9 goals in League One? Be still my beating heart.

I saw a lot of him when he was a Rochdale in the old division 3.  He came as a young lad from Fulham I think. He looked very handy at the time, a big strong lad, reasonable pace and touch, very good left foot, knew where the goals were. He hasn’t kicked on as I thought he might do, I think he’s been troubled with injuries a lot of the time.

Not the highest bidder.

The first bidder.

Didn't we turn down bids for him last year?

Yeah, a very underwhelming record since then, although a quick google did turn this one up for Hearts last season. Although I don't think there's anything in the rumours, it's definitely worth a watch!

I though he could have played for one of the lower teams in our league at one time but it doesn’t look like it now.

9 goals in 38 games. Not outstanding at all. Is he better than Gallagher tho? 

What type of player is he? Striker or wide forward?

I’d say he’s more of a striker. He’s got more of an eye for goal than Gally as you can see in that clip. He’s more willing to shoot at goal for a start. There was a time when I could see him doing a job for us, off the bench etc, but I think that ship as sailed.

There’s a five minute highlight reel on the internet. Look it up.  I thought his right foot was for standing on, he’s better than that.

Meanwhile, we're still trying to figure out what our new Technical Director does, and replace half our scouts. Let alone the budget approval from Pune.

The man who refused to play for us to force a transfer?

If Broughton couldn't do it properly what's the point in an even bigger novice coming in just to get paid to be ignored.

In fairness, for now it's just shadowing to make him ready for that sort of work. There's no indication the work will start with us. But of course, we know how nepotism and cheap salaries work at this club, so it's a potential risk that it could happen. Hopefully he buggers off to get started at Kidderminster or something instead.

He would be Waggots glove puppet and another shield between him and fans it would be a crafty move installing a popular former player on his part.

Sounds like that Owen has been tipped off about the shitshow he'd be joining, (probably by terrible MP missing from his constituency, Gregg Broughton).

Now let's see, Gestede is unemployed, cheap and naive.

"When can you start, Rudy?"

Shame. I hope we at least tried as this is the sort of business we really need to be looking to do but I have 0 faith. Especially with no recruitment team in place in the f*cking summer transfer window. Absolute circus.

Sure someone posted here the other day that Rovers have beaten Oxford to a player. Now just seen that Herbie kane has rejected Oxford 🤔

Yeh its best to assume nothing, but even then the powers that be both at Ewood and Pune will disappoint you.

Lest we forget we have Waggott who for all intents and purposes believes he played a blinder by leasing a bus last year! That's the level of comical ineptitude we are at!

Midfield is the least of our priorites and would really be an improvement?
