Pretty much down to bare bones, just in time for the busiest part of the season

And who on earth could have predicted this?

AGREF International, very much Peru based agency. The reported transfer figure was the biggest red flag, never moved for more than £1m & was average at best last season & finds himself being approached for £2m...

As with all such things, there is always a tell-tale in the patterns around it. Whilst there is nothing 'illegal' per se in what appears to have been done so many times under Rovers' flag, it stinks like the bag of shite that it really and truly is.

If it smells like shite, it looks like shite, and it plays like shite, well then, don't be amazed if it is actually shite, despite the protestations of the gob-shites and their acolytes.

VENKYS AND VEXATIOUS ACOLYTES OUT!

It does happen occasionally through incompetence even if there isnt necessarily anything nefarious going on.

£7m for Grabbi (which Im told would comfortably have purchased the town his former Club Ternana was situated in) and when we bought Christian Dailly the story goes that Derby had a figure in mind for him and John Williams steamed in with an initial offer way in excess of that which of course they were only too delighted to accept.

In this instance of course it would be no surprise at all if Tavares' agency havent done extremely well out of the deal and we've been saddled with a relatively expensive (for us) dud.
