Rovers U21s are away to Derby this evening, Tyjon is apparently one of several who are injured score/update

A managerial change which may impact Jack Vales playing time etc. He seemed to be a favourite of Kettlewells when fit, or maybe just the best striker available to Motherwell at present

Because Hulls owner would pay the necessary loan fees etc

I don't think "the rumour" is true, but we didn't get £5M for either Kaminski or Raya, so no chance of seeing that amount for Pears if it was true

We didn't, Its the same model, just Broughtons job is/was now done by a combination of Gestede, Adam Owen, Stuart Jones (whilst he is still here) & John Park (when he was here) all with non director job titles, which means their combined pay is likely less than Broughtons Cost cutting exercise

Looks like he can even sign players now too We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Bamba to Chicago as our fifth signing of this transfer window, and our first DP signing this year. 5th signing in 1 window! we can only dream!

likely, because we probably didn't get much of an up front fee for him, so would have hoped a sell of fee might even things out If he goes for a decent amount, then that's another 6 months Venkys will get away with not funding us before it all implodes

Maybe Gregg did know what he was doing after all Certainly knew how to get a contract extended for someone in the first team squad, which has not happened since his departure

That was my thinking, Duru certainly no giant, but Alan Wright would have looked at home in a hat holding a fishing rod in the garden. He was a great left back though

Would explain the lack of a transfer budget if that's the case given how many they would have had to buy the silence of

I would have thought Duru had 5 or 6 inches on Alan Wright. Not the most scientific of methods, but just looking at pictures of them, Alan Wright looked to have the body of a child compared to his peers (not that he wasn't a wonderful full back regardless)

If the owners were willing to spend anything (I know, I know) , that is a great shout for me O'Brien is more box to box than a sitting midfielder for me, which means he would be competing with Travis rather than Tronstad, whereas Ronaldo Viera (at least if I remember him correctly) is more a Tronstad type than a Travis, Obviously in an ideal world you would want cover/competition for both, but with Tronstad missing for the next month or so, a sitting midfielder is of more urgent need than competition/cover for Travis

Especially considering the powers that be seem either unable or unwilling to extend the contracts of our established first team players

Starts this weekend for Markanday - scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win Duru - won 3-0 - sounds like he played well Batty - won 1-0 Olson - drew 1-1 Bell - lost 4-1 Eastham - lost 1-0 On the bench O'Riordan - lost 1-0 - came on for the last 20 mins Wood - won 3-2 Not involved in matchday squad Vale - lost 2-1 - Vale suspended Goddard - lost 2-0 - Goddard Injured Saadi - lost 6-1 - Saadi has now missed the past 2 games, no reason yet given. possibly an injury that I have missed due to not speaking either Greek or Turkish

I am not saying he is good, but the bold part is false Started 20 out of 23 games this season

The vast majority of any fee will be based on future appearances and sales etc

Consider the intellect of the average person you encounter on a day to day basis And then consider, that by the definition of the term "average", half the population is not even that intelligent Its scary

If that fails, then maybe a late panic recall from loan of Jake Batty from Accy, who is young enough to not need registering

Unless at least one is "a kid" (U21 player) on a free transfer

Get behind the team FFS!!!!!!!

They want to loan him out again, if he plays for Rovers, they cannot do that Edit - Personally I would bring him back into the squad at this stage given current injuries etc

Glad to hear Life wouldn't be the same without your boundless optimism

That's just silly talk, even Chaddy has given up now too

They were shit before him too Remember Zeefuik
