  Reminds me a.lot of how you were with the full back whose name escapes me Curtis was it?  The one you favoured.
