That Ronaldo gezzer in Spain would be worth a punt, but he might be a little on the old side for the young Rovers team we have.

I’ve just heard from a sheff Utd fan that I work with. Apparently we are interested in Ched Evans.

Alright Rhys.

I'm not much of a scout myself but, much like Selby with his touting of Harrison McGahey and Cannon of Rochdale, I did like the look of Wimbledon's Lyle Taylor when he played against us the other week. The kind of mobile forward we might be after to help out Marquis, although we may not even be interested, who knows.

I'd like us to sign Tom Anderson permanently if it's financially reasonable, and we really do need a specialist right back and a central midfielder too.

Anything less than this, sack the board. No bloody ambition Brammall!

Harrison McGahey and Cannon of Rochdale (Free), Tom Anderson (Free), Houghton/Alex Woodyard, based on Strachan saying we will look at a big forward then it would be Tom Eaves (don't think there is any chance though), if not then maybe a punt on Akinde.

- Houghton
- Anderson
- Cover at right back
- A replacement for Baudry
- A pacy and creative midfielder / forward
- A striker

Tom Eaves is awful.

Dynamic midfielder who can get his foot in and male things happen. More Wellens than Stock. Bit of bite but also drive.
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: steve@dcfd on May 09, 2018, 02:49:19 pm
Anderson
Right sided player who can fill in at fullback and be first choice Right Sided midfield player.
Left sided midfielder
Both midfield players should be able to get stuck in be able to play in different systems. Most of all have a goal threat.
Physical but mobile striker again a goal threat.
That’s 4 minimum.

Would like two more but doubt it will happen.
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: Alan Southstand on May 09, 2018, 03:01:09 pm
Definitely Anderson and a striker to partner JM.

After those 2, my absolute priorities lie with midfield and, like the above poster, they would both be wide players and not young lads who are still wet behind the ears. There has to be an input to creativity whilst also maintains a solidity.

For me, next season, Copps and Rowey should be sharing the tip of the diamond, assuming we are stuck with that formation.

It really all depends on the ‘b’ word, though.

You want male things to happen when he gets his foot in? you know you can do that at home pal.

Suggesting random foreign players for no reason other than the fact that he's either heard of them or they're free agents hahaha.

Throwback to that time he genuinely thought we should sign J Lloyd Samuel from I think an Iranian club.

Sonny Bradley is out of contract at Plymouth certainly a defender we should look at.

A full back that can preferably cover both sides, a centre half, a ball wining midfielder, a creative midfielder/winger, 2 strikers.  So a minimum of 6 players for me.

I'm sure Andy Butler would like to get a look at him too after getting a crack in the back of the head from him earlier in the season!

Exactly, let’s the opponent know he’s there and they won’t have an easy ride

I hope that's true, Rhys; he might be a bit of a kn*bhead, but we'd only be paying him to score goals, and he certainly knows how to do that.

Steven Taylor transfer listed at Pboro
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: drfchound on May 09, 2018, 06:20:58 pm
I wouldn’t have any issues with us signing Ched Evans.
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: DonnyOsmond on May 09, 2018, 06:27:15 pm
I would. Only because of his record since he came back is a bit average.

I’m not saying sign him or not.

Since 2009 he’s played at league 1 level until he came back in the Championship. But his best record was at league 1 level with Sheff Utd. That’s where he scored the majority of his goals.
But that was 6 years ago.

Post by: scawsby steve on May 09, 2018, 06:50:20 pm
I've just checked, and apparently Ched Evans is under contract until 2020, so unless they transfer list him, it's a non-starter. Also, Sonny Bradley is being offered a new contract at Plymouth.

Yes but it doesn’t mean he will sign it, they had Diagouraga but lost him in January even though they offered him a contract to Fleetwood

If they offered him a contract to Fleetwood no wonder they lost him.... Boom tish

Emmanuel-thomas has been released by QPR i think he could help marquis
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: selby on May 10, 2018, 09:46:00 am
  Could be a good shout that Spadge, he works best coming in off the right, Marquis comes out left a lot.
  Getting players to gell, suit the style of play your team plays, and keeping fit, are as important as ability it seems in the modern game.
  Manchester United are the best example of that, individual ability is not going to get you in their team at the moment, if you don't conform to the style of play.

JET will probably be on a wedge though and hasn't done much recently

I'd like us to try get Vassell from Blackpool I'm sure he's out of contract so is available. Think he'd be good with Marquis and the both of them wouldn't give anyone in this league an easy game
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: GazLaz on May 10, 2018, 11:49:35 am
We need a forward that wants to run in behind and stretch teams. JET wouldn’t do that.
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on May 10, 2018, 12:48:14 pm
We just need a forward who"s not afraid to score goals! Anything else is a bonus.
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: DearneValleyRover on May 10, 2018, 01:14:21 pm
Vassell is a good shout every time I’ve seen him he’s as annoying to defenders as Marquis would just need someone in behind them who could take advantage of the space they would create
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: bpoolrover on May 10, 2018, 01:18:19 pm
Problem with vassel he is always injured

Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on May 10, 2018, 03:41:58 pm
Ah stay away if that's the case but someone similar would do, that striker for Bristol Rovers would be good if the performance against us at home is anything to go by (admittedly not sure on his record over the season) but he was a handful

Its an obvious problem this season that other than Marquis we had nothing to worry anyone up top. As Liverpool show having a proper threat up top gives everyone else so much more space and will turn the draws into wins which would see us around the playoffs without much improvement in the rest of the team
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets

Ellis Harrison.

12 goals in 40 odd appearances. Not far off Marquis and only 24 so would grow. He got their Supporters Player of the Year.
Title: Re: Summer transfer targets
Post by: Rhys 'milo' Miles on May 11, 2018, 09:18:07 pm
Clayton Donaldson has been released by sheff Utd, he could be useful perhaps

He was class. Him and Lyle Taylor 2 of the stand outs at the KM this year.

Donaldson would be great to sign.  12 month Contract. Could be worth the investment if we made top6

He won't be suggesting that any more. Just heard Jlloyd Samuel's died in a car crash. Strange, sad news.
