Morgan Whittaker, Finn Azaz and Terry Taylor all mentioned as likely signing for us this coming week. What is interesting is that we’ve not really been linked to anyone who has Championship experience.
Still think we need a RCB, 3 CAMs, 2 ST and at least one more CDM.
Apparently us and Preston are looking at Tommy Leigh from Accrington. Doesn’t exactly excite me to much and I’m sure the Preston lads would say the same but we seem to like signing players who have done well at a lower level. Finn Azaz on loan, and Tyriek Wright / Saxon Earley being 3 examples...
Now apparently in for Lewis Warrington also from Everton. Spent last season on loan at Fleetwood. Most likely a loan I’d imagine. Making use of our DOF Neil Dewsnip’s Everton connections.
Lewis Gibson has supposedly signed. Left footed Everton centre back. Looks like he was pictured with his Missus here last week I think it was. Seems it’ll be a permanent rather than a loan.
Where’s that come from?
He’s unproven really. Nice lad, tries really hard but wasn’t really used last season after he signed in January. Did bag a massive goal away at Morecambe and looked impressive against Bristol Rovers in the pizza trophy.
Personally I think he could do with a loan to a...
Rovers fans, looks like whilst you get one of our centre backs from last season, we get one of yours this season.
It would appear Lewis Gibson was at HP this morning, what’s he like?
We’ve supposedly had a couple bids rejected for a lad from the A League. Our recruitment so far for the most part seems to be looking at players further afield - outside of the UK. Which is no bad thing given we’ll likely have the smallest budget in the League.
Also linked with Josh Key from...
Grant is an interesting one. He’s never really impressed me in midfield but he’s a solid wingback for L1. Not got bundles of energy or pace but he’s got a very nice left foot.
It really doesn’t surprise me Ryan Lowe is signing one of his mates. We were linked to Ben Woodburn so I wasn’t surprised he ended up with you. We were also linked to scouser Bobby Duncan & any young player from Rangers when Gerrard was there.
Doesn’t half try and make sure his fellow...
Yep. Injured pretty much all of last season. Decent player in L1 when fit and given a run of games but not sure he’d be able to step up to the Championship. He had 2 seasons here where he was fit and 3 where he had injuries which limited his playing time.
Signed Julio Pleguezuelo from FC Twente. Looks a good signing on paper. Last game for them he scored when they beat Ajax. Finished 5th in Eredivise the season just gone.
Budget doesn’t really matter in this league as long as its semi-competitive. Have a good tactical manager and a squad all pulling in the same direction, with a supportive fan base and there’s no reason why you can’t be right up there.
For what’s it worth though, I do think teams who sign a...
I think Doncaster’s transfer business looks solid because it’s so early in the window and there’s nobody else to really compare it to. Joe Ironside will be a good signing though.
Decent player. I think we may have offered him reduced terms or a year when he wanted longer.
Old school defender. Personally I always felt he was a bit limited to play the way we want to but he’s steady and will always put in a good shift. Didn’t fancy him up against Championship strikers but...
He must of improved because season before last he was shite for us on his loan from January until the end of the season. He had been at Swindon and came with good reviews but just wasn’t good enough.
