If there are no takers then hopefully he’ll be willing to extend his deal for a further 12 months. Arma had a poor first season for Soton so that might scare some teams off too. Also like how frank JDT is in his interviews. Definitely putting pressure on GB and SW to deliver the goods, and letting the media and fans know who to blame if we fail to bring players in.

Not been impressed by Edun so far in his Rovers career. Hopefully he can improve his decision-making going both ways.

Aye.

He’s captain for Australia who have a World Cup coming up. Think he’ll be hugely motivated.

Probably another loan for Davies. Must be on good wages.

Why not?

True. We've been through the Rothwell saga already in this thread though. Broughton is really being put to the test here. It is he who has to deliver in accordance with the framework put in place by Waggott and ultimately Venky's. I hope he's a quick learner, because he has no prior experience in a position this high up in a club's hierarchy.

“Stop being stingy”

Mowbray left a more than capable squad. Waggott is the main culprit for me and he’s still here. Letting established first team players in their mid/early twenties run down their contracts is a bad idea. Rothwell we probably stop from going, but along with Raya and Nyambe was mismanaged here. Received peanuts for Raya and nothing for Nyambe, Rothwell and Lenihan.

With his Danish accent: “Yeah, obviously we have tried very hard to sign players but at the end of the day…”

Waggott has Oreo Romeu, John Flaks and Dries Smarties all lined up

Even Myles Anderson is a better right back than Nyambe.

We’ll do okay as long as BBD stays. When/if he leaves is when we panic. Hopefully we can do a swap, or have some deals lined up when he does go. Selling towards the end of the window again would be criminal.

The prophet has spoken.

Salernitana might be out of the running for BBD now that they have signed Botheim. More an out and out striker though. Will be interesting to see our lineup come Saturday.

Big wages, out of our league. My guess is Turkey/Greece.

Hourihane is just another Bradley Johnson signing for me; the ones I would like us to stay clear of.

Colak turns 29 in September, think we should aim for someone younger.

Anel United bound

Back to those days eh? Extremely difficult working conditions.

Tobias Gulliksen at Strømsgodset is a good prospect coming out of Norway. Turns 19 in a few days. ‘Godset are a selling club and Rovers would be a good next platform. Can play across midfield.

Why are we hiring a chief scout now? Park was gone once they knew Mowbray would go, and that’s months ago now.

Don’t think JDT will throw his toys out of the pram over one deal. What’s concerning is the amount of time we spend getting deals done, especially considering we need more than a few before the new season kicks off. We either have a bit of luck to begin with or we will be in a dogfight this season, I’m leaning towards the latter at this stage.

Scraping the barrel.

Stefan Strandberg is available on a free. Soon 32 years old Norway international. Lacks pace completely and is a bit injury prone, but has a wealth of experience and is a Rovers supporter. Not an upgrade on Ayala but think we'd get a few more games out of him.
