[Archived] Transfers Part 2

[The Rover of Finland]

Sam Gallagher is at Brockhall this morning for a medical.

So there is a chance he is registered early enough for Wigan. Rovers are so so slow. If there is someone coming after him it should be under process already as the deadline is only three weeks time.

We dont know really what Coyles remit is. He may have been told to "generate value"at all times,but with Academy youngsters/young loanees and oldsters freebie signings(in limited numbers mind)he certainly has his work cut out.

Mind you,it could be argued the same about Dyche at Burnley,and Coleman at Stanley.

[Iceman]

Excellent shout given he is nowhere near their first team and slipping further away. And a very speedy player.

Bet we couldn't afford - I mean venkys would refuse to sanction - his wages though.

Goes to show how futile our "efforts" were in bringing him in. Like he would choose some Champ strugglers over a top Eredivisie club. I said at the time, it was a transfer that was never going to happen, but was no doubt info leaked from the club to give the impression we are working to sign quality players. Funny how some people bought into it though.

[PeteJD13]

It does.

I'd put a fair few Indian Rupees on Rovers being presently hawked around Asia.

I do not think the Raos will sell the club domestically.

totally agree with this, hopefully to someone like Leicester's owners tbh they are more likely to sell us Ali Sayed mk2

[47er]

Seems like China is the likely place these days.

Gallagher confirmed

[Ribble Rover]

7 new signings? Is it?

[AggyBlue]

Why is he photographed signing in the canteen?

That must be a first

[Stuart]

7 new signings? Is it?

Graham

Stokes

Greer

Byrne

Hendrie

Feeney

Gallagher

And not a bean was spent.

Maybe all clubs should be run this way if such great players can be brought in so cheaply and sold for millions. No wonder Venkys don't want to sell.

[Mike E]

Will be 8 when Brown signs too.

[AJW]

7 new signings? Is it?

how many out ?

[tomphil]

7 new signings? Is it?

With the young ones being loans and several of the others on probably their last contracts of any note just who are we going to sell to pay the bills in 2 seasons time ?

[Mani]

Will be 8 when Brown signs too.

I know it's highly unlikely but IF Wes Brown can stay fit...he's far and away a better CB than Hanley!

[Ricky]

It's the IF that's the problem Mani. When did he last have a full season?

[JHRover]

7 signings.

3 of them loans in Gallagher, Hendrie and Byrne. All youngsters, unproven at this level.

1 of them is 35 and on a 12 month contract.

The other 3 are Danny Graham, Anthony Stokes and Liam Feeney who have signed longer contracts.

From the squad that finished last season we've lost:

Chris Brown

Chris Taylor

Simeon Jackson

Nathan Delfouneso

Lee Williamson

Tommy Spurr

Matt Kilgallon

Matt Grimes

Jordi Gomez

Grant Hanley

Off the top of my head. Whilst a number of those we've lost were garbage and glad to get rid of them, it still leaves a big gaping hole in our squad and a major lack of options that as yet hasn't been sorted out.

All with a net £7 million profit to boot.

Unless we get another 3-4 quality players in before September arrives then relegation will be when rather than if.

[Mike E]

I know it's highly unlikely but IF Wes Brown can stay fit...he's far and away a better CB than Hanley!

It's the IF that makes him a poorer one

Not to mention, Hanley had age on his side (as does Duffy).

So was Ryan Nelson but I don't see us trialling him. It's time for the pundits sofa for Wes.

[yoda]

That's Voldermorts office/bedroom

[Mani]

Not sure he ever has mate!

Not sure he is done mate. Did you watch him last season? Easily Sunderlands best CB (Albeit not an amazing achievement but still PL)

Age isn't a major issue when you're just trying to get through this season though

[Iceman]

Will be 8 when Brown signs too.

9 when Isgakadinho signs

[Iceman]

Only at Rovers do we duplicate an article on the website. So little to say, we have to say it twice

[Jimmy612]

Mate just sent me a pic of Pedersen at Rovers with a 5-minute warning from Twitter.

Are we re-signing him????

[Madon]

GET IN!!! PEDERSEN IS BACK!

Edit: Or not.... ar*eholes
