Very credible source. Aaron has several inside sources that he gathers information from and shares publicly with the Rovers fanbase via YouTube and Twitter.

Not reliable in the slightest. Absolutely non-runner. Seems to think he's got links with the club cause he turns up 4 hours before kick off on match days.

Hardly an exclusive has he is claiming given it was in the rumour mill the day before

He puts a lot of time and effort in to producing his site. I am a regular listener but football being what it is he may well be wrong because it takes a lot of time and effort to get a deal over the line, as we all know.

He certainly provokes interest even if he gets it wrong.

Chall spends a lot of time on his YouTube and Twitter coverage of the club...he isn't a journalist though and has no inside sources - at least, I'd be very surprised if he does - despite his recent claims. He wants to be in sports journalism but seems to have decided just in the last few days that instead of just keeping going with his YouTube stuff, which has got him some traction online in the fanbase, that he wants to be a Fabrizio Romano-esque 'In The Know' account and I don't think people have taken too well to it.

If you have an inside source and keep sharing the info you won't have an inside source for long.

He's claiming inside knowledge from the Portsmouth end.

GM has already made his comments based on the speculation.

Nothing more to add to what's already been said in the Rumour Mill.

Whether something has been agreed in principle or not, other factors, such as the player himself may be decisive.

He seems to like the sound of his own voice.

He’s a young chap putting out YouTube content and he is a fan, I’ve watched his content closely and he’s doing well. He’s certainly energised some of the youth which can only be a good thing - he wears his heart on his sleeve & gets carried away at times but we were all young once, give the kid a break.

I watch his YouTube content and although he does get things wrong time to time his content on the whole is very good and enjoyable to watch . At least someone is out there covering all things rovers if u enjoy that sort of thing

You can’t fault his enthusiasm and love of the club, the effort he puts into his videos is to be applauded. As to the factual content it could be to suit his video. Personally don’t think he’s in the know but it’s a great hobby for the lad

Why are you saying “Aaron has” rather than “I have” when it is you haha. Your forum name Chall kind of gives it away hahahaha.

I’m sure there will be a solid utility man type player available for us cheaper than Freeman.

Someone who can cover Knoyle and Clayton at the same time would be ideal.

I like his content and can only admire the work he puts into it. I actually think it’s really well produced and he’s quite the character. But I don’t for a minute think he’s in the know, and I feel like this desperation to push the Freeman story isn’t needed.
