Not stellar, but strikes me as a Craig Short type of steady, strong, unspectacular defender. Good shout but probably unrealistic. I thought Micheal Morrison from Birmingham might fit the bill here.

Villa got Mings and Tuanzebe on loan last season!? We need defender who are better than what we’ve got and an experienced keeper who is better than Raya right now. None of these should price too difficult to achieve before the window shuts. I don’t care whether we spend £10m, loan them or get them on a free. The spend is largely irrelevant because none of us foot the bill. The only thing that matters is we get the players above. Ive given up arguing with people on here. I cannot relate at all with those who talk about relegation etc. The same people banging on about Brentford who are basically whoring out every single asset they have and with supposedly the perfect business model bought David Raya - a keeper who we’ve all watched for two seasons and know unequivocally isn’t great. Bad day at the office chief ? Relax crack open a fizzy brew then chill and comeback to hail the signing of the new Shearer -right wing version - and all will be well. Shouldn't you be the one urging calm ? Link to post Share on other sites

Another fair shout. Haven't they just released Harlee Dean? He might be fairly good, I recall he was solid for Brentford, and don't think he's 30 yet. I just hope the reason we haven't got defenders in yet is because we are haggling wages on quality ones, and good at keeping them under wraps. Hope being the key word ofc.

Still plenty of time. Bristol City, Brentford, Forest, Stoke & Millwall. But how many of those other clubs have released their back up CBs, signed no defenders and ended up in February with no fit CBs at the club? Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Mani 3274 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 PNE about to re-sign David Nugent after selling Robinson. What happened to their amazingly innovative young manager... I reckon we’re on for a window like...Downing, Johnson, Gallagher, Tuanzebe and Hart / Ruddy without selling any of our star players.

Roverinbelfast 325 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Gallacher is another good signing, serious competition for places. Will hopefully give big Ben a rocket up his ass if he wants to have a career here. I'd almost bet that Hanley will be in a rovers shirt come the start of the season. McGovern form Norwich would be a decent addition for a free transfer. Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at that I’d take that. 5 million for Gallagher is way too much but if it doesn’t stop us bringing in a decent centre half and goalkeeper then so be it. Ruddy and Tuanzebe would be unreal signings. More chance of Ruddy than Tuanzebe though for me. Edited July 12, 2019 by Butty Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I imagine he'll end up back at Villa. Possibly a loan to buy deal depending on whether they survive this season or not. Might be out of our league in terms of loan fee/wage as well to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
Gary C 341 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Danny's hold up play is great and Rovers play to.his strengths. If we can have a system with Dack and Rothwell pulling the strings we could have Armstrong upfront. Got some ok strikers playing out of position. We have enough midfielders now to play there Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how things turn out I remember thinking yeah decent signing then watched him and thought he's shite far too slow but he didn't half turn out to be a good player for us just took him a bit to settle in but he had the right character for it obviously. Be really nice if a few from this window turned out to really pleasantly surprise us because it recent years that hasn't really been the case.

1864roverite 2621 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 People might choke on their words when Gally Brereton and Graham plus Dack are banging goals in . It’s an attack line with decent supply options unlike for many a year. A midfield full of defensive minded as well as creativity will excel just need a decent hard no frills CB and a keeper job done Link to post Share on other sites

He just signed a new deal with United so they won't be selling him.Villa have signed 3 centre backs already this summer and have agreed a fee for a fourth so don't think they will be in the market to take him on loan again Link to post Share on other sites
