Bigdoggsteel Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Just now, Mattyblue said: It was baseless, because there was nothing remotely in his game that said he could step up to top half of the Championship... as just proven. He played 20 something games in the Championship in Huddersfields promotion season. Not sure what happened him after that because his career has been on a pretty sharp downward trajectory. I am surprised he has ended up in League 2 though. Edited July 3, 2019 by Bigdoggsteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign someone or actually look like we might then people want to discuss it, give their opinions and so on so you need a discussion area so people can speculate around it, but the thread opens so early that everyone is bitching and bickering and almost none of this thread is about transfers Edited July 3, 2019 by gumboots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Big Dogg said a few people wanted him because of what they saw in a Rovers shirt. He offered very little and couldn’t get in our third division side. What he did three years ago at Huddersfield doesn’t come into it. Not that it matters as we obviously weren’t interested in him, and quite right too. Edited July 3, 2019 by Mattyblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally do. Id say the fact no real news story link has been published for 2 weeks suggests why this thread has deviated. Either way - if you sign in and the main content is bickering about something different - there’s probably no transfer news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islander200 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Brentford have made an approach for a goalkeeper at Leicester Iverson, sky reporting that they see him as an alternative to Raya, as we want 4 million whilst they are reluctant to pay any more than 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look like signing someone then people provide speculative opinions - which results in complaints. The transfer thread is like this every window. If people don’t like it they simple don’t need to click into the thread. Just mark it as read and move of with life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good for a message board, I know, but I preferred Rovers doing their business quietly and below the publicity line. No announcements until business was done etc. However, I do worry, when we hear nothing and then the window closes lol... Unlike some, I have enjoyed following this thread! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can only go on what they read and hear. i guess the answer is---"don't necessarily believe everything you read." That was my reaction when Tony said he was going to improve the defence. So I guess I'm not arrogant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
