He’s at Copenhagen

Yeah think you’ll get the fee down to zero eventually to prove your point we never pay a fee for a goalie or C/b.

So the keeper was only a couple of hundred grand, when most said it was 450k, where did you get your info.

We have to keep to FFP rules, some on here don’t agree but they would be the first to moan if we had points deducted. I know clubs are bending the rules, doesn’t mean we have to, be are luck to get penalised. Yes our owners are supposed to be wealthy but said this many times, Rovers are one of 20 odd businesss they own and who knows what damage this COVID-19 has done to some of them, not sure they would be happy if owners give us millions and left them to rot. Love it if we could could go gung-ho and spend whatever but I’m realistic that we can’t. Keep looking at Wigan’s demise, Bolton earlier on, Bury etc and am just glad we aren’t, so far, in their position. Didnt expect much re transfer money this window and pleasantly surprised we’ve spent money on a permanent goalie, and also looks like they are doing the same on a c/b even if it’s not Kipre. End of the day we’re all Rovers fans but some more realistic than others, let’s get a c/b defo new l/ b and anyone else a bonus.

Yeah, don’t think people realise how much Fulham can pay players, their owner is mega rich and unfortunately Rovers can’t compete with them, regardless of what some of our fans think.

No, the main reason was we couldn’t compete with Fulham’s wages, end of the day we have a budget,regardless of how much you think the owners have, I’m afraid paying wages like we paid Rhodes has gone. Dont think there are many Venky lovers on here, but the last 3 years we have to be grateful that they keep putting money in to keep us going and a few quid for transfers.

Of course he was good enough for our midfield, you and everyone else knew Rovers tried to get him back on loan, but TM said we couldn’t compete with Fulham with what they were paying him, purely down to cash, and the fact he wanted to stay down south, nothing to do with Mowbray thinking he wasn’t good enough.

Ronan Darcy, any good, anybody heard of him.

Goalkeeping coach at Arsenal used to be at Brentford.

So you think championship is his level.

How do we know how long we’ve discussed a new contract, it’s down to the player and his agent, if they don’t agree to extend yet there’s not much we can do, we’ve done pretty good recently tying down a lot of the young one’s, but trying to extend someone like Dack, probably our best player will take a long time. Whatever we can pay, Dack and his agent know if a decent premier club comes in they could blow us away. Really hope they can extend Dack/ Nyambe contracts and add a permanent c/b and l/b and a couple of loans. We live in hope, COYB.

Think Kenny thought a hand shake was good enough until the Monday, and indeed it probably would at the time, with the majority of players, but not Keane, never liked him since.

The main reason is £3.30 a game, money well spent, go for it ⚽️?

You seem to slate Sharpe constantly because he doesn’t give anything away before we have a signing in the bag, (ruled by the club) now he’s passing on what he knows early he’s getting stick, seems he can’t win in your eyes, and anything he’s reported will not make a difference to another club coming in, think his agent will have that sorted.

Sharpe can only go on what he’s heard, Rovers in pole position and after It went to press, found out WBA are interested so obviously had to give the update.Thats an update, would have been a u- turn if what he said that Rovers were favourites was completely wrong, but was right at the time. Re 2 mil bid apologies realise you meant WBA could have, but even a premier team have to try and get a cut price deal, but looks like Duffy was first choice.

How’s it a u-turn of all time, when he reported it we were in prime position, fee and probably wages agreed, and then a premier club comes in with probably double wages, and when Sharp found out he reported that. Thats how it works, think you’re still in the Jack Walker era, when we just smashed everyone out of sight, and saying we should have gone in early with a 2 mil bid, nobody does that unless you’ve plenty of dosh, why didn’t WBA go in early, same reason, wait till they halve the fee.

Always said wait until the window shut and then decide if good or bad.

What he said they will NOT be paying transfer fees for a goalie and defender as they haven’t before, just saying it looks like this time they are. Not too difficult is it, and why the hell do my posts look like a spokesman for the PR team, folk can agree with the club sometimes and not always slagging the club off whatever they do.

Yeah seen Mr Nixon’s comments difficult to compete against if true, anyway all I said is what you’ve always said we don’t invest in defenders with paying a transfer fee regardless of how we find it, just hoping they have finally decided we need to buy permanent defenders.

No,TM has said we don’t have to sell Del Boy to fund a c/b but has to get others off the payroll to pay for others. Just think for the first time in a while,and in difficult times, we are actually trying to address the defence,and paying fees,which JH has always said Venkys won’t do.

It appears whatever we do you would find things alarming, we are actually trying to sign players in the positions that need filling. For the first time for a long time we are actually paying a fee for a goalie and hopefully centre back, something you said wouldn’t happen. You do realise sometimes you have to release players to help to buy better ones, let’s give them a little credit for trying to address the problems in defence.....

I know Ken Beir, lives in Padiham ?

Think Shef We’d fans are concerned whatever the charge was, not sure I’d like to start a season 12 points adrift.

I know a lot on here when FFP is mentioned think it’s an excuse not to spend, but believe me we are sailing close to the wind, just hope the financial guys at Rovers are making sure we keep within the guidelines, The last thing we need is a points reduction, think getting rid of quite a few on the payroll will certainly help, and replace with 2/3 quality and also lads from acadamy. See Derby got off with no penalties but their case was completely different from Rovers, their main charge was overpriced their ground where we are most concerned with going over the 39 mil over 3 years. Hopefully see the goalie signed today with a c/b by weekend, and a couple more defenders before the window closes.

Still would like to see Wharton get a lot of game time in league 1 instead of being on the bench, if we bring in 2 c/backs he might not make the bench, another season in league 1 and he will hopefully be ready for championship football,
