Just signed for Peterborough for 500k from Barnet. Ferguson said he tried to sign him for us but couldn’t.
-
Maybe he didn’t want to move up north..?
-
Maybe he didn’t want to move up north..?
Or more than likely we wouldn't pay a fee like that for a 20/21 year old non league footballer, and that isn't a dig at the club.
I would just be shocked if we did.
-
Similar to what mccann said about signing Wilks
-
maybe this was the final straw as far as Fergie was concerned and explains his departure?

Absolute rubbish.
He wasn't even on our clubs radar.

I'm not sure anything could justify his behaviour and his departure
-

maybe. I doubt he’d have given up the chance of moving to league 1 football from the conference though

It wasn't even up for consideration as the lad was never on the clubs radar.

I personally couldn't give a monkey's what Peterborough do in the transfer market.....

How do you know that? Do they tell you every player that is on their radar?

that doesn't surprise me.........we don't seem to have anybody on our radar..... :lol:

Do you think the club always tell you the truth Martin? Not just on this matter but others as well?

Transfer news: Done deals in January 2020 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers
Just for balance, you can see they've also taken Reece Brown on loan. Oh dear.
Majority of business being done at the moment are loans which is expected. Some exceptions though.

What’s wrong with Reece brown, I thought that was a very good signing for them

And McCann who made a similar quote? They have no reason to lie. The club does in my opinion.

yes it does seem odd. McCann reckoned he had wilks lined up as well. I’d be surprised if Ferguson has lied about this it’s exactly the sort of transfer he would go for and no matter what people think of him his recruitment was really good. Equally I couldn’t see the club forking that out for a non league player. It isn’t our policy.

Brilliant, another club sign a player - a player I doubt most of us have ever heard of - for quite a lot of money and it's turned into a chance to have a dig at Rovers. Again.

not really. I started this thread because Ferguson stated he tried to sign him for us. I thought it would interest our fans of our past transfer targets. Is that such a problem?

The same fans who think Bingham and Thomas aren't good enough because they're from non league, but they'd be happy spending half a million on another

In fairness he's been a success at non league. What Bingham and Thomas have ever achieved you could write on a postage stamp! It baffles me how they even landed a contract here in the first place.

It’s irrelevent where they’re from, can see with my own eyes they aren’t good enough. We could’ve signed them from Barcelona and they’d still not be good enough.
Massive sweeping statement implying all non league players are of the same standard don’t you think?

if
here we go again,just like in the GE,people telling me why I think the way I do.I think the way I do about Bingham and Thomas simply because I have seen them play,if we had got them from a premier league club they would still be shite.
-
After watching Peterborough in the game over Christmas, I agree with Fergie, they want a half million pond mid fielder, what he has signed before are not good enough.

I think what they want is a half a million quid manager.

Although out of the 4 midfielders that day he only signed one of them 👍

I thought that was common knowledge that we would have had first dibs on Wilkes had we won promotion.
-
McCann said he agreed the fee in January though so we could’ve had him permanently then
-
Most of our best permanent players over the last three/ four season were signed by DF. Yes he also signed some risk players that have not achieved.
We just got maybe a bit of profit from selling Alfie, we have definitely got a profit from selling JM.
GM used those players better I agree and with three good loanees we had a side got to the playoffs.
Three of our best players at the moment were signed by DF.
So he does have an eye for a good player and tries to get them on permanent deals, whether he gets the best out of his teams is debatable and not consistent.
Let’s not forget he also signed Max Watters who could turn out to be a good player, but he came from way down the pyramid and was a risk signing.
I’ve questioned before has the policy on signing players on permanent contracts, especially strikers, changed.
-
Open to opinion but over the last 3/4 seasons I would say our best players have been:
Marquis
Whiteman
Copps
Butler
Anderson
Kane
Wilks
First two were signed by Ferguson, the rest not. He signed some good players, not most, I would argue. Not all permanent, granted but you need to spot a good loan player.

Yes, I would say he is. Much like the statements he gave to the press before and after he walked away from us.
-
Fergie would say that, just as McSnake said he could have signed Wilks when he was here.
It’s sour grapes from Fergie because he wasn’t a good enough manager to take us forward & McSnake is lashing out because of the way he left us in the :turd: & is attempting to put different slant on why he walked. It’s pitiful.....no, actually it’s laughable. It’s quite apparent we are still ‘under their skin’, good.
-
Can't people see that DF is having a pop at us as a club here? He's telling the whole world that his previous club, DRFC, wouldn't pay that kind of money, but his current club will back him to that extent.
It's the same rubbish he came out with when he was here.

Chris he signed Anderson just before he left having had him on loan.
There are couple others but we’ll be debating all night.

Anderson was signed by fergie.
Blair, Wright, lawlor, Andrew, mason, were all very good signings too
-
It beggars complete belief that DM as had a few month to prepare for the opening of this window, either he hasn’t a clue or his hands are tied IMO, unfortunately I think it’s a bit of both. How on earth anyone can justify Thomas and Bingham as good enough and there records speak for themselves it’s ridiculous recruitment
-
Did those two players join during this window.?
Is it not possible that transfer plans long worked on can be scuppered at short notice - Idah for example.?

That is correct, Ferguson did I see sign Anderson both on loan and permanently.

Except how do you know that he would be worth it? We'd never seen Thomas or Bingham before, they flopped, all of a sudden without seeing him, he's worth 500k? You're just happy to have something else to complain about
-
Peterborough sign a new player and this forum goes nuts? We do have some very odd people supporting the Rovers don't we?

Fans on a forum don’t choose the players you know.
-
Not like a Ferguson to talk :turd: just for effect is it. If Ferguson tried to sign him for us he must have been all of 18/19 at the time. Hmmm I smell bullsh**
-
Can we all agree the transfer activity so far this season is not good enough. So we can draw a line under it and move onto talking about how rubbish the food is.

It’s an exaggeration that the forum goes nuts just to make a point .
We have diverse supporters who have different ideas.

That's exactly how it looked to me, even without any insider knowledge, he looks to be trying to big-up his current employer

An exaggeration? Just look at some of the comments doing the rounds at the moment!!
