looks like the cat's out of the bag
I posted this at 10.43 today on the Williams thread
after a sheff united match recently the manager was talking about signing players and he said there was one out there today - but he wanted too much money (presumably earlier in the season)- been trying to find the clip from April
so colemans says the decks are being cleared financially for a "rovers return"
let's look into my CRYSTAL ball
looks like Colemans is right ????
keshi played 70 minutes against Sheff united for Northampton
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39463234
the manager did say HE wanted too much money not THEY wanted too much money
-
Jamie?

reading the first post again it's blatantly obvious

my CRYSTAL ball had better make sure CRYSTAL palace stay up otherwise they'll need him if they offload Premiership players
-
Just spoken to Darren Ferguson. Hopes to have a left back signed in the next few days #drfc Hodden on twitter
-
Mansfield one IMO.
-
Jamie?
yeah - him too - both of them, in fact !
i blame senility and stupidity in equal amounts - f**k's sake...
-
Stevens off to sheff u
-
Will billy sharp become available now Evans has signed for the blades
-
Stevens off to sheff u
Him and Bennett both out of contract. Interesting how Kyle improved later this year.
-

No chance. Sharp will still be their main striker and deserves a proper shot with his team in the championship. Good luck to him, always want to see him do well.

Exactly like when he was playing for a new contract with us.
-
Can someone please tell me what Keshi Anderson has done to warrant signing him?

With us or a bigger club? The talent is clearly there but perhaps you can question if he cares or call him lazy.
-

Fergie knows he can get a tune out of him, he was great for us
-
Don't see Keshi as an out and out striker we need a foil for JM
-
I really rate Keshi from his time with us previously but I don't see him a striker but more as a replacement for copps behind the front two. Just my opinion of course.

I see Tommy Rowe in that position.
We need a tall striker as priority with only John Marquis with any height as a striker.

I reckon Keshi could play anywhere in an advanced MF role - central, left or right. Quick feet and creative.
-
Very good interview that. Admitting his own mistakes and learning from them.
His decisions on the released and transfer list seem to concur with most fans views. The next few weeks will tell us what sort of pulling power DF has.
Interesting times ahead.

Tbh Steve and PDX I agree with you both there. Stick Rowe in centre and keshi out wide. I just think if we get an opportunity to sign keshi then we should go for it as he showed plenty of quality and promise.

Keshi is more a Griezmann than a Coppinger.

I think you're all basing theories of ability on very limited evidence for us. The kid didn't play much before he broke his leg - is he still as good? (one hat-trick last season excepted)

Sorry but how would he? he never played for Ferguson.
The lad scored a whopping four goals last season yet we've got some weird fascination with him. If he comes back I hope he does well, but I've seen nothing since he picked up a serious injury here to suggest that he's anything special.
-
What are you talking about??
He scored in fergusons first game in charge
-
Ah, so he did. Still. He's done nothing since then to show he's worth it.
-
I agree
But some players are at their best for certain managers. Fergie gets the best out of lots of strikers,
-
Williams for example.
-
Marquis for example,
Mandeville for example
Williams best spell for us was also under Ferguson by a country mile
😂😂
And you say I argue for the sake of it
-
Now that the Blades have resigned Ched Evans what about a cheeky bid for James Hansen the striker/ target man they bought from Bradford, he going to 4th choice striker at the best at the Blades behind Sharp,Clarke and Evans
-
I also don't see what the big fuss surrounding keshi is. Fair enough he was good for us before he got injured but I wouldn't of said he was outstanding. Since his injury he's had a poor spell at Bolton and not pulled up any trees at Northampton. I wouldn't be overly excited about resigning him.
-

He was on £4K a week at City and is now on £10k at Sheffield. Utd.
He misses a lot of games through injury too.
-
10k a week for that lump? Are you serious?
-
Keshi is quality and i could see fergie getting the best out of him. Exciting and runs at defences too with quite a bit of speed, perhaps something totally different to what we have now.
I suppose we dont actually know that it is Keshi he is after, but I really hope so.
-
10K a week !!!!!!!! I didn't know that ,move on. If he was on 2.5K that would be about right
-
Ferguson does well with strikers it's defenders he doesn't seem to know what to with. Without looking at lists of who's released etc i would expect the Mansfield left back, Keshi and Carey from Plymouth might be another one.

You simply make your own arguments dickos.
-

He was a shelf stacker at the co-op in Idle before turning professional so come a long way. £4k a week at City seemed OTT but obviously the blades with a bigger budget speculated on him to get them over the line.
I can't see him featuring much now they are up.
-
Probably right idler, a bit like when Sharp went to Southampton.
He played a big part in their run in but then couldnt get a game in the PL on a regular basis.

Look at fergies record for developing and improving strikers. Then you'll realise how silly your pedantic comment on Williams was.
It's fine to not like fergie, but to keep going on and on trying to justify why you don't like him is embarrassing

Must have been handy for filling those higher shelves. Big loss to Co-op.

Almost as embarrassing as your argument that we didnt have a bad end of season run last season.

I suppose it all depends on what you mean by 'End of Season'
Let's take as an example the last 5 games of each season as a (not unreasonable?), starting point....
Last Season = Won, Drawn, Won, Lost, Drawn. = 8 Points from a possible 15
This Season = Drawn, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost = 1 Point from a possible 15
If you then compare those results with the previous 9 results in each season
Last Season = Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Drawn, Lost = 1 Point from a possible 27
This Season = Drawn, Won, Drawn, Won, Won, Won, Lost, Won, Won = 20 Points out of a possible 27
It would appear, from the above, that last seasons End of Season results were good compared to the previous 9 results in that season whilst this seasons End Of Season results weren't actually bad, they were simply abysmal compared with the previous 9 results.
Whilst I'm absolutely delighted we're promoted I'm equally despondent that it is only in third place given the position we were in before those last five games.
-
Kato, the last sentence of your post is exactly what i was trying to get across before my detractor began to get on my case.
-
Exactly kato, that's all I've been trying to explain to mr hound.
The end of last season was was good, it was the middle that cost us.
But that doesn't fit with his argument that fergie bottled it at the end of both seasons.
-
The end of last season was was good, it was the middle that cost us.
just a bit curious how you come to that conclusion, not trying to stir the pot (too much)
first sixteen games: three wins - five draws = 14 points
next fifteen games: six wins - four draws = 22 points
last fifteen games: two wins - four draws = 10 points
try a different split:
first twelve games: two wins - five draws = 11 points
next twelve games: six wins - two draws = 20 points
next eleven games: one win - three draws = 6 points
next eleven games: two wins - three draws = 9 points
another:
first ten games: one win - five draws = 8 points
next nine games: five wins = 15 points
next nine games: three wins - four draws = 13 points
next nine games: one draw = 1 point
last nine games: two wins - three draws = 9 points
averaging a point a game (or less) as in all of those illustrations cannot be considered good - it'll leave you with 46 points over the full season, and going down - there are only four instances in the last twenty years where a team has survived in league one on 46 points...
-
We were dog shit in the second half of last season. That is the only stat we need to consider.
Dog. Shit.
-
Credit due to Dickos has a heart of gold with regards to the rovers.never says a bad thing :scarf: maybe could be said he has many rose tinted spectacles.everyone to his own opinion.

Maybe Mr Dickos will come back and put you right on this Chris.

Kinda proves that whatever spin is put on this, our end of season was pretty poor.

I think you may be a bit obsessed

Not at all, but still surprised that you havent had a go at his post, or is it just mine you like to do that with?

Today Fergie showing intent. Rovers to play friendly against Derby County on 18th July at KM.

I've had many a discussion with him before,
Just don't think I'm that bothered anymore.

How does that show intent?

welll - it shows an intent to play a pre-season game against a half-strength championship side - not sure about much else...
