[Rover_Shaun]

He will have alot of offers to consider but hopeful we have offered him good wages to stay. Cant see him getting better elsewhere tbf

A well know John McEnroe saying springs to mind

How would you know what wages we are offering? Or in fact what wages other clubs are offering? Rovers don't pay high wages in this league - at least not compared to the Sheff Weds, Brighton's etc and definitely not compared to Newcastle, Villa and Norwich. It wouldn't surprise me if Graham turned out for any of those 5 clubs.

As a side note your comment about Graham not wanting to move to Celtic was completely mental. Why wouldn't a 30 (31) year old footballer thats not won anything of note not want to be the lead striker in front of 60k fans playing in the Champions League and almost guaranteed a league title?

[gumboots]

Apologies if incorrect Gumboots but I seem to remember you having said before you're a teacher.

If indeed you are I'm surprised that you'd expect immature, self absorbed 19 year old lads to have any head space for anyone but themselves...

I was indeed a teacher and I expected my 11 year old to think about their parents and families and to be fair, most of them did. I suppose it's still part of their culture in a way it isn't in western culture. One of the worst punishments for kids who swore in class was to make them ring their mums and repeat what they'd said over the phone.

I could see Brighton or Wednesday but doubt very much those dropping down would touch him. If the offer was good enough then he'd have signed but it obviously isn't so probably forget about that one in my opinion.

The rumour that I have heard that the mystery loan player is Patrick Roberts from Manchester City. He was loaned out to Celtic last January on a 18 month deal but have heard that the break clause had been activated and player will sign later this week once he returns from holiday.

I hope that this is true as he is a highly rated young player.

[beanie]

I don't think we will see Hanley at Rovers when pre season training starts.

Also, keep an eye out for Arsenal's Toral.

Toral would be a good signing where would you say Hanley's off too.

Well that would be a decent signing..

[beanie]

With the emergency loan window closing what are the rules regarding the number of loans a season now.

[dallydally]

I think Hanley could well stay IF the incoming players are good enough i.e. in his view capable of really improving Rovers. He is a bit like Dunnie - blue and white down the middle - so let's see what materialises

[rovers11]

FWIW, Nicko has answered two separate posters on Twitter that Sean Murray is NOT the young AM.

Phew, we need better.

[A cup of beans]

With the emergency loan window closing what are the rules regarding the number of loans a season now.

Cracking young player. Hope that is true.

That's a good point.It is important what signal Venky's send to existing decent players.My guess is that the signals have hardly been ones of ambition...

[tomphil]

Newcastle are interested according to my Geordie pal.

Was the clause broken by Celtic or Man City ?

[The Rover of Finland]

Isn't Roberts a winger? Never seen him action but obviously he is a huge talent.

Pep must be SEM??

[Mercer]

Friend in London understands that Coyle has asked the question about Toral and he does get goals from midfield.

I would say Newcastle, Derby. Glasgow in that order. Newcastle have the coin, Pearson keen but not at Rovers' price whilst the Glasgow clubs are on the rails at this stage.

MEN has written about him as a winger.

Doesn't sound like our goal scoring midfielder.

[Athlete]

Haha so Boro are trying to move Rhodes on? I have to say I'm unsurprised. It's pretty difficult watching him in training everyday struggling to do the most simple drills, unable to make 5yrd passes...the lads whispering and laughing at him. Painful for managers. Karanka obv sees what many others do...a league 2 footballer with the finishing prowess of Jermain Defoe. I don't want him back.

Absolutely rubbish that you need to give your head a wobble

Your talking about a striker with 20 plus goals a season for the last 7 years

Anyhow were discussing transfers not a Boro striker

Anyone else heard anything more about wheater apparently us and Wigan are interested

If we're interested in Wheater that presumably means Hanley is on his way. No surprises there then.

[AJW]

could only see that happening if one of Hanley/Duffy leaves

Yeah, no probs pal....ill take the opinion of those who were there in training with him though thanks.

Wheater is awful. Absolutely awful

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Would be City. He looked quality at Celtic so there's no way they wouldn't want him back.
