***** Transfer Rumours - Official Thread *****

Bristol will announce the signing of left back Paul Dixon early next week. The robins are also hot on the trail of 4 more players. With 2 players according to my source close to signing.

Ins:

Paul Dixon, Dundee Utd, £0
Mustapha Carayol, Bristol Rovers, £1m
Heidar Helguson, QPR, £300,000
Jody Morris, St Johnstone, £300,000
Matt Derbyshire, Forest, LOAN
Youl Mawene, Aberdeen, £0

 

I do like Helguson - good player
I think DM has already said the club are not interested in Carayol
Matt Derbyshire scored 1 goal in 28 games for Forest/Birmingham last season - maybe he does need to kick start his career
Mawene is 32 - not sure about that one

 

If it's true, then the player usually ends up where he wants to go

 

As long as we don't blow the whole transfer fund on one player.

I think DM is playing a game about Carayol, he could then use Bolasie and Carayol on the wings with Adomah as a support striker.

 

Brett Pitman could complete his move to Burnley for 500,000 pound on Monday

 

Something was obviously not right between Pitman and the management team towards the end of last season, and also the players did not celebrate one of his goals with him.
I sit near the dug outs and DM's body language with Pitman looks to me as if he (DM) thinks he does not work hard enough (Pitman's langid running style does not help in that respect either)
That said - we would surely be looking for £1m?

 

I would agree with Mcinnes there, Pitman won't get us 20 goals because he dosent work hard enough to get them, when he got 13 goals the season before last, a few were penalty's and it was a little run in the November time that got him the goals, i think the perfect replacement would be simeon jackson from norwich, was very good when they were in the championship and that was as a 2nd choice striker behind holt

Were after Calderon of brighton, he scored a right cracker against us at there place

 

Swanson going to Petersborough, no mention of us beng in the hunt for him. Proves we are not after every Scottish player

Rumours about Rob Hulse signing on a free. Some rumours about Adomah wanting to leave to Swansea too.

 

cant see swansea doing any business till a new managers sorted.

 

really don't want us loosing Adomah

 

Depends on the money really. A club making the losses we are can't really justify turning down £3m plus in my opinion. Stick a sell on clause in just in case and we'll have made a decent profit on him.

perhaps the post comes on here and listens to our rumors

 

They got that off OTIB, thats what the evening post do.. get their "sources" off OTIB and change the words around

 

Now we need Albert to have a cracking start and get a big bid in from Liverpool..

 

Bristol Rovers are set to complete the 100k transfer of Crawley striker John Akinde. after impressing on loan at the Bristol club last season, Akinde is set to be Bristols first summer signing.
