[Archived] Summer Transfer/discussion Thread

[Stevo]

If we do sign Graham I will be pleasantly surprised and it would actually give me the smallest slither of hope for the rest of the summer's transfer activity.

[Stuart]

Looks like Graham has decided to join us. Credible sources say he's passed a medical today. Him signing means we'll have a chance of staying up next season.

Who are your sources? Why haven't they announced it today?

Given the silence from Nixon perhaps it is true!

Be funny if it does happen. There's been a lot of bluster today from the 'it'll never happen' brigade....they'll prob all start moaning that he's on too much money!! 😂😂

[chaddyrovers]

He's already made a verbal agreement with Celtic chadderton. Now unless between now and 30/06/16 rovers come in with wages exceeding those offered by Celtic and rovers suddenly qualify for the champions league then he won't be coming here, why would he pal, he would be stupid too.

has he? looking like Celtic have passed on him. wonder if the Celtic board are unhappy paying those wages to a 31 years old striker

also Celtic have 2 qualify rounds first before the even reach the group stages of the Champions league, they haven't made the group stages for the past 2 seasons

Not according to the local Glasgow newspaper he hasn't

Nixon has said that he hasn't had a medical.Before I get jumped on not saying I believe him but that's what he said.

Still see Graham ending up in Scotland.Yeah he will have to reduce his wage demands but he was on 30+ at Sunderland can't see him accepting anything less than 20k which sadly I don't think we will be paying

[dallydally]

The waiting for confirmation (or denial) is agonising. I think a lot hinges on this psychologically as much as anything. Apart from fans it would also give the squad a boost. Let's hope its not a false dawn; guess the important thing is not to count your chickens before they are hatched (as the Venkys would say)

Where has he said this? Twitter?

Has it happened yet chaddy?Not saying I wouldn't be delighted with Graham signing and I would be happy if you are right,just don't see us offering him good enough money.

Find it funny that you quote Nixon on everything but haven't seen you quoting him saying that Graham hasn't had a medical

[Dunnfc]

If he's signed, fair play Coyley.

[islander200]

Where has he said this? Twitter?

Yeah someone asked him if Graham had had a medical,he said no.Plus he has been saying for ages that his wages are high

[davulsukur]

Coyley.

Don't, just don't.

I haven't seen the tweet so calm down calm down

Sickening.

Please, just don't.

Lol, beat me to it Davulsukur

Saying he hasn't had a medical doesn't mean a move is not on. Hopefully it was a straight answer to a straight question. If he has agreed to join Rovers - with personal terms agreed - the medical will be the last phase. Something about straws and clutching on my part?

[Dunnfc]

Please, just don't.

Lol, beat me to it Davulsukur

Sickening.

Credit where its due, if he pulls of Graham then he has done well despite being an abject failure somehow he will have convinced a top championship player to sign surely you can see that.

You have changed your mind on Graham?When Lambert signed him last season you said it was a poor signing?

[Amo]

There were a few on here with a strange anti-Lambert agenda from the off. Dunnfc wanted shot of him after a few games... and the less said about Rev's views the better.

[Stuart]

So Graham has had a medical but also hasn't had a medical?

It does seem quite odd that he would have one so soon after the season has finished. Are Rovers training sessions not a good enough indicator, following the medical he would have had to join?

I'd be delighted if Graham joined but it would take most if not all of next season's budget to do so. Unless we are selling our three remaining decent players to fund it.

I think we need to see what our squad looks like by the time we start the season before anyone starts crowing.

[Dunnfc]

He did well, maybe it was the step down to the championship or the system we played but i caught a few games at the tail end and he led the line well. I maybe incorrect but think i may have said i'd like to be proved wrong at somepoint, either way eating a slither of humble pie and hope he continues in blue and white alongside a pacy front man as hes worth 15 goals a season at this level.

[Gav]

You have to ask the question, why's Coyle buying a Lambert player? If he signs which I doubt.

I'd have thought Coyle would have his own targets and his own ideas?

Is this a signing to win the fans over?

He's a decent player but he's never going to break any pots, poor goal scoring record also.

Decent is where we are shopping mate. In fact we are in the bargain bin and hes just been put there.

He improved as the games went by which suggests a confidence player.

Be a great signing.

Just never call him Coyley.

(And I don't mean Danny Graham)
