Roverthechimp Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 My money is on Evans leaving if cash is needed - Lenihan if we absolutely have to bring in a läger sum (though i'm not sure if anyone would pay a big chunk for him tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not pretend they were going to, we don't spend in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Best thing about Souness is that he immediately identified the dross and shipped them out. There was no settling for second best. Granted, we haven’t got the likes of Dunn, Duff and Jansen to build around but he also recruited well. Hignett, Berg, Friedel, Berkovic, Curtis, none of them broke the bank. Apples and oranges, I suppose. Souness was under no illusion as to the job expected of him. Jack wanted Rovers back where they belonged. Now we’re reduced to a yearly agenda item at a meeting half a world away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has purple patches of form which inevitably fade away as he re-establishes himself in the team, gets injured or the international period ends. Even Mowbray said he has to keep Evans on the bench to motivate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Pete O'Rourke from sky linking us to a Gillingham defender, think he's usually been quite reliable in the past for Rovers news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with both comments but can't think of anyone else (as said, maybe Lenihan) who would be worth anything. At a stretch - Williams for 1m to a top L1 / lower championship team?

Well the fact that Tony's only way of motivating a player is to bench him says more about his managerial skills than Evans' attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simongarnerisgod Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 rovers supposedly interested in gillingham left back connor ogilvie,the right place to reinforce imo,i hope tony isn`t tracking the interest in big dundee utd striker lawrence shankland,3 or 4 clubs quite keen,you know what happens when tony gets the sniff of a striker?

stinny1 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What a shambles the club as become where 3 points off the play offs and where talking about players being sold . If the Venkys are serious about Rovers get some players in and lets have a go . Because if they don't it will say alot about Venkys ambition. They are the ones who fooked it up not the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irony with Souness is the cheaper signings were better though he had the advantage of working with Friedel/Tugay earlier. The more expensive ones were the flops besides Cole. To be fair most people thought Ferguson would be a success. Grabbi's signing was questionable especially given we know now that Souness basically did it on evidence of a video. Same with Hughes (elsewhere obviously) who wasted big money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno but at 29 Smallwood needs to accept he may need to take a pay cut if he wants to play football instead of just festering his career away. Cracking league one player.
