The Squad 2021-22

[Boz]

With Ridehalgh, if he’s offered a better deal elsewhere then should take it with our blessings. I’d like to keep him as a squad player, but he’s not going to be a guaranteed starter so no point in breaking the bank to keep him.

Agreed, the forward players will be the key for us and we're a fair size the budget will go

Suggestions elsewhere that there will be at least 2 signings next week (one may be Burton as mentioned above I assume) and one of whom MM managed at Shrewsbury. Rides also supposedly has been offered a new contract but will be going elsewhere unless we improve as he has another offer on much higher money...
Could be a very interesting week next week - let's hope!

The 2 signings don't include Burton

Ryan Watson Northampton midfielder signs for Rovers. Wasn’t expecting any Saturday signings!

 

[Sparky]

Seems a good signing on paper at least/ box to box midfielder. Local lad, 27 and for 8 goals from midfield last year in league one

 

[Ian]

Quality signing that. Midfield shaping up well.

 

[bigmart]

He turned down offer from Northampton and other clubs were interested in him, this is a very good signing.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Good signing. He provides goals from midfield, in his prime at 27 and a two year deal as well.

Northampton's player of the year in League One last season.

 

[Ian]

More of this please..

27 don,t wish his life away LOL at last we have someone who scores from midfield and with morris too would be good to see some front players coming in soon. but have to agree with the above quality player

 

[aldoes mustache]

not got a bad free-kick either

 

[Sparky]

Scored all types of goals last season. Headers from corners, free kicks and edge of the box stuff. Quite excited by this signing. Just need a striker now!

Excellent thanks and if it doesn't include Watson either then we may have a squad by this time next week

Watson 1 of them

I had a feeling when Lewis went to Northampton and he was "free " that we would at least take a look. There were doubts about whether our money would be enough to tempt him. Glad we've dug deep for this one. Probably counts as a marquee signing I think.

 

[bigmart]

Liam Ridehalgh confirmed he has left

 

[aldoes mustache]

good luck to him but we need to move on

 

[aldoes mustache]

i also like the fact Watson supported rovers as a kid and his whole family support rovers now must be made up to be joining his club if that don,t fire you up nothing will I would make him Captain with Scotty out

 

[Boz]

I'd expect Clarke to stay as stand-in captain

 

[Sparky]

A bit gutted about rides to be honest. He may have wanted first team football at his age and maybe Micky couldn’t guarantee it. Hope he gets a decent contract somewhere
