Their are still at it, now 10 pages long !
As I have said before any shred of evidence to back up this unsubstantiated nonsense?

 

Usual pre season speculation by a bunch of dullards - leave them to it, am only interested i who Adams ACTUALLY does sign.

Whats happened to Akpa-Akpro? Imagine AAs daughter marrying Porkyfenwa's son and insisting she keeps her surname as well.
Akinfenwa-Akpa-Akpro
Need some huge shirt for that name - or abbreviate it to???

If we had that kind of money signing up O'Connor again would be no trouble


Another doing the rounds is Richard Chaplow

one of the most injury prone players around is chaplow so i expect the signing to be confirmed soon.

All current rumours is representative of Brent's likely bargain bucket budget.

If we are in the market for ex players. How about Oliver Norburn and River Allen? Two players I believe weren't given a proper chance and in the Brent budget.

Norburn was crap and was a panic buy if anything due to Hourihane leaving and no replacement of his ilk linedup. Allen could have been given another year i feel seeing as now we do have reserve team football so he will get plenty of game time to show what he can do as can so many others.

I was thinking about the Hourihane (lack of) replacement fiasco earlier actually. Obviously it was a struggle/flop due to lack of budgetary reinvestment, but also many used the excuse that the club had a lack of time to sort it out given it wasn't expected Hourihane would leave. However it was a year ago last week that Hourihane left. So our first signing of the summer this year has actually come later than when Hourihane left last summer. So does the time excuse not stand up for last season, or are we not acting quick enough this summer?

Brenty bargain basement signing if ever there was, 13 clubs ffs? there's got to something wrong somewhere.Is this all Brents Budget will allow ?

Give te guy a break FFS .. and a chance. His scoring rate is better than Trigger who is a legend. Welcome to Argyle young man - debut goal please.

Lol Tigger rekons Jake 13 clubs is better than Trigger! This guy is not a promotion squad signing, more of a its all we can get signing... unimpressed.

I'll like to see how he does but he is no way a marquee signing that can spark the fans excitement.

He knows Adams and Adams knows him.


Hope the guy puts the ball in the net, that is all i care about tbh.

At Ross County his stats are 28 played (league), goals 4.

He may be useful in the box as RR will be able to feed off his scraps.

We can't judge the guy until 10-15 games in. He may turn out to be better than MM was.

he knew him for a few weeks then left the club lets have some perspective here.

If Jimmy sells Roobs and that could well happen where are the goals going to come from? Jake if he stays and plays is never going to get more than ten or so in a season the same with Ryan brunt, nobody in midfield scores on a regular basis so who is going to stick em in the onion bag?

Lol - SS68 doesn't understand. Lol
All I said was ''Jakes scoring rate is better than Trigger'' - nothing more nothing less - simples really. C'mon SS68 time for cocoa and slippers.

Norris's USP was his stamina, his selflessness and his work rate, rather than technical skill. I'm not sure he's still got that at 34. It would be awful to see him come back and struggle.

Also worth emphasise with the point someone touched on above. McHugh is a very good centre-back at this level, and a dreadful left-back. At the start of the season he was a liability until he was moved into the left of the 3 CBs.

Sounds like a great signing, winger, 24 years old, played for Rangers.

Another goal shy scorer. We're going to be great to watch next season!
