Summer Transfer Rumours - Deadline Day p446

Callumcafc said:Edun was expected to leave Rovers in January after struggling for game time. However, a loan deal to Charlton Athletic fell down after Callum Brittain's injury, which kept him out until February.Cardiff City approached Rovers with a loan offer on deadline day, offering to cover Edun's salary in full, but the club turned it down with Tomasson taking the view that having a full squad was essential after a difficult window, although Edun didn't feature again.
Edun's lack of football means his stock is lower than this time a year ago. However, there remain interested parties. Charlton and Cardiff are keeping tabs while an unnamed club in Portugal are also watching the situation.
It's unclear whether Edun will leave Rovers permanently or on loan, though a clean break makes sense for both parties if the finances fit. Rovers paid £500,000 to sign the 25-year-old in August 2021 and his contract at Ewood Park runs until the summer of 2024, with the option of an additional 12 months.

I think others may go before Miles. Like others have said it’s all about how the funds are made available and used, or not, as may be.1

Left field suggestion Sam Smith from Cambridge?
of the three I’d wager Smith, The Writing’s on the Wall.
May at 29 is surely at his prime, looking for a key move in his career. He's hardly a player on the slide, thinking about one last payday0 -

As well asHarlee Dean and Jordan Graham Birmingham have released George Friend. Although now 35 he can be a left footed centre back or left back.0

Think he would do alright for us but I have said that about numerous forwards we signed in the past who got Charltonlised very quickly0 -
Jephcott would be a punt not worth taking. Not reproduced that one seasons form anywhere. Steer clear.10

reserves said:I haven’t read through these recent posts or any other threads so sorry if this is old info.Heard from someone inside the club that a potential signing is at the training ground today and if it comes off I think most would be very happy.Could be a good sign for the future ownership, certainly would make me feel more positive.I’m not gonna say who I’ve been told it is as wouldn’t want to jinx it. Serendipity if we annoiced him on the morning of the 29th.It’s a player from team that finished beneath us that many have mentioned would be a fantastic signing, I’d be shocked if we were the only one in for him.LargeAddick said:MarcusH26 said:Quality player from a side that finished below us- May or Stockton feels like the obvious ones?

Was it even a season? Thought it was a hot spell of about 20 games. Agree, one to avoid.0 - Sponsored links:

Hasn't he scored about five goals at the Valley the three times he's played against us in SE7? Wonder if there are other players with similar records...0

Jephcott isn't necessarily one to avoid, he isn't one to "fire us to promotion" either. Depends what formation we play and if Leaburn stays.
If we play 2 and he goes, we need 4 new strikers and Jephcott could potentially be one of those. If we play 1 and he stays we need someone to push Miles and let him drop out now and then and someone else, I don't see a place for Jephcott then. Or May for that matter.0 -
Jephcott wouldn't especially excite me. Had that one purple patch at Plymouth and it hasn't happened for him again since. Think I'd rather have Dan Kanu as 4th striker in that situation.2

I think the OP must be referring to this (which isn’t Storrie’s blog but a blog about Storrie quoting an old interview) https://chicagoaddick.com/2023/05/23/storries-promise/0

So much of this data is publicly available that there ought to be a fairly level playing field between comparable clubs, as all should be looking similar numbers surely?
The TV pundits have access to a lot of this data, so they can say that Player X makes the highest number of threatening passes or makes the most overlaps.
Yes all the data is publicly available (for a fee) but the clubs who pour serious resources into coming up with new in-house ways of combining the runs, the passses, the tackles & shots etc. can create more informative stats that no-one else has access to.
By going deeper to the second, third and fourth level of the data, they’re uncovering trends that the publicly available data won’t tell you.
I think it is unfair to blame all the shit on SG and credit others with the successful signings. SG is said to be the negotiator not the scout.I would suggest that this makes him the person who got him over the line for us and is an example of how good he is at his job.
I would be looking at who took over the decision making when they first changed his role.
I find that and the fact "Steve and Martin are always out scouting", despite being at almost all our games very hard to believe.
As I said before it probably isn't Gallen's fault but the mixed messages that come out the club do no one, especially Gallen, any favours.Watching something like ten matches online and five live sounds more realistic.0 -
