Nice timing with his new contract currently being negotiated.

In the games I saw him he was solid enough defensively I agree but he seemed to panic when going forward. Ran past the halfway line, then turned around or at best passed sideways. Maybe that was more to do with what was in front of him..

Wouldn't be unhappy with this at all, if his form from last year continues he will struggle with the step-up to the Championship imo

This won't go down well on here. You're painting Venkys in a very positive light and failing to mention what they have done to the club. In the 'grand scheme of things' they have completely f8cked us.

You're right I missed the 'if' and hadn't seen they have a new owner - had a bit of a shocker in truth, apologies. I do think they'll struggle still, they just seem to do badly regardless if money is spent or they appoint a decent manager.

Sunderland are perennial losers with an owner that isn't interested and a dwindling fan base. The only thing they have over us is a bigger stadium which actually i'd argue isn't a positive when it will be 20% full most weeks.

Yes, and they went up second ?

Out of all of the loan players we have had this year Chapman would be the one for me, different gear.

Fair point. And actually with 1 year left on his contract maybe the price will be right as well.

But do we want to spend what little money we will have for transfers on a backup player?

That pr8ck. He's one of the worst. The last time he mentioned Rovers was when he declared "Venkys I'm coming to get you" on his sh*tty radio show just before chimp boy got potted. And did he do anything? Did he b&llocks.

Thanks Kamy. Hopefully this message is passed on by TM to Venkys when he meets them this summer - i.e invest now whilst you can as if we don't get back into the Premiership soon we may not get back in for some time. I would hope he will have their ear after promotion so it's the time to be bold I say..... Then again I have hoped for so many things from the @#/?ing lunatics.

Absolutely. The quote will have been taken out of context, someone somewhere not happy with Rovers having some good news for a change. Pr*cks.

Didn't we sign Samuel in the summer? Gotta love Big Tone, regardless of whether you think he's amazing, average or somewhere in between his heart is in the right place. Or at least he comes across like it is.

This.

Been watching for a while but feel compelled to post as we are on the verge of this club making a huge decision - sacking Kean or keeping him. I live down south, I have supported Rovers since I moved from the town at the age of 6, I am actually not a nun.
