Mr Tibbs Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I have no source before we start. Rumour from the Donny end, apparently having a medical here tomorrow. All over twitter (the be all end all of transfer rumours) now too. Defender from Doncaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Could be the utility player at the back we've been looking for - he can play anywhere across the back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Seems to be doing the rounds on Tweeter. Not heard anything else, official or otherwise. Still, if it plugs the hole at left back, then happy days. Just need a good ol' CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Seems to be plastered every where and I cannot find a reason for it, therefore must be true. Don't know much at all, I know he has put in a very good performance against us in the past [size=1]nearly 3 years ago now [/size]so can't be all bad surely - I won't judge any player until they've put the black and white on, and won't base it from where they come from either. Not exactly the young buck anticipated - but an established championship defender, versatile and bald (the new alan wright, wright, wright) maybe?

Scott129 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Would prefer a teenage-early 20s understudy at LB tbh. If we get that, there's no need for someone who can play all across the back 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Although he an play at LB or RB, Ive not heard of him play CB before. So I would have thought the "anyway across the back 4" suggestion is a bit of a myth. Still he's had a couple of good seasons in the championship as a regular.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 NC wanted abit more 'bite' in the side I suppose.

randombc Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I suppose he'll cover right back and left back which will see Naylor move to CB, and then if needed RB if both Roberts and Brayford are injured. Never seen him play, but at least we've got cover that we've always wanted. Anyone know the fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 {content}Always looked good when he played against us, good signing as can play both full back positions. The speed of this signing suggests to me that Roberts hamstring is worse than 'tight'.[/indent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
