RUMOUR - Jason Roberts

[winchester_royal]

Exactly, just opening yourself up to be mocked when you're inevitably wrong.

Veterans like AP really should know better

[Simon's Church]

Still an excellent player and would bring a focal point to our attack that we've been lacking since Long left. Would be a fantastic signing, in fact I'd be surprised if we don't go on a long winning streak when/if we do sign him.

Good call sir!

33 years old, past his best another Shaun Goater.

I'd lulz this but I suppose the first part is technically correct

He's 34

Now who has egg on their face

[Ian Royal]

33 when he signed though.

Just think if you're going to try and pull someone up, you should probably get what you're pulling them up on right.

Says the man who tells me that Jason Roberts signed for us on 26th January when he was 33 years old when his 34th birthday was on the 25th January

[winchester_royal]

Dudesss, chill

[paultheroyal]

At 34 years of age and 24 goals in the last 6 years, a big no thanks!

lulz

I knew this day would come - thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will only encourage me to dig out any of your dodgy posts!!

Fair cop Gov. I was sure he'd signed a day before his birthday not the day after.

Quiet, this is important...

Isn't this just like getting Les Ferdinand all over again?!

exactly my thoughts, i hope not!

No thanks. He'd spend most of his time kicking the oppostion for disrespecting him.

I repeat - no thanks.

Not good enough anymore. No thanks.

If Roberts turns out to be our big money signing then everyone will be LOLing at us judging by work colleagues today.

No too sure about this... Yakubu didn't exactly set the championship alight did he? And he is keeping Roberts out of a dismal Blackburn team...

No apart from 25 goals in six years not likely to set the world alight let alone RFC. Bargain basement acquisition. Hardly big investments from the Ruskies. Real facts.

10 goals over the last three seasons (64 apps). A couple of years ago this might have been great, but now it's a bit dubious.

Bit underwhelmed tbh - hope it's only a loan coz you don't want to be buying strikers on the way down at the end of their careers really

Only 13 starts then. I'd be hoping to sign a striker who can manage 80mins most weeks and who might get better with time rather than worse.

he's a poor finisher IMHO

So, we are signing a 34 year old striker whose career is on the Back Peddle. 9 times out of 10 they prove to be shit signings. Massive backward step.

Come on, are you for real? Since when has signings like this proved a sound transfer strategy for us? Joke signing that smacks of the Tommy Burns era.

[TFF]

Christ.

A lot of people thought that. I had my doubts. We were wrong.

But seriously, spending time digging that lot out and quoting it?

LOLame

[Snowball]

It's not about DOUBTS, doubts are fine

It's the holier-than-thou certainty that so many here write off players

Roberts
Cummings
Harte
Kebe
L-Wood
McAnuff
Federici
Pearce
Tabb
Noel Hunt
Karacan
Long

all "weren't good enough"


Basically, they no squat and the best of them knows a tenth
of what the manager knows.

add ALF to that list
