[Archived] Transfer Window - January 2016

[Neal]

Aiden Mcgeady anyone? (if he's move to Celtic doesn't happen). Just noticed that Wildschut has gone back to Boro as Wigan are waiting for him to come back... WE NEED TO GET IN THERE!

Another loan move that could be decent would be Daw Kins at Derby... Plenty of pace.

Andy Cryer on Twitter.

Can't blame Bennett if opts for Blackburn - at least they pay- wasn't great for us but at least he was a player. Seems like we've given up.

When Andy Cryer asked if Elliott is quick - he replied 'not that quick - workmanlike'.

Doesn't sound a signing that will tear up any trees. Taylor mark 2.

Wouldn't pay any attention to what Cryer has to say. Extreme sour grapes from his side towards Rovers and there always has been. We could sign Ronaldo and he'd put a negative slant on it. He'll be miffed if we're taking Bennett when its clear most Bristol supporters wanted him to stay there.

Perhaps Bennett is being signed as a full back.

Precisely how I read it as well. He seems like a bitter ex-girlfriend that can't let it go. It's just a bit sad.

Christ knows why, the coverage and stories he got in the height of KeanOut got him his nice BBC number at MediaCity.

Bloody hell, I'd have McGeady here in a heartbeat if it was at all possible.

He's an interesting one and Lambert will know all about him. A bit of a luxury player in many respects but very skilful and quick footed. Not sure I'd want him next to me in the trenches if the going got tough mind.

Bit of a long shot I suppose but it appears no one else has come in for him and if that remains the case then surely he would rather play football than not play football? Wages would be an issue.

[sharpysharps]

Cryer does come across as a bit of sour grapes and seems to have a poor attitude when it comes to Rovers these days. This morning his tweet suggested he was fairly gutted and frustrated that Bennett would likely not be signing for them.

Would be the type of signing that would demonstrate if Lambert has some pulling power.

Could be brilliant but then could be another Vukcevic!

Blows my mind that he got a job there. Very poor writer.

Oh yeah, I agree on all counts really.

In any event, he's a player with proven quality and god knows we need some of those!

_{Not at all worried if Bennett and Graham are Lambert's first signings.}

_{Saw a list of Lambert's first signings at Norwich when he first joined us as manager and they weren't names that would have had the Norwich fans jumping for joy. Those signings did deliver two consecutive promotions though.}

_{Noticed that a poster yesterday said I hadn't mentioned Rhodes this window. Well I did on Sunday and will stick by this:}

_{Posted by Mercerman on 03 January 2016 - 19:43 PM in Football Messageboard}

_{The Rhodes' conundrum !}

_{At the moment, IMV, he looks very much less than average. I don't think Lambert sees him as a player to build his team around - forget the rhetoric, think that's all about maximising Rhodes' value. Can't see M'boro doing any deal approaching £14m - maybe they see him as a £!0m insurance policy to underwrite auto promo. If they don't sign Rhodes now and they do go up, I'll be staggered if they come back for him as a PL club.}

_{No doubt some posters will think £10m is far too low and V's wouldn't accept that offer. Well if they don't, and Rovers and Rhodes don't improve, IMV, they will see nothing like £10m in summer if they want rid of Rhodes then. Don't forget, this is the last season of parachute payments and that's £8m or so off next season's income at a stroke.}

_{I think Rhodes will go this window for about £10m plus some extras if we are lucky. I expect half of that to be handed to Lambert with the other half helping to offset lost parachute payments.}

Elliot Bennett well well lol few in here said we could go for him...has played right back and centre midfield this season for Bristol also he's natural wide right position

Rovers just announced Lawrence is staying for another month. I thought id read it was agreed he was staying for the season unless I incorrectly presumed?

maybe he is looking to see how often he plays before commiting for the rest of the season he may have an eye on the euros so needs to be playing more.

[Blandy]

Is it something to do with the maximum loan period he can stay is 93 days which won't take us till the end of the season, announce a months loan now and then when it runs out at end of jan get him back on a 3 month loan period till the end of the season.....could be wrong!

You should be flattered Abbey has a thing for you. He mates for life.

As for ze signings, Graham could be a solid buy. He's scored goals at this level and would be a good foil for Rhodes.

Haven't seen much of Bennett, but he would bring some much-needed pace to the side.

[AdamRochina]

Bennett is a little slower then Olsson amarillo.. He's been playing right back for Bristol.. So could be him and Olsson at full backs which is pretty decent

Leicester probably seeing how they go with injuries etc.
