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.

Bowlers deal is dead mate trust me , embarrassed ourselves there to club and player 

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.

No point having all these centre halves coming in when Pickering is the left back. We are as strong as our weakest link.

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.

Apparently Not going to be granted work-permit I think. 

Would love PJ back.

Can anyone actually see Wolves, Hammers or Sevilla going for BBD? I can't. I think he will be here primo September. 

Anyone with some good names who could be a decent replacement for BBD 

When people are takling about Sammie Szmodics I think people are ignoring GB´s comments:
"When he was played centrally for the final 10 Championship games of last season, we saw Sammie recreate his form from League one, with four goals and an assist, along with both the creative and psychical metrics of an attacking midfielder who will add a different dimension to the group"

I think he can be played up top as striker - ala Bellamy 

Just a comment. 
 

Apparently football League World was the first source on Smodisz rumours. Might be something in the Bowler rumours  as well?  

Thanks for the answers! Really looking forward to it. Haven’t seen a rovers match in 5 years! 

Hi,

I am travelling over from Norway with my dad and younger brother for PNE away.

I would appreciate it if anyone who is a ST holder could help me get tickets. 

Best Regards,

Alexander 

Take into consideration that British players prices are very inflated. Buying cheap and mounding one might make serious profit! 

Its very sad. Messi was devestated after the final tonight.

But what a final! Makes the Euro look like an all star game.

Way to much tactics and not enough passion for my liking in the Euros.

FFS. Arte et Labore would be the first thing for most managers. PR Expert or not

I do agree with you in the sense that a proper training and fitness regime leads to less injuries.Just saying that in that instance the injuries at Bolton didn't have much to do with the way Coyle was training then,Holden had his leg broken in a match if memory serves me correctly.Hopefully with Chris Neville being involved with the fitness and conditioning side of things then we should be ok with the fitness of the squad.

Martino (new coach) and Neymar Lift their first throphy for Barca after they beat Atletico Madrid on AGG 1-1 after Atletico fail to score at Nou Camp.

Leo Messi missed a pen. Atletico got 2 reads. Felipe Luis and Arda Turan who Was at the bench at the time.

Some nice football from the Emirates Cup this weekend.

Napoli looked a little bit sluggish, but I think they can get a good season with Insigne and Higuain up front with Inler and Behrami as holding midfielder. Hamsik was hopeless against Arsenal.

Shirtsponsors is a necessity.

Shocked to come on here after a month and read these sad news. Rest in Peace Kelbo. Too bad Henning Berg didnt turn out as you wanted!

You seemed a very honest and passionate guy.

Condolonces to the family and friends.

You Are being sarcastic right?

No, not at all. Thought it was Keans signing.
