Dean Saunders: Expects more players to go

Rovers' extravagant recruitment policy has raised a few eyebrows over the last few months, with their new signings ranging from established Premier League stars such as El-Hadji Diouf and Pascal Chimbonda to a host of unknown French players.

But it is the exit door at the Keepmoat Stadium which has been busier in January with a number of players such as Richard Naylor, Mark Wilson, Ryan Mason, Jon Parkin and Dean Shiels all leaving the club and Saunders knows the departures will not stop there.

"There have been a lot of players to leave the club and take into account Billy (Sharp's) wages then we have cut the wage bill down a lot and I knew I had to do that when I came in," he said.

"With the crowds we are getting we can't compete with the likes of Leicester and Southampton so I have to use all my contacts and all of Willie's to get players in for next to nothing.

"We will have to lose some more players."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
