January Transfer window

[Andy]

Ignore the Bamford thing - he was on about Dennis (being a good signing, if he stays fit), I presumed he was on about Bamford, being a Leeds fan.

Sorry!

[Darwen Rover 007]

Dennis a loan? 

[danger19_80]

Luton fans here quite generous about Woodrow

Just fuck off Venkys

[Bbrovers2288]

Need somebody else to mix the contracts up and have cauley Dennis and Emmanuel Woodrow on the contracts to scupper the deal last minute

Not 100% sure about the Woodrow signing but eustace has always gone on about championship experience. And he certainly has that even if he hasn't been brilliant or even fit as of late haha. I'm hoping ohashi coming back in a month comes back firing like the beginning of the season. 

Woodrow looks like a L1 player. Did well for Barnsley there.

He's also 30 so he's not going to get any better.

It would be another bizarre signing from a group of bizarre people.

[M_B]

Woodrow seems a bit left field, even for our lot. Don't shoot me, but seems more likely to be a Eustace request.

Has he got any past links with him??

No, his mum's with him.

Would Dennis mean you expect us to make the top 6?

I think it gives us a much better chance of finishing top 6 then signing a young striker from PL who has played at this level before.

Do you have any concerns about the deal, or is it all positive?

Lets see what the deal actually is first.

Lack of game time, not a prolific goalscorer?

The lack of game time could be an issue but we don't know how fit he is and what he has been doing at Forest. He has scored goals at PL and championship level

Do you have any concerns about how many of our players are on short term deals?

I have mentioned recently that Rovers need to get our key players on long term deals like Brittain, Pears, Hyam, Travis and Tronstad. In fact, you respond to me asking about Hedges and Dolan, so I don't get why you asking again when I have been more than clear what we need to be doing

Our wingers are a weak area so I was thinking at times if we had Kargbo and Dennis either side, we could still have Gueye (or Ohashi down the middle) and Cantwell behind and they are both dying for some pace to run in behind which theyd have.

Dennis a striker, so play him there. 

what your opinion on Woodrow coming here?

I’m actually not dead against the Woodrow one if true, wanted him when he was at Barnsley , scored some cracking goals and has previous with brittain. 
he is by far a better option than shankland

Would have preferred midfield or right back cover rather than another striker to be honest.

Seems overkill now seeing we only play with 1 striker unless theres a change of formation comkng

We are still short in midfield I agree.

Woodrow is often more of a number 10 and Dennis is comfortable wide so I guess there is scope for more than 1 to start.

Don't shoot me, but it seems more like a Eustace request signing. Has he played with/managed him before I'm wondering.

What makes him the better option over Shankland? Based on stats alone you’d have to say Shanklands numbers are better. Shankland also younger.

I’ve not watched much of either of them so I was looking at it solely on the numbers. 

[roversfan99]

I wonder which player wont be registered if we dont fuck something up and get both.

If Woodrow comes in, then I guess Leonard is heading out on loan? Not exactly an upgrade but Harry needs more playing time for his development. Would've liked for the club to try signing another target man like Gueye as we don't have a backup that can do his job. 

Leonard is currently injured.

You’d guess Siggy, can we still sell to some countries after today?

So is Dennis for real?

Of all the sticks to beat Venkys with, how many pages the Brfcs transfer thread has is not one of them. It is not a metric.

Woodrow is crap. Dennis was a good player, questions surround not playing for so long. Much happier with him.

You?

Unless Pickering isnt registered if he is going to be out for the majority of the season.

I never mentioned Venkys in my posts have I. 

Now your bitterness is coming through cos I have faith we would sign a quality striker. Dennis fits that

Forest won't include an option to buy him. 

Play him up front. We got 4 wide players and it does give us the option of going 2 up front for games or during games. 

Dennis is someone mentioned on here earlier in the window and I mentioned last couple of weeks he would be the sort of loan which would be a quality one

Are you not concerned that he hasn't played a game in over 9 months?
