Summer Transfer Window 2019

[roversfan99]

The priority for me has to be LB. Id much rather have someone like Cunningham at LB with Tosin or Williams partnering Lenihan than Bell playing.

Cant see him asking for stupid wages considering hes been out of a job for over a month and the season has started.

Lynch clears the primary criteria of being free, British and over 30, so it might be a goer. Transfermarkt has left back down as another position he plays, which would also be a plus in Tony's book.

He was only in for talks, he might have asked for ridiculous wages and it’s a non starter.

those pining their hopes on a high money centre back Thursday are going to be sorely disappointed 

I think we already know that lol.

Was the most in form player for a spell last season

Doesn’t fill me with excitement, but bang average is better than completely useless. 

Plus points: he's free - so meets the defence budget. 

He probably hasn't done a full pre- season so TM won't need to select him till November.

Negatives: Not played for Boro or Coventry.

Looks the type that might wear ripped Jeans and  a baseball cap.

Decisions, decisions...who'd be a manager?

Yup, need a LB and a CB - get a two for one deal. Is he any better than our LBs though? Hardly difficult, same could be said about being better than Mulgrew right now. 

[Butty]

I really hope we go for Cunningham from Cardiff for the left back spot. Miles better than anything we have, yes that isn’t much but it’s true... On Joel Lynch, f**k that. He’s an absolute donkey. 

[Theaxe15]

I guess it's a positive that we're at least looking at CB's right?

Cant be right- there's no Bennett or Evan's on that list!

[JacknOry]

The fact that we actually have CBs coming in for talks at the club and are being linked with a LB is at least something. I will still prepare myself to be left disappointed though.

[Tom Greenwood]

@Bbrovers2288 heard anything about Cunningham?

To be fair if we sign a couple of defenders it will be happy days !

[Don Said]

Lynch and Cunningham would be good signings at this stage. 

Lynch is a no nonsense physical centre back, Cunningham looks a left back with the ability to defend(!!). By no means the greatest players in their position in the league but they would bring some key attributes of which we're currently missing. Both surely upgrades on what we have.

Cunningham rumour looks dubious at best though.

Only if they are better than we already have. 

Cunningham definitely would be. Not convinced with Lynch but he does seem a no nonsense type at least.

Plus Tone can take his time with this one given he doesn’t need to be in by Thursday’s deadline. Gives him another few weeks to go with his tried and tested.

That makes no sense.  

Yes it does!

[JHRover]

Reading have been busy. Lucas Joao on a 4 year deal, a Brazilian international goalkeeper and a midfielder on loan from Monaco. 

Guess their new manager didn't need 3 years to set up some international scouting.

isn't Mendes there helping them bring players in?

So here’s a really interesting one.

Rovers advertising a new job role for Head Of Europeans Scouting. 

Explains that the club has Tier 1-4 target lists. Does the fact that this role hasn’t yet been filled mean that we’ve barely begun our European exploits, or does it mean we’ve decided to step things up?

 

interesting job that tbh. Rovers have had scouts overseas this season but think they hoping for someone with experience of that market will apply for that job

How much they end up getting Joao for??

By the sounds of things similar to what we paid for Gallagher.

 I don’t think you’d need international scouting to see Sheffield Wednesdays bench. 

Equally, I’m not sure how you feel, but I don’t think you’d find many Rovers fans too enamoured with him either, especially after his spell here.

If it’s anywhere near the 7m quoted leeds interest, I would’ve been annoyed had that been us.

Finally - three Portuguese speaking players, from clubs recently at Forest, Wednesday... not exactly known for their shopping outside of agencies involved in their ownership...

Reminds me of you being envious of Wigan earlier in the window.

Lynch doesn't look so bad from this; going forward anyhow:
