Has Mafoumbi played for the U21s yet? How has he looked?

Nights like this we miss Telalovic

RoversTV works abroad (from vast experience over here!) There is a subscription but the quality is usually pretty good and shows all Rovs games (bar cup games). Commentators are horrendous though.

This squad gets relegated. I do agree with you though - I think that will be our lot. The only one I would question is a new GK - cant see it

Siggurdson has technical quality - something the rest of our squad lacks. Big time. We also saw he can score goals last year - up to the QPR game he looked fanstastic. Give him a go in Sammie's role. Doubt we sign anything better.

Will be waggott and suhail up front at this rate

Oh for the days when we were getting excited and optimistic about signing such players under JDT. This is beyond bleak.

Warchest incoming!!!

I think this will just be reallocation of JDT and GB wages. JDT will have earned far more than Eustace. No incremental budget at all.

My first thought too. It is obvious the taps are well and truly off. I had wondered how we were affording the new army of 'head ofs' - but I imagine Waggott has simply taken JDT and GB salaries and are paying the new folks peanuts. Eustace will be on a fraction of what JDT was on. And through all of this.....fans left wondering, Waggot says nothing.

Best kit for a while and SO much better without that silly devil. The sponsor on the ladies kit looks very smart, actually prefer it. Hopefully it is an omen for a good season.

The problem with Hedges (and many in the squad) is that he won't be available for 70% of games over the course of a season. Clear technical ability but he is made of glass.

In that interview he says the objective is to finish higher than last year, you know. Which equally means not get relegated, you know. Lofty ambitions again this season after Waggott’s stay in the league last.

Italy won and controlled a game coming from behind. Germany dismantled a Scotland side with more premier league/top tier players than this Serbia side. LOL!

England are very average. Compare to Germany, Italy and Spain. France still to play.

Did nothing this eve but is that Hearts striker worth a shout for us?

If you enjoy more platitudes, talk of a lack of budget, gushing thanks for Steve and Suhail and being told we all need to be together - yep, go for it.

A good number of posts on here since the appointments have had me laughing. Laugh is all you can do.

The best transfer we could have is a new manager. Yet to be remotely convinced by Eustace and all of his cliches. Actually, that would be third best. A new CEO and new owners get the 1 and 2 spot.

Good grief thats a depressing read.

£18million.........another excellent piece of business from Rovers. Nice one Venkys. And we will not see a penny of it. Shambles.

Good luck to him and I hope he makes a full recovery. A decent man. I imagine a few in his position would do the same.....another slog in League 1 doesn't sound fun.

He will come back and the club will herald the new signing, like some sort of returning Mascherano. Imagine Travis won’t be too pleased to come back….

Classic Rovers that this still isn't announced days after it became public knowledge

1. We wont sign an ambitious, modern DoF - we will get someone who says 'yes sir' to Waggott, just like Eustace 2. Not sure I would trust Eustace to either identify talent properly or do a decent job convincing anyone to join rovers. If he thinks out lot have been 'fantastic' since he came in, his standards may be lower than ours 2. With both JDT and Broughton leaving our knowledge of the international/European markets probably also leaves. We will go back to the TM/Waggott policy of domestic crap only Where can I buy my season ticket?!!
