Christopher Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago 3 hours ago, MarkBRFC said: Best way at looking at this transfer window so far is, has our first 11 improved on last season? Is McLoughlin better than Batth? Is De Neve better than Dolan? They are so far the only changes to our "best 11" that finished last season. The answer to me is pretty clear. De Neve replaces Beck. Tyjon replaces Dolan as a ten.Β Quote
RevidgeBlue Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Just now, Christopher said: De Neve replaces Beck. Tyjon replaces Dolan as a ten.Β Interesting take. Weaker at LB then imo. Tyjon COULD be sensational. But do you think he'll feature enough to be considered a Dolan replacement? If he does, might be an inspired move. Quote

roversfan99 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Its obviously not a linear comparison for De Neve to replace anyone. You could argue that Ribeiro replaced Beck. He came in when Beck got injured.Β De Neve will play where Hedges played with Hedges where Dolan was so I suppose thats the closest comparison. Tyjon is currently in the place of Weimann. Either way, if Tyjon gives the output that Dolan or Weimann gave us then its an excellent breakthrough season. (And I suspect only season) But a huge ask. 3 Quote
roversfan99 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Ash Phillips has rejoined Stoke and their fans are buzzing. This will take him to 2 and a half years of (almost certainly) regular first team football so will leave him in really good stead. Wrexham are starting to get busy. They have signed Hardie and now Windass who both will give them added goals. They signed a Kiwi left back, Thomason as a squad player from Bolton and still seem strong on chasing O'Brien. Quote

ROVER_N_OUT1978 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Timothee Nkada linked from Ligue 2 but two other clubs also mentioned so take it with a pinch of salt. Quote

They won't come close to going down. I'd say they're more likely to go up than down (to be clear I don't think they're very likely to go up either). I can practically guarantee that within 3 years they'll be finishing higher in the league than us, if not this season. Quote

Thanks for that delightful internal representation burned into my mind now..Β π€£ I couldn't care less about JE. I think he is a good manager, but I have no idea what he is like as a person. Same for VI - to be fair, certain Scottish historical figures apart, it isn't possible to break into management without having something about you, and a modicum of credibility. Have we made progress this close season? Errrr.... VENKYS OUT! Quote

Agree to disagree...Just take a look at their squad...They may have money but they need to invest in it properly. They then need a decent manager...Phil Parkinson is not that man, you have to agree with me there...I don't think he lasts till Xmas...Then it will take more than Disney to employ the right man to take them forward.Β Β Β Quote

Always thought djiksteele was a solid rb when I saw him , tbh Iβd rather strengthen in more key areas like striker, right wing, donβt think itβs great to have rb as our best player.
