Been sat on this story for a few weeks giving little hints here and there. Did say last week why he doesn’t know why it hasn’t already been sorted without giving a name. Could be something in it

[aletheia]

Pal for Yuki? Commercial opportunity? And a good player? Would allow VI to say he doesn't always pick giants 😉

Edit £2mill? They'll want Trav and others out the door then...

Brum fans seem to love him

axel gets a 4 year contract but our skipper,the best right back and the best holding midfielder in the league don`t even get an extension offer😰

Just hope they don't want him back

Miyoshi would be a decent signing. Not someone who gets too many goals but looked pretty good for Birmingham and would offer creativity and a bit of directness. And would obviously walk into our team.

If hes the main target, just get it done. He seems to have struggled at Bochum hence why he is available so surely one we need to accelerate now. Doesnt appear to be close though?

The winger we are interested in is Koji Miyoshi apparently.

 Fee could be up to £2m

Only 5'6" though so could be porkies !

This would be a great signing.

Our owners hail from a country of 1.4 billion people, and I'll bet there isn't a Rovers shirt in sight.

Not sure commercial opportunities are there thing tbh.

Should have been couple of weeks ago apparently no idea what the hold is … maybe he has to go to the appeals section as he’s a borderline case … Excellent signing if it gets over the line .. Player ready to come … Think he has a relegation clause here also …. Was surprised it has taken Gestede & company this long to follow up with another Japanese player with the success of Yuki Ohashi !! Double Trouble for the championship if it comes off ….

Could be a very good week if we pull this off. Sad to see Brittain go but £3.5million is good business for a player who was behind JRC 12 months ago and had one year left.

pne fans getting   narky about their sudden lack of transfer activity,it`s gone very quiet at sheepdale after their initial excitement🙂

Anyone is better than Ryan Hedges.

12 goals in the championship the season Birmingham were relegated. Quick and good feet - would certainly give us abit of xfactor in the final 3rd. He’s also not a passenger. Great in the press and works hard. 

6 according to Wikipedia

They've made like 10 signings

They get offers but want better deals.

Unproven Scandinavians probably aren’t as demanding.

Cozier-Dubbery wasn't 😉

Some Birmingham fans say he’s more of a no. 10 or 8 and is NOT a winger as he’s not very quick but has quick nibble feet which ideal for a no. 10.

Not quite but he was playing for a team that got relegated,whilst Dolan was playing for a side in and around the top 6 for most of the season

Miyoshi would be a great signing. Would be nice to sign someone we've seen play and we're confident would do well here too! 

Bit concerning hearing its been on the cards for a while though and still not done... 

[roversfan99]

Doesnt fit in with the rest of our recruitment, and perhaps not the type of wide player anyone had in mind. We could do with pace and he isnt that quick and he is also very weak.

But we could also do with some technical ability. We are focusing on athletes which is all well and good but both in terms of results and entertainment, you need to have some craft and technical ability to go with it. And Miyoshi would really being that, he looked a good little technical player when he was at Birmingham and reading what their fans thought of him, they liked him which is always a good sign.

Would he be an upgrade on Dolan if it happened? Not so sure. But he would be a noticeable upgrade on what we have.

He also perhaps is better suited to playing in a more central position. That being said, if he did sign, he would potentially be expected to play narrower considering how we seem to want to play so that might work.

Lots of ifs though as seemingly nothing is close. But I certainly wouldnt be against it.
