Player ratings

Simone Negri beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

The Fleetwood Town deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Tommaso Mola reports back to Doncaster Rovers with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

The dugout

Jack Carter keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Doncaster Rovers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Only the photograph left for Gnadou Gohi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Gnadou Gohi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Doncaster Rovers the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at Doncaster Rovers

Tommaso Mola and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Doncaster Rovers walk away from Rayan Aït-Nouri

$64.0K was the most the club would pay and Liverpool were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

A row about effort at Doncaster Rovers

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Michal Ševčík was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Dani Ángel

Doncaster Rovers asked and Peterborough United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Robert White steps up from the Doncaster Rovers academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Robert White has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
