“Hard to know much about Kargbo” 

>proceeds to post everything bad Kargbo has done 

You don’t think this poster trolls?

In the same amount of time Kargbo has also beat two men and drove the ball into the box - three silly errors, three good pieces of play. Which do you focus on? 
Looks a decent player to me. Another decent spot for our recruitment team, who again play this game with their hands tied behind their backs 

I don't think he can be put down as a "decent spot" by any means yet. He has not scored for us and only has set up one with a nice bit of play, obviously because he got injured so soon and missed much of the remainder of the season.

For clarity, he isn't a waste of money yet either.

Based on the glimpses we have seen, he is incredibly quick but very raw too. But comparing to Dolan, he has proved to be our most effective wide player and a very capable Championship standard player, so that is the standard.

I like Kargbo but think he's still raw. I reckon he still needs a few games to bed himself in.
But like you said he's shown attributes that Dolan doesn't have...pace and directness.
Kargbo will have to do a lot, to better Dolan work rate though.

O’Riordan To Donny - Good loan for him that.

Best move for the lad is out of Rovers permanently and get back what we can for him.

O’Riordan has been a bizarre signing, I don’t think I have ever seen him play a game for us and we spent decent money (for us) on him.

Totally bizarre - seen him play twice and left with multiple lacerations following feverish head scratching.

Agreed, only positive is that he’s still young enough and could improve. League 1 will be a test for him. Hopefully he can hold his own 

The lads not got it.  With 70+ appearances with Crewe and at 21 should be showing so much more.  Bombed on loan at Cambridge - says it all.

Broughton bought him and it seemed neither JDT or Eustace fancied him. Normally that'd be a damning indictment because they see him in training every day, but both managers also consistently started Calamity so they're not infallible.

He's come on twice as a sub.

Posted on here before, told Eustace didn't fancy him at all.

Well there we go, Derby signing Patrick Agyemang will take their spending to over £4million with 2 months of the window left!

Is Poku proven at Championship level you ask.

Are De Neve and Tavares proven at Championship level?

I would bet my house that of those 3 players Poku will have by far the biggest impact this season.

Scouts - so what???  We signed Brian Kidd from Man U as manager and he proved shite and we signed David Goodwillie from Dundee United and he was also shite so haven't a feckin clue where you are coming from on our newly 'signed scouts'.

and he's just about to sign Agyemang from MLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You really must be having a bad day at the office Chaddy!

Read that his senior record is 1 goal in 2.5 games (almost 20 goals in a Championship season!!!)

Think Agyemang and Morris will be a real handful for defences - a partnership with a great physical presence.  Miles better than anything we have or even likely to have.

Why is it you rubbish all players other Championship clubs sign but 'big up' the rubbish Rovers sign!?!?

 

This was you….i get the concern but not everybody can just be written off

Tronstad was a cheap option was he not? Turned out pretty well. No way of knowing right now how good or bad Tavares will be for us without having seen him kick a ball.

Difference being he had fallen out with his manager and had just been regularly playing in the Europa League for Vitesse.

Wrong there several points

Wasn't a comment on his ability, was just pointing out that it isn't a domestic deal.

The growing narrative seems to be almost as if Eustace would have a full team of English pensioners if he could.

The fee will be far more than we would spend here.

Ok fair enough

Never said that but he does prefer experience people. Think Morris is a good signing. 

We see. You didn't think we would any signings yet in but we had 2 signings in and hopefully a third in shortly
