Stansfield for £6m been linked this morning by Nixon 😂 As well as trying to get Trav off the books again, this time to Hull.

I'm not sure he's a serious target.

If they rule in the clubs favour, they wouldn't be in a position to tell them they don't need that money?!

Quicker than I thought, I was pretty sure that the club/Eustace ruled him out for "most" of this season.

Guessing they now have enough to get them through this season. The hope will be that Gueye bags 20 goals and he is the next one next summer to command a fee, possible outside bet of someone like Carter getting a decent fee too. Rinse and repeat, the hope will always be that someone steps up and can he sold.

As much as i like him, losing Szmodics isn't the problem, change is constant in football and is probably the only constant. The massive issue will come to a head 6 months from now when we have one again failed to replace him properly and go hurtling down the league again. 2 weeks to do something, and I think I know what that will be going off recent history.

Let's be honest, whenever we have sold our best player we have always been worse off after.

We loaned him for 6 months from Man City

That's from his press conference today.

Eustace again is saying nothing is close regarding incomings. In the last week we have seen Eustace saying he wants 5 more players, to Waggott/Rudy saying 2 or 3, to now Eustace saying today "If they don't happen we have got a great group anyway". Doesn't bode well.

Still think we could fill them positions, but they would all be loans.

Definitely folk carried away after beating one of the worst sides in the division and a glorified academy team the other night. Norwich 2 Rovers 0 and its back down to earth.

This version of Rovers aren't paying anyone 25k a week.

I think that's the case anyway, I don't expect any more permanent deals this summer. We still have 5 loan spots we can use and I expect us to fill most of them.

Be very rare for a transfer to go through for anyone say under the age of 28 without a sell on clause included, it's standard transfer practice.

That's our fault for agreeing to it if you feel like that, not Peterborough's. If they wanted to add a sell on cause into the deal, they are perfectly entitled to do so.

Why wouldn't they?

No chance would be permanent, he's contracted until 2028.

Very strange take that you want him to force a move, yet were very vocal about Gestede doing the same years ago when he was appointed.

Yet was up in arms about Gestede being appointed because he did the exact same thing he is encouraging Szmodics to do!

I think he will go with the following... Pears Duru Carter Batth Pickering Markandey Buckley Tronstad Weimann Sigurdsson Ohashi Tyjon off the bench at some point. Back down to earth with a 2-1 defeat and the urgent need for reinforcements hammered home.

I imagine there's nobody at Rovers that realises this. Or just can't be arsed with the paperwork. Or it could be we just want him and his wages off the books and it's nothing to do with the ESC spot.

Gets his wages off the books a year earlier, and we can replace him with a cheaper wage.

Got Brad Collins all over it, absent from the Cov squad yesterday. I think it's nice to have a variety in midfield, do you really think we are going to sign 2 midfielders? I just don't see it.
