Iceman Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 fletcher would be a big ask, doubt he'd come here, dingle too, but I wouldn't hold that against him if he did come here (which he will not) as he'd be a top player at this levelThink if we gave Stokes a 3 year deal, we could have used that money on a 1 or 2 year deal for Fletcher to partner with Graham. But i dont know if we want a chance at promotion, when we waste so much money on just anybody who asks for a deal. Its scary to think how much money we have spent on so many players and agents, when we could have brought in a few quality players.

chaddyrovers Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/anthony-stokes-3145810.aspx All rosy in the garden then - and Owen was the catalyst!! Any more news on Graham/the loanee? Offer made to Graham. He is talking to other clubs about offers. Only time will tell where he will sign.

Him and Graham would be awful. For me, Fletcher is too slow now pace wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Graham would be awful. For me, Fletcher is too slow now pace wise Give Fletcher the ball, and tell him to put it into the back of the net. Thats all, he doesnt need pace. Can find him a pair of legs in midfield to run for him. Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_beam_me_up Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Whether Fletcher will sign or not is something I don't know. However if he lacks pace but can score goals surely a good manager comes up with a system to get the best out of his players. No reason why a forward line of Fletcher and Graham couldn't get you goals if you play to their strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover_Shaun Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 We don't need a striker. Remember? We were told once that rotten apple Rhodes was sold the rest of the team would flourish and crack in goal after goal after goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMonday Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If we end up with Stokes and not Graham, that will be bad business in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it turns out, they weren't and we've got a paper thin squad.... The money from the sale of Rhodes is this season's parachute payment which will be used to offset losses. I do wonder if this was one of the main reasons for Lambert leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustard Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah. It did, without spending any of it. I think our 'goals for' column would disagree with you there, den, but I for one can't be arsed with another Rhodes debate. Regardless of what we thought, the money wasn't invested (as me and plenty said would happen) and here we are. Not as if any of us had any bearing on JR leaving or Venky's pocketing the cash so no use arguing over it. Matt Derbyshire has joined Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia after turning down a new deal with Rotherham. Whilst I like Derbs, I don't think he's a good enough signing for any Championship team with hopes beyond fighting a relegation battle so I'm not bothered we've missed out. He's made a good decision though. Poor quality league, decent money, great weather and ultimately no pressure. Enjoy yourself Matty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Don't know If true but he didn't want to come back to be 3rd or 4th choice , which is understandable , but it reality if we did get Graham along with Stokes and maybe a no.10 type forward I couldn't see Derbyshire being anything else How is that us missing out though? ooooooh you are awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnermeat Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 It was honestly a genuine query, as it was said in context as one of the striker Coyle was after, I thought maybe I had missed something that's all. But yes, in my opinion we are not missing out at all, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If that's the best he could do, probably a good thing we didn't sign him. Although he's a local lad he hasn't got the quality. Would have been ok as a squadie but strikes me as the type that would want to play at this stage of his career. No loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
