[Archived] possible transfer targets summer 2013

[Baz]

Surely we need to start selling before we bring more players in? We must have 30+ professionals in the 1st team squad.

Surely we need to start selling before we bring more players in? We must have 30+ professionals in the 1st team squad.

I reckon Bowyer and Rovers will be telling the players who they want to sell or get rid off when the players are back for pre-season training on Thursday.

Players that I would get rid are:- Orr, Formica, Murphy, Gomes, Goodwillie, Bruno, Givet, Rosado, Henrique, Jorge, Edhino, Slew, Pedersen, Usai.

Martin Olsson and Givet to ask to leave aswell.

[Mani]

Who was it who said Huddersfield would splash some cash this summer? Was it Merc, if so he's got that right.

Just signed Martin Patterson from Burnley, to add to the signings of Hammil and Stead.

That would be me!! Offered O'grady 15k per week!!

The club can't win here...if we were losing players with no sign of buying there'd be people screaming from the roof tops!

I for one would prefer that we get all if not most of our business done for start of pre-season and then start looking to get rid..

Bar Formica and Goodwillie, plus Givet who should be kept, none of them will have interested suitors.

[Hekla]

Orr would find a club as would Pedersen I assume.

[roversfan99]

You'd think Pedersen would have gone last summer if there was any potential buyers.

[Gally]

You'd think Pedersen would have gone last summer if there was any potential buyers.

Didn't he come out pretty early saying that he wanted to stay?

[G Somerset Rover]

Can't blame him for not wanting to give up a £40k+ p/w deal! We'd likely have to give him a golden handshake if he did leave.

[chaddyrovers]

Bar Formica and Goodwillie, plus Givet who should be kept, none of them will have interested suitors.

Formica, Goodwillie and Givet have clubs interest in them.

Orr will find a championship club interest in him like Doncaster Rovers or Huddersfield town.

Henrique has a loan deal set up with a club from Portugal. source is yesterday LT.

Rosado will probably sign Sporting Lisbon.

Gomes and Bruno I would pay off.

this tweet from UEFA agent on twitter. hope this does happen. don't know if this account is proper agent or just rubbish but I thought I will post it on here. not saying its true btw

Stoke are looking at Danny Murphy #SCFC #rovers

Edinho and Jorge are young enough to find a club. both are 18 years old aren't they? so some clubs will be defo be interest in them.

A very long summer yet, still 69 days or so till transfer deadline day on Monday 2nd of September

I was under the impression Givet was out of contract this summer or was he given a extension no one knew about like Robinson??

I'd also try and shift Etuhu and Best tbh, how Ribero landed a three year 12.5k pw deal is astonishing

[davulsukur]

Come on Chaddy, you must surely know by now that anyone with a twitter name like Uefa Agent is going to be spouting Bullplop.

[roversfan99]

No point paying off Gomes, if no one will take him he can be an impact sub in a long season.

[donnermeat]

Don't think you can pay someone off without them agreeing to it also. Though I think Bruno would definitely agree to it.

[roversfan99]

You can, if you pay off the full amount they would receive in their contract I believe. Which would be stupid to be honest, especially people like Etuhu and Murphy, you may as well pay them monthly or whatever and keep them as back up rather than fork out millions in one installments.

I doubt Bruno would forego a pay off, he will never get a similar deal again.

[roverthepond]

Can't see Stoke being interested in Murphy, although I know that they aren't happy with Brek Shea who's a guy with potential and speed as a winger. Struggled in the premiership, but could be very effective in the championship. Maybe some kind of swap? Murphy was solid for Fulham so Stoke might take a chance.

[neophox]

Paul Robinson, Josh Morris and Gael Givet's contract expires on 30th june

so may leave

Loanies Sandomierski, Bentley, Stewart, DJ Campbell, Kazim and Jones has left the club.

Henrique to leave on season loan.

Thats 10 players to leave.

I can also see Formica, Gomes, Ribeiro, Rosado, Jorge, Martin Olsson, Marcus Olsson, Pedersen, Goodwillie, Murphy and Orr leave the

club this summer.

That would be more than 20 players in total leaving club.

In so far:

Goalie from Pompey

Taylor

Kane on loan

Judge

[chaddyrovers]

Paul Robinson, Josh Morris and Gael Givet's contract expires on 30th june

Bowyer said last season that Givet still has a year left on contract

Paul Robinson signed a new contract last summer but wasnt announced publicly. He said on Sky Sports news 2 weeks ago that he still has 2 years left on contract

Morris has signed a new contract.

Looks like our head is firmly stuck in the bargain bin. Could turn out to be a good thing in the long-run if the finances are as bad as reports would have us believe. Rather that than Venky's blowing another load on a vain promotion bid.

as it was for the best part of 10 years prior to the Venkys, as long as we find more good'ns than bad, its fine with me.

[CapeTownRover]

Yeh agree, bargains bin is fine, but as long as we don't get too many Edinhos etc. We have been down this route before, and picked up some gems like Samba, Benni, RSC etc for virtually nothing in terms of fees. Then again, the man who signed them was pretty good.

Havent seen any improvement whatsoever on last season so far, through this summers transfer activity.

Personally I think people put too much emphasis on the transfer fee paid. Pre Bosman Judge would have cost between 1 - 2m - would you have felt better if we had paid that ? The quality and type of player Bowyer has brought in so far is what is required in this league - as well as not adding too much to the wage bill (doubt there are any Murphy type wages amongst the new recruits)

[MrT]

How on gods green earth did Robbo manage to bag a two year extension? More to the point, how come no one knew??

Lots and lots of silly contracts dished out under this regime, it will be interesting to see if we can shift some of them and their bloated long term contracts

[mhead]

Happy with the moves so far. GB is building a core team around players with energy and skill. Players who will definitely play for the shirt. The hard job is getting rid of the 10 to 15 who are part of the Keano revolution plus Shebby's misfits.

I think we are in good shape in most positions. Now await moves OUT not in.

Seems to be part of the plan.

Move lots and lots of poor quality players and mangers in and out of the club overseen by an ever changing boardroom.

Centre of midfield is still way too poor and Scot Dann is a weakest link in the centre of defence.
