[Pedro]

Can people stop saying bunkum?!

I despise that word.

Danny Graham is a Rovers target

I don't rate him. Not good enough. Not quick enough.

As a replacement for Rhodes it says, no surprise more Alan Nixon chip paper

[SoldierMo]

Lol haha mr nixon....always hating on the Rovers

I wouldn't laugh too loud. Nixon is as close to the Lambert camp as you can get. It won't be hot air.

[AllRoverAsia]

If Danny Graham is coming another striker would be needed too - to score the goals.

[JBiz]

Danny graham works his arse off but doesn't score goals so to me this only makes sense if JR is staying + big sam has used him I think? He's certainly his kind of player.

[Tardyrover]

Rhodes out, 3 loans in. That's my prediction.. Same old Venkys!

[RoverGavin]

Gets more depressing by the minute.. However if we get him to play with Rhodes plus a couple more that could work... Slightly

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Well, Graham is a more realistic signing for a lower championship side. There was never any indication that venkys were going to invest.

A step up on Brown etc but appalling if Rhode's replacement.

[chaddyrovers]

The striker is Danny Graham from Sunderland.

The winger name is Anthony Pilkington from Cardiff.

Plus Boro want To sign Rhodes who has not fitted into Lambert's style and a 12 mil deal would give the Rovers boss cash to rebuild

All from today's Sun on Sunday

[Ribble Rover]

Pilkington makes sense. Used to work with PL and a local lad.

[JBiz]

What foot is pilkington? We desperately need a left footer!

[Iceman]

He is left footed I think.

[Speedie Dived]

Graham and a Gayle type would look decent.

Graham as a replacement for Rhodes would be a huge risk, even with my own reservations about Jordan.

[Damien]

Whatever the deals are... Whoever the targets are... Let's just get them done quickly and get them settled.

Let's not mess about all month and panic at the end.

He is left footed I think.

Pilkington is also a Blackburn lad.

Well Darwen, but could that help?

[arbitro]

What foot is pilkington? We desperately need a left footer!

He is genuinely two footed and is far better than we currently have.

[Swanson]

Graham should be an replacement for Koita/Brown/Delfouneso not Rhodes. Danny Graham might not be the best striker around, but at least he has some goals in his career to show for compared to the 3 strikers mentioned.

It wouldn't be Rovers, if we didn't get a couple panic buys in.

Again, I'm not too fussed about this season. We need to give Lambert enough time to clear the decks, have a pre season and start fresh. This season once again, shows how poor this squad is.

It amazes me that every season, we can't put together a team capable of challenging. Yet other teams who have so called lesser players, can build a squad worthy of challenging and even promotion.

It's not just about signing players, it's about getting in players with the right attitude, who can apply themselves.

We have players with the right attitude, but the application and effort is non existent.

[Mani]

Calm down re Rhodes lads. Why would you sell a striker like Rhodes and replace with Graham? It would make no sense at all.

Pilkington is a match made in heaven. Quality footballer, local lad, previous exp with Lambert, Irvine and Kelly I reckon

[imy9]

just watching the highlights of the Sunderland vs Villa game and Graham holds the ball up very well for the 3rd goal.

Graham may be the ideal person to play up alongside Rhodes.

He loves Lambert. read his comments in The Mirror yesterday where he was full of praise of the impact he has had on his career.

It's not always that straight forward sadly. Selling clubs usually like to get someone in first before they release players. That can cause the delay and the bottle neck on last day of window.

[Dave f]

Has Pilkington got any pace?

[ABBEY]

Can't see rovers mentioned in the scum oops sun link
