Some of these players may already have found new clubs and if they have apologise. Like I say these have been mentioned on various other websites. Just thought whilst its quiet it may provide a few talking points. Anyone else heard any rumours?

 

[bigmart]

Cody McDonald would be good if we could get him on a seasons loan, ive heard various mentions that we are signing Danny Holmes we will need a keeper if the rumours of Warner leaving are true.

 

[The Bootle Rover]

Warner will stay

Tony is fine at Tranmere.

He's moved back to Liverpool, bought a house near The Phil and is spending his time money and efforts doing it up. He is in tremendous shape and will be spot on for the new season. I'm sure he will prove to be the best keeper in the division by far.

I hope he extends his career by a good 4 seasons or more.

 

[SonkORLY?]

warner is a twat, half-decent keeper, don't really care if he stays or goes




lol, koumas

 

[Sparky]

No chance of signing Koumas. I'll keep dreaming tho !

Warner apart from some dodgy kicks, is a top quality keeper at this level and we need to sign him up so we have a decent spine with him, Goodi, Welsh, Enoch etc

 

[bigmart]

A rumour doing the rounds is that Shrewsbury have offered him more money & if he did go there he wanted have to move house so it could be possible.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

I'd like to see Lateef back next season. He had the right attitude and is young enough to develop into a good player.

 

[Ian]

I heard Warner wanted to move on..
Yeah, would like to see Lateef back.

Forget Koumas, he's too lazy.

 

[CanCan]

Koumas is in talks with Sheffield Wednesday

 

[Sparky]

Yeah Lateef did really well. 5 goals I think in 17 ish games. Sign him up.

Reuben Hazell is available. Has always impressed on his return to PP plus plenty of experience and was Oldhams club captain.

But they made him 2 offers, the 2nd an increase in wages - so cant see him being attracted by our wages of £100 a week plus a box of mars bars

 

[bigmart]

warner has gone

 

[Ian]

Yup. Well, we need an experienced keeper between the sticks as currently we have two young lads. Was Nixon any good at the masters?

Shay Logan is also available. If we can afford him, I'd say he would be a better bet.

 

[TRFC_Ian]

Eric made Barnes look slim(ish)!

 

[Boz]

Warner's departure coupled with Les' decision to release Collister means we need to sought the goalkeeping situation as a priority. I thought Warner got most things right after a shaky start and commanded his area well. Overall him going leaves me concerned rather than devastated.

If Michael Kay and Danny Holmes are signing, we hardly need Hazell or Logan as well.

Agree


F**k Danny Holmes as well. If he's been released by TNS, who didn't even win the Welsh Prem last year, then what use is he to us? Surely we can do better. Hazell would be a top signing if Mark Mac leaves, although would likely command a larger salary. Otherwise, as Boz alludes, other positions probably require greater attention.

Logan has experience right and left mid, but not sure he'd drop as low as TRFC. Would be happy to have him here though.

 

[WildRover]

Hopefully we will have some activity soon as the 1st July should mean the contracts have ended of those we are looking at...Just dont want a last minute panic buying session (Why didnt we keep collister if we weren't 100% certain TW was going to stay?)

 

[Boz]

Danny Holmes allegedly wouldn't sign a new deal at TNS, as wants to return to league football and other sides are meant to be interested as well. He wasn't that bad in his first spell here, but suffered from Ronnie's reluctance to give the youngsters a go. Don't care much either way.

Logan is unlikely to come to Rovers on a permanent basis for financial reasons as SonkORLY? suggests. We'd certainly be topping the disciplinary bad boys league with Shay and Joss in the same side;-)

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

The main problem Les has is finding and keeping good, experienced pros. We have quite a few good youngsters from the centre of excellence and from Premier League reserve teams, but the only players with any real experience we have under contract are Goodi, Enoch, Welshie and Zoum. I think this is partly why we are so erratic. That's one reason why we need to keep Robbo. Obviously it's mainly down to money, but as Les has shown, it's not impossible to find this sort of player - just difficult. Hopefully, it may be easier this close season, as there are so many more on the market.

Much as I wish we could have afforded to keep Joe Collister, we need an experienced number one. If not Warner, then Les must sign another old hand.

On another front, I see we've lost Dave Lowe but moved quickly to get John McMahon back as a replacement. We've also got a new physio in ex-Rover Gregg Blundell. At least the backroom looks in good shape for the coming season.

Let's not worry too much until next month when out-of-contract players have to make their minds up.

 

[Sparky]

I am slightly concerned now Warner has gone. Les has 3/4 keepers on trial but if none of them impress, we're going to be back into the loan market again.

I would snap Logan up straight away if we could. Even if we sign Kay, Logan in an advanced role down the right would work well - although maybe not in a 4-3-3.

Clubs are starting to sign players now. Carlisle signed McGovern and MK Dons have signed Bowditch - both would have been good signings. Lets hope Les has a few irons in the fire.

But what about Robbo, McCrystal - its all quiet on this front.
