2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

[BRFC4EVA]

I know I shouldn't be supprised, but this is what we have been reduced to. Picking up the scraps from league 1 promoted clubs, 3 hours after the deadline. 

Beyond pathetic. I hate this club

He has played in the championship with West Brom and Bristol so definitely has experience of this league. Plus was handed his debut under VI

I put the laughing 😂 emoji in the thread title for a reason.

I mentioned earlier that my Birmingham supporting friends all think he’s a solid signing. 

The issue I have with this is that if he's such a good player, why is he being loaned out with an option to buy after only signing for the club in February? I appreciate Brum have spent money and signed a lot of players, but as a young player and utility man you'd assume he'd be useful to keep around if he's decent.

Maybe he’ll turn into a decent squad player but fundamentally…we (a team who finished 7th last year) are signing a player who can’t get a game in a team that wasn’t even in the fucking division last year. Just tragic.

It’s not so much losing Hyam as the sheer lunacy of the timing.

Yep - classic under this ownership..

Is Pickering still here?

If he was considered good enough for the Championship one of those clubs (or Brum) would have kept him surely? 

Not saying he couldn't be alright but it's another signing that on paper looks at best "okay".

Whoopee another Birmingham reject who'll do fuck all

Aside from having propper football men running the club, what they’ve done better than any other club in the efl is market their team to a global audience, increase revenue at the gate and through sponsorships and increases kit sales. 

And they had a very unmarketable club in a very unmarketable league. But they found the angle and leaned on it really well, leveraging their own fame of course. If Venkys had the skill to follow up on their vision properly, maybe they'd now have a successful chicken shop chain in the UK, and a growing Rovers fanbase in India. But they had to Venkys things up instead.

Forshaw the only rovers player over 30.

Tronstad recently turned 30, so there's two.

Who have we signed now

[Elrovers]

Anyone noticed on the clubs website when they introduced TGH they didn’t say this concludes our business bla bla. Imagine if they pull something out of the hat which I doubt. I’m just pointing this out tho usually they say this.

Yes but apparently he's a midfielder/Full back.

So no use as regards replacing Hyam assuming he has gone.

Steve Bruce is quoted as saying he thinks the lads best position is full back.

[Ricky]

Deadline passed at 7pm so can’t imagine anything else happening that wasn’t already being worked on. 

[RoversClitheroe]

Has Elliott Jackson deleted his tweet about Hyam being close to a contract extension?

CM is where he’s played most of his games I believe. That’s where I see him being used here as we need a workhouse in the travis mould. This will be him.
