There's no assumption he has to be paid for however it's done and that's a fact as are the accounts and Mowbray himself confirming the fee. We've loved your goal post moving assumptions on it though for nearly a year now trying to make out he's only cost a few quid so far and he's earning peanuts comparably speaking. As usual real evidence points to the contrary but I suppose we can never rule out the late window Venky rush of blood that might agree to underwrite some more big commitment signings, loan or otherwise.

blondie 206 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Goalkeeping situation unresolved. David Raya op has not been confirmed. If not, with post op rehabilitation can understand Leutwiler situation. Link to post Share on other sites
JHRover 11481 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 We haven't had any update recently on Ben Gladwin. No mention of how his contract discussions have progressed or if he's still going to be here next week. I'm accepting that the team kicking off v Charlton is going to be more or less the same as the one that finished last season. I think Downing will start on the bench, we'll have another CB trying to force his way in ahead of Lenihan and Mulgrew, and possibly another CF to make up the numbers (likely to be a loan) and then that will be that. Think Mowbray is going to do his usual routine of taking the younger lads away to Austria to see if any of those can step up, then wait and see who is available later on and if any deals can be done. If we spend close to the £10 million of last summer I'll be amazed. Doubt there's any serious interest in any of ours at this early stage. Link to post Share on other sites

BankEnd Rover 533 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Why am I still seeing Smallwood in a rovers kit? The guys needs to go asap. Can't deal with seeing both Evans & Smallwood in the middle some point next season. Link to post Share on other sites
S8 & Blue 3123 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Maybe not majority opinion but I'd much rather keep Smallwood in the squad and try to get someone to give us a few quid for Evans. Link to post Share on other sites

The fact we might be able to get a few quid for Evans but clearly won't for Smallwood should mean we keep him before Richie. Link to post Share on other sites

JWUpper 127 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Rodwell looking like a potential last minute re-signing unless he gets a better offer after he didn’t turn up for the start of pre-season and not being included in the Austria trip... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17728388.latest-on-rovers-contract-talks-with-jack-rodwell/ Link to post Share on other sites

Awful attitude towards fitness and preparation, whether he is going to be here or elsewhere. That settles it for me, I now hope he doesn't sign. Link to post Share on other sites

The worrying thing in that article is that Mowbray talked about his versatility, its almost like he didn't see some of his performances at centre back last season. Link to post Share on other sites

Who he supports or where he comes from is surely an irrelevance. Jason Lowe came through the academy but we couldnt want him any further from the club. The question should be does he have the quality to improve us and aid our supposed push for a top 6 place. I would say certainly not. Link to post Share on other sites
