Final Dpl standings

The fixture list looks a bit more exciting this season.

Alot of fuss re something we already knew

Alot of fuss re something we already knew

Just about sums up the corporate mentality of the media team there.

Looking through the list of L1 transfers already done shows relatively few moves thus far and lots where players who are out of contract gone for the club offering the best terms with length of contract being a desirable element at this level. In this respect Rovers do seem to be doing their best to provide more longevity than most which of course carries risk, but broadly speaking is surely the best way to go.

So there must be quite a large pool of players wondering whether to stick or opt for a move, but clearly decisions on both sides will be more marginal. In an ideal world DF would have hoped to have got it all buttoned up by now, so some targets may still be available and contemplating competing offers, but others (like the fled Dutchman) will have chosen alternative destinations.

I remember in SOD's days, transfers usually came through quite late. Clubs quite often need to sort their own acquisitions out before releasing players, so it may be that in some cases, that's what we're waiting for - and of course, the longer this takes, the greater the chance of other clubs muscling in on our targets. Still, I do think the club is trying. I think they believe in DF and are therefore prepared to invest (within reason).

Thanks for biting on the bait Hound I new I'd rely on you even for a p take 😜

The club will be looking but will be waiting for July 1st as will many clubs to see the official released players and then I expect some activity.

You are welcome azza.
My response was very tongue in cheek but I guess it is hard to tell that from the written word.
Anyway, roll on August 5th.
We need some football action to get the debates flowing again.

Need to sort something out, keep having to go to work on a Saturday 😀
