[Archived] Transfer Talk Part 4

[SoldierMo]

Well just checked hum on youtube i know its only youtube but the lads deffo got some pace and skill

[Baz]

Cole would not come north for ten grand a week. Also, allegedly, he has an ankle issue which prevents him playing more than one match a week.

Thats ok, our lads only play every 3-4 weeks.

If he can't make it oop north, I can probably do as much as Brown for £5k a week?

[Neal]

Lawrence is a good player. Do have a strong suspicion that he's a replacement for Marsh.

To be fair if lawrence arrives on a loan with a view to signing and offloading marshall gets us out of the embargo - then it is great business.

Not sure I'd be comfortable with him replacing Marsh straight away. Would like to see how he shapes up first.

Marshall has quality, he's hamstrung by the manager playing him out of position, we shouldn't be selling our best players to get out of an embargo because the days of us paying decent transfers have gone, so in or out of embargo doesn't matter at this stage in my opinion.

I agree to some extent but without getting out of the embargo, there will be no more 'Marshalls' joining the club. We know Marshall has talent. He was reasonably rated when we bought him but injury prone. In patches he has looked superb but he doesn't consistently deliver.

The key here is replacing. If we sell and replace with another promising youngster, for a reasonable fee, then I am happy- it is what we have pretty much done throughout my time following Rovers (apart from 90-96.

Selling Marshall and replacing with a Brown or Macanuff and I would agree totally - we should not sell.

comment from GB in the LT lawrence article

The window is going to be closing soon and then we’ve got the international break, which would help us if we got somebody in as it would allow us to put them into the system we want to work on and play.

didnt think he had a system, unless its the play for a draw one.

[G Somerset Rover]

Lawrence played behind the front man at Rotherham so I'd imagine that's where GB fancies him. I'm all for it if this pushes Marsh out wide but you get the feeling that the reasoning behind it may be offload him in the hope of getting out of FFP.

[Rover_Shaun]

Hole? Modern game bullshit. Put the ball in their net. End of

[Iceman]

why sell our better players to get out of FFP, only to still not spend money when we are out of FFP? We aint going to splash more than a mill on a player if we are out of FFP, so i dont see the rush to push sales to get out of FFP

Not seen a lot of this player - but others seem to think a good move. What bugs me a little - is that Bowyer keeps moaning how young our squad/team is - and then brings in yet another young player.

[joey_big_nose]

How long is the loan?

Really feel we have enough attacking mids/wingers as it is. We don't have enough centre backs and if Guthrie gets injured I worry for central midfield...

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

How long is the loan?

January

[J*B]

Raya

Henley Duffy Kilgallon Olsson

Guthrie Akpan

Barrow Lawrence Conway

Rhodes

But will we play it..?

do loan players count in the 24 man squad as rules state ;

24 or fewer established players (players aged 21 or over that have made at least 5 starting appearances for the club).

so no loan players can cout as they wont have made 5 starting appearances for us or am i missunderstanding it.

That would make a nice change, may not go down well with the inmates though. Same time last year just a few weeks into the season he gave those not involved in internationals time off. How will they cope

Any new players are classed as established players so do count towards the 24 players.

[Iceman]

loan until January 3rd... i dont get these tyoe of loans, because if its not until the end of the season, then it just doesnt make sense to me

[chaddyrovers]

Maybe Leicester and Swansea want to make their players are playing. If they not then why send them on loan to us

A good news story on the face of it, but it's in the Heil so................

[A cup of beans]

Lawrence loan has excited me.

Been impressed when I've seen him playing for Utd 21's.

Seen him play on the left, in the hole (watch out Ben Marshall ) and up front.

He also stood out in the Yeovil against us at Ewood the other year.

Id say he was an improvement on what we have, but time will tell.

Meantime, I'll savour the excitement.
