Tyrone Shoelaces

I think might be the fee with several add ons - such as when he plays in a World Cup winning side for England etc. £8 to £10 million is what is being rumoured on some sites.

Sounds like they’ve brought the Chicken Chokers in to run the show.

Yes I think you’re right. Lots of potential but still has a daft mistake in him. It’s a position you want experience in for a promotion battle. Like Berg and Short.

Yeah but wasn’t it great when the goals were flying in ? And McEvoy, two 4 goal performances and then three hat tricks and Fred Pickering, three hat tricks, that’s in the 63-64 alone. When did we last have two players in the same team both as prolific as that ? Anybody ask me which was Rovers best ever team ? That team.

Before the last woman's World Cup the English centre forward was running all over the place but hardly scoring any goals. Neville took her to one side and said “ Imagine two lines down the pitch parallel to the edge of the 6 yard box. When we have the ball in their half I don’t want to see you outside of that zone at any time “. After that she couldn’t stop scoring.

How things change. I remember when the dingles got to the cup final in 1962 all 5 forwards ( yes 5 ) had scored over 15 goals each ! That was when teams usually had more or less the same 11 playing for all the 90 minutes of every game. Defenders didn’t normally get more than a goal or two between them then. No wonder they got fed up with Dycheball.

I had a row with somebody on here about his lack of heading ability when we signed him the second time. For a big guy he’s pretty poor at making contested headers. Unopposed, he’s not too bad. Same goes for Brererton.

The Chokers will be thrilled to hear that !

Just make sure it goes in the right bank account matey.

If Dolan left and he was replaced with Harry Kane permanently I wouldn’t complain at all and it’s just as likely to happen. Just my opinion of course.

Of course it’s too early to say who’s going to do well or otherwise. We’ll know more after half a dozen games.

Forest were one of the clubs reputedly interested in Dolan. Now if you think the manager there doesn’t know a good player from a bad ‘un I beg to differ.

If you’re looking at it like that Bryan Douglas “ couldn’t run “ either. There’s the players who are quick over ten yards like Dougie, and that’s all he needed. The ball would be gone or he’d just beat the next man. Then there are those who are fast over forty to fifty yards like Donis. There aren’t many who could do both , Craig Bellamy is probably one of a few that springs to mind.

He’s another one who thought he had made at 20. Fancy sports cars etc. For every one who eventually gets it and pulls their career around there’s half a dozen who blow their careers. He had a chance to reset with the move to Bournemouth, what did he do there ? I wouldn’t go near him to be honest, especially if it means throwing our “ war chest “ at him.

If Dolan is that poor why are teams higher up the food chain the Rovers interested in him ?

How is it he couldn’t do that ? He’s been involved in pro football for long enough.

Yes, I wouldn’t want to put all our financial eggs in one basket. Especially one like Cantwell.

We’ve more chance of signing Noel Cantwell and he’s dead.

It’s from a free kick. I presume that’s the wall.

Hedges, the lad from Spurs and Brown.

I was going to write a list of championship/lower prem clubs that have been quoted as being interested in him.Then it occurred to me that it would be quicker to write a list of clubs that aren’t interested.

Another David Bentley, only not as good.

Yes I agree. We don’t want any show ponies. He’s done nothing at Bournemouth.

Yeah, I’ve no axe to grind with him. Whatever other failings he had, giving 100% wasn’t one of them.

Just asking but where do you think his best position was ? I think he proved it wasn’t right wing.
