Perhaps. I just read it as, the club have the option to make it permanent, so if he turns out to be shite or a dingle, we can can send him back.

Says it in the first paragraph?? “Widely regarded as one of the country’s brightest prospects, the 19-year-old joins on an initial loan deal, with an option of this becoming a permanent move when the transfer window opens on January 1st 2019.” Edit: I see you wrote option. I don’t see this as a problem?

Never heard of him...?

Brereton signs!!!

Not good if Samuel has done his ACL. We won't see him for a while.

Sounds like an improved version of Smallwood, in which case, that's a great signing!

Too scared Gladwin would get injured. Safer to photoshop.

Could be wrong but I thought when he signed TM said he wouldn’t be playing Saturday or Tuesday.

Didn’t this happen before? Gets to the end of his contract and then plays a blinder for a while. Gets a new deal and reverts to type?

Contracts up soon, right?

Rovers players surround Said Benrahma after the goal:

Also says one of his players stopped (and didn’t play to the whistle) in the build up to the goal. That was probably someone else’s fault also, unless he stopped because he was tangled up in the 8 foot long grass at Ewood? D*ck.

HELD! Great result!!

But Jason Lowe..........?

Absolutely!

Never expected him to drop DG. This was always a tough game and now it’s got even tougher. Not at all confident.

What did he have to say for himself then?

That's probably what i'd go with if all are fit.

Just had a quick look on the Watford website: Rodders played in 3 pre-season friendlies, looks like he played in midfield in all 3. Dusseldorf 1 - 3 Watford - Came on at half time (as part of 11 changes) and played the full 45 Stevenage 0 - 1 Watford - Started the game and played 60mins before being subbed Brentford 1 - 2 Watford - Subbed on at 60mins Watford had another pre-season game after this which he didn't feature at all, presumably he'd left at this point.

Us Rovers fans should know better than any to trust the odd media article as a true reflection of a situation in football. Cheers for the post Mackeminpeace, albeit for the grim reading it was.

Aye, it’ll take a bit of time to get match sharpness back. Not playing for that long will require some work to get him back up to speed.

Not started a league game for 348 days, according to the bbc.

Doesn't sound like the club sold him down the River. He was getting paid £70k per week to train!! Anyway, as i said, i'll give him a chance when he pulls on the shirt but surely you can see why i would be somewhat skeptical of his arrival?

Its based on Sunderland fans views. Much like Rovers fans hold Steve K**n in the same regard as something that falls out of your dogs arse but the media was quite happy to paint him as the victim and sympathise with him to the very end. I'm not writing Rodwell off but his previous at Sunderland isn't painting him in a good light for me but i'll give him a chance when he pulls on the shirt. His only saving grace is that Mogga is our manager and i don't believe he would bring a player like him in unless he knew he was going to work hard to turn his career around.
