Isaac Buckley-Ricketts would be another Man City academy player who would do well at Rovers. Very vast right winger.

We'll need to get him on a diet right away then.

You say it probably does, but you have no idea really. 

Just because Harper and Byrne didn't work out doesn't mean we have to be suspicious of every player we loan from the premiership. It's silly. 

I didn't define reasonable criticism as moaning, I defined moaning as moaning. Show me the reasonable criticism? I saw posters running a young lad into the ground having never seen him play, based on a screenshot of some stats website. 

Moaning about people moaning - oh the irony.

In an earlier post you doubted Tomlinson, are you a moaner now.

Kent is a fast winger but he fell out of favour at Bristol City due to poor performances and again another loan. The source of this rumour suggests that its made up anyway.

He,s a defensive midfield player yet his tackling and aerial ability is rated as " weak". How does that work ?

Davenport impressed when at burton in the later stages of last season. I wonder when our young lads will get a go though, Tomlinson and Travis must be rolling their eyes. Can he do anything they can't as defensive mid? 

He is a free kick specialist but we arguably have one of them already. I'm always willing to give young lads a chance though but you have to imagine Mowbray doesn't have much confidence in travis or Tomlinson. Shame really. 

Is that the Burton that spent most of last season around the bottom end of the league ?

Correct me if I am wrong. But those stats come with appearances.

It would appear that it reflects where he has been played during the games he has played.

I have seen him play. Unlike you basing your opinion on a screenshot from a random website. Silly. 

 

[Tormund]

Permanent deal, get in! Good luck Jacob.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Great stuff. We have serious competition for places in the middle now.

But you have doubts about Tomlinson making it having seen him how many times? Silly.

[TruRover]

Relived to see this is a permanent deal. Imo a loan would of been a waste of time. As many stated last season we lack a ball playing midfielder, whittingham was brought in to be that man but he was a big dissapointment. This lad seems to be that kind of player so hopefully he has more success.

Has championship experience and got good reviews in a poor Burton Albion side so looks to be a decent signing. 

[JHRover]

Reassured by the permanent nature of the deal. Firstly because it is more of a committment from Rovers and so we have to be more sure than were it a loan and secondly because if he does well he will be an asset to the club.

[AdamRochina]

Thought it would be a loan ..Jesus that's pretty good it's permanent..still have my reservations though with him .. but good luck Jacob

Yes, I have doubts about him after watching him play. You have doubts about Davenport having never seen him play, but because someone put a screenshot up from some stats website. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Your nastiness really comes to the fore sometimes and debating anything with you is difficult if you don't agree.

 

[Tormund]

Bloody squabbling already. Yawn

"I like cutting up the play, getting the ball back for the team and starting the attack, keeping the ball.

"It's not just the defensive side, you have to be good on the ball to keep the ball."

"I'm a hardworking player, good technically. I've played defence a few times but my main position is the holding midfield role.

"I don't mind slotting in at left-back or left centre-back - wherever the manager puts me really.

I said I havent seen him, hence why I will reserve judgement until I watch him in a few games. As opposed to basing my opinion on a stats website. 

Everything I have read about him has been positive though. Apart from some on here who have never seen him play. Strange that. 

[roversfan99]

Alot of my initial reservations are seemingly due to the inaccuracy of the rumour.

A much more understandable signing long term, although raises questions about signing Rothwell too.

Wingers and a striker please.

Show me where I was nasty? Don't be sore because you're silliness was called out and you can't defend it.
