Haha you could say so! Yes their second division has 4 U21 sides from the Eredivisie, so it’s not the best standard of football. Smit could be a glorified Joe Nuttall who loves scoring against U21 sides 🤣

Go Ahead Eagles won the Dutch cup last season beating AZ on penalties. Smit played the whole game (didn’t score or assist). I’ve been watching a bit of the Dutch second division since visiting FC Volendam in February. Their striker scorer 52 goals in two seasons at the second division level. Now playing in the Eredivisie he hasn’t scored a goal this season, it seems to be quite a big jump in class from the second division to the Eredivisie.

Can’t share the link as he’s blocked me, but Nixon is linking us with ex-Preston midfielder Alan Browne…

Farewell Trav, you shall be missed.

“According to the specialized media RoversXtra, the discussions are already well advanced between the two clubs.” 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t think he will…I remember one player who moved to Saudi regretted the move and wanted to come back. But due to tax reasons they had to stay in Saudi for at least two years or they would lose a load of their money. I can’t remember off the top of my head who the player was? They mentioned it on a podcast/interview after coming back to England.

Buckley is such a weird one, looks to be a decent player, with an eye for a pass but looks and plays like he couldn’t give a shit 🤣 JDT, Eustace and Val haven’t fancied him so it’s probably best for all parties that he moves on. Will be paid a shit load in Saudi and the level and tempo of football over there will suit him.

Lovely goalkeeping from one of our coaches yesterday 🙈

I think he will definitely be a fans favourite, seems like a lovely lad.

Promotion payment 🤣🤣🤣

Welcome Ryoya! 🇯🇵

Polish journalist states that the fee exceeds €2m, will be over £1.7m 👍🏻

Everyone can stop complaining now! He’s our new striker, right winger and centre midfielder 🥳

Ryan Alebiosu has been brilliant this afternoon. Looks a real threat going forward down the right 👏🏻

Oh my god

GET IN.

Decent first half, Sidnei is clearly better on the ball than Travis. Tronstad just has the knack of picking up second balls and being in the right place at the right time. Just pay him what he wants!

Always rated him 🤐

I’m going with 1-0 Rovers, Henriksson with the winner 😀

Does the advisor to the Southampton owners know if he’s any good?

Rudy Gestede was translating on behalf of Baradji, I turned it off after one minute. He was probably making up the translation to make himself look good 🤣

Loan deal makes sense due to the injury concerns. So that means there’s money for a permanent winger signing? Right!?

It’s a shame to see Travis leave, would have loved him to stay and see his career out with Rovers. Was a limited player, but I quite enjoyed his shithouse antics. I just wish we were a ‘normal’ club that would reinvest the amounts we’ve received back into the transfer budget. It’s ridiculous that despite the sales of around £4m - £5m this summer we’ll be sticking to the budget assigned by the chicken fuckers.

I wish Rudy’s data driven approach would focus on some bloody attackers. Our current attackers couldn’t unlock a door with the key in the lock. I’m looking at you Ryan Hedges 🫵
