Reeks of having learnt nothing from the past with new people at the horn. We need bodies that are ready and not players that go straight into the treatment room. No talk of blocking pathways any longer, that's for sure. 

which of Sanderson and Forshaw will go on straight into the treatment room?

Confirmation this morning on LT quotes from eustace

 Forshaw is a club signing not particularly his 

"I haven't worked with Adam but the club worked hard to get that experienced midfielder to help with his knowledge of the league. I hope he'll play a vital part on and off the pitch

The way its works between Eustace and Gestede/recruitment team from Gestede's comments at the last Fans Forum meeting 

"the process was that John Eustace and the team identified any position that needed strengthening. The team matched any suitable available players within budget for that position and then John would choose one from a short list of 3-5 players"

I very much doubt that theyd sell him for that even considering his contract situation, with it being mid season and especially to us.

And im not convinced we have a million to spend on a fee. 

PNE will have a decision to make cos if they can get a fee in for him, maybe its something they will take 

none of us know what the budget do we?

Maja and Rhys Healey became your obsessions for a while. Maja's goals this season have come from nowhere really, his last few seasons bar a flurry in Ligue 2 havent suggested this was round the corner. Healey has done nothing.

Its not obsessions, its myself suggesting players who will be good players like I have done every window. Healey has been pretty much injured at Huddersfield since he joined there. 

on Maja, his quality was there to be since but this season he has 12 goals, and he is ft and has played in 25 games so far this season, previous season he only made 12 games. 

I suggested Jay Stansfield 18 months ago and there is plenty more I have suggested who would have been good signings here and improve us

Eustace is as publically underwhelmed as youll see based on those quotes.

At least Gestede did his old mate a favour.

based on what?

Go and read Eustace interview over a month ago where he says he has his targets the club have theirs so hopefully everybody is happy something along those lines

point being is forshaw as clear as day because it was an ‘emergency’ signing is gestede driven forshaw even says it in his interview

I would expect Eustace to have suggestions just like every head coach does and will suggested. JDT did, Mowbray did, etc.

no-one expected Baker to be recalled but Rovers got a replace in and quick. Good quick management from Gestede and Eustace, Similar with Sanderson which no-one had the inside scoop on and when I saw the notification on my phone when I got to work I was surprised but happy with the signing

Missing the point again. I’m merely saying forshaw isn’t a Eustace signing as such like yourself and a few others have indicated

sanderson is - no problem with that at all

Forshaw, fo' shaw

he has started 7 games, came on as a sub 9 times and unused sub 5 times. not selected 4 times. 

So how the hell have you worked out your previous comments ? 🙄

[roversfan99]

"Good quick management" to sign Forshaw.

Glowing report from Eustace, cost "next to nothing."

Eustace's picked the target we signed from 3-5 man shortlist. simple as. Eustace wanted an experience midfielder so Gestede and his team very quickly complied a 3 to 5 man shortlist and present that to Eustace who picked which one he wants  

 

[roversfan99]

Presumably with the unexpected nature of Baker leaving, we hadnt got together a list of 3-5 midfielders in half a week.

If we had, I can only imagine the level of the others on that list. Corry Evans having left a short term contract in League 2? Jason Lowe?

and? Its a short term signing needed to replace Baker. That's its FFS

Our season target won't be determined by signing Forshaw BUT by the quality of the striker we sign. That's what WILL determined our season. Don't I wish we could find a Alan Shearer or Roque Santa Cruz type. That is what we are missing

A normal club would have ‘what if’ lists available for all foreseeable eventualities.

Ours on the other hand…

How do you actually know that? Your guessing just because rudy said before that’s the process doesn’t mean it to be true especially for last min emergency signings

everything the club does chaddy isn’t always right you know 

[rigger]

I am not bothered whose choice players are, as long as the players perform for the Rovers.

[chaddyrovers]

Why wouldn't we? the recruitment department should have plenty of players on the database and it shouldn't take long to make a shortlist. They are employed to do this for a job professional

the lengths you are going to is pathetic to disapproved the system in place to sign when your Head of Football operations have told the fan forum group how we do it. FFS. I give up with you

Couldn’t have been too much of an issue if he’s currently the top scorer in the league.

Maybe the issue was he was fully fit?

Didn't we have a tendency to keep someone new on the bench for about 3 months while they got to know the way we played?

Can only see what Eustace does with these new guys coming in, he's got the best out of what we have so far so these guys won't be any different can't play them down just yet

Embarrassing the lengths you are going to prove your point. Do you have any evidence what Gestede has publicly to the fans forum isn't the way transfers are done here?
