Great news

Until I read that article I forgot that Federico Macheda was at Brum. 

I wonder what kind of reception he'll get from the rovers fans.

[Al4475]

Should be a decent one, I thought he did ok for us - particularly in his first spell!

[GazLaz]

Is it not a waste of money when we have Ross who is good enough?

[IDM]

But is Johnstone better at the moment?  He is playing well, and he has the shirt.

We probably need him to get 'a decent one' from one of our midfielders early on with the scoring form he's been in for them.

Which season? 

[Spud]

Great news. Ross is good, Sam has been pretty much faultless though.

I agree with you.  Johnstone looks too good to ever (well next season anyway) join us permenantly and I guess Ross isn't going to be overly chuffed at sitting on the bench which could affect his decision making in whether to stay next season especially when he was playing so well before getting injured.... unless he's already made that decision and that's why we aren't bothered about him sitting on the bench?

Conversely perhaps we're keeping Ross Turnbull out the spotlight to lessen the chance of people coming in for him in the summer.

You should look after your own. Ross is our own. I think Ross will play the last 5 games.

How can Dickov drop Johnson???? I do like the idea of having 2 first class keepers Turnbull will have 2 wait for his chance to get the shirt back yet another great loan sighing

[Sammy Chung was King]

We've wanted competition for the keepers slot,we've got it now,Sam has the shirt,he deserves it,we've got the best two keepers in the league.
