I’m disappointed we have signed one or two to strengthen the squad. But we signed some decent players this summer & if we hadn’t had injuries we be sat ok. The major one being Tommy . However , those tossers have done exactly what we did ten years ago. Older players with no sell on value . On loan players that after a year you have to keep rebuilding . If you think signing a cart horse striker is ambitious then give you head a serious wobble 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 1 minute ago, formerly known as ivan said: Not sure what is so funny. Would be nice for us to show the ambition they are! What by doubling our transfer record on a 29 year old striker? They’re spending money, granted. But firstly, that’s relative to the league they are in. The ‘ambition’ you are talking about is them being rumoured to spend around £1.1 million this window, as well as signing 5 players on loan and 6 players on a free, who have an average age of 29. There is a level of ambition to it, but if they don’t go up it could go seriously wrong. Of the players they’ve signed, a maximum of 4 have any resale value, that’s 8 transfers made with no resale value. If they don’t get in the play offs they’re going to be having a big clear out next year to avoid financial penalties. Of course, we’d like to have more players through the door this summer. But we’ve already been in their boat of signing older players with no sell on value, who constantly failed to live up to expectation. How did that go for us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 This would be a fantastic signing for Rovers. One of the leagues best strikers. We have no equivalent signings since we were in league one signing Freeman IMO. Embarrasing really. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vs us, who has money to spend but an owner who refuses to do so. I get it, we don’t like rovers, we want them to fail. But at least they are showing something, which we are not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a cart horse ok striker for league one. he’s a great signing for the pikeys as they are literally light years behind us . Tommy Conway is ten times the player. they’ve signed a multitude of loans (will never be their payer) & over the hill shite . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the equivalent to us spending £25 mill this summer and breaking our wage budget completely. It may be fun in the short term, but unless the rewards come then it could go badly badly wrong.

I was going to ask if you were talking about Wells or JCH, then I realised we haven’t been AWARDED 4 penalties in the last 50 years, so you can’t have been talking about Wells 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
