[Archived] Ins and outs

[nicko]

Derby County are trying to sign Frank Fielding on loan...might happen very shortly.

[Never started a topic before - but fed up hearing about on-off takeovers with mystery bidders].

Football should be about footballers and managers.

[Mike Graham]

This should be great experience for Frank Fielding, who incidently was going to get me a signed pair of Robbo's gloves. He is a good prospect for the future, and a Rovers fan as well, he better get me those gloves before he nips off to Pride Park

[J*B]

Out of interest who is rated higher - Bunn or Fielding - by people who have seen both play? It's been my understanding that Frank has been rated as a better keeper, and if that's the case couldn't we loan them bunn instead?

Fielding could be the better by a mile once he gets games - it's probably time he did that.

Bunn seems a decent reserve, probably not Prem standard...Fielding might be once he is fully tested.

agree. given plans a and b on the takeover assume that sam has plans a and b for targets. nicko any feel for who the top 3 targets on each may be. cheers.

[Amo]

Rumours linking Fiorentina and Sampdoria with John Carew. Could be worth a shot, if we have a few quid in January.

It's a bit early for that yet. But I would think a decision on the takeover will be sooner - and then plans for who to buy really kick in.

If Goulon does the business then it would take the pressure off a touch.

A midfielder and striker are the obvious vacancies just now - no matter what funds are available.

[Iceman]

Nicko any idea if Sam will go for Husseklepp, i know we were linked before? Seems to be a reasonable fee for him, and if no takeover happens could be within our budget

I am sure that when this was discussed back in August, there was at best only a lukewarm agreement from some of our Norwegian fans, whilst others amongst them seemed to think it would be a rubbish signing for us.

[Iceman]

Again Fife, they did also indicate that Anthony Annan would be a rubbish signing. If no takeover happens, can we afford to be fussy, when we are have nothing to spend? Its a different situation, if we had lots of money, then there would be a better player to look at perhaps. We are far too quick to dismiss a player, based on a few opinions on here. I guess im just one of those, who believe that you give players a chance, either having them on trial, or taking a risk.

Doesnt surprise me, Bywater is injured I understand!!

[Commondore]

Good news, a proper test in the Championship is exactly what Fielding needs. He has a decent chance of becoming their first choice as well, Bywater is hardly immovable.

think nicko has made a rod for his own back here

He was watched in the last window, but I don't think anything was done about it. Bound to be on the 'watch list' now - depending on how much cash is available.

[philipl]

Isn't the Norwegian season pretty well over now?

Got the impression this guy was not that good.

[Roberto Policano]

Carew's well down the list of those 2.

He's decent and a profile in our league, but would need some time to adapt I think. At 26 it's not really worth it IMO. Annan is a different case, he's a quality player - just a shame he's a dirty one as well

Surely the vacancy is an attacking midfielder though? Any idea what role the staff see for Goulon if he comes?

Perhaps we'll see a move towards my countries new and unique formation.

I think a 6-4-0 would suit the players we have.

im going to ireland v norway next month so will let you's know how good husseklepp is.he has a poor record for brann this season,scored 7 goals i think but i heard brann are awful,good recent form for norway though.

He started the season squandering a lot of chances, but also plays out wide quite a lot. Should have quite a few assists. Brann is not my team (far from it) so I don't watch him regularly, though I would say one away game against Ireland isn't enough to tell anyone whether he's any good

My boss just flown in from Brussels this morning. Sat with an Italian agent and French player ( goulon) joining up for talks today.

Very interesting.

Goulon came back on Sunday night.

So the French player today must be someone else...

[Sparky Marky]

Or Grez is making it up.

Just clarified - agent only
