Former Hearts winger Sam Nicholson who i believe played over 120 games for Hearts mostly in the Scottish Premiership before moving to USA is a target of ours after returning to the UK .

Lots of rumours North of the boarder he's returning to Hearts, a smart player though who I'd be quite happy with.

It has been reported by the Edinburgh News that he is making a decision this wk end gets a few goals as well as being a decent winger so could be a useful player , we definitely need a couple of experienced wingers in .

I am not sure why the club lets the EP know about Rovers targets, sure there are always rumours on the internet, but I think the club should not broadcast the names of targets through any official
medium and only mention players after they have signed. So far this summer none of our imminent signings has arrived maybe this will soon change we shall see.

Doubt the club says anything, more likely agents who want teams to think their player has other options. Might not be interested in coming to us at all but a bit of speculation helps increase wages or speeds up a deal elsewhere.

Bristol Rovers? .... yeah that'll do! |

I thought he was a great player back when he was first playing for Hearts. Pacey, skillful and an eye for goal. I've no idea whether he's half as good these days.

Agreed likely to be agents, but rumours can work in the favour of the club as well... "We understand your client wants £x pw to sign for us on a 3 year deal and we really think that he would fit in with our team and club. However we are also talking to Joe Blogs and Fred Smith who albeit are not quite as good a fit or as highly rated as your client are looking for significantly less money and may accept a 2 year deal. Allowing us to free up some wages to strengthen in other areas" |

Ahh, so this is the bloke a City fan was telling me about from MLS.
As he said, "They've got 5 good signings completed, if they had a good manager I'd be worried."
Whilst they're not signed, they all sounds promising at least

I see a pattern emerging here of us getting linked players in Scotland that never actually seem to sign for us. Josh McPake, Drey Wright etc
So not holding out much hope of this one materialising but on paper a decent signing if it does.

Worst I ever saw in over 60 years was Derek Riordon who was a much heralded Scot. Mind you Jocky Alexander was brill,Clarkson so-so and loved Alex Munro.Hard case he was!!!

Perhaps it was Sam Nichols we were interested in from the start and not Drey Wright , maybe the post got the right nationality but wrong club and player. If so one out of three isn't bad for the evening post.

I have been watching this guy on YouTube which I know can exaggerate the abilities of a player, but I would say there is no chance of him coming to Rovers, he looks many levels above us.

We always seem to get linked with decent players that have a good record and are well thought of by their previous clubs. Unfortunately, we very rarely end up signing them.

I'll be very surprised if this comes to something. He'll stay in Scotland or sign for an English club up north.
Will come to us if he has no other offer
