Mind you even if we did play 3 keepers im struggling to get horvath in!
It has a lot of people worried, the people who normally say 'if your (sic) good enough, your old (sic) enough' now say there are too many youngsters and are demanding experience.
I do find it hard to believe there aren't any out of contract players who can perform in League One, if fees are an issue. In theory, the further down the pyramid you go, the more players should meet your standard. I know BBM only wants the right players (fair enough) but it all feels a little 'off'.
Die the Rotherham manager know something we don’t?

Centre back. Played PL for Luton. Maybe played for BBM at Rochdale.
Centre back so maybe a replacement for Daaland.
Was a regular for Luton on their way up to the Premier League and then when they got there, a regular in Ligue 1 last season and he’s only 26 - too good for us surely?Quote:

Gabriel Osho on his way out?
Indeed, according to several sources, the player has reportedly announced his departure to the club …
A third-division club in England has allegedly made a bid of 1.5 million?
What should we make of this?
It doesn’t make sense as he apparently only had a one-year contract with Auxerre.Quote:

This ...we are not signing anything apart from a handshake deal from 2013 where FC copenhagen are allowed to sell us players that we can sell back at 75% less than what we paid(payed-for those in the US)Quote:

Surprisingly still only 24 and out of contract at the end of the season, so won't cost much in terms of loan fee (if that is what it is to be) or transfer fee. His wages (at least for the 1st season) could be an issue, but I doubt he is earning more at Rangers than Turnbull was at Celtic who we signed in the last 12 months of his contract - albeit when we were in the Championship. But Matondo's career is currently at a lower ebb that Turnbull's was at the time.Quote:

Turnbull was a very highly rated youngster in Scotland too when Celtic signed him, so probably on more than decent moneyQuote:

Osho played full game for Auxerre today. If the rumour that we are interested is true then there is obviously no agreement yet.
Agreed, on both accounts.Quote:

Agree 100%, there should ideally be a percentage of a sell on fee payable to the club the player has been poached from, I’ve noticed how many transfers of young players from premiership clubs contain a sell on fee for the club, they are raking it in from every angle.Quote:

A mate of mine who is a Boror fan says we're trying to get hold of Micah Hamilton on loan from Boro. An interesting one as he's worked with BBM at Man City and he's able to play in midfield or out wide.

Hamilton was left out of Boro's matchday squad for Saturday's Championship opener against Swansea, but Edwards insists the 21-year-old still has a future at the Riverside.
