No it is factual, these players have been brought in because they have Northern Nous, they have not been brought in because they are exciting young prospects who will eventually be playing for Manchester City or Barcelona. These guys are at our club because they know how to Rock and Roll, they are not here to Tip Toe Through The Tulips. There is nothing about these characters that says "After You Claude". With all due respect, if you look at your original post to try to pick out the facts and opinions
"Players signed for their tenacity" - Opinion, but based on what the manager has been saying and I think what a lot of other fans agree with this is probably a reasonable supposition. "Two are 30 plus and have only one year deals" - Fact, based on the information released by the club. "So they have travelled south for one last pay day" - Opinion, how can you possibly know what they have been offered money wise, if they had other deals offered, what their motivations were etc... "The other two in their twenties would not be wanted by any team above level four" - Opinion, how do you know what other every other team/managers think of these players?
Lots of opinion not a lot of fact for me...
On your last post - I also think that they have been brought in to add a bit of grit and determination to the team. I don't think we would have the chance of signing any young prospects who are touted to be future Man City or Barcelona players as they tend to be playing for other top flight clubs even from a young age. Just my opinions of course.

We can argue about facts and opinions for ever and a day.
1) The signed players in the 30 -35 age bracket know they are close to the end and have taken the best opportunity available to see out their careers, Rovers will offer very good pay at level 4. They have not come south to Bristol for the cider. 2) The signed players in their 25 -29 age bracket gave come to the Rovers because they are getting decent level 4 deals. Never mind being pursued by Man City or Barcelona, these players are not being sought by any higher clubs paying more than Rovers. These guys have been brought in by the manager because they have certain attributes i.e. mentally tough with a take charge leadership attitude, they know their way around a football field. How do I know I am right on the above points - well that will be proven at the end of next season because none will be sold on for large money, or have a future higher than the Rovers, but our club is likely to win more games than we lose.

It sounds like Coutts is an Upson style player and Finley is like an Ollie Clarke.
I remember playing Sheff Utd the season they went up and we drew 0-0 at home, I was really really impressed with how they played that day in midfield. Couldn't remember one single player as such but Coutts played in that game and I just remember them looking playing some really fluid nice stuff.

IMO, four very good signings, well done Joey; cannot wait for preseason, buzzing.

So, the new signings are three Northerners and a Scot - just the sort you need for an away game on a cold Tuesday night in Barrow, Salford or Harrogate.
When was the last time we had this Northern and north of the border mix? Maybe 1973/74 with Big Jim Eadie, Stanton, Warboys, Bannister, Dobson - worked out well then!

I wish him all the best, but that Fleetwood kid does my nut in 😂
We'll have to wait and see what they all bring, but they're the kind of players that Joey feels can bring a good influence on the group and contribute to the cause so I will have to hope they deliver. Welcome to you all lads! Let's make magic together! #UTG
