I know this is a bit of an exception, but at 21, the Premier League's Golden Boot winner was playing for Stocksbridge Park Steels. He joined Halifax Town at 23 for £15,000.

I'd forgotten the Berg situation. Rangers ended up signing Berg to replace Amoruso as well. We definitely got the worst end of that deal. Maybe I was being a bit generous on him as well.

I'd agree with that. I'd say I've been lucky enough to see two 'best in their position in the World players' in my time watching Rovers. Shearer and Duff. I'd say Friedel was probably in the top 3 keepers in the World at his peak as well.

At least Darlow has played some football though. 6 first team games this season. Seemingly Elliot hasn't played a first team game since December 2017.

Most goals in the league by far, if you exclude Hull, who have conceded more ? And why should we score a bag full? They've conceded 2 in their last 4 and have conceded 1 or fewer in 8 of their last 9 games. They've got everything to play for an we've got nothing to play for.

Good shout this one.

Not sure if you've seen many our players play before, but you'd be surprised ?

I always remember thinking the oddest Rangers/Souness deal was Jean-Alain Boumsong. Signed for Rangers on a free whilst Souness was Rovers manager - and we seemingly showed no interest. A few months later - Souness is at Newcastle and pays £8m for him.

With Lenihan: W15 D10 L12 Without Lenihan: W2 D2 L6 Some other interesting ones: With Bennett: W9 D5 L16 Without Bennett: W8 D7 L2 With Nyambe: W11 D10 L9 Without Nyambe: W6 D2 L9 With Bradley Johnson: W7 D6 L11 Without Bradley Johnson: W10 D6 L7 With Holtby: W6 D4 L4 Without Holtby: W11 D8 L14

Just had a look and we got 22.5m for Dunn and Duff that summer (I'd forgotten they both left the same summer). Brought in: Emerton 2.5m - Great success Amoruso 1.4m - Did OK Reid 2.5m - Good signing eventually Gresko 1.2m - Did OK Yeldell FREE - Was never intended as a first team signing and proved as much Ferguson 7.5m - Flop So in summary, we would have been better keeping hold of Dunn and Duff.

Money not woman ???

I'm sure at the time I remember hearing Duff wanted us to match the wages Chelsea were offering and he would have stayed, but Souness wanted the woman to strengthen the squad.

I personally think it's time to roll the dice and change manager - we're going to stagnate in the middle of the Championship and continuing to lose money under Tony. However, a lot of people blame him for the signings of Brereton and Gallagher. Did he actually choose these players and negotiate the fee? I certainly don't think he will have negotiated the fee and I even question whether he selected the players. I know for a fact that Waggot was bemused as to why the signing of Gallagher didn't shift season tickets (this has come from within the club), as an expensive striker returning to the club. Maybe he was more involved in selecting transfer targets, I don't know. My biggest problem with Tony is his overly cautious approach. When we go for it and select a more bold team, we seem to get better results. He also has his favourites like Bennett and is quite happy to pick on the younger players (see Raya/Nyambe, even Brereton recently). Plus his liking for a striker on the wing is mystifying.

They've only won 1 of their last 3.

I put BBC sport on and saw it was Wigan 7 Hull 0 at half time and I genuinely thought I'd missed the Rugby season restarting until I read it properly.

You could get close to a stand that size, even with the river (looking at google earth). The front of the stand would obviously be much closer to the pitch than the current stand, just like on the opposite side. There may be limited room behind the stand for the turnstiles, but you could potentially have these underneath the stand like at Old Trafford. Old Trafford also goes very close to a river in one corner. Though for the record I don't know why we would increase the stadium capacity when we don't get near filling it currently.

Berkovic played 11 games for us, compared to Beckham playing 5 for them. Maybe the Baggio Bar would be a better shout. Although he did play 9 games for us, so maybe too many ?

Brereton's at 100 club appearances now in his career - with 10 goals (2 penalties). 54 of them were starts as well. 4 of his goals have come in the 89th minute or later. Maybe he's just one to bring off the bench with a couple of minutes to go.

Wow! That makes me feel old!!!!

Just noticed that Ben has now made 100 club career appearances - scoring 10 times. 54 of those were starts as well before anyone suggest they are mainly sub appearances. ?

I wouldn't go for Gerrard, but Mowbray's record at Celtic was poor. Mowbray P45 W23 D9 L13 Gerrard P113 W68 D27 L18 So Gerrard has a 60.2% win percentage vs Mowbray with 51.1% at Celtic. Mowbray lost 28.9% of his games with Celtic, which is pretty alarming in a country with only 2 decent teams.

4th October?

I wouldn't call 1 win in 5 games against Rovers the hex sign.

Has it been confirmed as a player?

I'd bought a Barcelona top before the game and went outside the players entrance after the game to try and get some players to sign it. All their players just got straight on the coach and didn't stop at all to interact with the fans - apart from one - Marc Overmars. He stopped and got his match shirt out of his bag and gave it to a little kid in front of me. Class act.
