I'm at least hoping for 3 more signings. box to box midfielder, right back and maybe left back or another striker

[Mercer]

Modeste has signed now for Rovers

http://www.rovers.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10303~2581795,00.html

will he take the number 9 shirt?

Slow news' night tonight Chaddy ?

Another bench warmer I feel !!!

[Sparky Marky]

could he play in a 2 with Yakubu ?

He's here to replace yakubu. His stock hasn't been this high for years...a decent bid Will come in. They'd sell him tomorrow ....

[Steve Kean's Barber]

Ordinarily I'd be underwhelmed, but given the circumstances this isn't bad at all.

Ever the optimist Hughesy! 2 more bargain basement players possibly.

Yep, just like under the last lot. Cheer up, at least it wont cost us our manager this time.

[T4E]

So if he's good we've got no chance of keeping him, if he's useless it's a wasted place in the squad.

Let's hope he's great and keeps us up, that seems to be the most we can hope for.

Anthony Modeste's statistics in Ligue 1 this season are here if anyone is interested.

On a positive note 1 goal every 156 minutes is pretty good. Just looks liek he's not played a great deal which is a worry.

So we've got an upfront partnership of Modeste Goodwillie. That's how good we are... We're humble and boastful all at the same time. #Rovers

[DeadlyDirk]

Pleasantly surprised by the signing. Have only seen bits of pieces of him but seems to have the right attributes that could see him causing a few problems in the premiership. Seems to have lost his way a little bit lately, maybe it can be a good move for him, hopefully he's hungry to prove himself.

Is he in the squad for tomorrow?

Wicked so lets call that 1 in 2, now all we need are another 2 goals a match to ensure we get some wins.

In amongst some hardcore decorating, i heard the French football expert(?) on Talksport talking about young Modeste. Lets just say his opinion of the lad was less than complimentary. I've looked for a link but can't find one. If anyone can be bothered (which i seriously doubt) it was on Hawksby and Jacobs this afternoon. I can summarsie though - he doesn't sound up to the job.

No he isnt in the squad tomorrow. Not had long enough to train with the team. Same team as fulham game except Goodie in for Yak

[Rovers_Dan]

Just read on sky sports he is on the bench??

Could be worth throwing him on at the end.

Unknown entity, and it's not like goodwillie will be effective for all of 90 minutes (if any)

[hesfromburn]

Didnt do much today and didnt have the ball at his feet much though, did some odd leg flailing.

[john.leigh]

Maybe I'm being harsh here after such a brief initial view on tv but would have to say I'm under whelmed. Not much impact.

[Eddie]

What we saw yesterday is a fairly good indication of what Modeste is. When he is up to speed and used to the game he will improve, but he is a player who's physical ability makes him a handful, but he has never learned how to fully harness that potential. He'll have a few games where he dominates, but a few where he looks lost.

[Rovers_Dan]

Looked awful when he came on. Had a great shot that hit the corner flag too.

[Tom]

In true Rovers fan style he will be written off by the next game

I know, why can't fans get him a chance. he hasn't even trained properly with the team mates.

are these the same rovers fans who were writting off Yakubu when he signed.

[BlueSue23]

Come on give the lad a chance! I liked what I saw for the short time he was on the field.

He needs a few weeks to settle in and train with the squad.

sure you'll give him 9 months like Formica, Rochina and Petrovic because we really have time on our side.
