Kamil Conteh

Quoted from supertown

Are you seriously thinking he is Alan Buckley 😂😂

Ah but I come from a different planet - it's strange.

Quoted from mimma

We turned down £350,000 from Middlesborough for Drinkall, his contract was up so the fee was set by a tribunral. We got £105,000 fron Norwich for him. We were robbed blind!! He ended up at Rangers for (I think) £750,000.

If my memory serves me well - which is dodgy these days - I think we turned down  £150k/£200k  from Man City not Middlesborough. The tribunal accepted circa £100k - pretty much what Norwich had offered.
Whatever I remember were robbed.

Does anyone actually know what Kamil's release clause actually is?

According to google, this will be break Bristol Rovers' previous highest spend which was £370k paid for Andy Tillson in 1992 and be a "Club Record Deal"

As for the Kevin Drinkell sale, I believe Town not long after, paid 110K for his replacement. An extremely average - at best - striker from Watford, Jimmy Gilligan.

Average is been very kind indeed he was awful I believe we signed after he scored for Watford against us in the FA cup I remember the goal it was at the Osmond end . Dave Felgate who I lived next to and frequented the Flamingo nightclub with who as at Town at the time said his nickname was Gillian amongst the other players

Certainly not a good move by Town whichever way you look at it. I did say “average at best,” but Drinkell was quality. So Gilligan for Drinks at a cost of 5K to the Mariners was daylight robbery. However, after leaving BP and fetching up in Wales in the late 80s/early 90s, young Gillian did progress somewhat notching 58 goals in 161 games in stints at Cardiff City and Swansea. I see he’s now the Head of Technical Development at Watford so he clearly managed to carve himself out a career in the game.

Bristol Rovers lost again tonight , a lot of their fans seem to think they might be in a relegation dogfight - maybe it's not such a bright move after all for Conteh .

Slim pickings for the kid, seeing as he’s in a relegation scrap already here!

Quite a lot of their fans are very skeptical in regards this deal and any deal for players  seems like their owner has  history since taking over of pulling out of paying a fee for players at the last minute .

Gaschat is up there with this it seems as a forum a bit of a laugh ,but they are worried really worried they could drop back down to league 2 ; 4 points above the dropline and in freefall with a manager it seems a lot don't fancy since Bartons removal (which seems to have split their fanbase somewhat aswell ).

If the rumours are true, there’s more than Rovers interested in Kam.

They're 8 points above the relegation zone with two of the teams in the bottom four having virtually no chance of catching them. Even Cheltenham are 11 points behind them but averaging less than a goal a game so would be a big ask for them to make up 11 points. They'll be fine.
