This is Mowbray though, he likes to "bed them in".

He's a keeper, he doesn't need bedding in like outfield positions. Plus we'd be relying on an unfit Fisher or an 18 year otherwise.

I agree, but I also expect at least somewhat for Mowbray to do what Mowbray does.

Or maybe we'll have a domestic back up keeper signed for free or on loan by the start of the season too and he can play the first couple of games...

Maybe but even so my point still stands because it shouldn't have come to this where is the real planning ?

We might be better just risking it with a rookie for a few games than signing another duffer because we are desperate. What use another Leutwiler when they can't displace the likes of Walton.

Kaminski doesn't have to have trained with the 1st team to play for the 1st team. If he's our No 1 and he's fit he'll more than likely play against Bournemouth.

 

If he is quarantined he will have to stay in a hotel for two weeks will he not? I read that as no training or contact with other people. And then there is Mowbrays famed integration policy.......

[roversfan99]

Find it a little strange considering he is a 27 goalkeeper so coming into his supposed peak in the next few years and also for a player costing a fee coming from abroad that we are signing him initially on only a 2 year deal.

Lets hope we get our arses in gear and get some other transfers wrapped up this week. With only 2 further weeks after this week until the new season and with the added curveball if any foreign signings needing to isolate.

Rovers still trying to sort out him not having to go into quarantine

It's 2 years with the option of a third in the club's favour

We don't play B'mouth for 3 weeks.

Sensible decision. Cheers for clearing the air on that one!

With Kaminski landing things are looking up. If we could get Cunningham and Kipre plus an experienced CB and a promising GK that would be a very good window compared to what I expected a week ago.

Ajayi stood out in that Rotherham side. Would have been a great purchase for sensible money.

Just like Kipre would be this year.  

I just don't get the penny pinching with defenders.

 

Agreed.

Don't know how Kipre hasn't earned a Premier League move personally.

Suggested in the Lancashire Telegraph that Kipre is too dear because we cant afford 7 figure fees.

Still a target, and with admin and not yet finding a buyer and needing to raise money you'd hope that it will reduce down to something affordable.

So we are on course to start the season with a rookie kid between the sticks ?

Quarantine etc can't be helped but unless we get someone else in i'll stress again it's a very poor show from the management.

Hopefully this lad settles in quickly and everyone gives him a chance.

I disagree we are living in pretty much unprecedented times to blame the manager for a situation  not under his control is wrong. What in your opinion should he have done signed someone he does not want as much so he could play in the carabo cup. Tbh i dont care single jot for the cups this year just extra games I'd have scrapped them all this season.

True, but I suspect the fee would have to drop a lot, and surely teams who can offer more will still beat us to it.

Not sure he is Premier League worthy at this stage, would have been a good signing for us but on a tight budget I suspect we may have to look elsewhere. Hopefully we can get someone in before the weekend, although I would be pleasantly surprised.

Definitely not. Don't get the hype personally. Would take pretty much any Championship quality defender at this point for Rovers, but talks of PL interest around Kipre baffle me.

Cheapish for a prem team to take him at 1.5m if he provides even just cover then he will have been worth it at prem level.

Wonder if Wigan would be interested in signing Derrick Williams or Charlie Mulgrew? We could involve either in a player plus cash swap deal for Cédric Kipré, and both have valuable experience getting a team up from League One to the Championship.

Hell, offer both in swap for the lad, Wigan only have 15 players of 1st team pedigree on the books. They might need the numbers.

Granted wages could be a stumbling block (see Mulgrew with Portsmouth).

I have been critical of Tomo's recruitment but this Kaminski looks very good on paper, great credentials for a decent price?!

I think both of those two will be on more than the likes of Wigan are prepared to pay in the current circumstances.

Quite possible it's just misdirection.Club does like everyone else being in the dark about our targets. Kipre and Cunningham would be cheaper alternatives to those I'm about to suggest. I can't really see Cardiff letting us have Cunningham for free.

Suppose and I say suppose we signed the following players on what they were on before:

Westwood GK(30kpw), Brad Smith LB(25kpw, Van Der Hoorn (R)CB(15kpw) and Ayala (L)CB (25kpw) and throw in Kaminiski on say 12kpw and that's our wage saving eliminated and a new centre back partnership. Obviously, we couldn't bring in Martin (CF), assuming we wanted to, without lowering those wages by at least a third. We might get Schmidt for £500k, though I doubt it.

We could fund Whiteman (£2m) by selling Williams to one of DC United or LA Galaxy who were rumoured to be ready to put a bid in back in March this year. I don't think I''ll get any support for Williams being sold for £2M. So Whiteman will stay a Mowbray dream.

Hopefully, Kaminski passes his medical.

Logically they could afford neither, particularly Williams. Anyway, Mulgrew left there last season because things didn't work out.

Its a 2 year contract with the club option of third season. 

What length of contract would you like to see? 

I imagine we will make couple more signings before the start of the season then a couple more before of the 16th October deadline

New manager might change that.
