Don't agree re Dolan, think he will do well in a central position (if/when Szmodics leaves) WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!!!!!!

Vale Ohasi Siggy Gueye

Just think, the sale of Gally (3 goals last season) more than covered the purchases (and likely also the wages) of Gueye & Ohashi (3 goals in 2 games so far)

Pleased to see Duru, and see the sense in giving Fadz minutes, surprised that neither Gueye or Vale are on also

There were several stories when Eustace joined of being pragmatic to start with, and then after a full pre season, instilling a more expansive game, He did it at Birmingham, Kidderminster were the Barcelona/Brazil (cant remember which) of non league

Hatter is a Stockport fan, has been on here a few days, seems a good egg

Negotiating tactic should be that the price goes up every time he scores

I'm just lazy, I buy the Rovers subscription season ticket, but watch the game on sky if its on there

What is the sky issue? I am watching it on sky + (now tv ap rather than a sky sports subscription but cant imagine that makes much difference) and its fine

7-1, Sammie hat trick, and all of the front 4 to score

Buckley was captain of the 2nd string 11 for much of pre season, surprised me then, even more so tonight

I cant say anything for the commentary teams of any other clubs, and having read your comment, I would never want to 😉 Edit - This isn't a gotcha, but why are you listening to every other clubs commentary rather than Rovers own one if you think our commentary are in the top 3? Genuinely interested 🙂

He was, but he was 21/22 when we had him and much closer to the finished article than Brathwaite (who was 18 when we had him) and Harwood Bellis (who was 19 when we had him)

Think we might have been spoilt by a certain Adam Wharton dictating games in his teens

Yes, I am not a fan of the commentary on Rovers TV. They use tired clichés, do not seem to add any insight, and once had a 20 minute discussion about Jaffa cakes in the middle of a game

Does it work for Carabao cup games though? I thought it was League matches only? Edit - as the previous poster was asking for tonight's game specifically Do agree that a subscription to Rovers TV is great value though, despite the commentary team

Not that young, he is 21 in 2 months. Or has my mind just been warped by Rovers playing numerous teenagers over the past few years?

At a guess, I would say he looked at Transfermarkt and forgot to convert to £s. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-burnley/transfers/verein/1132 "Only" £31M spent according to that

lol, I forgot all about him, kept saying we needed to drop Szmodics to play Moran centrally

Draught excluder?

That 3 or 4 year deal would include a 50% wage decrease in the event of relegation (standard across the board, as are 100% wage increases for Promotion to the Prem) Which means that if Ipswich were to buy Szmodics and get relegated, his wage in the Championship would be £20-£25K/week, which for a club with parachute payments is not out of reach

lol

Very skillful player who disappears when the going gets tough. Would probably do very well in a team that is flying and suspect he will have a very decent career in the Prem. But he is not the player that you want as a mid/lower end of the table Championship team that needs to dig in to get results. He was ok (not spectacular so don't get too excited) for Rovers in the first half of last season when we were going well, but awful and as such hardy featured once the wheels came off after xmas. So I suppose how good a signing he may be depends on where Stoke should be aiming this season. Just out of interest, is Stokes entire transfer strategy to buy Rovers squad from last season? Ennis, Gally, linked with Travis & Moran 😉 I would have thought Ennis and Gallagher would have been enough of that particular line of thinking?

I think that you are severely underestimating just how much money Premier League teams (including newly promoted ones) pay their players

Norwich no longer have parachute payments https://www.leedsunited.news/transfers/norwich-city-may-have-to-sell-8m-leeds-united-target-as-their-parachute-payments-are-ending/#:~:text=They got their first parachute,at Carrow Road this season.
