He is undoubtedly a rough diamond Andy but playing alongside the cultured Mulgrew and under a manager who was raw boned centre half himself should polish up nicely.

So we should have got 2 million from Boro this summer then as Rhodes only completed the permanent 10 million transfer to Wednesday in the summer Thought I read it at the time I'd be surprised if we didn't put one in for him.

Yeah but surely the clause only kicks in if they sell for a profit? I don't believe we will get anything from the Hanley deal,when sell on clauses are inserted it usually refers to a percentage of any profit made Newcastle will be making a 2 million loss on Hanley

I stand by my response though, Duffy and Hanley were nowhere near an excellent pairing and I still think Newcastle clocked quickly that he wasn't good enough. Like our signings though, who knows, given game time up there he may have come good. He certainly never lacked effort and is better than Ward, so based on that, I'd take him back. Good luck to the lad, it can't have been fun playing here.

Good luck to the lad, it can't have been fun playing here. Hanley went to Newcastle for good money and Brighton paid a tidy sum for Duffy too - both better clubs than Rovers at present who got promoted last season - so they must have been doing something right. I thought they were our best pair for years.
rovers11 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Danny Graham plays tonight. I felt it would have been a massive sign that he was on his way if he didn't start tonight as it seemed like a perfect opportunity to give him a run out. Looks like he's staying - wouldn't be surprised if he scored tonight.

Tormund Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 People will be feeling underwhelmed with Heneghan as he's not high profile but there were plenty of people feeling underwhelmed with the Smallwood signing, now he's had a good few games they have changed their tune. I've seen Heneghan play for Chester several times, obviously it's not a high standard but he did stand out and wasn't surprised to see him signed up by a bigger club. He would do well here.

From the Lambert story Only five teams have conceded fewer goals than Rovers (18) in the current Championship campaign and only four teams have kept more clean sheets.

To be fair, you've always looked past their mistakes and goals against column and championed Hanley and Duffy a number of times. If you like or rate them, that's absolutely fine. I am more a Samba/Nelsen man where the opposition was much better yet their class was unquestionable. To state that Duffy and Hanley was the best Rovers partnership 'in years' must've been an exremely small amount of years ? Anyway...transfers ?
