2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

You can only be sure it's done when the club employee logs on to twitter to say "🇯🇵 🇵🇱👀"

Morishita I know nothing about but seems a cut above some of the punts we have taken this summer.

If Morishita does come then they've done quite well

You can only be sure it's done when he runs out on the pitch in a Rovers shirt AFTER the end of the transfer window.

Is this an insert your own final word competition ? 🤣

Can see it now, "Morishita signs for Bristol Rovers"

[BRFC4EVA]

Forgive my ignorance, but we've got full backs coming out of ears. 2m plus on a 28 year old for a position we are well stocked seems extravagant? Or is in intent for him to play further forward? 

We are crying out for a striker and pacey winger..

Don't count your chickens, Gestede did work experience with Waggot. 

 

We've still got the 'offer them less in person once they've flown to Manchester' tactic to pull yet

Hea being bought in as a winger.

The Morishita deal seems to good to be true…

Waiting for Jackson to confirm/squash it but as it is bank holiday I don’t feel we will have an update until tomorrow.  

Too good to be true? 28 year-old Japanese player with three caps for his country and plying his trade in Poland.

My understanding is that Morishita played on the wing last season. Scored 14 goals last year and is meant to be rapid. So that should be the pacey winger locked down.

EJ has just confirmed that we are looking at another midfielder and hopefully a striker. If we get all 3, and sell Buckley, Pears and Travis (sadly) for good fees then that would conclude a suprisingly very strong window under the circumstances (self inflicted).

I dont get the suggestion that a midfielder is a priority whereas a striker is just a bonus.

We need another striker far more than a midfielder, although I think we need both.

If Pears goes, we need another keeper.

Handshakes all round as Motishita makes the move to Shamrock Rovers 🤣

I'm assuming the other two deals are outgoings of Travis and Buckley. Bit of a misleading headline 😂

[MarkBRFC]

Elliot saying we want another midfielder after Morishita.

Says not ruled out another striker but nowhere near a certainty.

Think Nixon was well off with Afolayan.

Correct 🙂

But also that we're chasing a CM to replace Bucko/Trav and a striker could come in as well.

I'm guessing we're searching for CB's too, and if there's a suitable option available, then Hyam leaves this window.

His accuracy has been off a few times.

He said we wanted Gassama about 2 days before he went to Rangers.

Also said that Pye was our alternative to Kapuadi.

Not convinced we were serious about Miyoshi either.

[Tugayisgod]

If we are after another midfielder someone like Alan Browne on loan could fit the bill. Sunderland happy to let him go, he's another in the Travis mould, bit of a shit houser and someone opposition fans hate. Not sure where all this leaves Forshaw tbh unless it's as cheerleader in the dressing room

I actually quite like the business we have done so far. If we can get this deal over the line and at the minimum add a striker, whilst replacing anyone else we lose (Pears etc) with better players (key!) then we have done well. 
 

Batth and Wiemann are currently getting slated by Derby fans, so maybe we were right to not risk another year (or two). Beck appears to be injury prone. Travis will be a big loss but think a pairing of Sonny and someone else with a bit more creativity is better for our attack. Dolan at the end of the season was class but so, so inconsistent and frustrating before that. JRC, Buckley and Leonard all need / needed moving on in my view. Callum is the one I did not want to lose, and hope  Alebiosu and Miller can fill that void. 
 

I really like the look of them and Tavares, McLoughlin looks like a bargain, Toth has stepped up, and for some reason I have a good feeling about Baradji and Axel. 
 

I wouldn’t have brought Forshaw back but can see the positives for the younger lads. I thought De Neve looked good when he came on towards the end of the Hull game but not convinced. Like I said, if we add a striker and Morishita, and replace Buckley, Pears with better, then I like the look of what we are doing.

He played as a winger last season

I have a feeling that Forshaw is this seasons McFadzean. Would've probably played against Bradford if fit, but now Rovers are out of the cup it's unlikely we'll see him when he is ready unless there is a huge injury crisis in midfield.

There has been a bit of a change of narrative with Batth and Weimann.

It wasnt our choice to let them go. We tried to keep them but as with every other contract, it wasnt good enough.

It may turn out for the best as they are getting on, indeed I wouldnt have offered Weimann a deal to begin with. But it wasnt our plan. And if they do struggle this season, it isnt to the clubs credit. They leeft big holes compared to last year regardless of how they do this season.
