Adam Armstrong joining Wolves

They are preparing for the Championship in the same way Rovers are preparing for League 1

£50M striker out, £7M striker in

dapo is the cheap option,rather than spend a bit of money on the lad from motherwell or cadamarteri,they`ve gone for someone who has`nt played for months and will likely be fit by time we are relegated,on a positive note,he could be ok in league one

 

[DackDackGoose]

Be odd if true that we're in for Finn Stevens, 2 players from St Pauli, same as we got de neve and alebiuso from that Belgium club.

I see an article that cadamartari is closer.. if they were selling they'd wait til last min surely.

We need a CM desperately in my opinion

[simongarnerisgod]

cant see us buying anyone else,only selling,alabiousi will deffo be off,only chance of him staying is if his hamstring tweak from yesterday is more serious than it appears

[B16Rover]

Norton cuffey now gone to Inter.  Think that's the trigger for Alebiousu.  

When's Litherland fit?

Dapo has signed

He's only signed a 1 and a half year deal.

Not much confidence from either side about staying up then.

Short contracts are the order of the day in L1. That's what Venkys are gearing up for now.

Given he's only on an 18m contract, he'll be sold in the summer to generate a fee.

Read somewhere that the Cadamarteri deal is agreed at £1 million.

What’s the fee? Can’t be more than £1m with a contract no longer than 18 months.

A 'reverse premium' so St Pauli could get shut!?!?

Think it will be buttons.

Selling Alebiouso while staring down the barrel of relegation would be an act so stupid I cant even see our clowns doing it. The summer is only 4 months away, his value isnt going to decline, and we really really need him.

Not as much as Venkys need the money.

[Eternal Optimist]

I find all this really bizarre. We switched to 3-5-2 for a long period of time and ultimately have signed/signing some strikers to help with this formation but as soon as we do sign attackers we switch back to one up front 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ so we will now have far too many strikers for playing 4-2-3-1………..only at Rovers

@RoversXtra claiming Cadamarteri in final stages on X, with the deal being worth £1m.

Can't help but think we might aswell have kept Leonard if thats the case.

Although looking at Cadamarteri in that Sheffield Wednesday team, it would he extremely harsh to dig him out for a lack of goals in that setup.

Is our setup any better?

Apparently, they're not strikers so we should be OK

What is the point of an 18 month deal? Can only mean he has signed a low-wage deal to put himself in window and find a better team, and we hope to flip him for a profit when we get relegated this summer.

Spot on.

16 goals in something like 87 appearances for Bolton in L1.

It's little wonder that there's not much confidence from either side.

My only concern is whether any of them are decent.

So now we're selling the only decent signing we made in the summer, whilst in the midst of a relegation battle?

What the actual fuck goes through their fucking minds?

Nothing, they're as thick as fuck.

[StHelensRover]

So we've signed someone who was very average for Wanderers in League One, who then went to German 2nd tier and couldn't get a game and sounds like issues off the field to boot. He also won't be fit so he won't be able to play immediately and will be injury prone.

I've don't know anything about the guy, I've never seen him play, but this sounds like trouble.

He needs to hit the ground running and that's not likely. Great.

Being quoted as 2.5 million quid. Not a snip for 18 months.

Dapo? where?

Are you sure you are not looking at his "market value" on transfermarkt? rather than an actual transfer fee?

I think it's been said he did well in the German 2nd division but he's struggled in the top tier.

But you didn’t mention the advanced data 

[B16Rover]

Oh ye of little faith.  A short term deal for a winger who's not fit and has a bad attitude?  When would this lot every risk a season spending a good chunk of our money on a player like that?
