How do Posh manage to sign expensive players? They smaller gates than us don’t they? They're not really a football team that buys the occasional footballer; they're a footballer trading business that plays the occasional game of football.

Macey on loan at Plymouth, thought he did very well when we played them But he's still on Arsenal wages and they're probably paying most of his salary now.

If we lose Bonham I'd like us to try and get Nathan Trott from West Ham on loan. Very highly-rated goalkeeper. Ryan Huddart at Boreham Wood has also impressed me this season. A former Arsenal and England youth player.

I can't stand Posh, but it's mainly because I'm a bit jealous that they have a transfer policy that is streets ahead of us. Although it is a bit scattergun, like the lower league version of Chelsea. Still, it's a sure fire way of making decent money from transfers, bring in several highly rated young players each year and inevitably at least one of them will be sold for a large profit, clearing their expenditure and creating a quality team in the process. It's easy peasy given their buying power, I don't think there is even much cannyness to their scouting- if there is a half decent looking striker in the conference then you can guarantee he will be going to peterborough, matey from Dover is a classic example, as it is that one didn't work out but there are plenty that do to keep them well in profit overall. I'll bet they will be in for that Bonne lad if a championship club don't beat them to it. It's depressing really because even thiugh we are at the same level and get decent crowds we simply can't compete everytime their name is mentioned in connection with a player we are interested in. So sadly I expect if Peterborough want him then Bonham will be off.

Is this likely to happen in January? We could seriously lose Bonham with half a season to go? God help us.

Fraser Forster on loan from Southampton as long as they pay the massive wages

David Stockdale on loan from Birmingham if possible would be good.

Its not that we cant compete with them its that we choose not to compete and most fans on the forum are apparently happy with that The perception seems to be that it is a good idea to go into the football business with the aim of trying to gain success by matching your income to your expenditure. And if you don’t manage to gain the success you tried for and decide to get out it is a simple process of finding someone to buy your club and pay you all your money back. To me that is a load of baloney but it is the way many see it And when that is your policy you employ low key steady Eddie characters who would look quite at home working behind a bank counter or in the back office of an insurance company. You plod steadily on in an uninspiring way and if any questions are asked you promptly refer to the rule book and trot out all the reasons why you cannot do something. The reason for posting this on the Jack Bonham thread is to make the point that players may want to leave Rovers, or not want to come to Rovers, because of the underlying atmosphere at the club which comes across as lack of ambition and stagnation. Of course money plays a big part as does the standard of facilities but we should also recognize the perception of the club through the eyes of these dynamic young men we call pro footballers. They are aggressive outgoing characters in a hurry to make their mark and I would suggest that any player worth his salt is going to pay more attention to the big talk of someone like the Peterborough owner rather than the waffling of our three Steady Eddies

Lose Bonham without a like for like replacement ability wise and we’ve got no chance of staying up. I mean we’ve had some blooming good keepers on loan previously I.e Anderson, Forster, Culkin, lumley etc... if Bonham goes we NEED another! There was a lad that played for an England youth team that impressed me but I’ve completely lost his name!

If we could get him, it would be an unbelievably good signing. He's better than Bonham. However, he's now being linked with all the top clubs and a loan might be beyond us.

Joao Virginia from Everton would be another quality keeper to get on loan should we lose Bonham.

Rumors of Smith being transferred in January window (Bristol Post), if Bonham goes too we're left with only our youth keeper! Don't really want to be throwing money at signing keepers when we need some goal scorers. Wonder if Slocombe's move to Lincoln will be made official too.

Can't see Slocombe signing there permanently as he's getting no came time and is a sub every week like Mensah. Both, in theory, could return but can't see either will be good enough.
