What are the chances Waghail genuinely believes that his ultimatum to Szmodics suiters is going to work and he's already counted on the money coming in from sale in the next day or 2 to cover the transfers of gueye, ohashi, macfadz... But if the money doesn't come in then all of those deals well be gone with the wind and it will be yet another pathetic humiliating transfer window blunder for the pair of idiots

That line gets used so much on this forum, it really does give me the ick (to use kiddy speak) just such a lame arsed thing to say. Please be more original with insults

I think regardless of what you think of SG the fact is his contract is up next summer and he clearly has no intention of signing a new deal her (where he is already likely paid more than he's worth)

Gueye looks like a pretty like for like replacement for gallagher, hopefully he'll have a touch more quality and end product to him though. Just read Burnley where in discussions for him last year but chose against signing him, not sure if that's a hood sign or a bad sign😅 (although Burnley may have been in the prem at that point and i doubt gueye is that leve) As for Ohashi being Sczmodics replacement! I think that's pretty offensive to Sammie to be honest, no chance in hell Yuki will even be close to offering what He did in terms of goals, determination and work rate

Oh he can and he will 😄

Would he be a very late replacement for BBD. His career goals record is similar ie. Normally scores under 10 a season but had one uncharacteristic season where he scored over 20!

Swags been on the penny slots in Blackpool this weekend Until he was booted out for nudging the machine

He's very much one of those players that 'needs to be loved' by the manager and be given a role in the team that suits him

To be honest I've no ill feelings towards bbd🤷‍♂️ id like to see him do well in the prem, along with Szmodics once he gets there. Both were total gentlemen profesionals during their time here.

I knew it all along!! 🤣🤣🤣

Well szmodics is the last player at the club with any serious value, so as things stand by the end of the year the clubs coffers will be completely empty again so no money to pay any bills unless the Raos chose to begin covering the costs again. This bullshit court case needs settling once and for all and a decision needs to be made by them about their future involvement with OUR club.

Well there will be no "better" in any of this that's for certain.... but yes I just cant see a club offering a deal worth more than 12mill in total

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bloody obsessed with never gonna happen fantasy fm manager swap deals.

Yes but you've also got to remember how irrationally stubborn the venkys are. I think the only time we've sold quality players on the cheap in the past is when the player has had a low sell on close or nearing the very end of their contract

But it's not really a step forward is it, it never is under the Venkys. As always it's 1 step forward 3 steps back because non of those players are going to come close to replacing what szmodics brings to the team

I thought that a couple of years years ago but to me he hasn't developed at all as a footballer. Still very little end product and poor decision making. You get a great 10-20 minute spell out of him once in a blue moon, but thats about it Personally I think Dolan, Buckley and possibly Garret to have until Christmas to prove their worth and if they can't step up they should step aside.

Not sure worried is the word I'd use any more, I didn't expect anything more from this lot and haven't done for years

How about you just mind your own buisness instead of telling people what they should or shouldn't do 👍 You repeat on here daily that people should just either respect or ignore your precious opinions! So maybe eat a bit of ditto pie 🥧.

My guess is the player may cost 150k but the agents & cronies involved will be recieving substantially more than that between them.

So this years transfer strategy is to hedge their bets and just buy as many dirt Cheap forwards as possible in hope that one of them can make some sort of contribution

Spit you're waffles out and say that again fella, I couldn't quite understand your point Definitely good luck to McGuire though, I don't think there's any ill feelings towards him at all in all of this!

All well and good with the Japanese fella but I'm not letting them kid me for one second that the squad wouldn't still be massively weaker once Szmodics goes. No chance signing some cheapish exotic sounding player is going to appease me that easily! We'd still have one of the weakest looking teams in the league on paper

Isn't it also japan where the rovers blue&white shirt is really well known and a bit iconic

I doubt seasons in japan are as intense as in the championship and probably far less games, if anything he may need to step up his traing to get to the levels needed to last a full game in England
