OldEwoodBlue Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Morning Steve, any news on hiring a new head of recruitment? I don't know Tony, you will need to ask the person recruiting. Who is that ? I guess the head of recruitment. Didn't he leave Steve? I don't know Tony, the communication is terrible around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just a left back in there and let him defend first and foremost, then leave him be if he's playing ok. Douglas looked a good signing on paper and most were pleased with it but in the flesh not so good. Never looked like he settled here and was obviously on the wane ability wise. For me just another get him for the sake of it signing with not enough thought into whether he'd do the job defensively. Like Bell more emphasis on what they want from him going forward. Douglas was crap.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophox Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Think we are after Johansen who was one of the best players in the champ last season at QPR. Also think Reach and Harwood Bellis will end up at Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not a very good one Not for me. About the same.

I never remember Bell having 1 consistently good game or contributing anything of note. Can't stop crosses. You could see Douglas had good technique and a decent delivery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he calmed down on that front, started being more effective in the final third and had a few reasonable games. So yeh we will have to just disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan99 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Bournemouth have made a very good signing in Emiliano Marcondes who scored in the play off final. Meanwhile we, well still havent clarified the extent and timescales on the transfer embargo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
