We will still sign loan players....if we sell szmodic what are they really going to spend? £1 or £2 million?

Telegraph saying we do have a year option on Hyam

We know for sure loans will happen, and on the evidence of the recruitment so far we should feel confident better than Markanday will be brought in

It's Ipswich fucking about with piss poor bids FFS .

At the end of the day Szmodic is playing and playing well,goal scored and an assist .Wether it was the clubs decision or Szmodic insistence they gave him 3 weeks off more or less to get the deal sorted and Ipswich haven't met the clubs valuation. If the club are overvaluing Szmodic in his opinion and feels we should be accepting the offer from Ipswich and he is really unhappy with the club then instead of playing well and putting himself at risk of injury then would he not be putting a transfer request in?

Even if Szmodic is pissed off it isn't effecting his performances.If someone pays the fee or Rovers cave in then he will get his move, if he doesn't then he might sulk for a bit but it will serve no purpose to him playing poorly

Good team.I wouldn't have started Brittain or Pickering with our lack of senior cover though

The incident Vs Boro when Braintwaithe nearly took Fry's eye out and then Warnock's OTT reaction affected Braintwaithe,pre that game he looked a lot better after that he was poor but you could see he had something

Sounds like they have loads of injuries.I think we are gonna give them a hiding, like we did to other lower league teams in the early rounds last year ,when a number of our younger players played Id be giving Duru a start at rb and Batty at left back .We shouldn't be risking Brittain and Pickering when we have no senior cover in the building, and Duru and Batty need looking at in a more competitive game

After Peterborough have taken their cut and Szmodic loyalty bonus ,and in the fee to Pboro and wages paid to Szmodic we would be making minuscule profit for the championship top goalscorer last season and our most important player In this instance I don't see how Rovers are in the wrong...even tho if the fee really is only £9 million that we would accept then I still think that is too cheap .

100%

Be a loan presumably

So I didn't see you moaning about the fee we got for Wharton?

We don't have to sell him. If Ipswich want to buy him then they have to pay what we have asked for. It really is that simple

If he signed a new contract on the basis he could join a premier league club for a specific fee then why wouldn't have not just been put in his contract? I'm honestly not buying this bullshit gentleman's agreement.It makes no sense for it not to be just put In his contract.

If the bids only reach £8.5 million then we shouldn't sell him it's as simple as that . If Sammie does as you say and throws his toys out the pram then so what?He might miss a couple of games but he won't go on strike indefinitely and it will serve him no purpose to play poorly here . Also only palace were willing to bid for Wharton and pay £18.5 million I'm sure you described that as a poor fee received

What didn't I get?I never said it was a British goalkeeper. We already had tronstad who is foreign and doesn't use up one of the slots Next time il make sure I use the correct terminology for you Rigger

Ok sorry you were just pointing out the obvious

Exactly, I wouldn't begrudge him a move to the premier league but the fees being spoke about are too low imo Sammie saved us last season but it is a two way street....Sammie has been superb for us but Rovers have been very good for him aswell, he has transformed as a player since he signed here.

Yeah I never said he was British did I ?I said he wouldn't take one of the slots

Rovers are not in the wrong waiting for the valuation to be met .If Ipswich want him then pay the fee If we are truly willing to do a deal under £10 million then it is a bargain Struggling to see where you are coming from in your post.Rovers should bow down and accept a pathetic £8.5 million from Ipswich because we can't deny Szmodic his move. I don't know about you JB but I'm a rovers fan first .Sammie can have his move if a club is willing to pay for him

He said the first choice goalkeeper of we get him wouldn't take one of the foreigner slots

We need to have put a bid in to have lost out to them He started following the club and the initial interest was last season under Broughton and the old recruitment staff

From nixon he was asked if we are keeping a foreign slot for the goalkeeper, and he said number one choice for the keeper position wouldn't take one of the overseas slots

You were saying the same thing the day Nixon linked us with Big Mak ,3 days later he signed You can't possibly know if discussions with the player have taken place
