RibbleValleyRover Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Who would you replace DB with? Good question and a difficult one to answer. I'd look abroad probably, no specific names spring to mind. One thing is for certain I wouldn't go for Lennon.

nicko Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 Burnley got the all-clear for the Peruvian keeper Penny. Another 'dodgy foreign deal with no chance of a work permit' did someone say. Aye, aye... Is that four in a week - I've lost count.

If DB does go you've only got til the end of the transfer window or it's Bert on the right with Reid at full back.

Although regardless of Bentley leaving or not I still think we need a proper RB. Emerton is great and everything, but if he gets injured we are doomed.

If we sell Bentley for a large cash sum i am sure there will be players who can "cross a ball" available with the money we will get.
Hi Mack Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Burnley got the all-clear for the Peruvian keeper Penny. Another 'dodgy foreign deal with no chance of a work permit' did someone say. Aye, aye... Is that four in a week - I've lost count. No Nicko, thats 4 people we have never heard of in a week! Hear anything else on the "incident" at Brockhall i was talking about?
FourLaneBlue Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 When we first signed Bentley on a loan deal he did pretty much nothing. A few years later he is in the England national team. Whats all the rubbish about players "can not" improve?! Lennon has the potential to be great, and reading those "you can never learn a player new things" is just plain stupid in my opinion. Sure, a slow player can never be fast but other than that you can pretty much improve on everything in your game. Wow...I fully agree with you.
nicko Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 No Nicko, thats 4 people we have never heard of in a week! Hear anything else on the "incident" at Brockhall i was talking about? Still not had that one confirmed... I'll let the 'four you have never heard of' one go at the moment.
nicko Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 Man City signing Jo for £18 million. Good day for those who just sit in a boozer and dream up tales...
Hi Mack Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Still not had that one confirmed... I'll let the 'four you have never heard of' one go at the moment. Just thought id send a maggot out there!
Iceman Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Just on the lennon and bentley debate,i think that even when lennon was playing well,he was taken off or didnt start the next game.bentley on the other hand,has been an ever present,and his confidence levels just shot up.remember,if lennon sorts out his crossing,with the pace he has,he wil be so much a better player.he aint a bad player,much better than pennant though.
Iceman Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Just a quick thought.if lennon cant cross,then playing him in central midfield wouldnt be a bad idea.quick players,generaly play quick one touch football,and just putting in those little through balls.a quality right wing,with lennon and either reid/vogel or AN Other might not be bad
Neil Weaver Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Is that four in a week - I've lost count. At that rate, they'll have a whole new team soon. And they'd done so well last season.........
gumboots Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Other than in the minds of Spurs fans, some journalists and a lot of people on here has there been any indication that Lennon would actually be interested in a move to Rovers. What's the point of getting rid of Bentley only to bring in another player who doesn't really want to be here?
nicko Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 At that rate, they'll have a whole new team soon. And they'd done so well last season......... I think the new manager will have his own team shortly. Mind that gap.
PAFELL Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I think the new manager will have his own team shortly. Mind that gap. Yes but who is in the new team.
nicko Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 Yes but who is in the new team. Peruvian international keeper, Scotland under-21 midfielder, Northern Ireland striker, Norwegian left back who was wanted by Brann Bergen and Rangers. Better than some they had last season - by a mile. Duff keepers for a start. There are no better signings arriving at any Championship side. And more to come - plus a profit on sales. Not to mention finding the time to get a coaching badge or two...
SAS Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 doesnt lennon usually run to the by line and pass it across goal to an oncoming player, thus no need for brilliant crossing?
den Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 doesnt lennon usually run to the by line and pass it across goal to an oncoming player, thus no need for brilliant crossing? No.

I knew you had a soft spot for our 6 fingered friends but............its getting ridiculous? what next? Season ticket ffs!
SAS Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 No. My bad, must have been dreaming spurs scoring quite a few like that
Head Rover Heels Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 doesnt lennon usually run to the by line and pass it across goal to an oncoming player, thus no need for brilliant crossing?Depends. Which side is the oncoming player playing for?
den Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 My bad, must have been dreaming spurs scoring quite a few like that Wouldn't think he'd be up for sale [if indeed he is, which I don't think he IS] if he was that good. He would certainly be in the England side before Bentley as well.
nicko Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 We can easily fall out you know! I knew you had a soft spot for our 6 fingered friends but............its getting ridiculous? what next? Season ticket ffs! Seat beside the manager more like...
