[Archived] Transfer Talk

[DE.]

Same difference really. He's been on a PL salary the majority of his career (and probably even now).

"@OneRovers: Rovers are delighted to announce that promising keeper David Raya has signed a new long-term contract with the club. http://t.co/NmOVMdvTaA"

Wasn't this the player suggested to be on his way? Athlete? Mm?

[Bucksrover]

Would imagine as well as Robbo leaving we will be trying to move Jake Kean on.

This really is excellent news. This lad has the potential to be an outstanding goalkeeper and hopefully will be the Rovers number one for many years to come.

[Tom]

Great news when good news is few and far between

Hope he celebrates with another clean sheet on Saturday

[LewisF]

I'd like to see Bowyer throw in Sully and Mahoney on Saturday. Maybe Nyambe too, as he really impressed me when I watched him against Southampton U21's

[AJW]

Good news , but i'd still like to see him loaned out again perhaps for the 2nd part of next season at least, possibly to a league 2 or lower league1, 6 months in and around the first team squad followed by 6 months in league football hopefully will bring him on even further

[thenodrog]

Lets hope Raya is Rudy's homosexual lover eh? The one that he can't bear to be parted from.

[The Rover of Finland]

Great news. Quite surprsing news also.

very good news. I see Raya challenging for the number 1 jersey next season with Steele.

Jake Kean will leave Rovers during I would imagine. Robinson is out of contract this summer. Also can see Eastwood being loan out for some of the season

Wilkinson on a free anyone?

Would like Wilkinson at Rovers. can play Right back and Centre back aswell

we will need to get lucky to bring a good striker in due to the venkys incompetence.

Get it done and over next week for me.

I'm sure Bowyer and his scouts are scouting players to replace Gestede if he does leave.

PL teams wont be looking to sign anyone until July anyway but understand your comments on that and the reasons why Abbey

Glenn Whelan would be a no brainer if he could be enticed....sadly there's zero chance of that.

Would be the type of player we need, holding midfielder but cant see him coming tbh

[blueboy3333]

I would look to keep Raya, Lenihan, Nyamba, Lavelle, Mansell, Mahoney and maybe Green

Think you will find that one of those names gets snapped up by a PL club pretty soon.

Said on here earlier in the week, expect the story to break in the papers before the week's out.

...still waiting. 1 down, 6 to go.

Great news on Raya wouldn't you say Mercerman? It's heartening to see our 'clown' of a manager is still able to get talented youngsters to sign 3 year contracts.

[LewisF]

I'm certainly pleased for him. Really impressed when I watched him, hope he gets a fair bit of game time next season

[Tom]

Jay Emmanual Thomas would be worth a look, hit and miss but has some pace and scores goals.

Think he's out of contract as well

This is the issue with the rather precarious situation we are in as a club. A great deal of the fans have no idea what the embargo means and how deep the doo-doo is that we are in financially. They just sit in the stands clapping away, chanting "Gary Bowyer's blue and white army" completely oblivious to the severity of our situation and how desperately we need to return to the PL.

and the new manager also won't be able to spend any money so i'm sure all the good ones will be queueing up to join us.

it's great that you're here to educate us though. i thought we were going to break out transfer record this summer

Sometimes it takes an intelligent chap to educate those who are seemingly oblivious. I'm glad you're glad I'm here.

You're right, we can't spend any money. Hence why it's paramount we have a manager who can get the best out of this team with the resources available. Something Bowyer is certainly not doing.

Sure I heard or read somehwere Jem Karacan is a Rovers fan, decent player too before his injury problems.

Think you might be right, must have admired Tugay? - http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/4862851.display/

Marshall Cairney Guthrie Karacan Conway

Good ball playing midfield that!

[thenodrog]

Rhodes - Must Keep

Either we extend his contract (which we simply cannot afford) or if we don't we must cash in our chips on JR soon because he'll end up worthless to us and might even seek to stay injury free rather than score goals in his final season.

[LewisF]

Either we extend his contract (which we simply cannot afford)

It's already extended to 2019 as of last year

[Ricky]

It's not his final season is it? I'm sure we signed him up to an even longer contract last summer.
