Hugo Rodallega

I thought Changy was the elephant, man.

Hes about as accurate as a drunk elephant with a pellet gun with his predictions tbf.

The elephant in the room, whatever that means.

Dunno, maybe cos theyre paid to make up their bullsh*t??

Which was kinda the point i was making mate ;-)

I was just clarifying for those less fortunate than ourselves...

Been getting a couple of PMs from people saying sorry they doubted me and it looks like i was right all along re: Pranjic + Rodallega. Not going to name them as they obviously want to keep it private, but thanks its appreciated. You know who you are

Didn't know ya ma and ya da were on here??

Tbf EB's post has kinda put me off... A 1 in 4 striker at best pretty much. Maybe he score more with better players around him, but he'd also have a reduced role. Hmmm. Tough call. Tho tbh an improvement on most of our backup strikers, so....

Shouldnt really judge ROddaleega on the last season or so. He's been played on teh wing, not upfront...

Wigan fans i play footy with said he's ok outwide but he's a striker, and he hasnt been played there for some time.

I for one think he'd be an 'interesting' signing....however reminds me a bit of Jo.

Playing him behind Jelavic I think would be a good idea -- in fact I thought he was taller but is only 5'11....deceptive.

Would be a typical Moyes type signing and I think if we did get him it would be for 1-2 seasons before selling him on for decent money.


However, if he goes to Fulham i'll be happy for Changy. Those hours spent searching everyone on Twitter and reading every online newspaper for info will have paid off.....he wouldn't really be ITK but I like to think it would bring him closer to everyones hearts.

I think he has something to prove, and players with something to prove are the ones Moyes gets the best out of.

I want my Hot Rod FFS

 

[Basil Fawlty]

If he does as much running as Saha used to do I'm calling him Rod the plod.

i would be well upset if he didnt come, he can do the spectacular, which is something you need from strikers on your bench, i.e. 0-0 at home to a norwich, bring him on he'll offer something new then bang, 3 points in the bag. it is probable that if he doesnt come, we will have to pay a fee for a striker and i cant think of too many that are out of favour within our price range which will be good. john merro thinks we're still favourites, all that's happened is he's come to us and fulham and had a look round at both. here's hoping that he doenst choose that old tin pot stadium over our old-fantasy like stadium. think of the monday night game against united for your debut, come off the bench for 15 mins and slot the winner, we'll take to him straight away

 

[toffeejack]

also it was quoted he has a season to prove himself and if he doesnt impress he'll be off ala beckford, there is no harm in giving the boy a chance, reassess in jan and look for a good loan striekr if it doesnt work and then get rid and readress with the money gained from rod's sale in the summer.

 

[ianefc]

He also said Pranjic + Pienaar are signing this week. Weve bid for Tom Ince + Weiss and would use the Baines money on Donovan +_ Dempsey.

He lives in a fantasy world of bunny rabbits and hobbits carrying fudge

feel a bit sorry for that @johnmerro or whatever it is because i dont think he is claiming to be sourced as on twitter he openly can be seen tweeting fourthofficial asking questions like are we signing this that and the other. no itk would do that, anyone who has a source wouldnt reveal it either

He says he's not ITK and if I'm not wrong, he says he knows someone involved in marketing at Everton so he hears things from him/her but he's not privy to the exact details of a lot of things. Seems like a sound lad though

he constantly states he is not itk, i keep quoting him because he provides a lot of useful info and does seem to have some god links

This is the greatest misspelling of all time.

Hang on, so because deals arent confirmed STRAIGHT away that definitely means we aint signing them. Wow. Just. Wow.
