Which explains why Eustace has effectively been using Pickering & Carter as wide CBs in a 3 when attacking -

The plan, not what will actually transpire, I do think we will sign a keeper, but he will not be first choice and Pears will be -

I would imagine this is "the plan" GK NEW Pears Barrett LB/LCB Pickering NEW CB McFadzean Batth Wharton (although injured) RCB Carter O'Riordan Atcheson RB/RWB Brittain Duru CM JRC Garrett CM Tronstad Buckley Saadi (only because he has been involved in pre season) RW/RAM Hedges Markanday CAM/LAM Ohashi Weimann? LW NEW Dolan Gilsenan CF Gueye Leonard Tyjon Vale (kept whilst Leonard is injured) sold - Szmodics, Travis, Hyam, Sigurdsson, Gent, Hilton, Eastham (all high earners and/or last year of contract) loaned out - Gamble, Batty (ideally both need a loan, although may be kept as cover) -

I can see him as the Carter understudy at right sided centre back, mainly because nobody else can do the job -

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68088450 O'Riordan was a 4.5 year contract 7 months ago. Albeit much lower fee and wages than Hughes will be for whoever (not Rovers) picks him up -

Starting to wonder (or at least hoping) that the Gent sale is in order to bring in someone who more fits how Eustace has been setting us up in pre season Our first choice back 4 has been Pickering Hyam Carter Brittain Which when attacking, becomes a back 3 with Pickering sliding inside and Brittain moving forwards. Whilst Duru could in theory offer what Brittain does, Gent could probably not do the Pickering role. The signings of McFadzean and Batth do make me wonder if Hyam is on his way out (high earner in the last year of his contract) which would then leave us with Left Back/Left sided centre back - Pickering, NEW Old steadying head CB (central in the 3) - McFdzean, Batth (Wharton to probably slot in here in a years time when he is fit and Fadz retires/moves on) Right sided centre back - Carter, ORiordan Right back/wing back - Brittain, Duru, (JRC in emergencies) Gamble and Batty to both be loaned out to see if they sink or swim, and Atcheson (who looks very useful but is still only 17) to be the emergency cover centre back and eventually take Carters role when he is inevitably sold within the next 2 years The sale of Gent probably indicates that the back 5 is not in Eustaces thoughts this season, as he would surely have been a useful back up option at left wing back, and that it will instead be this 4 at the back when defending, 3 at the back when attacking hybrid for the vast majority of the season I am not saying this is a good, or bad thing, just trying to predict what we may see in the last month of the window and how Rovers may set up this season -

That forum topic gave provides a great read, levels of delusion and naivety so high that my sides hurt from laughing They are all very excited having seen his highlight reel on youtube, and are completely discounting that those 40 odd goals took him years to score -

He does, maybe if they shift enough players (and wages) out, the plan is to increase his contract offer? And then panic when he rejects the increased offer 😉 -

He played in 29 league games (more than 25% of games ,for 1456 mins ( 50% of the available mins would be 1305 mins) So he should qualify https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arnor-sigurdsson/leistungsdaten/spieler/377665/plus/0?saison=2023 -

Is there any chance Siggy played enough last season to qualify for a standard work permit this year? It may be based on games he was available for, so his injuries may have done him a favour in that regard? Hoping you still have the criteria open to check because I am being lazy 😉 Or yes, he may be sold, which given his wage and being in the last year of his contract, is more than possible -
