Rampant Zebra

I still can't help wondering if he will go to Dortmund and Manure are just using us as part of the bargaining process. Weir and Williams didn't take long between first rumours and signing officially.

Fair point, it was only a lighthearted remark really. 🙂

Wrong thread... 😀

Let's hope he escaped from the lion 😀

I can't help wondering if they are fishing for better offers. Seems to be dragging out a bit from the initial rumour breaking.

Strange timing for Shrewsbury. Assistant has gone as well so let's hope they have a replacement in mind.

Will believe it when he appears in a picture with a Vale shirt on.

Cynics might ask if that is just to increase the price when we sell him...

Scored more career goals than Wilson or Chislett, just saying.. 🙂

No, I was deliberately winding you up because I felt like it...

His career with 47 goals to his name you mean?

Which would be good for us since we want to keep him...

I think Charlton want him now and are willing to pay a reasonable amount. I can't help feeling that we are working for the future but not the present. Developing players is fine but we also have a game tomorrow.

I think Loft has something about him but so has Uche. Once he was fit we should have offered him a longer contract to either keep him or get more for him in a sale.

We seem determined to prove to the world that you don't need to play people who can reliably score goals the going rate. I wonder why we gave Loft a two year contract but only gave Uche a one year contract too.

Barely played apart from the ones he played for Blackpool last season you mean. 17 appearances I think.

He has played more games in the championship than most of our squad, maybe he is not championship ready yet but he should be good enough for league one.

I am sure that with the right encouragement he will be an asset to our team. Welcome Rhys (2)

Ben lomax is a better option at RCB than him. We have won one and l0st two of the League games Ben has played in. It is too early to judge if he is going to be a better option, this is his first season of mens football.

It is only good news if we get someone better to replace him surely?

Fair point...

I thought he looked quite good technically in the brief period we saw but he needs to learn when to try the tricks and when to just hoof it away, he did some clever footwork in our penalty area while Reading where attacking and then put the ball into an area where it was picked up by a Reading player in a good position to attack our goal. Bit like Devine did against Charlton which led to one of their goals. Overall I think he will be OK, especially since he has already played with Devine but he needs to adapt to mens football which is a different mix of technical ability and bloody mindedness.

Jordan Hughill was a non league gem, unfortunately we let him go for Smurfs wallet.

I was just quoting what he said himself in that interview. It seemed like a strange thing to say really. 🙂
