hoping to sign 2 today according to radio dee dah
-
Let's hope they are right. I guess we're after two defenders, but I would quite like to see a defender and a defensive midfielder brought in. I think we're missing Keegan badly and I wonder how long it will take him to get up to speed.
-
2 weeks
-
A defender is a must, and I would say a pacy attacking midfielder to help create for Williams and Main.
At least that, plus perhaps another CB and CM.
Whether you believe him or not, PD says he has been looking for more players all the time and has chased up this week. We know that this season the club has made its transfer dealings very discretely, so who's to know what has been going on behind the scenes.
It will be interesting to see if there are any specific rumours for loanees?

been greedy I no but would av preferred 4
-
I know what you mean, but I think it comes down to the quality of the players.
I remember times when we've added one good quality player and it's lifted the whole team.
-
2 wingers, center back a right back, left back and a center mid. I make that 6
-
I'm with Keith. 6 minm. We needed 3 before we got the last 2 injuries.
-
It's getting beyond a joke now. Is it really that difficult to get the right players in? Even if we get 2 today (I agree we need a lot more), what chance have they got of integrating into the squad ready for tomorrow?. If we don't get anyone in I'd say its pretty obvious why.
-
Any more than 2 loans may not be sustainable!
-
I see in his column he is saying you cant legislate for the injuries weve got which I guess is true...But when your squads thinner than a racing snake to start with what just do you expect?? I don't rate the guy anymore I admit and would happily see him replaced but I cant help wonder wether it's his incompetence why we didn't bring the amount he said he needed in the summer or wether despite the assurances the board just don't want to spend the money and he cant say that...One of those statement is correct but which one????
-
I'm assuming it's not like championship manager, I think it would be quite difficult to get the right players in.
Clubs aren't going to let their better players just go, the only players were likely to get are youngsters from higher leagues and usually that don't happen until after the prem teams have announced their squads
-
How many players have we had injured since pre season. If we hadn't then the squad would be good enough.
I think most people would rather spend the budget on 6 good players than 9 average ones
-
Strangely dickos every other club has managed to get players in. We need a right back, 2 wingers and a pacey centre half we would be ok then
-
Every other club?
We've signed as many as most and our squad is as big or bigger than most.
-
We had a wafer thin squad last season but were lucky with injuries. Ten left in the summer and seven came in, so we were already three down on last season. We now have what you would say are at least five regular first teamers out injured. We need at least six new signings.

DONE DEAL: #DRFC have swooped to sign midfielder Cameron Stewart on loan from @Official_ITFC More to come...
-
A winger/forward whose had more clubs than Arnold Palmer....But it's a body in for Saturday by the sounds..Lets hope he gives us some spark...

I disagree, we need someone of this like to cover for HF and add a bit of pace up top in place of Tyson.
I think a RB is of equal priority, as I said before. There is one being discussed on the Rumour Mill today.
-
Odd signing but still happy.
Could do with two defenders more though.
-
He's very good. Far better than Evina!
-
Could do with a striker to play up front with Andy Williams as well.

Yes, but we have another senior striker available. It's a question of priorities.

Main has been improving recently. I always say he needs a run in the team to get going properly. The priority is a defender, or two.
-
Pace is a massive priority,
Good signing
Without forester and Tyson were struggling for wingers

Evina, Copps, Whitehouse and N'guessan back next week? Not sure i agree
-
so we've got evina who's a full back and copps
Whitehouse is far from ready.
Most people on here have been bemoaning the lack of pace, so we sign someone with bags of it and it's not someone we need.
Getting silly now criticising for the sake of it

I didn't criticise the signing, just stated in my opinion the position he plays was not a priority given our defensive injuries
-
We needed a winger to provide crosses for Williams. He showed on Tuesday that he can head a goal.

I with you on this we have needed a winger.
We have not seen N'guessen yet so he will come into the equation when he is fit?
He plays down the left so that will be a plus Evina can go back to his role of covering both postions.
-
We've got Lund butler Jones Mckenzie plus the left back.
We've only wellens copps Middleton chaplow in midfield. We need more than that

and I'd take wellens and copps out of that mid

...........and you would be taking all the skill and creativity out of the team.

And replace them with whom? Messi and Ronaldo?
-
A good signing, the only moan being is he is a right footed left winger, other than that we need pace and some creativity and a threat from out wide.
He needs his time with us to get his career moving again, let's hope he helps us and we help him.

Put like that it has echoes of the experiment

Conceptually, yes, but Barnsley are sourcing players from different clubs and I would guess are not using one agent to facilitate the deals.
What we got was all the players that Willie either couldn't shift or needed to move on. The only one who came close to the concept was Fabian Robert, and it is no surprise that he is one of the few remembered fondly.
-
I though Diouf was great for us.
Scored goals and plenty of assists.

Agreed.
And he gave 100% unlike some of the others.
-
Beye was good too,
Problem was a lot of people were unhappy sod had gone so whatsoever happened next would cause unrest.
-
Forester doesn't play as a winger, he plays as a striker who starts in a wide position. Compared with a winger he rarely passes the ball.
-
Well for what it's worth I'll tell you what I heard.
The imported players couldn't believe the money our existing (SOD's) players were on. The camp was split into two cliques - Rovers old boys, and Rovers new boys.

1new sighning and move copps to right back

Not for me, Evina and Main to the bench, Lund at RB, Stewart and Middleton in and give Stewart, Copps and to a certain extent Chaplow a licence to roam
-
We haven't got another new signing though.
Stuckman
Lund
Butler
Mckenzie
Taylor
Copps
Chaplow
Wellens
Stewart
Middleton
Williams

Thats the team I'd pick, people will lament the fact theres only one up top, but played in the right way that is a good team, with a solid backbone in midfield, it's down to Stewart Copps and Chaplow to show some energy and desire to support Williams
