Who Are Rovers? Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi all, seeing that we have signed 4 players, and with the departure of Kelly, needing to sign possibly 4 more, do any of you think we are going down the same road as last season, where we sign quality players, but it takes them at least half the season to gel into a quality team? Just wanted to get your thoughts on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 No. The majority of players we signed last summer were POTENTIALLY good youngsters. Everyone we have signed this summer are proven quality at this level. I actually can't believe what's going on - it is superb transfer business!

Super Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 No. They all have experience of League one plus Elliott won't need any time as he was here last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Are Rovers? Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 A must is to keep all the players we have now, I wouldn't want any of them to go out of the door, as it could put us back to square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Still a centre back, striker and GK needed. But these transfers seem excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNBT Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 No not at all, last season we brought in promising youngsters & far to late. We're getting established decent players that will have plenty time to all gel before the season starts. Personally think it's looking very promising for a serious promotion push hopefully the title :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I would love to know what the likes of Sheffield United are thinking about our activity this week. Of course it's yet to be seen how it all works out, but these signings are all top drawer at this level and must be sending out a real message of intent. Not only to our rivals, but also our player that we want to keep ala Baldock & JET. They must be impressed by our ambition and hopefully it will keep them wanting to be a part of it long term.

Wanderingred Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I dont buy the old "time to gel" cliche. Theres pre season for all that and Its so often used as an excuse for inbalanced teams or poor managers that cant get results. (SOD cough cough) Lets leave gel to hairstylists, these are professional footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JammyOne Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 My thoughts are that if we are to chase for promotion we need to be signing a lot better quality than Elliot, Smith and Little. Freeman on the other hand has a lot of potential for sure, but remember he was a starlet in a team that struggled and was relegated. My worry that is that it is the fans will go down the same road as last season; believing we're going to get promoted when really we have a current squad that will hit mid-table.

I don't remember too many on here talking of promotion. Most were looking for mid table with glimpses of excellence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKAMH Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm an eternal pessimist, but with the signings we've made so far, and the the players we already have in (Baldock, JET, et al) I think top 2 is a serious possibility. Our transfer activity has not gone unnoticed by the other bigger clubs in this division. We've made a statement of intent. If SC has the nouse to turn this huge potential into a side then everyone will be looking up at us. There. Can't get much more positive than that.
