darko2k7 Posted 9 July 2012 Posted 9 July 2012 Not sure if it's worthy of it's own thread as i'm sure we are tagged in every transfer but might as well post it . http://savethemighty...-make-imps-day/ Middlesbrough Manager Tony Mowbray has confirmed that talks are taking place over a move for Bristol Rovers and former Imps winger Mustapha Carayol. But the news that the two clubs are still set to agree a fee will also alert Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County, Leicester City, Barnsley and Rotherham United, who have all made enquiries in recent months.
ScouseFox Posted 12 July 2012 Posted 12 July 2012 A Rovers mate just text me saying word on the street is we're leading the race to sign him. No idea how reliable that is but I assume he's got it off their forums/twitters/etc.
FrankieADZ Posted 12 July 2012 Posted 12 July 2012 i thought Boro was meant to be in for him. looks decent enough from some of the footage i've seen of him.
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 12 July 2012 Posted 12 July 2012 Some on their forum saying it's happening; some aren't...... http://www.brfcforum.co.uk/index.php?/topic/104206-muzzy-off-to-leicester/page__st__40
GingerrrFox Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 I spoke about this guy a few months back in a thread with a visiting Bristol Rovers fan and have felt for a very long time that he is a player with very very good potential due to how young he is and the talent that he has already shown, would be very happy as he would bring some much needed flair to the side.

Can't help but wonder why he hasn't played at a level higher than League 2 and why the Bristol Rovers fans don't seem devastated to lose him.
GingerrrFox Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 23 isn't that young. Can't help but wonder why he hasn't played at a level higher than League 2 and why the Bristol Rovers fans don't seem devastated to lose him. He's 22, since when was 22 not young? He's younger than Vardy by 3 years and Vardy was playing non-league last season. Players progress at different levels at different ages and at 22 (nearly 23) he's still got at least 7 seasons in him.

Players progress at different levels at different ages and at 22 (nearly 23) he's still got at least 7 seasons in him. He's 23. Vardy has worked his way through the lower leagues and been prolific in all of them, Carayol has been in and around League 2 for the past 5 years and hasn't made a huge impact any year, not in terms of goals anyway. I'm not saying that he wouldn't do well here as I've never seen him play, but going from the Rovers forum, they seem relatively happy with £400k and have plenty of complaints about his attitude and commitment.
MGLCFC Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 Seems like Gradel all over again - loads of potental, plenty of skill, but no consistency.
LeicesterAreGoingUp Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 seeing odd FA cup games where he has featured he's got passion, skill and a good shot. PLEASE HAPPEN :pearson:

Which leagues has vardy worked through then.........
NewburyFox Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 Which leagues has vardy worked through then......... Which ever leagues Stocksbridge Park Steels and FC Halifax were in, and then the BSP with Fleetwood. Admittedly it's a lower level then Carayol's level but at least he's had a fantastic season then moved up, compared to Carayol who has been stuck at League 2 for a few years. I was only querying why Carayol hasn't made the step-up sooner and why the Rovers fans aren't too disappointed to lose him.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 23 isn't that young. Can't help but wonder why he hasn't played at a level higher than League 2 and why the Bristol Rovers fans don't seem devastated to lose him. Beckford would've been playing non-league at a similar age.....
NewburyFox Posted 13 July 2012 Posted 13 July 2012 Beckford would've been playing non-league at a similar age..... Yes, I know.
foxes4e4 Posted 14 July 2012 Posted 14 July 2012 Seems like Gradel all over again - loads of potental, plenty of skill, but no consistency. no consistency so perfect for leicester for the passed 4 seasons then consistenty inconsistent
Fox92 Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Bristol Rovers have confirmed he is close to joining Middlesbrough.
