I've have seen an increase this summer of these wannabe journalist/ITK accounts, I really don't know what they get out of it. This guy is an example, he joined Twitter this month..

Anyone know enough German to figure out what this says. Looking at the other article he could be one to avoid. 

@Hannoverover might know?

https://www.ohleuven.com/nieuws/1751532/ohl-leent-doelman-iversen Daniel Iversen is out of the picture.

This german paper is linking us to Philipp Hofmann. The article just does say that we are one of many interested clubs.

Nothing since last week. Young, PL, Loan keepers most likely. 

I saw the name Kelleher from Liverpool mentioned on Twitter, could he be a possibility ?

My slightly tongue in cheek response, is how would Rich Sharpe know?

We've other highlights to look forward to. The player move that breaks down after Mowbray has told him he won't go straight into the team and has to learn how we do things and/or has to talk to someone about how to play his position.

My personal favourite:the 'we put a couple of £1 million bids in late on deadline day, but couldn't get them over the line'.

This summer we can't wait until deadline day, at least one GK and one CB should be signed before pre season starts.

No bid made for Dillion Phillips according to Rich Sharpe.

Same guy that said we had bid for Jordan Jones..

This guy has 74 followers, so 99% of this is probably incorrect. But I will post it anyway since there is not much else going on. Silly season isn't it? ?‍♂️

Yes you have mention him on here before. I wouldn't be surprise if we did look at him. what are his strengths and weaknesses?

He is not the tallest CB, but he is very good in the air. He is also a leader and fairly quick. Weaknesses, he is quite young so he will make mistakes and also gets too many yellow cards (8 this season).

This article is in norwegian and I have mentioned this guy before. After Brighton have signed Veltman and Ben White is back he is now further down the line. And he says that he won't go back to 2 Bundesliga, Brighton is working towards loaning him out to a Championship club or selling him. Since we are looking for a CB we should be all over this, very promising player.

Nope not yet. If I hear something I will post it. But he can't/won't stay as 2nd choice and he's been to England before.... just putting 2 and 2 together.

 

He is a very good keeper, especially at championship level. Played for Germany and even won the world cup.

What about Marc Stendera, he has played for Hannover this season and is now without a club ?

Wtih the names of Patrick Erras, Linus Wahlqvist and Florian Hartherz popping up, it seems like we are focusing on the german market. 

Last summer we were also looking at Robin Bormuth from Fortuna Dusseldorf, seems a bit strange that we haven't approached him yet as he is a free agent now.

In German, but says that supposed midfield target Patrick Erras has chosen Werder Bremen over us.

A quick google translate says this :

"The Bremen sports director picked up the phone on Tuesday evening. Erras had prepared for a trip to England and wanted to negotiate with second division Blackburn Rovers. When he found out about the serious interest from Bremen, he immediately set off on Wednesday"

Can't blame him!

Waldemar Anton has joined Stuttgart from Hannover 96. He's been mentioned here last year I think - I've seen him a few times but not the greatest fan. He was the captain of the worst defence Hannover has had since I've been living in Hannover. I still think Ron robert Zieler (ex Man utd and Leicester) will end up here. Hannover have just bought his replacement....

Have you had any indication that he is heading here ?

@Swanson you are big fan of Iversen, keeper from Leicester? Seems to remember you suggesting him. 

No, I think you are mixing names with Iversen and Hansen (who I have mentioned here a few times before).

Just now, Mercer said:

Someone on here posted Rovers wanted Connor Ripley.

Understand, we've been watching a French lad (which will delight @chaddyrovers ) - Michel at Auxerre; if correct, think he'd be coming as our number 1.

This guy ?  https://www.transfermarkt.com/mathieu-michel/profil/spieler/193142

According to someone I was speaking to this morning we're after Chris Brunt. Not for me personally as he's 36 in December but the source thought this was an indication we had no money.

Also if the source is correct Downing has been on very healthy money here indeed so I'd have thought he'd need to agree a massive cut to be here next season.

I'd steer clear of both personally.

He hasn't just read this masterpiece of an article ?

One of the players suggest there is Chris Brunt. (and Jason Steele ?)
