This is pie in the sky stuff but if Gueye lacks the technical side and has an over abundance of the physical, then Markanday may be a complimentary player. Say what you want physically (in fairness I thought he did toughen up a bit) he can certainly strike a ball well.

What is the Rovers credit rating. I wonder if that makes a difference to installments both loaning against future incoming and paying in outgoing

This is basic football manager, give them 20m if he scores 50 league goals and calls it a day. Or for the pros - sign a German with a 100m international appearance bonus

Not confident at all going in to the season with Pears as number one. Also not confident we will spend actual money on an adequate replacement and to be honest De Lange we wait for the Go Ahead to do so, the worse I feel

Am I mad for thinking I'd rather keep Travis and get Norwood then swap him for Baker Edit: forgot he was a Dingle

Isn't it McFadz and Batth?

About as fast as Isak, Holjund, Jackson at Chelsea - so mobile but not Telalovic 100m record fast

Both Garrett and Travis are more in the swashbuckling ilk than hardman but with both of those out the door we do look less physical in the middle of the park

A little bit of 30m being in the bank, a little bit of Sammie half the door and a little bit of JE starting to complain is ny bet.

From a completely unreliable source and one I shared earlier I thought the keeper we looked at was Massamba Ndiaye from France , although looking back I think that may have been confusion with Mafoumbi and Gueye

Just stuck a fiver on us to win the 2017 championship season

Amazing how gally had the game reading ability to get Sammie, BBD and Armstrong 20 goals a year each but stood on the 18 yard box every time a cross gets floated in

Were veering closer and closer to my ideas of signing Jordan Rhodes and Lewis Grabban on purely bonus style contracts for goals. Give them each 45 minutes a game and a £10k goal bonus. Between them we'd get 20 goals!

Can we stop saying get behind the lads please we don't have the pace to catch them if they're in behind

This is so frustrating. If he could time a jump and if he could stand in the right place he'd be Balloon D'or material.

Rhys Williams on a free from Liverpool would help in my view

Gally would never go to such effort to keep fit for us. Up the Big Mak!

Some strong 'Pro-Evo' names in this list

I've heard Ohashi is on his fourth medical, and they've now discovered he's now 6ft 6

Bit muddled but I'm glad you're excited

Did Weimann not once do well as a wingback one year? Probably doesn't have the legs for it anymore

I realise this is a highlight reel so by definition it's only showing the goals/good attempts but it's good to see he attacks the ball in the 6 yard box

If we shift Gally in the last year of his contract, for a physical striker with a middling record in Europe for similar or better wages then that is only good news. As previous, Carlos Villaneueva was a YouTube world beater so I can't comment on that. But let's hope Gueye is a bit nastier than Gally and can play a full season to boot. As others have said, need someone who can cross a ball (Gent lwb and Sorba Thomas rwb?) Let the Japanese lad or Leonard/Gilsenan (once fit) play off him

By any chance is one of those a very tall french goalkeeper

Can't believe how entitled you all are. Think about the state we'd be in if the court case had any impact on the Venkys ability to fund the club....
