Are you accounting for player development? Also at RB, our new signings being stronger than JRC is a claim. You must have seen something definitive? The ability to run, for a start. 😉 3 Quote

Are you accounting for player development? Also at RB, our new signings being stronger than JRC is a claim. You must have seen something definitive? As per the post you’re quoting I gave the context for why I think we’re stronger. RB - last season JRC was shite/injured and contributed nothing from RB. We have now signed an actual RB who plays in the way the manager wants i.e. quick and athletic, everything JRC isn’t. It’s a clear improvement in that area given the context. Quote

RevidgeBlue Posted July 28 Posted July 28 2 minutes ago, Forever Blue said: What? Fairly simple point - thought we were discussing whether we were weaker or stronger than last season - on the assumption Brittain is going to be sold - you need to be comparing the new bloke to Brittain not JRC who never played.

My original post was based on the squad we have now. If you want to make a different post on the squad you’re assuming we have when the transfer window closes then crack on.  Fairly simple really. 2 Quote
London blue Posted July 28 Posted July 28 12 minutes ago, Forever Blue said: Nope, we now have 2 actual RB’s competing for a position. It’s not difficult, although I can see now why you’re struggling. One of whom has played a handful of minutes, so you're making assumptions on his ability as an actual RB. Quote
Forever Blue Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Just now, London blue said: One of whom has played a handful of minutes, so you're making assumptions on his ability as an actual RB. Yeah, he’s a RB. Correct. The bloke who’s gone to Charlton contributed nothing from RB last season. That’s isn’t an assumption.  The manager has stated he brought in the new RB because of the qualities he has. That isn’t an assumption. He sold JRC cos he didn’t have those qualities. That isn’t an assumption. Based on those things my OPINION (another concept you’re struggling with) is that we are stronger.  The fact it needs to be repeatedly explained to you is quite bizarre😆 2 Quote

But Ok - if you're a member of the flat earth society along with chaddy - you feel free to crack on under that assumption as well! Quote
Forever Blue Posted July 28 Posted July 28 (edited) I don’t understand the pay as you play bit? So we’re going to pay the same fee for the player, but only offer him a pay as you play deal? Seems a very odd approach. If they have serious doubts on his fitness then why are they signing him? Edited July 28 by Forever Blue 1 1 Quote

I don't get this situation. He's either injured and therefore can't/shouldn't play or he's actually fit to play. Rumours were the medical flagged up a stress fracture in his foot? There must be treatment for this type of injury, even if it's just rest and therefore we can decide if he'd be worth signing or not. 1 Quote

More he plays the more the selling club gets. Wouldn’t be the players wages. Wouldn’t benefit Rovers as he won’t be on much. Quote
