2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

Prediction for deadline day.

No signings, the biggest news being Leonard being sold and one or two young lads like Batty going out on loan.

A brief period where someone (probably Alan Nixon) links us to a deal that was never happening, the rumour lasts an hour or two before fizzling out.

my predictions is for 2 signings tomorrow 

roll on 7pm

I'm interested to see who goes out. Leonard sounds about done but Pears will be looking.

Younger guys on loan have longer to make moves if I remember rightly.

Remember when we gave Sheff U 1 million for a lad named Slew with the intention to loan him back but i think he ended up somewhere else but on a very good Rovers contract.

Hmmm....

Just looked him up. We paid £1.1m for him in 2011 when in the Premier League and he made 1 appearance before being loaned out in 2012  to Stevenage then Oldham/Rotherham/Ross County and Port Vale before having his contract terminated in 2015.

Guess his agent would have been happy enough.

Don't think so. 

You can sign players outside the window who are free agents.

No chance we get in two. Even if we do we’ll probably fail the paperwork because if we can’t sort that out at 11 pm, crikey I wonder what would happen at 7pm 

[roversfan99]

Seeing as we arent signing a keeper. I cant believe im saying this. But I hope Pears doesnt go and he regains his place as sub keeper.

Prediction:

Alan Browne will come in, along with two (far too young/raw) PL loans join last minute - at GK and LW/RW.

Leonard goes, Pears goes (or is mutually terminated), and unfortunately, I'm going to predict Tyjon gets sold to Arsenal. Batty and another kid gets loaned out too.

... and Junior Hoilett signs a new long-term contract!

What do you mean? I don't think age comes into it at all.

I suspect what you're thinking of is youth players making loan moves after our window closes, but that's because they're moving to non-league teams who have a different window system for loans.

Yeah once the window closes that includes loans. 

A number of years ago, they had an extra window for loans but thay has long since gone.

You can only then sign free agents and they would have had to be free agents when the window closed.

[TommyRovers]

Going to be bold and predict two in tomorrow.

One permanent and a loan.

Team is crying out for a player like Browne. Bit of experience and toughness. 
A CM and another forward and we will be in good shape.
