Transfer targets

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Elk, did i see somewhere that Ennis, another on of our "targets", has signed for Blackpool on a contract?

If so, what's putting others off? Could it be......Wages, the position in the league, hoofball or maybe SE/PR.......please add your own thoughts......

I posted -
That Blackpool had agreed a deal to buy 25 year-old Stoke City striker Niall Ennis with the Potteries club,
but what was holding up the transfer was the personal terms between Blackpool & the player.

Not heard nothing since mate.

Deal gone through now Avondale for Ennis.
The transfer is now a loan deal, looks like the player did not like personal terms
to sign on a permanent deal.

Still quite a bit of time to go until 3rd February when the last minute scramble starts and we couldn't quite get them over the line.
Deja vu all over again?

Heard it’s a Portsmouth lad coming?

If it's from them Owen Moxon just been reading they could be loaning him out. SE will know about him playing for Carlisle.

Another midfielder! Is he a replacement for if Odoffin leaves? 🤔

I can understand the frustrations of some of the board regarding the window we've had. It's been a difficult one to negotiate, a lot of clubs have been doing business late due to players not being let out at higher levels. As a club, we're stuck in a crossroads because you don't want to go out and spend beyond the budget (which is already maxed) on a squad that is likely to not make the play offs this season. Equally, if you sign nothing, the fans are asking why you haven't signed anything, become disenchanted and stop going to games, and the budget is hit even further in the summer.

I think the two we've done so far will add real quality to the group, and is an ode to a change in strategy. We're moving away from "names", and people Evans has worked with previously, and moving towards looking at a younger profile of player, and a focus on much needed athleticism, mobility and technical ability, which is absolutely the way we should be going. This, in my eyes is what we as fans want to see and is part of the fabric of good Rotherham teams of old. To me it feels like the recruitment team have been much more involved in this window compared to last summer.

Play offs is a way off and I don't think we'll get there but the deals we've done so far, and the deals we have to come will give us every chance of having a very palatable L1 team, capable of winning a lot of games at the level and crucially create positivity within the fan base to carry us into a really important summer window for us.
