You are buying potential just like Hull did when they signed Hughes from Wigan when they paid around £4m for him last summer. Pye is highly rated from reports but you would pay a upfront fee and then rest in add ons and potential add ons. Something like £1.5m with £1m in addons and 10% sell on clause. true but Nixon has said that the owners are willing to back Ismael with more funds. Nixon has said they like him. Pickering isn't centre back firstly. What is spending big for the future? what is big? Pye is only 21 years old so would you expect to be better than proven championship centre backs in Carter and Hyam? he is left footed centre back which gives you more balance in your back 4.

Looking forward to this friendly, I am attend and not far of the start of season now. Should be good weather with a good crowd in the Stadium

glad you need accept the EFL and sky reason for postponed the announcement for 24 hours due to the tragic death of Jota. Glad you seen sense and understanding of the situation. different issue but one that has range of different factors which I will post in the correct thread cos this isn't it. But I think it would be inappropriate for EFL and Sky to announced the TV games just after the tragic death of Jota. The EFL clubs decided this as I posted a link from the Stoke Sentinel journalist Of course Newcastle owners should be judged on their ownership of running of Newcastle just like every owner of a football club? should it be different and what are terms of refence to that

He is very rated centre back and this is why you have scouting staff to scout players. We should be signings from League 1 and 2 players, they are some good quality players who can make the step up to championship. Over the years we haven't look enough at that level

I have answered your question several times Matty but YOU refusal to answer it. EFL clubs decided not to announce in the wake of Jota's tragic death. What don't you get? zero compassion, empathy and understanding from yourself Matty Matty has admitted he wasn't assed so what's the point of this discussion is utter pointless.

I have said all I have this issue after the pointless discussion with Matty then says he wasn't assed in the first place so what's the point anyone. I have posted my reasons on this and I have it was 24 hours delay in not announcing it. Could you not wait that long after Jota's tragic death. Like showing compassion, empathy and understanding of the Tragic death of Jota, do you think it would have been appropriate for Sky Sports to announce the TV games during that? I will leave there on this

so the owners are willing to back Ismael with more money which is interesting part of all of Nixon's 3 Rovers related story which people are missing here. On the Pye and Gassama links I think both would be good signings and would add quality to this squad. Gassama would give us the quality we want wide and Pye is very highly rated centre back. I think we should push the boat out for both. I suggested Gassama a few weeks ago when Sheffield Wednesday owner problems started going more public about not paying the wages. On Tyjon, I think we should keep him and develop him here. He is very highly rated and someone I would want to keep him Gassama's highlights for anyone who hasn't seen him https://youtu.be/L9w67uOomyk?si=ov9IDFP-E1duRdxi Also Dolan being linked with clubs in Greece and Turkey plus Bristol City want to sign him. and just like that Dave can dismissed everyone and tell everyone we won't sign either player or even others. fits your narrative here

offering big wages

Thanks for the reply Dom

so why keep mentioning it every time like a broken record. We are 5 weeks away from the season starts and last season, we made a number of signings in a bulk and we didn't anyone for 3 more weeks. Lets show some patience and lets see what happens Its a disappointed that Taveras got injured but we are overload in that area so lets show some patience and lets see in a few weeks time, it didn't affect us last season when we only signing players in Late July

I did but you didn't like the answer and you won't accept it. Its yourself one minute moaning that the TV selections haven't been announce and that next minute, I'm not assed anyway so what the exact point of all this discussion was utter pointless Matty! fuming? There is far more important issues going on to be fuming about in this world then this one

Abit unfair there. India cricket are very decent enough for test cricket but Stokes should have batted first when he won the toss. England or any Test cricket can't play Boycott style cricket cos it not their natural game. Cricket has moved from that type of cricket.

2 good wins from Lancashire in the last 2 days in the 20 overs format

I addressed the Ismael wanted 90% of signings done about 3 or 4 weeks RF99. What more do you want me to say tho I do think/hope we will sign a couple of signings in the couple of weeks Both provides players links instead of you keep going on about the same old issues that was discussed weeks ago. Depends what type of pre season he had at Rangers last season and how much involved was in in training and pre season games

I did answer it but you won't accept the answer Matty but with you not arsed either way, it just shows what a waste of time discussing it.

I meant to right Patience as I said before hence why I amended the post. Its a good point you make, teams seem to be getting on with it. Offiah is a very decent signing for PNE and he can right back and centre back, surprised we weren't interested in. Maybe we are close to signing players but will Jackson being away this week and Nicko does have some news tomorrow, so lets wait I see. what Barnsley got to do with anything? seem obsess with comparing us to them Cantwell needs pace and movement around him to be big influence on the games. His work rate is deffo there but I think a full pre season here will help

how long does it take companies house to update their website?

Yet again, why not some respect, empathy and understanding of the Jota's tragic death situation instead obsessing over possible couple of fixtures changes that will affects weeks in advance. It was one day delay. Oh my god, the world will end cos Matty doesn't know when a couple of fixtures will be change in the opening rounds of fixtures EFL and Sky wanted to show some compassion, empathy and moral understanding of how the football community felt over the tragic death of Jota. How do you not get that leaves me speechless now. Did moving the Hull game affect your plans to attend that game? Or would you still watch at home anyway regardless of kick off time

Why are they so important to publish after such tragic death to a player on the same day?

Can I ask how long does it take Company houses to update their online info?

And people say I lacked empathy and don't understand the situation..feck me guys I just give it. It rock the football world especially here anc Portugal Just woah. It was few TV games announcements at the end of the day, nothing ground breaking or nothing could be announced the day after this tragic death

I don't follow Liverpool but I saw the tweet yesterday after it was reposted by another Rovers fan account

I am hopefully we will sign 2 or 3 around the Stanley and Everton friendlies games. I never said by next week We have signed 2 players which we never seen before and none of us know anything about them. Yet again, I have addressed the Ismael's comments previously but sadly you don't read it or choose to ignore it but bringing in back up time after time. Lowest possible standards? 😂totally laughable comments

It's was EFL and Sky Sports decision
