Just spent the past 3 or 4 hours making a feature length reveal video that blew what remains of the transfer budget? 😉

Zian Flemming having a medical at the dingles, they have signed Sarmiento & Josh Laurent this eve (I think too late to tomorrow)

Cant see an update on Rovers Academy twitter but both Tyjon and Mafoumbi starting v Man Utd Hilton Houghton Litherland Whitehall Powell Edmondson Caddick O'Grady-Macken Bloxham Tijon Mafoumbi

snap

Seeing as it has gone a bit quiet, Assuming Cantwell and Godo get done, and nobody else leaves, I think that is 25 squad spaces taken up. Would we be happy enough with this? GK Toth Pears Hilton/Barrett (assume one will be sold/loaned) LB Pickering Beck CB Carter Hyam Batth McFadzean Wharton RB Brittain Duru CM Tronstad Travis Rankin-Costello Baker Buckley AM Cantwell Dolan Weimann W Sigurdsson Hedges Cozier-Duberry Godo Gilsenan S Gueye Ohashi Leonard Tijon Do not need to be registered Injured Wharton U21 Duru, Leonard, Tijon * loan players have to be registered no matter what age they are

That would be akin to signing Fleck, He has been injured since last September https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-egan/leistungsdaten/spieler/121324/plus/0?saison=2023

Anyone not already signed by now (*) will have missed the cut off point to play tomorrow * possible may have signed but not yet been announced

We all said that at Christmas when they signed Carvalho, Giles, Zaroury etc, and they then nosedived out of the playoffs and sacked their manager. But yes the intent from them is clear

After seeing Murics debut, Ipswich may fancy one of them

The thought of Waggot dressed up like that, I threw up in my own mouth 😞

To be honest, if we get Cozier-Duberry and Godo on loan, I am not at all fussed about Cantwell. 2 wide players with pace are far more important

Oxford manager seems to have a similar affinity for signing wide players that Mowbray did for central midfielders. I think they have 7 now https://www.transfermarkt.com/oxford-united/kader/verein/988

Jackson saying Dembele was £800K

Once they come back up, they will have to factor this year (assuming they come up at the first attempt) into their 3 year FFP cycle, having spent a shed load in year 1, so yes, they will be

FFP is different in League 1, its based on a % of revenue rather than profit/loss. Rovers benefitted from this to a lesser extent when we were in League one https://www.efl.com/supporters/faqs/rules-and-governance/

If he can't be sold, he is a very useful option/source of goals from the bench, but he likely isn't a starter due to work rate/consistency

In that case, makes even more sense for him to wait and see which team is most lacking in centre backs after today

As he is out of contract, he can move after the window closes. He may wait a week or 2 and see who is the highest bidder/most desperate club

We can file it under "highly unlikely, but Brum do have mad owners, so still just about possible" if you like?

Birmingham already had Laird and have signed 2 other players who can play right back already this summer https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alfons-sampsted/profil/spieler/332530 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/taylor-gardner-hickman/profil/spieler/546944

That would imply "4 for the week by the end of today" given the comment he is replying to wouldn't it? Beck earlier in the week, and 3 more today

Yes Cantwell is not someone who you have as part of a "double pivot" in front of the defence, edit, neither are Cundle, or from what I have seen of him, Hall from Birmingham

Probably the most believable and true to life excuse given so far

If only Rovers hadn't waiting until the middle off the summer to dump and replace the old scouting team eh?
