Batth deal getting closer

New keeper needs to be next (after Danny B I suppose) but that and a winger should be our next focus. Unless this flurry of activity is our lot (which would be very worrying)

Fadz has already signed.

Purely based on squad numbers alone, surely we'd need to sign him. It's a long old season and he'd be a good squad player. I can't see how we pass up championship experience like that when as you say, it's going to take a while for the new lads to adapt (you would think)

I dunno, it seemed to come together a bit under their new manager towards the end of the season. They won a few on the bounce i think and it was probably with Tyrese Campbell upfront for the majority.

Gallagher gone to stoke

Looks like Fadz is back

He's says there is no interest

No, he won't sign a new deal. I think JDT was a big factor in his move here, with him leaving not sure how much he wants to be here. Yup, very injury prone, so he wouldn't be missed really. Don't see how he fits into the team now either tbh. Agreed. Think he was viewing us as a stepping stone to a bigger club but injuries have put an end to that.

Really wouldn't surprise me to see Sigurdsson leave.

I guess he's not as good as we all hoped he would be. Shame.

Ah fairs, hadn't seen that. Gave him a bit of a fanfare for an U21 signing.

No.mention of him being an U21's signing.

JE has also been passing around the armband in preseason. Looks like the lack of leadership JE identified has prompted him to see if there are any better captains in the squad, or maybe trying to push some others to be leaders.

Very interesting snippet that. JE and his staff identifying that we lack Pace, Power, Leadership and resilience (doesn't take a genius to work it out tbf) I assume that the key positions of GK, CB, No.9 & a No.7 (or 11) are just the key position is to address the identified weaknesses and would be supplemented with additional signings for squad depth.

Ohashi announcement imminent

With Waggott leading the charm offensive, what could go wrong?

Ohashi signing in the morning

Just saw that. Would be a ridiculous thing to say about the internal ongoings of a football club.... .....but at Rovers? Sounds right on the money.

He needs to learn about the position from Jack Vale, or so Mogga would say. Seriously though, yep it's late, he can't speak English and has a very short time to get up to speed with the English game. Add all that up and you're probably looking at sub appearances or "not being ready yet" for a few games at the start of the season.

Finally got one over the line, he looks like a big ol' unit, let's hope he knows how to use his strength. Gallagher isn't everyone's cup of tea, I'm not a huge fan myself, but he's an experienced championship player and we're shipping him out and putting all of our eggs in this guys basket. Sometimes, you've gotta shit your pants and dive right in, so maybe this change will be positive. It has to work, or we're screwed 😂

Hey up, here we go

😂😂😂 As if we still haven't announced a signing.

Jackson saying Gallagher to Stoke is at an advanced stage, should be having his medical.
