We certainly seem to be building the squad for an assault on league one next season, don’t we.

If we are succumbing to that notion, is it one we can bounce back up with, is probably how we will be thinking in a few weeks time...

Nixon in 2 days time ‘exclusive’ Cadamerteri deal a no go 

You've just lost him £2. blocked. fud.

Probably won't even be him.

Our ambitions and budget deserve League One.

How much would ya pay for szmodics now? See derby have had a bid rejected but aren’t near the valuation.

If you hope for something or think something is happening, think the opposite that's your answer

750k rejected - tick tock Rudy 

[B16Rover]

Boggles my mind how we'd pay 1 mil on Cadametrri and not 2 on Pululu (or equivalent) 

 

Even accounting for wages, the resale and staying in the league must be worth it

[MarkBRFC]

Also baffling that according to Nixon we bid £3m for Smit, yet we're lowballing Cleary and Cadamatari with bids of 750k-1.5m.

Something not adding up as per.

I mean, we're well versed in selling players for less than their value due to financial difficulties, so I suppose it was only going to be sooner, rather than later, that we tried to take advantage of someone else.

Yeah they're playing silly beggars again.

I'm a bit sceptical towards Pululu. Some players look like world beaters in the highlight reels but there might be more to the picture.

[Torgeir]

Aren't Sheff W under administration? Rudy probably trying to trigger someone looking at a spreadsheet to let him go for below market value.

Ismael said at the weekend that with the injured players back and a new signing we would have 8 bodies extra compared to v Swansea.

Seems unlikely that we will get a deal done before then. 

Cadamarteri is a really underwhelming target.

I thought he looked quite useful when he played against us. Mobile and athletic.

We won't get it over the line though.

[MarkBRFC]

If you know you are playing 2 up front and need 4 strikers in the summer, and you sign Cadamarteri for around a million as your 4th choice then I think it's worth a punt, young, someone to work with etc.

As your main striker signing (considering Jorgensen to be more of a winger) in January when you're in the bottom 3 though? 

Not so much.

Mobile and athletic - but doesn’t score goals 

[Jimmy612]

Looking at the players we have brought in since summer, I've identified 8 where I can't really tell you their absolute, best nailed down position, regardless of whether they are any good at football. 
 

Morishita
Henriksson
Baradji
Miller
Jorgensen
TGH
De Neve
McLoughlin

You could argue Miller has proven himself to be a RCB rather than a RB/RWB because of his inability on the ball, but, we were told he was a RB when he arrived. I also don't know if he'll be any good in a two if we persist with 2 CBs.  Mcloughlin has cemented his place as a CB, more through necessity than him being outstanding. 

The rest, honestly, I couldn't tell you their best position.  I don't think VI knows where they should play, I don't think he knows which formation suits them. Every squad needs a bit of versatility, but we just seem to have picked up a load of Jack of all trades, masters of none.

Id say McLaughlin is a terrible signing personally.

All of the above would be on the bench for most well ran championship clubs.

If we sell Toth and Alebiosu and Tronstadt and Cantwell and Baradji and Jorgenson we should get one bench warmer from a league in Mogadishu fingers crossed!

Whilst I don't rate him, he can actually keep himself fit which actually makes him more useful to us than Wharton and Carter.

What a woeful club!

In a struggling Sheffield Weds side.

Just wait until he gets on the end of a Hedges cross. 

[Ghost7]

Why did Rovers need Sheffield Wednesday to tell them £750,000 wouldn't work... I could have told them that. I also could have told them the wage structure isn't high enough to buy a striker for £3m like Smit, so don't bother if another Championship club has any interest in the player. You aren't competitive in the market, or taking the league position seriously.

[Comfortably numb]

I think Elliot Jackson would be the best person to explain all the hype about Cadamarteri. As a Wednesday fan he will obviously know more about him than any of us and what his qualities (if any) are.

[bigbrandjohn]

Tinkering,  and nickel and diming in the last week of transfer dealing is a good strategy said nobody ever.
