When you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.
I am afraid we will get the same as what we got for Rothwell, Lenihan, & Nyambe.
He needs to go in this window.
We don’t need the risk of an injury or a drop in form diluting the price.
Plus the ability to pre sign a contract in January and all the head games that go with that.

Spot on, I'd rather have A Wharton than Morton, Clarkson was shite, so really is there actually any point in this.?
Well we did a great job with Harvey Elliott. He did a great job for us.

With Maupay signed for Everton, the Diaz of a bumper payout may be dwindling.
could be 10 million plus add ons

I count our blessings that Jack Walker didn't see us as a project. I like Tomasson but I thought he had more about him than that. We are a professional football club and everything revolves around what happens on the pitch. Stagnation will set in if they are setting a multi year target. I currently see very little happening to indicate to me we are to improve on last years final position.
In fairness Jack did see us as a project. It was his pet project. The stars aligned. He made very good money, He had a vision for Rovers and from the ground to the training facilities, to the manager, he went for the best. It took time, and project management, but his burning ambition and passion for the club made all the difference. Yin and Yang.

When does the title of this thread change to "we're doomed"?
I think the interim title should be “Transfers - Ask Geoff”

I want my acid reflux to recede. It happens around page 536 every season.

No idea why.
Don't want him injured sitting in the shop window.

Interesting read about Robin Friday who played for Reading
Extraordinary story. Taking the bad boy of football to a to a completely lower level. Although with current stories knocking around maybe not.

“And now for something completely different 🦶”
Great quote from Travis on team briefings with JDT
“I think it helps, in meetings previously you could maybe doze off if you were a little tired. You never know if he will ask you a question so everyone is focusing and that's good."

Time for Ash Phillips to show us what all the fuss is about it seems... we'll be right behind you lad, do us all proud. And search youtube for Phil Jones v Drogba for invaluable lessons on how to handle yourself as a youth in a man's game. 👍
If you are good enough, you are old enough.

Hartlepool's manager is called Paul Hartley?
I do like a bit of nominative determinism.
That had me scurrying for my wikipedia. What a great hypothesis.
I once knew a guy in customer service called Joe Terrible. True that.

Regarding the JPVH rumours, could it perhaps have something to do with Brighton playing at Old Trafford on Saturday?
Duffy gone to Fulham. May provide an opening for JPVH at Brighton

Looks like Sheffield United will be in the same lake as us fishing for a centre back.

Cant sell if theres no takers!
Methinks they all know he is in final year and waiting until the end of the Summer window to pounce for a knockdown price. Just a question of who.

Looks like the 400 will be up before tea and no news falling.

3 points first day of the season. Thank you very much.

Substitution, Peterborough United. Hector Kyprianou replaces Sammie Szmodics. 🤔

Nyambe not even on the subs bench. Getting the change he wanted. 🤔

In a normal football world, you'd want to kick off a new season with new signings all in place and embedded in to the club so you hit the ground running with the players raring to go, competition for places high and your strongest possible team out on the park. Why we cannot do this is a mystery and why anyone should think it is acceptable is a mystery as well. It doesn't make any sense to me at all.
Trouble is everything is starting early because of The World Cup. Those managers in place at the end of the season had an advantage.
More games will be played this season before the window closes and managers will see who they need and don’t need. That’s when things will get hairy.
Boro and Sheff Utd have “gone ugly early” and will on this occasion reap the benefits.
We seem to have a lot of layers. Head of recruitment, DOF, Waggott, JDT, and the Venkys layers. I hope they have their job descriptions worked out before the window closes.

Wouldn’t want to share my innermost secrets with Barry Fry. He’s got a bigger mouth than the Thames Estuary.
Doesn’t want to lose his best players but shopping them like Black Friday.

He didn't say from Rovers.
I am not convinced Cantwell was ever likely to go anywhere, if indeed an interest was there. How are you so sure that it was real?
Absolutely. He isn't close to imminently leaving/hasn't got a club deep in talks with us like those other players aren't imminently coming here.
Options for Diaz and us are narrowing.
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?

Adequate money to invest in an adequate replacement or two?
