taintedtom2000 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Confirmed on SSN, suggests to me that we have our target primed to be revealed, with other supposed targets going elsewhere and Chris Martin being shipped out I think Roeder has his man!!! But who is he?! Hmmmm very exiting I have to say!! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 8, 2008 i cant understand why we didnt sign him? roeder spoke highly of him when he came then got injured straight away. would have thought he would have wanted him here again and a deal sorted when he returned to full fitness? hope it isnt a case of barnsley showing more ambition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macdougalls perm 0 Posted August 8, 2008 [quote user="Lord Snooty"][quote user="cambscanary"] Lets have alook at what we could''ve wonhttp://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_3949132,00.html [/quote] Ha ha ha - I rest my case.[/quote]All this suggests to me is that Roeder has another target in the pipeline and that he doesn''t want Rigters now. Would he have sent Martin on loan if he didn''t have a striker lined up. And ... do we need another loan signing (he ventured mischieviously [;)]).Ho ho ho - I shouldn''t rest that case just yet.

Time to go Delia 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Radio Norfolk said at 1pm Roeder had admitted defeat in getting a striker in before the start of the season so no point everybody hanging around here expecting an announcement anytime soon . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted August 8, 2008 Getting excited over an ujnproven premiership reserve player is just silly.. we all got excited over Jimmy Smith once... now we will just how good (or even bad) Rigters really isjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger Pie 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Surely we must have had the chance to sign him if little old Barnsley have. I''m assuming it was a choice of 2 out of Rigters, Komora & Lupoli.Are people happy with Glenn''s choice if that is the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyJR 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Shame that one, I thought he would have been an excellent acquisition.Barnsley have completed the signing of striker Maceo Rigters on a season-long loan from Premier League side Blackburn Rovers.The24-year-old Dutchman will be available to make his Barnsley debut atLoftus Road tomorrow for the opening day of the 2008/2009 Coca ColaChampionship campaign.Rigters won the European U21 ChampionshipGolden Boot award in 2007 after bagging four goals in five games forHolland. His impressive show for the U21`s caught the eye of formerBlackburn boss Mark Hughes, who brought Rigters to the Lancashire club.Daveystated he was close to signing a striker last Friday but the deal washalted, but now Simon has his man so the squad`s attacking options havebeen boosted. It will be interesting to see which front two Davey optsfor with Macken, Hume, Odejayi, Mostto and Rigters in contention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted August 8, 2008 was it him roeder said he missed out on ?hes just below 6 ft, big built and strong ?cant see how we would miss out to them though, unless we wanted a permanant transfer and they only wanted to loan him ?

O.T.B.C 1 Posted August 8, 2008 I doubt GR would have gone for him plus all the other strikers we have, although slightly bigber, he is still in the same mould as Lupo. I think he would have done well, but I think we have some better players I''e Lupo and Hoolahoop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
