transfers

Prefer the EFL version, would give us a little more leeway looking for a replacement, but I think the Bristol Live version is more realistic

 

I think £1m is cheap considering age and the fact he was won player of the season last year by the EFL. Player of the season's normally are expensive. Why should other clubs get a lot of money for their players but we give the best player in the league last season away so cheaply? If he was a Peterborough player, they would have got £5m for him. Im not saying he's worth that but in today's market, to buy the best player in the league would cost a pretty penny.

 

I think his value depends on who's buying.

If he goes to the Championship then he's defo worth a seven figure sum. Premier League, eight figure sum. But in my opinion he's not quite full Championship standard in his current form, that's why he's not attracting interest from higher up the pyramid. He clearly wants away so we have to listen to offers from whoever's interested and at the moment it seems to be League One Bolton.

Look at JCH for example - top League One scorer for a couple of seasons but we could've got him for £800k back in the summer - if a Championship team had come in for him Posh would've asked for a lot more than that.

 

According to Bristol Live Charlton Athletic had a bid for Collins turned down last week

 

Gibbons is going on loan to Cambridge for the rest of the season, so that's the last we'll see of him as his contract runs out in the summer.

According to Bristol Live, Gordon could also possibly leave this transfer window.

That's lots of outs / potential outs and only one in - let's hope we get a few deals in the next couple of days or a couple of injuries will see us with a stretched squad.

 

I am sure I read somewhere that 17 of our players are out of contract this Summer

 

I think it’s 10 of them.

 

Yes saw that after I posted the above message

 

It's now official

 

Hear what the Bolton manager has to say about Collins.... https://x.com/BBCRMsport/status/1752330827923607681?s=20

 

Unless Rovers have a replacement lined up and ready to sign we should tell them to come back at the end of the season for Collins, with the window closing at 11pm tonight it doesn't give us much time for the signing of new players. About 5 out and 1 in makes our squad look very thin and not capable of a last minute push for the playoff's or has that aim gone out of the window

 

I agree with your point but the window closes tomorrow night at 11pm. We have another 24hrs of impending disappointment to deal with!

 

Thanks for that Bluebaldee but I was under the impression that it closed on the last day of January

 

Bolton have made an improved offer of around £750,000.00 For Collins, if this is refused they will not increase their offer

 

We should accept that and get another attacking player in asap!

 

It's official - Aaron Collins has gone to Bolton on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.

Aaron Collins Departs Rovers - News - Bristol Rovers

He's been a good servant to the club and I wish him all the best for the future.

 

We’ve signed Elkan Baggott, 21 year-old centre back, from Ipswich on loan for the rest of the season. Indonesian international!

 

Exeter have signed Ryan Woods from Hull till the end of the season

Tom Nichols has joined Mansfield Town linking up with Ollie Clarke and Alfie Kilgour

2 in 5 out with our injury record this season we could well be struggling for the rest of the season

 

Apparently add on include promotion bonus and sell on fee.

"Understand that Bristol Rovers attempted to sign Niall Ennis from Blackburn Rovers but he has opted for a different club."
