A savvy SPL manager should sign him up. I think he would have fun against those defences.Rob Apter called up for Scotland U21!

drifting from 500/1 to 1000/1 surely you meant?!!His next Rovers appearance drifts from 50-1 to 100-1. Opens a whole lot of new clubs to his potential as well.

Duration of contract kept quiet. I’m guessing he’s got a decent deal as not an obvious destination for Nevitt.Elliot Nevitt signs for Gillingham on a free
Wild may bide his time at hope things don’t work out for Micky as he’s an Oldham fan and lives in the town.Let’s hope Bonner doesn’t turn him into a goal machine like he did with a certain other Rovers old boy.
On a side note I see Barrow and Pete Wild have mutually agreed to part company.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Gillingham have money to spend since their US takeover.Duration of contract kept quiet. I’m guessing he’s got a decent deal as not an obvious destination for Nevitt.
Yes thought the same. Despite Crewe’s top 7 finish Gillingham weren’t too far off and he’ll be on better money now than when at Alex after the season he’s had. Good luck to him as it’s a short career and it’s not like he’s a youngster just coming throughYes, my thoughts exactly. Gillingham have money to spend since their US takeover.
They grabbed Lloyd in similar strange circumstances and that didn't work out.Yes thought the same.

He was competent with us, though never thought he'd go on to do so well after his short loan spell at Rovers. Guardiola's treatment of him at City was strange, especially as the keeper he first brought in to replace Joe was poor. Don't blame Southgate so much for dropping as Hart went through a barren spell after leaving City, until his successful stint at Celtic.An emotional Joe Hart retires after keeping a clean sheet and winning a Scottish Cup medal. He has had a great career which continued long after he was ditched by Pep Guardiola and Gareth Southgate. A true pro.
Pep wanted a keeper comfortable with Ballater his feet and ended up with Ederson who's a top class keeperHe was competent with us, though never thought he'd go on to do so well after his short loan spell at Rovers.

I agree, although Hart's subsequent treatment by the media was harsh.Pep wanted a keeper comfortable with Ballater his feet and ended up with Ederson who's a top class keeper

For me, it was a shame Guardiola didn’t try to work with Hart to develop his ball at feet strategy, rather than immediately dumping him. Ederson is a quality keeper who can play that way, but the first keeper Pep brought in Bravo was decent in the footwork department but poor at the commanding his area and shot-stopping that Hart was good at.I agree, although Hart's subsequent treatment by the media was harsh.
Spot on. It was ill~judged. If it had to be said, someone else should have said it. Someone who the fans fully trust and respect. I think it could make things worse.He got quite a bit of splash back for that in the week!
Regardless of how accurate his comments might be (although I suspect he’s exaggerating about what all these opposition managers have supposedly been telling him), when a manager directs comments like that to a fan base they’re potentially playing with fire. Klopp could do it, Mellon could have probably carried it off too when he was at the height of his powers here, but it’d be a brave man or a fool to do it at a club where they haven’t really earned any brownie points yet and, indeed, haven’t yet even won over many of their doubters.
