Need a signing if not for the ST numbers, there's a bit of malaise around the place after yesterday. People still going off on social media. It would have been better if they could have delayed the Gibbons news until July 1st, the very quiet transfer window otherwise leaves a vaccum.

Everyone needs to calm down a little, deals are being done - players will go, players will come.
It's not like we only have 5 registered players.
5 weeks until we kick a ball in anger, plenty of time.
Losing Gibbo doesn't mean the wheels have fallen off, even if he has joined another team in our league.
Let's be positive, I for one trust the club to do what's right for the club.
UTV.

We’re not going to be left short and we won’t have been surprised by this. People just need to be patient and wait to see the whole picture, not the inevitable gloomy precursor where gaps are left. We’ll start with a squad that fully covers every position and hopefully has more chance of being available all season.

I tell you what I find encouraging, even though we have all gone into meltdown, the vast majority of posts since last night have shown faith/trust in the club knowing what they are doing - imagine that 3 years ago; brilliant , absolutely brilliant 

Now come on auntie Carol, give us an afternoon signing please 😍😍😍

Re Benning, do you think anything can be read in to the fact that we had announced the two existing sign-ups, then the Gibbo news dropped?

I think a lot of time is put into thinking about when to make announcements

For me both loan lads did us proud and bought into the club and team, and for that I will always look out for them. Both lads a credit and hope all goes well for them.

Spot-on. I think you encompass quite a few peoples' thoughts--certainly mine, on this point.

Personally I don’t buy the “money talks” line on the Gibbo decision.
If he is as amazing as we all think and his injuries have in fact cleared up then he would be off to the championship.
There were multiple rumours of him going to the championship in Jan last year and then he broke down at Leyton Orient.
I don’t think this is a case of us offering him a big deal and Bristol blowing it out of the water.
This is a story of us offering him something based on our view of his injuries (27 starts in 2 seasons) and Rovers willing to take a gamble.
I actually feel a bit sorry for Gibbo and wish him well… from Championship prospect I feel that Bristol are the only club that have been willing to take the risk. Let’s face it, the big boys in our league could blow them out of the water with a bid but they haven’t.
He is having to either drive 2 and a half hours each way to train or move away from the local area where he and his Mrs are super connected and tied in… he’s engaged to Conlons twin(?) sister.
Is she going to move to Bristol with him to reduce the commute? Who knows. If not he’s going to move down there on his own or face the commute.
This situation reads more to me like Gibbo is lucky that a team in league 1 were willing to offer him something that’s not dependent on appearances and that’s the best offer he could get.
We know Barton is willing to take those gambles… Their other signing (Rossiter) is described by Fleetwood fans as 2 things … 1) too good for league one and 2) made of glass 
He managed only 10 games last year.
I love Gibbo… I genuinely wish him well and hope his injuries are behind him.
Have Bristol mugged us off by blasting our bid out of the water. No. Are they willing to take a risk that we weren’t. Yes.
 
 
Spot on..... TTP

Looks like Manny is going through the wars again too… another one who I genuinely hope gets through his injury challenges.

Real shame about Manny.

A quality player hampered with injuries.

However, it's strange there's a theory going around that he's overcome his issues since we sold him (for a fee).

From stats available it looks like he played less minutes than Proctor and similar minutes to Conlon & Dan Jones last season.
