Strange days. Ennis said during his Rovers TV interview that he met with JDT and GB. Plus given JDT's comments and GB's comments about JDT having the final say on whether a player join or not 48 minutes ago, matt83 said: Can you imagine signing tugay and we made the existing players so something daft like play pass the parcel to ultimately reveal - We’ve signed tugay. No. It’s fucking stupid and anyone young or old that gets on board with this is a moron. the video was something different and aiming at people who used social media alot more than some people on here do. no one should be called a moron Matt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main reason this video is a bit cringe is the player in question is a freebie from League One, and we already knew about it hours before the announcement. If it was a genuine surprise and a marquee signing, I'd understand building some 'suspense'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point remains if anyone condones or even likes this embarrassing way to announce any player signing you’re a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fairly unknown foreign player who’d briefly been at Rangers signed for a relatively small fee wasn’t going to get the fanbase buzzing - but it wasn’t ‘unpopular’ either.

It was unpopular with me, stopped us signing Berkovic! Glad to be wrong on that one I was also gutted when we signed Shearer because it meant the end for Speedie! Maybe I should be disappointed more often 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
