I'm being tongue in cheek hence the but "impatient" isnt really fair. We have one fit CB! So we switch to a back 3 🫣 And play two people out of position instead of 1?

So we switch to a back 3 🫣 And play two people out of position instead of 1? I 100% agree with you that we need CBs and fast, but years have told me that we need to be patient, and trust the manager. I also would like them to have signed by now, but if a temporarily imbalanced team is the price we have to pay to get the right players in, then so be it. We only need to wait 2 weeks max. Just remember, a bad signing now, and we're potentially stuck with them for 1-4 years.

Reports of Millwall in for Sam Nombe of Exeter. Will we see a bid for Azza, made public?

Not Rovers but a PNE fan has had his ticket for Spurs voided and police called in after he posted that PNE has accepted a bid for Ben Whiteman; PP1881 posted this morning that we received/accepted an offer for Ben Whiteman from Watford (I can't remember what specifically but it was something like that). PP1881 has been right on a few things within the recent past so people trusted their might be some truth to it. The rumour spread until eventually PNE made a statement denying it. Then PP1881 received a WhatsApp message from Peter Ridsdale saying that his ticket for Tottenham has been voided and that they're consulting the legal team. There might be more he said but I haven't read all the screenshots. Also I'm not sure if Ridsdale worked out who PP1881 was or if some part of the interaction involved letting Ridsdale know. Either way he threatened to void the ticket. PP1881 shared the events here. The LEP then asked PNE, who denied it happened. PP1881 then shared the screenshots of the conversation with the mod team here who then suggested he send it to Tom Sandells at the LEP. Neither the mod team nor Sandells have expressed any doubts about the credibility of the screenshots and even after they got shared around twitter, it has been generally accepted that it's Ridsdale's number in the screenshots. PNE have then gone on to release a statement saying they've contacted the police over this. Meanwhile other fans are sharing screenshots and things where Ridsdale seems to freely texting private information about people, raising GDPR concerns among the fanbase. This is roughly what happened allegedly. Happy to be corrected on everything I've said by more knowledgeable folks but this is roughly what I've understood is happening (so much has happened today, I've probably missed something) www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/club-statement-whats-app-message.3437545/page-9

Wael even liked Ellery Balcombe's goodbye post to Crawley so be very surprised if we haven't signed him on loan.

Definitely more excited by the possibility of this signing than the keeper and dont think age is necessarily needed. Just someone to do the Conor role.

His wiki says he is "calm and focused in defense" which is something we are severely lacking

If they both start we'll have even less experience. Time will tell, but strikes me of the time we lost Ronnie Mauge and signed jordan stewart and Robert wolleaston, that never ended up well.

Time will tell, but strikes me of the time we lost Ronnie Mauge and signed jordan stewart and Robert wolleaston, that never ended up well. Those lads were only 17 at the time (2 years younger than Quansah) and not nearly as highly-rated. He has been pinpointed as a high potential player from a young age and captained Liverpool at U18 level and also playing for England at every age group from U16 to U19, winning the U19 Euros and being named in the Team of the Tournament.
