A little bird ( who has been right before ) tells me that a very young but very promising centre half may be joining the 'Dale on loan from a nearby Championship club. |  | | |  |

Mm, no flies on you Col. I don't know what he's like as a centre half but nobody will beat him in a foot race. He can catch pigeons allegedly. Faster than Mbappe over 100 yards ! [Post edited 7 Aug 2019 10:42]

Bloody hell, Col. That was quick off the mark.
As above, I’ve not seen him play but we are very much in need of some pace in the centre of defence. A pairing of McNulty and O’Connell is up there with the slowest I’ve seen at Dale. |  | | |

On the subject of fast players, Gboly Ariyibi has been made available by Forest. BBM has said he is looking for a fast winger-type player.... |  | | |

Hey come on...know it's historic...no one could get near Andy Milner
when it came to pace.
Now, whether he still had the ball or had just tripped over it was another thing.
Still, great memories. Just still can't fathom out how that header of his ended over the bar with an open goal at Sandy end...having bounced first! | | | |

If he is anyway near as good as O'Connell or Long then he will be a good signing. |  | | |

Long came from Burnley, not Blackburn. Ryan Edwards was decent when he came on loan from Blackburn. | | | |

So he did! O'Connell was ace. Best defender not named Dawson or Reeves. | | | |

Not O'Connell bashing, but I did gawp a bit when he was out-sprinted by Perkins on sat.
Pace is not everything in a defender however. |  |

Motherwell tried to get him back on loan but he wants to stay in England. Forest are looking for cash rather than a loan, though, and Oxford have enquired. |  |

And Sam Hart was another excellent Blackburn loanee. |  |

Talking of decent defenders....it was good to see Matty Pearson starting for Luton in the Championship last week......one that got away?
Can't even remember him as doing anything better than ok and left us in 2013 for Halifax.
Done well for himself. | | | |

Hope its true. Could be a good addition. For me i would like to see another one come in who can find the net! If Hendo gets injured, it could be a problem. |  |

Quickest I think for me would be Alan Taylor or Dave Thompson
Any other suggestions ? |  |

Mendez Laing was rapid. | |

Dennis Butler was no slouch. | | | |

How likely is ‘may be joining,’ Ming?
As for fastest Dale players, NML gets my vote. Although Stanton was rapid too. |  | | |
| A Little Bird Tells Me on 15:37 - Aug 7 with 8281 views | isitme |
Buckley and Hogan. | | | |

Didn't Milner appear in those (invited)? sprint finals on TV and think everyone perhaps stood up and noticed at the time. Does anyone recall his 100 metre time btw. as seem to think he did well?
Perhaps (originally) being a rugby union player - must have been a winger - so perhaps he was good over those (slightly) longer distances.
No doubting there's others we've had who were electric over those first 10-20 yards and remember Buckley doing a few take-me-ons after kicking the ball down the line.
Always great to see. | | | |

According to pete o’rourke on twitter its happening.
Edit: Blackburn fans on twitter seem to rate him and are unhappy about him going out on loan, seems a good signing on paper. [Post edited 7 Aug 2019 16:10]
