Charlton signing James Bree & David Datro Fofana on loan, apparently Fofana turned down Celtic to go there, so they must be offering decent money

Yeh but how's their transition project looking

Just said exactly the same to the son in law. Would it make us  a player up? 😁

Notice Emanuel Denis is now a free agent as of today. Wonder if hed be tempted back to prove a point.

If Hyam goes this squad has relegation written all over if...if it doesn't already. Barely any experience anywhere and cheap as chips.

I think Denis kicked the opponents more than he kicked the ball whilst he was here.

Celtic ran out of room for "overseas" loans rather than he turned down Celtic. Still a coo for Charlton.

Would have gave him a chance but after sheff u away nah thanks. Extremely lazy.

I think Mcloughlin is only a 1 game ban as denied a goal scoring opportunity, not violent conduct etc.

Straight red three game ban

Thought a three game ban was only for violent conduct.

Would like to congratulate Middlesbrough...highly ambitious getting players like Brittain and Browne in a promotion chasing side showing ambition like we don't do. They will get promoted this season.

Gibson running the ship vs Suhail - like chalk and cheese. Good choice by Brittain.

“Sideways move” I heard. We’re country miles apart from teams like boro, West Brom, Norwich etc

Hyam a done deal https://x.com/RoversXtra/status/1962611816963428825?t=1F__GBQmWNRbh7znj2H7pw&s=19

He averaged a yellow card every 11.6 games with Hull (11 in 127) and has never been sent off in 200 game career.

Cue 2 yellow cards in 4 appearances for Rovers, and his only career 1 red. Not exactly encouraging.

*according to Flashscore*

My WhatsApp inbox tells me that we had a kit deal sorted with Adidas including a refurb of the club shop (perhaps a waste of time when Rovers discourage footfall), a players boot deal along with Rovers Spezial trainers and a part of the 2026 Spezial FC range.

What the insider tells me is that he believes there are two breach of contract claims.  This may of course be a complete tosh.  I am just passing on info received.

When I was told about that around the time Waggott left, I was told it was a verbal agreement between Rovers (Waggott) and Adidas/Gary Aspen himself.

When Rovers (I would guess Pasha?) kaboshed it, I supposed it broke the proverbial straw with Waggott because he resigned about 2 weeks later.

Most likely Wrexham have got the deal sheet to complete the deal within 2 hours after the deadline. 

So that’s 9pm ? We should know by now-

if we have sold him this makes ‘venkys ‘sense- sell all our best players and buy cheaper players on *even less* wages

There were rumours about Taylor Gardner-Hickman - not seen anything suggesting it's happened, though. Might be the club keeping it quiet. Didn't see anyone else linked. Looks like the club have pocketed the Hyam cash and are fine with letting even more Championship experience walk out the door. After our blistering start to the season I suppose they think we can cope with it. 

[neophox]

What's the plan ?

Fairly certain he proved a point last year when he was here. The point being he’s not very good.m, so I guess he’s fit right in.

Another tragic leaving interview, talks about wanting to "come back where I belong" which is probably why Suhail and co were so keen to offload him. 

I did not personally rate him but I know some did, and I always have time for an academy lad/fan of the club. Even JRC/Buck/Trav were Rovers lads and probably needed purged because of that, regardless of a debate over their quality.

Tearing the soul out the club once again, it is literally 2016/17 all over again... (not that much/any of the last 15 years has been good...)
