I thought he tore his calf last time?

The current ione is an achilles injury

It was an achilles injury in 2020, his last injury in 2024 was an ACL

We need a result this weekend, surely that's wrong, international break this weekend.

Ismael states in the Lancashire Telegraph, he doesn't want free transfers, they take time getting up to speed. He wants signings in the Januarary transfer window. What's the betting He departs like the rest of them, when he doesn't get what he wants.

I think he will get signings in January, they will from overseas and will be of the ilk of De Neve, Tavares, Kargbo etc, although we may drop lucky and get another Alebiosu

We will then see just how much Ismael is signed up to the current model. 

Personally I think he has been drinking the Rudy/Pasha Kool Aid and will be perfectly happy with this.  Which will only change in the unlikely scenario that Rovers go on a significant winning run and his stock rises enough to allow him to move to a non basket case club.

No way he walks out. 

He's "aligned" with the rest of them.

O'Riordan back, a loan with a view to buy from some foreign second tier and a 19 year old Prem loanee.

Bookmark it.

They are very good at creating illusions in the winter windows to make it look like they are doing something.

Amazing how it's only here where managers *turn down* the chance to sign players.
