Have a look on Rumours, it came from a journo at Preston, I believe.

either way the boyle's burst some journalist called Lance   

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well, let's hope these leeks are boyled and we come up with something very tasty! 😉

[Drover]

Bit worrying that information is starting to leak out the club again. He'd be a good signing though.

Given the short time to get something sorted and the desperate position we have unexpectedly found ourselfs in,we have probably been in no position to be stealthy with our enquiries before the deadline.Im not that surprised to see it's possible a bit of info is getting out.

[Bezza]

loan done for Boyle lets hope another one to come.

[glosterred]

Is Fergie having his day in court today? If he is I wonder if this will affect when he signs, if he signs or whether there is anyone else lined up to come in.

It’s on Twitter
Doncaster Rovers have completed the loan signing of defender Andy Boyle until the end of the 2017/18 campaign.

The 26-year-old arrives from Sky Bet Championship side Preston North End, having made 12 appearances for the Lillywhites since joining them in January 2017.

The Republic of Ireland international is ready to go straight into Darren Ferguson's plans for the game against Portsmouth this weekend.

Boyle said: "I'm really looking forward to coming here and getting some game time, I want to play as many games as possible and try to climb higher in the table.

"I'm fit and ready and if the manager picks me, it makes it easier that we've got a game coming up straight away and it's a big game to have as my debut."

Is it on twitter yet? 😀

Welcome Andy! Just don't do anything too energetic or strenuous before Saturday please! 😉

[Alan Southstand]

And just by way of a bit of icing:

Doncaster Rovers will confirm the signing of a Premier League defender on Wednesday, we understand.

The centre half trained with the club yesterday alongside fellow new loanee Andy Boyle, whose switch from Preston North End was confirmed on Tuesday evening.

And both will be in the squad for Saturday’s trip to Portsmouth.

Looks likely to be a young kid then.

[Jonathan]

Burnley are in the Premier League. And the player that has been linked from there is not a kid.

[Alan Southstand]

I would say he's a very good age and gives us some height.

[Jonathan]

Agreed. Come through a good youth set up and racked up a decent amount of experience in loan spells. Ready to go straight into the team.

We’ve reacted well in a difficult situation bringing in two defenders that have decent career experience.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Very encouraging. I'll get my Rotherham tickets with a bit more confidence now!

Can’t argue with that, hopefully they will slot in well.

Am I the only one not too enthused with either signing? I’ve compiled as many reports and references about them both as I can and I’m not getting my hopes up.

[Alan Southstand]

Gaz, when you're starting from 0, the only way is up, my friend. I've read a few comments about our yet to be announced newcomer, but goals are being conceded from set pieces all too frequently, so hopefully they may well stem that particular tide. Then, 4-5 weeks later, we have (maybe) Butler and Wright back.

As a football supporter would you ever get your hopes up?

I’m not sure what your expectations are / were. But we’ve gone out and quickly brought in two players that have considerable experience.

[Alan Southstand]

Not yet, Jon. You're in danger of breaching the official secrets act!

I know nothing other than what the Free Press has made abundantly clear.

Very true. Wright and Butler have both been very good this season, I see it as pretty unlikely that these two will end up being at the same level. I hope I’m wrong. Luke coming back to fitness could be massive for us, infact he could be the one that ends up steadying the ship after a rocky period.
