Spurr to Donny?

Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll is in the market for a new left-back and he has targeted a move for Spurr.

Spurr, who has come through the youth ranks at Hillsborough, is entering the final year of his contract and they could be willing to listen to offers for the 23-year-old.

Spurr is thought to be interested in a move to Doncaster and the chance to play at a higher level than League One.

Rovers are keen to tie up a deal as soon as possible to fend off any interest from other clubs.

Personally I would really welcome this move as I believe Tommy has come as far as he can go with us. Stagnation seems to have set in, so he needs a fresh start somewhere else.....and under a manager who can really get the best out of him, i.e. SOD. Noone can possibly deny Tommy's love for our club, and that loyalty deserves to be rewarded with a warm pat on the back from all us owls and all our best wishes for the future. Good luck Tommy and thanks for everything.

If this happens then I wish Tommy all the best, a true Wednesday lad who can never be knocked for his enthusiasm and work rate, I'll never forget his stunner against Plymouth and his revving up of us away fans when we'd pulled the blunts back to 3-2 at their gaff!

Good luck Tommy, I think it's probably a good time in his career to move on.

Top player. We should be keeping him

We should maybe go for a swap deal. Spurr for O'Driscoll.

is O'Driscoll a pacey winger

He's quicker than Megson and Teale.

Not if he runs as fast as he talks

There isn't a link between pace and your brain trueblue, surely JJ's taught us that!

im not too sure we should be letting him go, granted we have conceded a number of goals down our left but is that just down to tommy spurr,he gets so far forward at times hes usually ahead of our left winger . if he doesnt get decent cover when he assists the attack then is that tommys fault or the way we work as a team.
i think if tommy perhaps got back to concentrating more on defense than attack we would see him realise the potential he showed some time back.

To be fair to Spurr, I think he's struggled a lot from having Teale and JJ in front of him, who are a more of a hinderance if/when they track back. Think it was all a bit to much pressure for the lad.

I like Tommy, but like others have said, I think he might have done his time with us. We're not a club who can afford to give passengers chance after chance.

It's pretty gutting the decline of Tommy and Beavers. Was only a few years ago we were apparently fending off Everton and Chelsea for them. Reckon we could sneak down to Stamford Bridge while they've no manager and switch the Chelsea scouting report for the one from 2008?

I was at Hillsborough a couple of years ago, and saw a 30 yard cracker from Tommy(against Fulham in the cup I think).

I know many of you have said he didn't have a good season last year, but I believe if you're in and out of the team, you wont.

We will take good care of him.

On a personal note, I think you've made a mistake with Heff. I didn't want him to leave us, but with our 1 up front policy, it never suited him. That was never your policy, so he would have scored many for you.

Good luck for this coming season, and I'll be cheering with you when you beat the Blades ( and I hope that it happens on Boxing Day).
