[Archived] The Bryan Dabo Mystery

[booth]

Wouldn't say Modeste was the worst. Yes he couldn't finish but he looked like a decent player with some potential, good to see him performing well in Hoffenheim.

He didn't, he really didn't.

When money is tight and Corry Evans is injured can we now expect to see this Dabo fellow getting a run out in the first team.

"The Bryan Dabo Mystery" is a brilliant name for a band.

Then again I don't know what the great mystery is ? It happens at clubs all the time, they sign a player but they turn out to be not good enough for the first-team. It's hardly an unusual occurrence. There's probably plenty of players signed for Rovers in the past who have who played only a few games if any at all. Gordon Greer? Bruno Berner? Nuno Henrique? Herold Goulon? Amine Lingzani?

Maybe Dabo will get a look in sometime but he clearly can't have impressed that much because he's obviously deemed of a lower quality than the likes of Evans, WIlliamson, Lowe and Taylor who have all been preferred in central midfield ahead of him. Although I like to reserve judgement until I've actually seen him in action. Though I do have faith in Bowyer's judgement who seems to be a good judge of a players ability and rarely seems to obviously leave out a player who is better than the ones that are starting.

Sounds more like an episode of the big band theory.

You're having me on aren't you? He would have been last pick for a kickabout in the local park.

Who's Glenn Miller?

Bryan Dabo is a sleeper agent, sent by his distant uncle Ousmane, to seek revenge on Joey Barton. He's been in training for his one moment of glory for some years now. He will put his plan into practice at the QPR game, releasing seven shades of fury when the code word is murmured. The code word, unsurprisingly, is STABILITY, so be careful.

could kick off any minute then, with the amount of stability we have

[AllRoverAsia]

Gaz called when he got the word,
And he said: "I suppose you've heard -
About Dabo".
Well we rushed to the stand,
And we looked inside,
We could hardly believe our eyes -
As a big bloke ran

Into Ewood live...

Oh, we don't know why he's playing,
Or where he's gonna go,
I guess Gaz has got his reasons,
And we'd really like to know,
'Cos for twenty-four weeks
We've been trying to see Dabo.
Twenty-four weeks just waiting for a chance,
To see how he plays, and maybe give him a chance,
Now we've got to get used to seeing Dabo play...

DABO DABO who the xxxx is DABO

Who was his manager? Yes he wasn't the best but look at him now, he obviously has something.

Any chance of editing the thread title to include the word 'LEGEND'?

Thanks.

[Guest Wen Y Hu]

No way. You make your bed and you lie in it. Besides, we haven't given him chance to be a failure yet.

[somersetrover]

It just about sums this signing up that today he can't get on the bench ahead of Etuhu who has played about an hour all season and that was in November and he was worse than useless then. Also does anyone have any idea what sort a midfielder he is, does he play the holding role, is he a more advanced midfielder or is a box to box type.

[Stuart]

Etuhu's was surely a shop window performance to prove he wasn't at the glue factory.

Wonder if he qualified for a win bonus.

[dingles staying down 4ever]

More likely GB instructed he is own big bucks you've got to play him.

[Stuart]

Big bucks are usual the alleged reason NOT to play players!

Only if it high bonuses not basic pay

Given the timing of Etuhu's contract my money would be on both but if you know different, fair play.

Btw, I love that he has UHU in his name. The glue factory jokes write themselves - the ball sticking to him, not so much! (Sorry Dickson).

[LDRover]

I like the fact his name has the word DICK in it.

That seems more appropriate.
