Good luck to the lad but the Dolan scenario was a once in a generation type thing so any chance of a repeat is slim to non.

I don't think the Dolan (who was 18 not 17) scenario is the intention with signing such young players. The intent is to see if they can develop (and sometimes just to fill spaces at youth level or let someone else go on loan).

But they already released him once and probably wouldn't go near it again if he wasn't free.

Stunning recruitment.

Why would we wait until January? He's playing in the Swiss league and we have two CMs that didn't make it till January 2025 before their bodies broke down, and another two in Tavares and Forshaw who are both entering the new season with injuries.

Heart says try and get Baradji in, but head says change targets and bring in someone different. Mannsverk is a good, solid option.

To see if this mystery injury holds up, that's if it actually exists....

I wouldn't even be bothering unless he's an exceptional talent personally but what do I know.

As Stanley are really struggling, you'd think the very best players from their academy would have moved into the first team squad when they shut the academy. They regularly feature 18 year olds each season to some degree.

He played an EFL Trophy game for them last season.

Can someone please name the signings who are going to start the first game of the season and make a difference?

Ideally would like Rudy Gestede to answer that.

Embarrassing stuff. Get the owner's to INVEST properly in the first XI before it's too late.

That means at least...... a winger (or 2), a STRIKER, an established centre midfielder and an athletic centre back!

It's a bit of a joke isn't it.

As much as many people didn't like Dolan..he was a first team player. 

Don't think we have replaced let a lone upgraded

Don't worry,  Forever Blue will be along to convince you the squad has improved and  is now stronger than last year.

Yep, if only we'd have made no signings whatsoever in any position, we'd have been so strong we'd have romped the League by 10 points!

In the words of one of our most positive posters

It's probably about the time we need VI to "do a JDT or Eustace" and threaten to walk out if there aren't any serious attempts at recruitment.

Sadly I'm guessing he's not that man, indeed in public he's been professing his happiness about how well things are going and the state we are in.

He was hardly injured last season and was in the team or on the bench for Plymouth most of the time so no reason why he wouldn't be fit. 

The run up to him signing for Rovers is listed below. The longest spell he had last season without making any first team appearances was the 4 game run in March / April whilst he was at Ewood. 

He was hardly like Dennis who hadn't kicked a ball in a first team for almost a year. Nor had he missed loads of training through injury last season. Therefore I'm not sure how you can say he wasn't fit.

He appeared better as the season went on because he wasn't starting. He was generally coming on when we were shutting up shop and had less ground to cover.

That looks to be his best position, seeing a game out.

He's probably happy about how things are going,if it's going as expected. Can't grumble about pre season . 

[Ossydave]

When VI came here his stock wasn't particularly high and doubt he had offers piling up.

JDT had just won a few titles and his managerial career was on the up.

To a lesser extent Eustace will have had interested parties too, his time at Brum ended prematurely in most people's eyes.

There was probably much less of a reason to sell VI the dream, aka blatantly bullshit to him, his expectations may be much lower as a result.....
