That was my thinking as well. Honestly I can't remember that he played and as a former Rover I would definitely remember if he did well.

I didnt even notice Khadra.

What a deadline day it’s going to be! 🥳 who is going to replace Brereton then? if we are looking at Coventry for players I would like Gyokeres another name worth looking at is Keinan Davis and also maybe Mark Harris who our head of recruitment know well. That would maybe include Luke Jephcott. it isn’t very inspiring. Not many strikers out there

I think Ive read that he is good at bringing the ball forward from CB position

There Are no good YouTube videos about Hyam. Dont want him.

I think BBD to Villa has legs. Hopefully we will Get Cameron Archer to us as part of the deal.

Its crazy. Look at the prize of Anthony Gordon (60m?????) Demand and supply after British players is totally fecked because of the strict rules regarding work-permits. Suffering as always are the smaller clubs with smaller budgets.

Whether or not we got Marius Lode. One thing is for sure. We are doing our business very quietly.

I didn't say he was good or bad, just that I think our name might be linked to him.

Norwegian leftback Fredrik Bjørkan who was sold to Hertha Berlin from Bodø Glimt is being linked with a loan to Norwich. Will be exciting to see if we will be linked as well due to Greggs Bodø Glimt history and having worked with Fredrik for two years. https://www.getfootballnewsgermany.com/2022/norwich-city-make-enquiry-for-hertha-berlins-fredrik-andre-bjorkan/

Yes, they did 6 days ago https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/aug/17/everton-and-bournemouth-enter-race-for-blackburn-striker-ben-brereton-diaz

Gus Williams is head of recruitment; Our biggest problem I think is the timing of the different roles. Everything should be in place earlier, but sometimes the recruitment process takes time and look at more prestigious clubs also having troubles getting the right head coach and structure in place. It is okay to be negative and don't buy in to the project. I for one enjoy Rovers as a club with a crop of players from their own academy sometimes losing instead of Danny Murphies looking for a last pay-day.

Agree and as I pointed out earlier. It was this improvement of homegrown players Gregg did at Bodo Glimt. Putting together a structure and leading a academy which long-term provides good money and makes the money self-financing and in a good financial position. However most of the money from player sales came from a crop of players who went through the academy at Bodo Glimt and it is a bit early to deem it a success.

I refuse to think its possible to spend 7 days to get permission to conclude a deal. IF so then its micromanagement at its worst

Apparently not and according to a poster we are in for him again trying to outbid Brighton to get him in on a perm deal.

Or maybe he didn't get the move and is sulking. Still stuck at Blackpool

I think that those who expect a lot of transfers in might become very disappointed. IF the owners/Waggot went for Gregg Broughton because of his previous experience and great work at Bodo Glimt we will focus on developing our own academy players. This was how Gregg worked at Bodo Glimt. He nurtured and developed Bodo glimts own talent and made a football academy with a cat 1 status (top tier). Glimt then sold many of the talented players for big money and today they are continuing bringing up new players despite selling their best. They are one of the richest clubs in Norway and tonight they play champions league qualifier against Dinamo Zagreb which can bring them 20m in the bank account if they qualify. Its an adventure. I think GBs job is to put a structure in play which lays the same foundation, a common playing style so that if you change manager you now who to pick because he has to fit a specific style. Later on in player recruitment you know much better where and who to look at.

Wonder if we could be able to Get Cameron Archer on loan from Villa. Have seen that they tried to include him in the Sarr deal. I still stand by B.Williams from Manchester United as LB.

Berget is not the answer. Already failed once in England. Don't want him here and especially considering his age. Sparksrover: How you can say that we don't have warriors in midfield is beyond me. Travis is a real warrior.

Brendon Williams plays both RB and LB. His contact runs put in 2022. Could be a loan from United with option to buy. However wages probably way too high, but a way to overcome that is a 3y contact with a sign-on fee on 2.080.000 which means 20k p/w

Sevilla struggling to score at Home turf against Rayo Vallecano. Might come back for Diiiiiiaz?

Hopefully we step up and give a response on wednesdays dross. want to see us Line up like this: Kaminski, Brittain, Philips, Ayala, Pickering, Edun Buckley Travis Morton Gallagher Diaz Sheff U have a very good midfield and we were overrun there against Reading. They also like to have Wingbacks high up the pitch and we need to address that. Buckley, Travis and Morton are more than capable of switching play and finding pockets in the channels for Diaz to run in. A bit concerning that Gally doesn't have much space.

I agree Cambridge. At CB we have Ayala, Wharton, Carter and Philips. No need for more CBs (maybe one). We need a back who can play both left and right. We also need another striker/winger. However I don't want many incomings that puts our own young players in the background. This is a fundament we have built these last years and even though the results are a bit jojo we have a squad with a lot of our own academy players to be proud of. Yesterday was really really bad, but they will learn from it and credit where its due. Ince produced a masterclass against us.
