Wasn't that in the summer, prior to the budget reduction? In which case it would be reasonable to expect we should be able to spend a percentage of what gets brought in. But even that doesn't seem to be happening.

Wharton finally announced by palace https://x.com/CPFC/status/1753122855347273956?s=20

Funny you mention him. Just seen him having a medical at Brockhall (Toni that is, not a young attacker). More seriously if we sign McGuire and the Liverpool defender, surely we can rule out further loans due to match day squad limits.

Ennis to stoke reported by Bayes. That's like an RKO out of nowhere.

These are the figures from the same journo yesterday. Dont know the exact exchange rate but would think these convert to higher figures than what was being reported on this side. So perhaps the numbers are elevated again with the new deal.

Don't know how true this is but...

I wouldn't say it's bs, but it it stating the obvious. If we're reliant on funds from Palace to sign someone, and they don't complete the transfer and send money until 1050pm, we've no money to spend. Or certainly not the funds for a multi million pound transfer.

Even when combined with football media reporters stating we've pulled the deal? On that logic, you can't have believed we were in for a deal based on the same reporters and the relative having followed half a dozen Rovers accounts?

Perhaps not but she's not following the Rovers sites anymore. She'd have no reason to say anything at all if it was likely to still happen.

Along these lines? GB to Vs: if we sell Wharton with 18m up front going to 22m, can we spend 10m? V: yes GB: ok, so we've signed the experienced defender we wanted on a free. We've negotiated £3m on a striker and he's flying over. Also some enquiries for defenders. Still all good? V: oh, we meant you could spend 10m on running the club generally. You don't need to pay for players, you showed that earlier. Raul and Ronaldinho aren't playing for anyone, have you tried them?

The only way I can see this being a miscommunication is if the Wharton transfer took longer than anticipated to complete and we told Orlando we couldnt complete the transfer at that time. However what is more concerning is the report that all transfers with fees are off, particularly as the Wharton transfer seems complete. What a sh*t show. If Venkys have changed it so we can't spend any of the Wharton funds, theres no model to work with. Hope for the player's sake a transfer is completed, be it with us or another championship club, and Orlando get what was agreed with us.

Hoping this is correct for many reasons, where have you seen the reports?

Tronstad, JRC, Garrett, ayari and Buckley to return? For the 2 deeper roles?

How peculiar. I saw a post on twitter from an Orlando fan account stating they were bidding 2m+ for this guy - surely we're not signing Orlando's striker and the player they're targeting?!

😭😭😭

We want strikers, experience, and a signing that makes us feel younger. I have the answer.

Genuinely want to know who you think we can reasonably and realistically sign. Say we can spend maybe £12m, including signing on and agents fees etc, who do you suggest we sign which doesn't break our wage structure i.e. around 15k for our key, senior players.

Apologies if already posted, Telegraph journo stating fee agreed and an Orlando fan account indicate the team is in turn spending the cash (albeit a player in a different position)

We'll also have likely received a loan fee. Even £100k, as little as it is in football terms, would help us if there have been any more cash flow issues.

Update on potentially signing a player's mum/family member/fan with the same surname: they've liked a couple of goal highlights from Monday night and someone asking a journo for updates on McGuire's move to Rovers. No owls related likes I can see.

Even with flex we won't sign many Prem players - our top earner is believed to be on around £15k a week. We might even be trying to get this down given the lack of negotiation with Gally. Plenty of Prem youngsters are likely on this or significantly more. We did, however, get a player permanently from Erdivisie. I'd say that's a relatively big and certainly not a minor league. He doesnt have to sign a contract with them or even entertain negotiations.

Doesn't look like it. Following official Rovers account and 2 Rovers news accounts.

Putting aside that he isn't flavour of the month, Wahlstedt clearly evidences this isn't the case. Pulled out of a move to Brondby when we came in.

Post of the day. Slightly stalkerish too.
