Im just questioning why in opinion of some City should sign an average league 1 striker who recently bagged a hat trick. In fairness, Robbored has probably watched him play a lot more than any of us, so I'll go with his opinion on this one...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can bring yourselves to watch a Rovers goal check out his backheal pass for the 2nd goal v mk dons. Ha, you have to play loanee players.. Hang on...

Big C Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Why spend money on someone who would have cost nothing 4 months ago. Goals in League 1 doesn't necessarily means goals in the Championship just ask Agard. I would be hoping we would be looking at strikers from an higher level in January we don't need to shop in the bargain basement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at Agard's career record at that level, he also worked tirelessly for us but was simply not good enough for Championship football. Tom Bradshaw is another one, too.

Lack of Action Man Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Why don't we sign Jamie Cureton and Junior Agogo whilst we're at it? They both know how to stick it in the old onion bag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JC might remember a 'welcome' we gave him a good few years ago and it might have put him off joining City, something about 'a bag of sweets and a cute little smile' IIRC. Weren't our supporters singing about swimming garments? 'Speedos, speedos' or something similar wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a weak link on the Crystal Maze on Monday, but still captained the team to the jackpot. Not sure what point I'm making here. Telly is edited for our enjoyment or that Rio can't wire a doorbell. Possibly both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thought it would be useful to remind people that for a player that plays in the same nation as the club looking to sign him, a Bosman can only be offered when there is a month left on their contract, as opposed to 6 months for player in a foreign league.

Phileas Fogg Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 If he wasn't a Rovers player I think we'd be a bit more enthusiastic about him. I think he's a good player, in my opinion he has a higher ceiling than Agard. Problem is I can't imagine Rovers wanting to sell him, and even if they did they'd demand an extortionate amount from us. Probably not worth it, I'd be loathed to give them any money, especially a seven figure sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much attention I pay Rovers! I think he's potentially good enough, but too risky to expect him to come in and compete with Abraham as a regular goal scorer. Could see someone like Brentford going for him, relatively low risk and potential for sell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 13 hours ago, Pezo said: I find this quite funny - we talk about strikers on here all the time but we have an above average goal scoring record, for our position in the table we also have an above average goals conceded record. It might not quite as interesting as attacking but we need to focus on our weakness and at the moment that is stopping goals going in. Yes but not many positions we could really replace. Keeper? Maybe. Bryan at left back (probably no), Mags and Flint (with Moore and Eksland as back up, no), Matthews has found form again (maybe better back up but Little has done okay this season). Midfield next, Smith is nearly fit, don't think need any others. That leads us to defending from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I wouldn't want that arrogant bellend anyway near our club. You just need to see what he did to the Oxford fans when he scored to know he's so far up his own arse it's unreal, complete tool, but he compliments Bristol Rovers very well if you get my drift.

EASTEND WURZEL Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 could of moved on in the summer as there was scattered interest, but chose to stay with Rovers at the eleventh hour . sums up the lack of ambition from a player who really should be playing at a better level.

Tinmans Love Child Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Our problems are still conceding too many goals I think, we need to work on that just as much.

Unan Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 He refused to sign a contract, so obviously looked elsewhere. Nobody wanted him apart from Oxford so at the last minute he decided to sign a contract with Rovers. A contract in which the details weren't released, very weird. 6 month/1 year contract presumably. Why would anyone pay money for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
