Could be a very good central defensive midfield signing.

Just hope they buy someone as sutton coalfield could put a bid in for Lionel Messi, doesn't mean you're gonna get him. I'll believe they've signed someone when he's holding the shirt up. Other than that, i'll just treat it as another rumour.

Would make a lot of sense with the Murphy connection. Perhaps we might see us playing the ball out of defence a bit more rather than chasing a long punt from Robinson.

Now, that would be refreshing.

Hi RU
For once I agree with you, an excelent signing WHEN he signs, until this happens I dont believe anything this lot say or do.

Did the chap finnaly come who they where trying to but in Portugal, Hmmmmm no, good for paper talk for a few days though Andy!

Will Rhodes come, Hmmmm I will put money on this one not happening.

These negative veiws (and they are negative) are taken due to being fed Bull sh!t from Kean and the Venkys for the last two years.

Having said all that I hope they do sign someone ANYONE.

This says to me that steve kean has no idea how to build a squad of his own making. Has seen etuhu playing well alongside murphy for fulham at times last season.

That said, etuhu would probably be fantastic for rovers, especially alongside murphy, i'll be there to cheer them on when kean has departed. half season ticket anyone??

would be perfect and give us some muscle and strength in midfield...something we have sadly lacked over the last few seasons.

Hi Lancs, its turning sour again. Its a good job Keanochio wants to keep the squad he assembled together. So we can hit the ground running. As you can see, we are short on experience now that we've sold it again. Its hard to keep up. They say one thing then do the opposite. Olssons not for sale will be the next u-turn. Or i expect kean to say Danny murphy is not part of his plans if someone slaps some money on the table. SOLD OUT.

We are obviously going to play like Spain next season all midfielders no forwards and keep the ball ! Dream on

What about an experienced defender and a proven goalscorer or is it down to Goodwillie- give him a decent run and dont treat him like you did with Kallinic

Ramshackle bunch of chancers "managed" by a clueless no-mark. We'll be lucky if we finish in the top half. Yet another season of 8ollocks and BS to come.

KEAN OUT FANS IN

I see a theme here. We already have Goodwillie, we have been after Cox and now we are in for Dickson.

I reckon we might name the riverside after one of our former strikers. The ne stand will be the Norman Bell End

Yes, it's where Alan Shearer's old striking partner does his mining.
