Ruben Rochina Signs

[rover_groo]

Does anyone know why videos of Ruben's arrival/training havent been posted by Rovers like the Mauro ones have? Is he even here yet?

Rochina has arrived and according to reports he scored in his first game in a Rovers shirt for the reserves today in a 1-1 draw against Wrexham. Not sure of the full starting line-up, but a good positive boost for Ruben!!

Reserves are playing at Leigh against Blackpool on Monday evening. I'm hoping Formica and Rochina might be involved. Quite fancy the trip over.

Wrexham? coincidence, aren't we after their young striker.

Edit total garbage, just remembered when reading this again, it's the lad at Crewe.

Mentioned in this article

It talks about Roque quoting Kean as saying "He trained with the medical staff......."

I expected the sentence to continue, "and they lasted longer than he did."

I will be disappointed not to see Ruben and Mauro soon.

[bazza]

his name was pronounced on SSN last night as Rockina not the Roshina (phonetic spellings BTW)

I am reliably informed that Rochina is pronounced roh-chee-nah with the emphasis on "chee".

Ruben has the emphasis on "ben".

According to Barcelona's offical website, the transfer only cost 450,000 euros.

[Kelbo]

My lads watched his well taken goal on the big screen at the game and tell me he has a really good touch, lots of quick little flicks etc. If he from Barca we will have a chance with him, as long as Kean doesnt spoil him, we really need to up the ante coaching wise, we are really thin on the ground and if the gameplan is to develop young players, we simply must invest in a couple of top coaches.

No Rochina or Formica present at tonight's friendly. I think they have gone away with the rest of the squad.

Blackpool currently winning 1-0. Beattie playing upfront for them.

Both rochina and Formica were said to go along with the squad to Dubai.. According to some article I read today.

[chocky]

Well I hope so because we need them to play..

Well I hope so because we need them to play..

they are in dubai with rest of squad and i am told will be involved next game both of them.

[Sverre]

As Rochina is fitter than Formica at the moment, due to Formica's season break in january, I think Rochina's first rovers appearance will come much sooner than Formica's.

[Tom]

Scored again for the reserves tonight

He also sounds quite involved:

Nice from Rochina, flicking the ball over the onrushing marker, then runs whilst keeping the ball up with his knee, but his flick over for Formica finds his fellow forward a yard offside.

stellar work there.

Something in the LT about Rochina being ready for the Premiership.

Could we see him play some part in the Everton game this weekend?, would certainly like to see him at least come on as a sub following his good spell in the reserves.

[Hughesy]

Yeah its an article with Mame saying how he is ready for the prem and that he has all the attributes to become a star player at Rovers.

Basically saying he cant believe we got him for £500k and he will prove a bargain signing. Says he has abit of Messy about him and that he has good touch and technique.

Il be happy even if he gets 30 mins at Everton.
