Signings confirmed

[Draytonian III]

He’s been here a while, wasn’t he seen wearing a Rovers tracksuit at the Stockport match

[Padge_DRFC]

O'Riordan won't play in either game not a chance. He played against Cardiff as though he's been told don't risk anything. We'll need to play Pearson until January with McGrath

[Dougiebulletheader]

Id drop Bailey in Defence..

[Smyth]

Id drop Bailey in Defence..

When Grant told Bailey to get in the box more he didn't mean the defensive one

[Fal]

Id drop Bailey in Defence..

Just because he was a good CB in League Two doesn't mean he will be good in League One...

[scawsby steve]

As I said in another thread, he's the best CB at the club IMO.

Well none of the others are at the moment, that's for sure.

Our best run and football came when bailey played at the back with Anderson,I would put him at the back tomorrow

[talksbollox]

I just hope we don’t continue with our age old strategy of signing small players. It’s obvious we lack height, strength, power and pace all over the pitch. I’m sure McCann has a policy of not signing anyone taller than himself.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Just an advert for not relying on loan players. Only good one isn’t playing because his club want him back.
 

Surely that’s a good advert? The bad loan players are going back, if we'd have bought them we'd be stuck.

Fair point. Do you know if the club have changed what they do re loans or lost some credibility as for a few years now we have far too many misses than hits. To the point where I’m not sure it’s worth it and would rather see a DRFC youth player given the chances.

Personally think we should have a policy of not signing loans who haven’t played a senior season.

If we are going to stay up, that has to start with us stiffening the defence.

I agree. Bailey is the best defender in the club. He has to be moved to centre half.

[donnievic]

Well I hope fans don’t start moaning at one of the signings possibly incoming as it would definitely be for the future if it is who I think and it happens

Bailey McCann

Bailey McCann

Is this something you’ve heard or making a prediction?

[BobG]

Now that, even if he is a worldbeater, would be a very, very dangerous thing indeed...

Almost every player he’s signed is taller than himself

[mushRTID]

I wonder if Joe Taylor could be on our list.

Huddersfield fans think he may possibly be on the move. Apparently didn’t get on the pitch even when winning 5-0 and out of favour.
I think Grant has managed him before.

Still has several years left on his 4.5 year deal. Would have to be a loan. Good record in the past, either way.

I’m just trying to console myself that we have some established and proven L1 players lined up to come and help us.
I’m probably miles off but it’s the kind of signing we need (x 3 or 4!)

Bailey McCann

Just social media rumours so probably nothing in it.

[DearneValleyRover]

Bailey McCann

I heard that a couple of months ago

I heard Lincoln were interested again... but he would be a good loan for us if we could attract him...

[Ryaldinhio]

There is a perfect example of where our problem lies.

Signed for Huddersfield 12m ago for a reported £3m fee......and cant get in their team. 7th in the league.

We cant compete with that level of spending and resource.

I will be happy with 20th place, notably we will lose a lot of games to be 20th. Im fine with that.

Seen him on highlights before and he looks electric.

But looking at his record it seems the way to get the best out of him is in a front 2, which we don’t play.

And at Lincoln, James Collins is out for the season so they’ll want another forward in. Taylor will also have a better working relationship with Skubala because he got the best out of him, whereas McCann barely played him at Posh. And they are 2nd in the league.

Millenic Alli is barely getting a look in at Luton and is exactly the kind of quick, goal scoring left winger our system needs. Ex-Halifax player, played with Jack Senior.

Fair comments

Iv just been looking at established players not making teams as I think that’s what we need, not more kids.

Alli was brilliant at Luton away, we struggled to handle him.

Been a big fan of Alli since his Halifax days. Agreed he'd be good for us. Middleton looked completely disinterested yesterday.

I dont think middleton has enjoyed any part of being down here and i can see him finding a move back upto scotland in January.

Unfortunatly he may of hoped to have been in a team fighting at the top end of the league and not the bottom

[graingrover]

By my reckoning if we were to sign Robinson from Derby it would have to be on a permanent deal . EFL only allow four loanees per season from English clubs and we have already had four .
So January loanees will necessarily have to be from non English clubs .

You can have no more than 4 loans from the same club
