Think he will have to go abroad or to league one if he wants to be a regular starter.

I think I might have sounded too negative. He is an aggressive central defender who wants to win the ball back quickly. Can be overly aggressive and get pulled out of position. He is decent in the air. I would say he is faster than Hyam but slower than Carter. I'm not saying that I think he would be a bad signing, I'm just not sure if he is good enough for what we need (a regular starter to replace Batth). He is quite young for a central defender though, and could improve in the future.

Difficult to say since Allsvenskan is a quite poor league when compared to the Championship. The intensity is lower and the players have more time on the ball. Maybe someone like Hyam would be a dominant force in Allsvenskan, who knows? Rösler is definitely not a standout player like for example Ahmedhodzic was when he played in Allsvenskan. Rösler did win his previous club's (Mjällby AIF) player of the year award in 2023. Maybe he could adapt and be a good player for us. Malmö FF is a wealthy club and would probably want a big fee to sell him so I don't think it will happen.

Rösler is a solid central defender at Allsvenskan level. Reads the game well and decent on the ball. Not sure if he is good enough to start games in the Championship. Underperforming Malmö FF paid about 1 million euros for him a year ago. He is a regular starter for them and is likely out of our price range anyway. They are not known to sell players on the cheap.

Since GB left it seems that the club doesn't want to reward our best players with improved contracts since it reduces costs short term. Now one of our best players is desperate to sign for a club that finished below us last season.

Shameful that the club is actually known to do this.

Would be shocked if a Premier League club signs him. If those wage demands are correct he is nowhere near as good as he (or rather his agent) thinks he is.

The reported fee is ridiculous. Either it's not close to the actual fee or Rovers got fleeced. More likely that the club is leaking this information to make it look like they made a "significant investment".

For all we know maybe the Colorado manager told him that he has no defensive responsiblities. Hopefully he can perform well for us if we sign him.

Never heard about Tavares before. Went on youtube and watched the highlights from his debut for Colorado Rapids against LAFC. He is number 10 in the video. I know it's just one video but he looks lazy and disinterested. Is he really a defensive midfielder?

I think we never looked likely to win the game. Sheffield U dominated the match and had the better goalscoring chances. Both Hamer and Cannon failed to score when it looked easier to score than to miss.

I think he is a decent Championship footballer with excellent work rate. His lack of pace as well as his decision making on the ball are obvious weaknesses. He also is a very inconsistent performer. What makes me worried about his potential departure is that I don't believe we will sign a replacement of similar or better quality. Fully expecting us to scrape the bottom of the barrel once more.

Despite Sheffield U not having anything to play for I'm not upset with the performance today against a club with far better players. The January transfer window however was a disgrace.

No reason to play Pears now. We know what to expect from him and he should not be our first choice keeper next season. Also his performances have been so poor that he deserves to be dropped. Play Toth for the remainder of the season and see if there's any reason he should be at the club at all.

Unexpectedly a big improvement in the second half but yet another poor result so why is Ismael smiling? Did he forget where we were in the league when he took over?
