chaddyrovers Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 From Alan Nixon Blackburn Rovers. Talking up Tommy Spurr a lot. Think a proper offer would get Markus Olsson very shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What's happening with Olsson? Would be a ,massive boost if we could get a decent fee in for him. The Great Train Robbery all over again. Edit: Chaddy beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Even if it is low, would probably cover part of a fee for a league 1 or 2 player, if not all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Personally, if we got a decent offer for anyone (ANYONE) and PL thought we could still remain competitive and consolidate I would be tempted to let them go. Not one of them is top drawer even in the Championship. Granted, I'd prefer not to lose Hanley and Duffy who have formed a solid CB partnership. I'd also prefer not to lose Rhodes and I like Conway...but the rest? Meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving aside the promising youngsters like Lenihan, Mahoney and Tomlinson I'd only be looking to keep Raya, Duffy Hanley Akpan, Conway Rhodes. Edit: Presumably Bennett will be figuring prominently in PL's plans as well so he won't be going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Olsson is now a difficult one. Presumably he's either not prepared to sign a new deal or Lambert isn't offering him one, otherwise it would have been done by now like Conway's was and he wouldn't have been dropped last night for Tommy Spurr (Isn't he himself out of contract in the summer?), and Derby wouldn't have come in with a bid. If Olsson isn't signing on long term then he needs selling now for whatever we can get for him. If he's had his head turned by them then its very disappointing. I would have expected more loyalty from a player who has played regularly for us over the last 2 seasons. He owes us for resurrecting his career from a borderline reserve team player 2 years ago. In any event, he's not good enough for the Premier League and probably not good enough to be a starter for Derby. So if he fancies sitting on their bench if they go up then that's his choice. I'd be disappointed if he went. Partly because I believe left back is a position we don't need to address urgently, unlike other areas of the team in desperate need of major strengthening. If he's not agreeable to a new contract that we have offered to him then that is a worry, as he either isn't being offered very much or he doesn't fancy being here under a manager that is tasked with getting us geared for promotion. Like Rhodes, Olsson is a half decent player who we should not be wanting to leave. The job of rebuilding this team is difficult enough without creating another hole to fill.

jim mk2 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 . I would have expected more loyalty from a player who has played regularly for us over the last 2 seasons. He owes us for resurrecting his career from a borderline reserve team player 2 years ago. Like Rhodes, Olsson is a half decent player who we should not be wanting to leave. The job of rebuilding this team is difficult enough without creating another hole to fill. I agree. Olsson isn't a world beater but he's not bad at this level and we don't really want to lose him. Expecting a player to show "loyalty" is a bit naive though. There's no loyalty in football - only money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverMinion Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Lawrence is a waster, absolute pitiful last night, send him back and get a proper footballer in If we could bring in a Bamford in his place. It would be a no-brainer surely? QPR in for Crouch, we should be throwing our names in the hat there for sure. They will probably get him but surely we've got to be throwing our hat in the ring. I sometimes think people forget we have just gotten out of an embargo. QPR have that "free reign" to sign whoever they like for whatever wages they like. FFP doesn't seem to hit them. If we signed Crouch, it would be the one-way train to embargo city in the Summer surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I would have thought Charlie Austin will be off for big money soon. That means 1) they'll have money to spend 2) they'll need a direct replacement. I'm not sure Crouch would be the answer for us. He's not much quicker than Rhodes. Ok he can hold the ball up but he's a 6' 3" guy that jumps about 6' 0". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If Olsson isn't signing a new deal we need to ship him out and give Spurr a fair crack at earning a new deal, also let the U21 left back step up. Foolish to only give Olsson (player of the season) a 12 month extension when he had clearly proven his worth. He'll probably get a 3yr deal at Derby, so we can't be bitter towards him.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hes out of contract end of seasonRight, I didn't know that. No big fee then but they'll still need a replacement. If Olsson isn't signing a new deal we need to ship him out and give Spurr a fair crack at earning a new deal, also let the U21 left back step up. Foolish to only give Olsson (player of the season) a 12 month extension when he had clearly proven his worth. He'll probably get a 3yr deal at Derby, so we can't be bitter towards him. He'll be a loss but he's not the next Keith Newton, he's not even the next John Bailey. He's replaceable. Midfield is the worry for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If we signed Crouch, it would be the one-way train to embargo city in the Summer surely? If it was initially a loan then I don't think it would. Lawrence has had his head turned by his advisors that's his problem Obviously think he's better than he actually is, could end up being a decent player in a few years time when he stops believing his own hype.

West Yorks Rover Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 IMO Crouch would score for fun in this league, but he only signed for Stoke because they offered him a massive wage. No chance of him coming here really, BS might fancy him at Sunderland though, could work well with the little guy up there. BTW isn't he about 6ft 7ins ?

Iceman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If McGeady joined, then can see Marshall leaving. I also think it could be over for Olsson as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
