G Somerset Rover

The other sign of the best players is their ability to win the 50/50s. He went in a few times with blokes bigger than him on Wednesday and came away with the ball. Genuinely excited to see him develop further over the course of the season.

The time to have gone for Surridge was surely last season. Can’t see us competing against decent Chanpionship teams even if we did go for him now.

Dembele is going to be the new Luca Toni.

Pointless now though if we can’t bring in a replacement.

Myers reckons Everton may be in for BBD.

Hold onto your excitement, but Sharpe reckons JRC is set to stick around.

Elliott Jackson from Lancs Live (yes I know) thinks we’re done.

It will be disappointing if Dembele - or similar - now don’t come given the early day hype. I can’t remember us pulling off many - if any - very late deadline day deals recently, so would assume we’re done unless a name pops up in the next hour or so.

I’m just waiting for the six-monthly Sharpe tweet which pisses on all of our chips: ‘Told Rovers’ business is done for the window’.

Bowler will be like Dembele IMO - off out on loan come next summer or even January.

Mola it is - confirmed. https://twitter.com/Rovers/status/1565300983541940226?s=20&t=WQQIvZ0HhLdutWqgt9ADsw

Mola or Dembele? I reckon Mola. As an aside, buzzing if we can get Dembele done. Quality player.

Re the Dembele rumour from football insider, is that who O’Rourke works for?

These clubs take the p*ss. They are awash with money and spending fortunes on very average players. Cough up or don’t even come to the table.

Harry Vaughan - 18yo midfielder from Oldham linked by Sharpe. Guessing one for the under 23s.

JRC likely heading to League 1 on loan according to Sharpe.

Ah sh*t, Ornstein is Romano level of being bang on.

JDT on Wharton: ‘He had a good game. But he needs to learn more’. He’s certinly keeping him grounded! Love JDT’s interviews. Breathe of fresh air.

Diaz is more than happy - keep him unless the bid is ridiculously good and we’re that confident in a top replacement coming in. I highly doubt the latter. Big day tomorrow; a few decent additions and we have half a chance this season.

Wharton talking about how he’s Rovers born and bred, supports the club big time etc. Tie the kid down tonight.

Dear God, Adam Wharton. We have one special, special player on our hands. Fingernails are done, but worth it for those three points.

Dirty bastard Madine. That’s off with VAR.

So is Wharton! Could well be a bigger talent than Phillips this lad.

Apart from his ability to close down, I too see very little in him. Just doesn’t have the brain or technique.

They’re gunning for us from set pieces - going to need full concentration tonight from all 11.
