Are these sources legitimate or are they merely regurgitating the rumour off social media?

IF it's happened, which I still doubt, then there'd be far more value for Rovers in making him put the cones out in training for 6 months than allowing him to move to Bournemouth.

Was about to say, makes a change from slagging Nyambe off I suppose.

Great. Let's get the stocks out and pelt him with rotten tomatoes then hang, draw and quarter him in front of the town hall. A few days ago people were correctly saying that under no circumstances whatsoever should he be sold to our main rivals. Now some people seemingly can't wait to get rid of him. IF he's not happy, (of which there's no evidence whatsoever anyway) then tough!

Blimey, if I think it's a poor signing before he gets here and not what we néed I'll say so thanks very much. Please feel free to remind me of my comments if he turns out to be a star for us as we all hope IF it goes through.

I never said any different.

JFHC.

Will do, but I'm entitled to my view on the signing before it happens.

He's not going anywhere. Odd how people can maliciously spread shite on the internet, people take it as gospel and the player in question suddenly becomes public enemy number one without even doing anything.

I'd be amazed if Rothwell is going anywhere. Honestly, some people will believe any old guff they read on social media. Not very happy with the Hedges signing if it's gone through. Scraping the barrel there imo.

Hasn't he gone to Brentford?

The "foreign" target that Mowbray's been on about or another one?

Phew!

According to the MEN his deal with Bournemouth was a loan with an OPTION to buy at £12m + £3m in add ons OR an OBLIGATION to buy at £9m + £12m in add ons IF they're promoted. No idea if this particular player is any good but if he is then in theory given the one off position we're in, that's the sort of ambition we should be showing imo. (Elliott?) Not Ryan bleeding Hedges.

I disagree but football's a game of opinions.

Think there's one already tbf. Someone posts an inflammatory comment on here on the contract situation from either side and it snowballs from there. Don't think we've detracted too much from transfer news over the last day or so as there doesn't seem to have been any. Hopefully the calm before the storm!

They would be if they were under contract.

Most of what you say is technically correct of course but that is even more reason for ensuring that your prize assets are looked after at the appropriate time and not at the last minute when all the power is in the players' hands. £30 m worth of talent potentially walking out for free in summer if we don't go up.

Good signing or pretty desperate? I can't decide.

Didn't anyone remember to bring a pen with them then? 🙂

Sometimes works. I branded Grabbi something similar after seeing his first outing in a friendly and remember being rounded upon by Lee Grooby formerly of this parish. (Hi Lee if you still read this site, hope you're well)

Exactly! 👍 Also, in general, we shouldn't be happy with a point anywhere although of course in practice we will have the odd slip up or two. Just hopefully no more than six or seven though! (assuming we get the odd draw as well)

Terrible goal keeping but another £10m on his transfer value. Happy Days. Lovely to see how much enthusiasm Ben generates in Chile. I was reading the first few pages of the Sam Gallagher thread and there are some truly embarrassing comments about Ben on there including one from myself insinuating he may have been a waste of £7m and I always thought I was pretty supportive of him and said I could see a hint of a player trying to get out. 😳

You're missing the point entirely. Every single game between now and the end of the season are "must win" games. (unless we get to 12 wins first and with the possible exception of Fulham away) The team can't afford to go into any game thinking "I'll settle for a point today" so I'm not sure why any of us supporters should think any differently. If however that's what transpires after we've given it our all and as long as we've left everything out on the pitch so be it. Any game we draw from hereon in should be considered a poor result though and not something we'd be happy with before kick off.

JRC has shown nothing whatsoever at senior level to date to suggest he's up to the grade, if you were arguing Lenihan or Rothwell were better than Nyambe at least there's a debate to be had but to claim JRC is better than Nyambe is simply ludicrous. You might as well say Butterworth or Chapman are better.
