Tom Anderson

[Dare to dream!]

Signs on a two year deal

[since-1969]

Oh I wasn’t expecting that 

[pib]

Good news - I think he improved the more games he played and should be a good addition.

[DearneValleyRover]

Good start certainly made us stronger at set pieces

[DonnyOsmond]

Decent signing. Still could do with one more at the back. Maybe that young lad we had on trial? Add that to Wright, Butler, Anderson, Blaney, Amos, Mason and McCullough we should have enough able to play at the center.

[ravenrover]

Thought the 1st thing DF was going to do was offer Copps a new contract, does that mean he's not signed😈😁
Excellent news that Tom has signed

[Bentley Bullet]

He cost us 3 points at Rotherham - by getting injured. That's how good he can be. Good signing.

[mushRTID]

Happy with that

[GazLaz]

He’s a good age and played 100+ first team games. Him and Wright could be a very good partnership going forward.

[selby]

 Miss the one a day we used to do, Copps next?

[ZiggerZagger]

Well happy with this signing, definitely a player to improve us. A Rob Jones type of player who knows how to play and he's not afraid to put his head in. Plus he can score too 😀

[Jonathan]

Very good signing to start things off. Fitted in well and definitely adds something to the team. Happy with this.

[Alan Southstand]

Good start and 1 of the 4 Signings we need.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Really happy with that. At least 2 more new pieces of the jigsaw to come.

Rob Jones is how I’d describe his style too. Probably lacking the leadership but Jones did have about 12 years on him.

Disappointing to lose Baudry’s class but for me I just want our centre backs to keep the ball away from the goal. Couldn’t care less where it ends up as long as it’s not in the back of the net! Head it and kick it clear. Anderson does just that.

Rotherham away was a perfect example. He stays on the pitch we win that game.

[DonnyOsmond]

He could have at least ironed the shirt he's wearing in the announcement pic.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

How he looks is clearly not his top priority. Ha ha. That's to our advantage!

[the vicar]

Oh I wasn’t expecting that 

so why was you not expecting that, swing as DF ages ago he wanted him, and he was free

[RoversAlias]

Good signing for me, his performance at Rotherham typified the type of player he can be, plus he's been steady since his first couple of games and proved his goal threat at set pieces too.

A more than solid start to the summer and evidence enough that we aren't sitting around and waiting to get going in the market.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Delighted. A sign Ferguson has learnt something this season.

[Chris Black come back]

This is pleasing - adding something that was needed and playing him where he can actually play. This is a good start indeed.

[johnny rovers]

Good start and 1 of the 4 Signings we need.

We need more than 4 Alan, not sure if we will get it though

[Chris Black come back]

Would add a midfielder who can bring some real bite and urgency, another genuine striker (rather than winger playing as striker) and given deputies to Andrew (Amos - looks good but very young) and Mason (Blair - not a full back) we have to think carefully about how we support Andrew and Mason.

[Chris Black come back]

Butler, Anderson, Wright and McCullough is pretty strong group for centre backs.

[Alan Southstand]

McCullough as a deputy only and, for me, he wouldn’t be first choice def mid, either. The next massive signing is who is going to partner JM, this coming season. After that, 2 wide midfielders (one right, one left) and then we can add maybe a couple of loanees into the mix.
I agree with you, Johnny, but it depends on the budget and how far it will stretch!

[ravenrover]

I think you've missed the sarcasm in that one Dave😉

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well, bearing in mind Kiwomya is right side as well as Blair, if you gave me Oztumer and a proven striker alongside Marquis, I'll be straight down to the bookies to lump on.

[Chris Black come back]

Midfield weak spot for me. Only dedicated midfielders who can play 90mins are Rowe and Whiteman. Neither has shown ability to consistently dominate games at this level. Copps is going to be 60mins player and Houghton we just do not know and our mate Rodney has gone. We need a commanding centre midfielder who can drive the midfield. We all know this is not going to be McCullough. Otherwise we look lightweight and one dimensional in centre midfield.

[MachoMadness]

Good signing is that. I'd say we need another at the back to replace Baudry though.

[Bezza]

very happy, think this lad can be a good un.
