I had thought, following from Glen’s post, that with these deals and the calibre of players we’re going for that there must be some sell on fees in these deals. Just hope they’re not extortionate! But then again, without the sell ons, we’re probably not getting the players.

Expand  

There's always a way...given their ages and profiles, I'd be telling Venkys it's better paying a bit more now than a lot more later.

Reliably informed from Barnsley side (agent) that Styles is rovers bound, seen as a Smith-Rowe type player.

Some fine details re sell on clauses, but this is likely to happen.

This is not related to my meeting today, which i will report on later

Get in! What stickers are left?

Yeah it's YouTube (Pineapple head flash backs) but he looks like he'd be a class signing!

Salgado from Real Madrid.

To 3rd division lad from Barnsley.

As I've already pointed out to you, the lad has played in the '2nd division' for the last two seasons. But why let facts get in the way of a good trolling eh?

Tell me that Nyambe isn’t as good as what we had previously ? Kenna was class, Atkins was better when he played right back in the team, Pearce and May excelled in that position when asked. Both Emerton and Robbie the Aussie did as good when asked👍😅

Lucas neill, berg, mcateer, Curtis all better than nyambe aswell

He would be a class signing.

McAteer wasn't, but you're listing Premier League footballers. They're all better than what we currently have.

Guess who we'll get more service out of - not to mention profit - in a couple of years?

Folks, this is getting totally out of hand now. The last 2 pages have had: arguments with people giving up their time to moderate, accidental (if there's such thing) racism and mocking. So I need to be 100% clear:

1) I wrote the rules, so I know what they are. To be clear:

You are allowed to be positive about Rovers here and you are allowed to be negative too.

You are allowed an opinion - and we will not be stopping people from posting their opinions whether those opinions are "PNE have a better squad than us, we haven't signed enough players, we're going down" or "I'm positive about the JDT revolution and the future under GB and JDT". 

We will not be banning anyone for having opinion and we will not accept recommendations from users on who should or who should not be banned. 

Expand  

Reminder about point 1. We aren’t having people being accused of being fans of other clubs, just as we aren’t having people being called club plants.

Just stop it.

Oh dear, little knowledge?

You sure about that when the OP was referring to right backs etc??

 

Expand  

Aye all right. You clearly didn't have a clue who Johnny Price was when you replied to CLB' s tongue in cheek post about "Price" being a winger.

Understandably so unless you're getting on a bit like me.

It’s on the Steve Waggott thread

[Ossydave]

Quite a lengthy article posted by Sharpe, confirms the deal for a midfielder is at an advanced stage. Confirms the bid for Styles last time round was 1.5m, I reckon we'll definitely be back sniffing.

Yes, he was a right winger who loved to kick the ball past the full back and simply use his pace to beat his man before getting a cross in. He was very good at it.

You’re more than likely thinking of Chris Price but I’ll forgive you. 😆

Johnny Price died on the same day as Noel Brotherston, just a few days before we won the premier league.

Mate I 100% think he should start, he’s class…my question is what are peoples opinions as to where? LWB, in the middle?

Expand  

It'll be interesting to see. LWB under JDT will be very attack-minded so could be there. Pickering is a weak spot in our team and needs replacing as he's not dynamic enough for the high-intensity style of play in my view. Styles wouldn't replace Brereton so it's either LWB or LCM is my guess.

Wow, that's weird. Noel was very young and "Tom Thumb" must only have been early 50's?

Both right wingers as well.

Bit harsh probably.

Whilst I agree there's still much MUCH more to do in terms of recruitment I'd say this lad theoretically looks in a different bracket to the calibre of player we've  brought in over the last couple of seasons. (Pickering, Edun, Hedges etc)

Let's hope it pans out that way and let's hope there's at least several more to follow.

Expand  

What makes you say that Brittain looks in a different bracket in terms of calibre to those named players, out of interest?

Yeah Noel was late 30s and I believe Johnny took his own life in his early 50s.
