[Archived] Transfers Part 3

[G Somerset Rover]

Only negative is he's been injured for some time - quite a big injury by all accounts. I know you have to take the odd risk but let's hope we've done our homework if it is permanent.

Would be happy taking a punt on this lad on a permanent, never sure about loaning young lads they come to us to play but often aren't ready just yet to play frequently

We need to restock the fridge I'm always up for potential.

We do like signing these types so a loan with a view to buy would be best all around it's about time some lessons were finally learned.

Cheston are you reading this ?

Rumours it's a permanent deal as Chapman only has a year left on contract 

As it says in my link from the Gazette above.  /|\

[Bigdoggsteel]

Where did ye see permanent? Reports on twitter are that it is a loan 

[RV Blue]

Would be nice to get this lad permanently.

Has Sam Gallagher gone out on loan this time? 

Wolves and Birmingham leading the chase apparently

He did seem to like it at rovers though. Could be an influence?

I would imagine Southampton and his agent are encouraging him to stay in the Championship. 

[tomphil]

I think Nixon said Rovers paid something like 6k pwk for Gallagher last season and after his reasonable success at Champ level I bet Southampton are wanting a good bit more this time around.

Does Mowbray's contacts book extend beyond his old club Middlesbrough ?

Said the same yesterday after the goalie signed though the kid is 19/20. It's worrying though when such emphasis on recruitment has been placed which chaddy has alluded to himself concerning it being proper recruitment.

He's ok never going to make it in the premier league or top level championship

Some of your comments....

He scored 12-15 odd goals at a relegated Blackburn, with no creativity and an awful midfield. And yet he can't make it at the top level of the championship. Surely you are going for the wind up.

So players from Middlesbrough should now be added to "players with agents" on the list of who we shouldn't sign?

He's a mid table pushing play offs. He's not particularly pacey, struggles to stay composed and suffers from John stead itus he shrinks as he jumps for a header. 

Good for us but we are on a par with your wig and and ipswichs not your wolves, Sunderland types. 

Whod he play ahead of in the premier league? Or Villa in this league etc?

He also signed a new 4 year deal this summer which you would assume gave him higher wages that would be passed on to the loaning club. No doubt Southampton will sign some foreign player who will keep him out of their first team and he will spend the next few years on loan before moving on.

You too, along with some others,  are complaining that we are signing players from Middlesborough or players that Mowbray has managed previously

Which is peculiar but who mentioned about not signing them because of that? I don't think I did though I do think it's rather limited/strange/unimaginative.

Dont see what your problem is with Mowbray's recruitment and the players recruit by him? Can you explain in more detail what your issues are?

8 permanent signings made so far.

Give it a rest Jim. 

Or Mowbray with alot of contacts within the game.

A bit unfair. In my opinion he has Premiership potential. He is very fast, especially on longer distance. Last season he outran defenders with the ball. With his attributes he might even be better suited to the Premiership than championship, could see him grab 10+ goals for one of the promoted teams like Brighton. 

I agree that his composure needs to improve, and probably lacks the innate cleverness infront of goal like Glen Murray and Rhodes. However those two lack the physical attributes to compete in the Premiership unlike Gallagher.

A manager signing players he knows and has worked with before is limited/strange/unimaginative?

OK. I don't see many utd fans saying that about them signing Matic. 

Strange... How do you make out that it is Strange? 

[Torgeir]

I think Murray would have scored more in the PL if he had avoided the serious knee injury towards the end of Palace's promotion season. As for Rhodes, I totally agree. Gallagher reminds me a little of Franco Di Santo, he's got all the raw attributes, but lacks the composure and decision making to make a consistent top level performer. Good enough for a promotion chasing Championship team? Without a doubt.

Arsenal striker Stephy Mavididi on loan??

Been linked with him. Some championship teams have aswell..

The Independent, plus some press down in London, are reporting that he's coming to Preston. Don't know much about him to be honest.
