I have been informed that Rotherham are showing an interest in RB. Thought I would share that snippet with you all. Anyone else heard anything?

It'd be a shame, as I think he offers us something different to bring on for the last 20. We don't have anybody similar in our squad, especially seeing as though the youngster who was apparently that kind of player was released without getting a chance this summer.

Rotherham do appear to be admitting an interest...

If it is true then it'll be interesting to see how much they want to pay for him, just having come out of admin and all...

They also say that Robins is looking at that Canadian trialist we had, plus Drewe Broughton. Now I didn't see enough of Haber to comment, but Barker is a much much much better player than Broughton.


Aye, but is Broughton a potential cheaper option?

And I didn't see any of Haber, so based on the little that you did would you like to see more?

Drew Broughton was absolutely universally slated by Wrexham fans last season, as their worst ever loan signing in living memory.
Ouch - keep away from him Pools

The rumour seems to be gathering momentum. Quite a few people are now saying this is a virtual certainty.
I would hope we get a fee, which is possible as the new owners have money to invest and they are now in a position to spend it. Ritchie actually lives in Rotherham but it is ironic that Rotherham United don't. They had to give certain assurances to the football league, one of which was a move back into Rotherham within four years. The club and the council are planning to do something similar to Donny's Keepmoat Stadium.

I Dont think he will go. If Porter or Brown gets injured he is our next striker!

Not the end of August yet - perhaps we're waiting for one to go to get another one in?

The rumour round this neck of the woods is that he signs tomorrow. Could be bollocks like.

it certainly would appear like it on the face of things.
I'd like to see more movement getting rid of Budtz and bringing in a new keeper.

I'd also like to see more movement on the remortgage of my house
