Quite a few clubs and Rovers interested in 18yo centre-back George Nevett at Rochdale.

I wouldn’t be surprised at this one, with Tyjon joining from Rochdale and we all know about Brierley.

He’s joining Peterborough.

What happened to the Tugay appointment? 

When he left his punditry role he shared a few Instagram stories congratulating him on his new role at Rovers.

Well that was over quickly!

Learnt recently that Keira Walsh, now of Barcelona and England women, was at Rovers as a youth player. I don’t know how long for but it’s some credit to Rovers men and women teams for developing two midfield passing maestros in Walsh and Wharton. Unfortunately, both left for bigger clubs very soon.

 

 

Keira Walsh, Ella Toone and Georgia Stanway all played for Rovers women 😀

If we can recoup £850k for Wahlstedt then it’s a great deal for all parties.

Rodak and Iversen are the type of goalkeeper we should be looking to sign, but their wages are way above our pay structure.

We’ll probably spend all the money on a young keeper from L1/L2 who will never play and end up out on loan in January.

Danish media reporting that Wahlstedt is on his way to AGF for 1 million euro

Thank you Google Translate!

”This summer, he was the big topic in the Super League. Now he is back.

Leopold Wahlstedt is again close to making it to the best Danish series.

Tipsbladet can reveal that.

According to Tipsbladet's information, AGF has bid for the Swedish goalkeeper in Blackburn.

The bid is approximately one million euros, 7.5 million kroner, and the clubs pretty much agree, so the change is more or less up to the goalkeeper.

This summer, AGF said goodbye to Bailey Peacock Farrell, who has returned home to Burnley after his loan spell ended, and now they have set their sights on Leopold Wahlstedt.

A man who already last year at the same time as now was extremely interesting to the people of Aarhus.

B.T. could thus reveal last summer that the 24-year-old Swede from Odd was a wanted player for AGF, but it was Brøndby and Blackburn who fought for him in an unforgettable match, where he chose the Championship club at the finish line.

Brøndby had even ordered plane tickets for Leopold Wahlstedt, but the English club offered twice as much salary and an attractive league, and thus he switched to Blackburn with their then Danish coach Jon Dahl Tomasson at the helm.  

Leopold Wahlstedt got almost half of the games in the Championship with 21 appearances last season, but now the arrow points back to Denmark, where AGF is ready to welcome the goalkeeper they most want.”

Here’s the Tyjon article.

7 names Ive heard that we are looking at, nothing concrete but they are on clubs radar

Ndidi

O’Hare

Sunjic

Murphy

Bielik

Joel Drommel

Mohamed Bamba 

Don’t jump on me they are the names being discussed high on the list, some or none might come off who knows 

 

Ndidi, who’s currently being linked with Barcelona and Juventus? 

Ndidi and O’Hare reminds me of that bit in the ‘Sunderland Till We Die’ documentary when the head scout sees Zlatan on their transfer target list.

Adam is #25 for anyone planning on getting his name on the back of the overpriced England shirt 👍🏻

LT reporting Rovers are due a ‘significant’ fee when AW makes his competitive England debut. The rest of article is behind paywall, does it expand on what ‘significant’ actually is?

No, but it states that the sell on % could be similar to the Raya deal.

Won't it be Park and Eustace contacts? 

You’d hope they’d be identifying the targets, rather then relying on Waggott, like in the signing of Fleck.

I can’t say I’m disappointed that the scouting/transfer team is being overhauled. Last season signings bar Tronstadt were diabolical. 
 

I’m just worried that we’ll be using Waggott’s contacts over the summer, rather than identifying proper talent.
