Those with rose tinted specs said come back a couple of days before the start of the season, and if we haven't signed anyone, then is the time to worry.

Well, here we are. Our main goalscorer leaving, and absolutely no word of anyone coming in.

It's pathetic.

Daft if you think we haven't got something lined up behind the scenes.

Stop worrying over something that doesn't directly affect you.

Things will work out in the end.

I would have thought with you knowing the details of the Marquis deal you wouldn’t need to ask that question 😀

On radio dee dah I am sure it was said that the club were hoping for signings hopefully before the weekend, I might add that it is not unusual, Kane being a surprise at Southend, also two players who had trained with us for a week before in secret playing in the first game at Accrington, Houghton and touch em up.

There are some funny folk.

The reason it happened so late I imagine is because we were holding out for a higher price. Club has indicated as much last few weeks via Free Press: ‘bids not near valuation’.

We cannot force other clubs to pay more. Either we sold for lower amount earlier and have folk complaining about losing him for buttons, or hold out for the fee we wanted.

That it came so late is not ideal but keep in mind that Rovers WON here! We got what we wanted in terms of fee seemingly.

Its no surprise he's going and anything over 1M will be good business. He's a good player - legend, but doesn't  finish enough chances for the championship.

We do still need a couple of players and it could be playing catch up. I think it could have been done better boardroom level.


Now if Whiteman left !!!

McCann said weeks ago that planning was already well advanced for scenarios should Marquis leave. No reason to think that this has not continued to be the case.

Not bad business. Fee transfer loads of goals and a tidy profit.

Yes at the same time we were told we had numerous quality signing lined up, non materialised, so theres perhaps good reason to think Mccanns plans have been binned

We need more than a couple. 5 I reckon including a marquis replacement.

I was allowing for  Baptiste and Ward, both good signings.

I think the fee will be undisclosed.

We are a well run club no chance of going down the road of so many, but no ambition.
