What about a side that is hoping to cling onto remaining in this division for dear life?

Jerry Yates wouldn't be my first choice, but he would have improved the squad

Most decent loans from Prem teams are not sorted until the last couple of weeks of the window anyway. So don't think the Euros impact us at all in honesty, it is just another reason for our top brass to hide behind the lack of transfer activity The only players Prem teams are happy to loan out earlier in the window tend to be the Clarkson's etc who are so far away from ready for their parent club, that they are unlikely to make an impact at Rovers. It seems fairly evident that there are not the funds to complete permanent deals at this stage, and evidence points towards crossing our fingers and toes for 20th August court hearing

Injuries etc https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/july/07/absentees-explained/ Apparently Leonard has had a setback in his recovery, will be out for a "few weeks", Gilsenan, Sigurdsson & Hedges sound like they will be back this week,

Tyrol region

Which is why I proposed the Macclesfield game on the same day

I would be amazed if Rovers spend the amount of money that it would take to get someone of that description through the door. The closest Rovers have come to a proven at this level signing in recent years was Hyam. Szmodics and Brittain had just been relegated when Rovers signed them, so hardly proven at this level, Tronstad had never played at this level Even if you look at our better loan signings in recent years, they were not proven at this level before signing for us. Players like Tosin, Van Hecke, Elliott etc turned out to be very good at this level, but they were far from proven when Rovers signed them, and to expect "proven" players through the door is setting yourself up for disappointment.

Saturday according to Rovers site, not Tuesday Macclesfield have announced a game v Rovers, but think that will be our U21s

Langstaff from Notts County apparently signing for Millwall for less than £750K. If we had any finances at all, that is a punt I would have liked to see

Hilton was behind both Pears and Leo in the pecking order, for a reason

I'd do it for half that. But I am 5 foot 6 and in my 40s

There is a possibility he would accept slightly less per week, in exchange for a longer contract/more security. But even then you would expect other teams with more liquid finances to be interested. So he is unlikely to be arriving here

That's what I am thinking, and why I was interested in knowing who played

Hastings is the guy on trial from Larne isn't he? Any idea what side the U21s put out? I've not seen any mention of it apart from the goal scorers

I want a private jet but finances do not allow it

If we do sign anyone, I hope they play hook a duck to do the reveal. The club is run like a circus carnival as it is, so may as well embrace it At this stage, I would settle for silly reveals of a few contract renewals, let alone new signings

The Everton lad wasn't even on the pitch ahead of Joe Hilton Joe Hilton will be our back up this season

Don't worry, Southgate with bring Gallagher on soon and it will all be ok lol Not sure how he cant see that he team is crying out for Wharton to properly control that midfield Eze, Palmer and Watkins needed too

All £3.26 of it!

They have massively improved... From abject to just shy of mediocre

Probably just a case off building him up after him missing half of last season

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24433506.blackburn-youngsters-involved-expect-accrington/ Was apparently being assessed before the match Similar story to Hedges I think in that he will miss the first game or 2 of pre season after injury at the end of last season (ankle injury in Gilsenans case)

Jack "the Messiah" Vale will save us this season!

From your comment, I am assuming you were there? What did Saadi look like? beyond being "neat and tidy" Still quite confused as to why he was offered a new deal, and would have thought Whitehall would be ahead of him How did Vale look? Was it 4-2-3-1 in the 2nd half too? with either Buckley or Garrett in the number 10? Or more a 4-3-3?
