I wouldn't have minded Paul Anderson here. He is a good age (28) and can play the role that Clarke wants from the left cutting inside. A good signing in League Two for Mansfield.

The lad Plymouth had on loan from Cardiff (Matty Kennedy) looks a good option too. He is quick, only 22 and can play on either wing.
Still under contract so will need paying for.

Should wait and see if Bury are up there during/at the end of the season before firmly deciding whether these 3 players over 30 are not great signings/decent signings.

failed in his choice of players not his coaching ability which is 10 out of 10 So Lumley and Sweeney were rubbish? No manager in the world could say that every signing they've made has been a success but DC has got a good enough record for me with regards to his signings. He also knows when a player isn't what everyone thinks he is like LDV and Dawson. His record when it comes to goal keepers is not that good is it. Joanna was what the 4th one he had in before he got a good one ?

Only seen a bit of him, but from what I've seen he looks very promising.

Plus Roos was highly rated and did well at Afc, so unless DC could predict he would lose form/confidence it looked like he would cover us for the season.

This is sort of permanent signing I would like us to make, he has displayed potential on loan at another club, we could capitalise on this our self.
Like to think we are looking at players who have been performing well and go in for them. Sure we could offer better deals than some other clubs.

IMO one of the few negative things about DC is his ability to get players in at the right times, particularly during the summer.
Roos came in late August, we were in a similar position the summer before that too as it was quite clear Puddy wouldn't be up to it.

Roos and Nichols did turn out to be poor signings though.

Dunno how much of this is down to him not having the budget to get the players he wants, or not wanting to pay silly money for the players he wants when they're most readily available. Either way, imo it may be down to money rather than DC's ability

Well with our budget only just being decided and 10 or 11 players to come in assuming the other three who haven't signed yet,do it is interesting to see that Bury have already signed three players and two are players I would have loved to seen come to us- Jermaine Beckford and Stephen Dawson (from Scunthorpe). Of course Northern clubs have a huge advantage with so many more clubs at our level around them but the truth is we probably don't have the financial clout to get players from even say Exeter. Both those players would have been of the sort of quality that a side aiming for the Championship should be signing. I await with interest who our first signings will be but hope that we see some action in this direction soon as in my opinion the "late" signings are generally going to be ones who use us as a last resort rather than us being top of their list. The trouble we have is that if you want a player who has a good goalscoring record then they are going to be a) expensive or 2) have a lot of clubs interested in them.and this is true whether you are going for a striker or a goalscoring midfielder or winger. It may be a case of getting someone like Beckford who are on their way down but have the chance that by dropping down they are able to find the net regularly again. Pretty sure you've started a similar thread for the last 2 or 3 seasons, given DC hasn't really even been able to sign one player yet you seem a bit early this season starting your annual thread. As far as Beckford he seems typical of the players Buckle and Magoo signed, do you really want to see players looking for their last pay off back signed by Rovers. The only player I'd sign nearing the end of their contract is Lambert and even his signing could be a gamble. I'll draw judgement on DC's signings when he actually makes some not before the first new player arrives.

Bury have made a quick start to their signings but I've mentioned on another thread that if you go on the Bury forum most are really happy about a potential forward line of Beckford and Vaughan and Dawson in midfield. But some others are questioning where the money is coming from and there's rumours about how the club is run, which if true, sound really questionable. Not sure that Bury is the benchmark for us and I guess we need to be patient and wait for the signings to happen. Perhaps it's just a Rovers thing that we don't make early signings like other clubs might. Bury had financial problems last season and I don't think they've sold a player for much money and their crowds hover around 4000 so don't know if what they are doing is sustainable. We'll see I guess. When you see other clubs, potentially your rivals, making signings then I guess it's frustrating but DC has said in his interview that he has his targets in order so we just need to be patient! Easier said than done in the close season!! UTG!

the thing I think that folks are forgetting is that marquee signings carry a far greater risk than smaller less known ones....
there is a balance to consider, and Darrell is one of the best at this....
