GrahamC Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 They do this shit every year, don’t they? Some load of bulk signings (4 today) that no one has ever heard of pretty soon after the previous season ends, their fans start up the “we’re going places” stuff (you are, Sutton United) & some of our more intellectually challenged pipe up with “why haven’t we signed anyone”? Went well last year, didn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityal Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Looked into Sam Finley background - Rovers are his 8th Club (including loans) at the age of 28 Played for giants like - Southport, Warrington, AFC Fylde, The New Saints (<---watch the saggies roll out "Champions League experience" there, conveiniently failing to acknowledge it was probably in a complete spanking on aggregrate in the first qualifying round!) The wikipedia article on him makes no mention of a transfer fee (at any time) just lots of "released" and "free transfer" Oh and I found this - not the most reliable source, but from wikipedia: In April 2020, Finley picked up an 8 match ban as a result of an investigation around a comment made to Rochdale's former Irish international Paul McShane, during a League One fixture on New Year's day 2020, regarding McShane's nationality.

BS3City Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Never heard of him, so did a quick Google - hardly a stellar career by the look of it. Bit then again when you're fishing in the type of ponds the Sags are beggars can't be choosers. Is this the type of signing that'll start all that "coming for you" gumph again? Tossers...

Mattyisared Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 23 minutes ago, Banned User said: People said that last year too Tbf to the sags, I usually check their players based on forums of other clubs, from what I can remember the initial reactions from fans for their signings last season, in comparison to how they ended up playing, based on one or two sag mates was the following: Grant: Meh, better in midfield than defence. Seemed to fulfill that, couple shockers but generally just fine. Baldwin: Sunderland fans hated him basically, very error-prone, fulfilled that at the sags Ehmer: Rated highly by Gillingham fans, awful at the sags, lost his place in the team after being made captain (says a lot given how shite they were) Nicholson: Generally unknown. From all accounts the sags' best player last season. Ayunga: Goal record said it all beforehand and was apparently ass, which is to be expected when you sign a player who only 2 years beforehand scored something like 1 in 4 in the Conference. Westbrooke: Rated by Coventry, underperformed at Rovers but got better apparently Tutonda: Rated by Barnet, did well first couple games then Tisdale came in and basically never played again. Hanlan: Gillingham fans laughed their heads off, was awful apparently, and all my gas mates said he started off okay at best and then scored like 1 in his last 30 :laugh: Williams: Fine and played fine McCormick: Unknown, one of their best players it seems Oztumer: Rated by Walsall but not rated whatsoever by Bolton, played awfully Initial thoughts from fans of previous clubs on these 4 seem to be: Coutts: Rated highly Hughes: Rated highly but old Finley: Rated highly but very hot-headed Can't even remember and can't be bothered to look up the last one's name, but he started last season captain at Carlisle and ended it backup to a 20 year old. Apparently he's dog. The one to look out for, the rest seem fine. Coutts is a decent signing in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 In fairness to old Joey, on paper Coutts looks a good signing for L2 - wasn’t all that long ago he was regularly playing top of the Championship I don’t think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone been past there recently? It must be pretty much finished because there’s no way ‘such a nice man’ would lie to their fans ... is there?!
