philipl Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Very much doubt we will see Ryan in a Rovers shirt again. On Saturday, Nigeria face Algeria- the only two countries with a 100% win record at AFCON. If Nigeria win that, they will be hot favourites to win the Trophy on Sunday 18th. Hopefully that gives enough time for Ryan to pass his Everton medical and for Rovers to use some of the proceeds in this window. Quote

There was one article saying Everton have an interest in Alebiosu and that makes you think he has gone? Moyes has said Everton are unlikely to be signing anyone this January. I don't think they will sell Alebiosu this window, and not at the 4 million suggested.He be gone in the summer Quote

I watched that game Phillip. He played every minute. There was no sign of a “ deep gash”, no blood soaked sock etc. Maybe he slipped in the showers ! Quote

Not sure how much of the last four years you've missed but Rovers do not reinvest money received from transfers. 5 Quote

Strength right through the spine - Bassey, Iwobi, Oshiem. I like the look of the left back as well, the lad Bruno. A good no nonsense fullback who can attack if need be. The right back had a good game as well. Barring injury I can’t see our boy getting another game Quote

Barring injury I can’t see our boy getting another game The right back is Osayi-Samuel from Birmingham who the Nigerian fans don't seem to rate (who like Alebiosu is only in the squad because of injuries to Aina at Forrest and someone else) After Alebiosus game in the group stage, there seemed to be noises about him taking Osayi-Samuels spot in the team for the rest of the tournament, however Alebiosus injury seems to have put an end to that.

Osayi-Samuel had a good game today. He’s not as dynamic in attack as Alebiosu but he’s very steady in defence. Not a lot to choose between them to be honest. However I can’t see them changing a winning team, barring injuries. Quote
roversfan99 Posted Wednesday at 18:59 Posted Wednesday at 18:59 And still isnt involved with the squad tonight. Quote
Kjell Posted Wednesday at 19:13 Posted Wednesday at 19:13 But when he eventually returns, it will be like a new signing! Quote
Backroom Tom Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Backroom Posted Wednesday at 22:48 Damn they lost on penalties 😞 third place play off it is Quote

KentExile Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago He is fit enough for the bench today, which is probably good news for Rovers as he should be fit next weekend Quote
sharpysharps86 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago He will be a very welcome face to see on his return. TGH at RWB simply can't happen again once Alebiosu returns. 1 Quote
Rochdale_rover Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Any chance he can be back in time and play tuesday Quote
