Aged 37 and couldn't even train between games but what a player! So you never know I suppose..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figures just don't seem plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figures just don't seem plausible. It could still happen, but with him being the only (proper) senior striker at the club, they'll want someone else through the door first. I'll be surprised if he doesn't go purely based on his wages but perhaps the Wharton sale will mean we keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't rule out anything both ways, but going all out now doesn't make sense, I agree. Selling Adam on the final day doesn't make sense either, don't understand why we're rushing the deal with him being on a long contract and with the money not going to be spent now anyway.

The figures just don't seem plausible. He rates Gallagher but he'd replaced Trav with Trons and they obviously decided on balance they didn't want a squad man on decent money. So it comes back down to cost cutting as Travis could serve the squad in other positions, provide cover and was a useful sub. If every player who sulked, fell out with the boss, got dropped was bombed out there'd be no one left. I'd stake my arse if he was on 3 grand a week he'd have been told to button it and get on with it because he was a handy experienced guy to keep about.

To quote Kevin Keegan "I'd luv it, absolutely luv it" if the deal fell through. But not if we were so desperate we accepted an even lower fee. Which we would!

neophox Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) McFadzean hasn't played since October but was a rock against us in their 1-0 win at home. Think he's here to help with three defenders out injured notably Carter. Surely a cheap option with a point to prove.

Rovers best option would be to extend his contract, we'd be very lucky to sign someone anywhere near to Gallagher's importance to the team for £2 million. The new forward may want paying as well.

Nothing better to do than make up things and then come up with excuses as to why he got them wrong. Usually ‘things have changed’ etc. Seems those tweets have now mysteriously disappeared !

Rover8T4 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Well Gregg if your reading this thread all I ask for is one thing. Please do not take the player/players out for a slap up meal until it's confirmed by the authorities! Not much to ask 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankfan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) So we’ve brought in a 37 year old in a 6 month deal, reloaned out Vale and have agreed but not finalized anything else? Edited January 31 by yankfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
