Andy Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 14 minutes ago, LDRover said: Travis, as a player, isn't bad but isn't great either. The problem here is that he'll be a hell of a lot better than the pile of dung that replaces him. That's if we even do replace him. Jake Garrett will be Travis' replacement, if indeed he does leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If you believe the links it will be Isaac Hayden that will come to replace Travis … time will tell if that’s an improvement or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they don't need to go as well and they're probably on a fraction of Gallagher's wage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Muric, Zaoury and Benson seems available at our rival club. They were the reason they went up. All would walk in to our team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good win % when Gally plays. We've missed him. And he's very handsome, with great hair. There's no downside with Galligol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not building any depth in our squad. Playing a load of inexperienced young players is not working. We need layers so we can gradually bring these excellent kids on. We shouldn't be relying on them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1 hour ago, RevidgeBlue said: No it's a good idea - looks like the Club is going to do it therefore it has the Chadster seal of approval! With Broughton on the case it'll probably turn out about as well as flogging Kaminsky and virtually giving away Phillips to bring in Wahlstedt. Well losing him then replacing with another development player but from 2 leagues lower than Hills parent club fits right in the operation downgrade model. Lets hope this one works unlike the failing keeper experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him as a back up player in the early stages of his development as a first team squad member but able replacement for Travis at this moment in time he ain't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Toronto Mk2 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 3 hours ago, RoverCanada said: - I think something along these lines was mentioned earlier, but The Athletic is reporting that we've had two loan bids rejected for Orlando City striker Duncan McGuire, and are expected to be make a third loan bid (amid interest from FC Nantes, FC Utrecht, and RWD Molenbeek): https://theathletic.com/5177729/2024/01/04/mls-january-transfer-window/ (might be paywalled). 15 goals over 37 appearances in his rookie MLS season. - On O'Riordan's incoming, worth noting he's cup-tied for the FA Cup. May relate to the debate on holding on to Hill for one more weekend. Doubt we'd want to risk Hyam and presumably S. Wharton won't be ready. Perhaps time for Gamble... Such a shame that Barnes got hit with another long-term injury. - It's spread across L1/L2/Scottish Championship, but notable that O'Riordan's actually accumulated a decent amount of pro experience for his age: 76 league/cup appearances (+ a bit of non-league!) I saw McGuire play in October against Toronto FC, he looked the real deal all game. Scored a couple, including a screamer, and made Michael Bradley, who was marking him, look a complete clown. I’d be excited if this came off. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of the quality loanie we could get with that for next season. Except it'll probably be a third of that actually available so we'll still be in the same market we are in now.

RevidgeBlue Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hill must be on a fair old screw if the £500 k plus wages for the young CB from Crewe are covered by him being recalled by Bournemouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 7 hours ago, Sweaty Gussets said: If the Crewe guy is any good it's a good investment. There are questions mark over our recruitment though at that kind of price range as Leo and Telalovic have shown. If he's not yet ready (like the two mentioned) then we still need an experienced head at CB. Losing Hill on current form is no loss. We wanted him in the summer and we tried several times to sign him. This is someone we have clearly scouted for a while now. 6 hours ago, wilsdenrover said: If the system/style stays the same but the players selected are worse what will happen?

It’s all bundled up and paid monthly - so we will have been paying Bournemouth X per month (loan fee + wage contribution) and that stops from Jan 1st, releasing X as money spare in the budget which is covered by the fee agreed with the Indian Government.

Happy to 👍 In an ideal world it would be great to be able to seamlessly change one player for another (with no change of system) but Rover’s world is far from ideal. I don’t think our squad is strong enough to play the same way irrespective of which players are available. For example, I think only Wharton (A) and Sammie can fulfil the requirements of what JDT wants from their ‘roles’ on the pitch. I believe JDTs reluctance to be flexible with our style means there’s a bigger ‘drop off’ in the quality of our team (once players are missing) than is necessary. It’s obviously not his fault the squad isn’t more rounded but I think he bears some responsibility for not adjusting how we play to take account of who’s available to him. Put more succinctly… worse player(s) + same system = weaker team. Edited January 4 by wilsdenrover 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If Hill has been costing 10k pwk then that's a fair chunk to put towards the Crewe lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 2 minutes ago, roverandout said: He's not far off. It's better to stick a mannequin up there than Gallagher To be fair, he is probably right. Due to some of the dross Broughton's been signing recently we're probably no longer paying our top wage to "the worst" outfield player at the Club but "one of" the worst. That must make it all OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
