What makes you think this?

Heard today Opacic won't be at Rovers next year. That might push them into offering SKD/Wood an extra year anyway.

No foul play on Opacic's part. Just heading back home.

The SKD deal would be ridiculous. Wrong position and wrong ages. The only funny thing about the deal would SKD would’ve instigated which would annoy a few rovers fans that their captain wants to come to FC

I can’t see it happening and would be fuming if it did.

100k for young British forward I’d be fine with as it’s a long term sustainable deal

Nothing concrete, just from a few places who are normally "in the know"

Indeed.

Although I wonder if some Rovers fans might not then take Tony Smith’s statement at face value and go so far as to not accept it unquestioningly.

Would be an odd one… but you never know. Wouldn’t blame him in the least, especially if it is for 2 years.

Who was the poster who had a pretty good itk record but was absolutely adamant Galea wouldn’t be crossing the river? Where do the decades go? RLfans nostalgia, that’s… I dunno… a thing for me now, apparently.

If Rovers only offer him a one year deal but FC are daft enough to offer him two years then good luck to him, of course he'd 'want'to join you, and some might find it annoying your right, but I bet a lot more would find it funny that you'd offer two years at his age.

Personally I think he'll retire ago back home, but that's just my opinion

Might be why they are supposed to be keen on Gildart?

Fair enough, and nothing personal, but they have fed you a few curve balls previously haven’t they?

You see him week in week out BF. In all honesty is he worth a 1 year deal?

How dare you to be fair it's more right than wrong, in say 80/20. suppose nothing is concrete until the club announce it. As good as SKD has been for Rovers, hope it doesn't happen
