Was on having a gas picked up an infection in his knee hence the reason why he was out so long Just read about this so it seems the knee injury wasn't as bad as first feared but was extremely unlucky to pick up an infection which sounded pretty nasty. If this is all cleared up now surely we should be offering a contract and build him back up as he is so influential and we got 30/40 games out of him next season we wouldn't be far off where we want to be. He is that good and if he does stay the captains armband should be his he just seems a natural leader. |

Unfortunately he would appear to be extremely unlucky on a regular basis. His wikipedia mentions a few long term injuries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Rossiter |

Really rate Rossiter and hope he gets a contract and stays injury free - he deserves it

He really was some prospect as a youngster. Obviously showing great character to keep fighting for his career at our level. Reminds me a bit of the Jamie Shore story, I hope it has a happier ending |

Taylor or Rossiter not giving straight answers if he will be here next season, let's hope he is, also noticed when Taylor was asked if JCH was still on the radar he didn't say yes or no, surly if he wasn't he'd say no or am.I thinking to much into this

With Rossiter in the team, you are more likely to average 2 points a game. Without someone like him, less than 1.5. If he manages just 20 games that's probably mid 70 points, playoffs.

McAnthony said his piece but we’ve remained silent, as has JCH. There could be a couple of reasons 1) It was entirely our fault and nothing we could say in mitigation 2) Rovers and JCH were hoping to re-ignite the deal at the end of the season? |

Rossiter - if we can get positive news from the club doctors, I would risk a 1 year contract with our extension option. Hopefully he would show a little loyalty as we have paid him through the last couple of years, and not jump for a slightly better/longer offer elsewhere. Cant blame him if he did though, it is his livelihood after all.
JCH - think it is very unlikely. Would we then let Martin go? Really dont want us paying for both of them, need money spent on speedy front men. Martin is top of the Goals Scored >75 minutes table (7) and could be brilliant to bring on for the last 20 in games once a strong speedy number 9 has ran the oppo defences ragged!

Martin is top of the Goals Scored >75 minutes table (7) and could be brilliant to bring on for the last 20 in games once a strong speedy number 9 has ran the oppo defences ragged! I think we need three strikers for next season - one of which would be Martin but mainly off the bench. I agree in ideally getting a quick striker in but to have one of those who’s general play and goalscoring is league one ready from day one is going to be hard to find - will probably mean a gamble on someone raw from lower divisions? If JCH is interested in coming back to Rovers (maybe possible with his partner living locally?) then I think we’d be daft not to try and make it happen. I don’t think he’s 30 yet and doesn’t seem to get injured much - I think he’s got 12 goals for P’Boro despite being on the bench most of the time and his 128 minutes per goal is way better than any of the league one top scorers. |

Sounds like JCH should have binned him - if not after the first failed transfer then definitely after the second !! |

The deal was agreed with more than an hour to go to submit the paperwork and we missed the deadline by seconds, if you believe that. |

Rossiter is a quality player, if injury prone. I really hope he and the club can get together and agree a sensible contract; ie a not too high basic wage, but good appearance money. With his injury record I don't think that would be unreasonable, and I can't see too many clubs rushing to offer him a lucrative long term deal at the moment.

Let`s hope MT sees it the same way. |
