Correct me if wrong but apart from Lawrence all outfield players are now over 21 then count in the numbers. Would mean 12 + Clarke/Ward/Grant.
At least 5 slots available for over 21 year olds then.

Have added ages (is 1/8/23 the right cut off?) Good age squad there! Can't say they are too young any more |

I know it was said and, i think, during a World Cup. I seem to remember Norman Whiteside being a part of the conversation. I just can’t remember |

Hope so, so we can start discussing all our thoughts on the new arrivals to Gas island! Be good to get the business done early, if we are to lose Azza be good to get his replacement in before he leaves, so our pants are not pulled down! |

You’re right it would be good to get it done early but this is Rovers…..The last time we got it done early was Summer 2020 when the results ended up disastrously! (After all, TW had been working a few windows ahead!!) Although iirc we recruited lots of players, just not the right ones! ☹️ I’ll settle for recruiting the right ones even if we go to the last day, which we probably will. UTG! |

To be fair, it wasn’t promised, i don’t think, it was what he wanted to happen. I guess all we can do is speculate and hope, tat is the rovers way, after all |

I think the manager likes to tell us what he’d like to happen rather than what does happen but still a little premature. Personally i do not expect 12 players, i will make a guess at 5. Wael has spent more than was budgeted for so who knows how keen he will be to spend even more |

Currently 6 slots for over 21's. Will others all be young loanees? |

If no one contracted leaves then we need minimum of 6 or 7. Probably 8-10 min depending on departures.
12 probs top end.

June tomorrow. Early business was promised. So far, just Josh Grant added to the list. News coming in soon as players return from their hols? Just because no signings have been announced doesn't mean that there has been no early business agreed. All kinds of reasons to keep it quiet. Firstly players contracts don't end until the 30th June and so new contracts don't start until 1st July . Public announcements alert your competitors to availability and also make you look stupid if the player back tracks before the contract becomes legally enforceable. Secondly transfer window doesnt open for another 14 days - wait until deal is done before saying too much. Club also wants to make maximum publicity and create excitement of new signing and people need to be available for interviews . Perhaps the player is on holiday now- particularly if he was in the play offs - and is not available for comment. |

All we can do is hope that the new players are of decent quality as there are plenty of players but getting the right ones is the most important. Early days yet |
