Anyone else think Aribo will be our best transfer business ever?

Disnae come close to the Fox in the Box.

Kent could be our best transfer business this season.

Rod Wallace on a free must be up there 

Loved wee rod. What a finisher.  Don't know if I'd say underrated cos I've not really spoke to anyone who didn't rate him  but maybe not remembered as highly as he should

When he had time to think about it he was not so clever, but acting on instinct he could lash them home, great wee player.

Mark Hateley. You couldn't get further if you tried for a player to be described an instant success. 

That was back in the day when I never missed a game and for virtually a whole season to a man the support wanted him benched. He was awful. 

Then the day he scored those goals against the sheep at Ibrox to win the league he became a star for us not just that day but almost every game after. 

Closest we have had since to this type of player was Prso 

Big man used to take a bit of abuse, people making donkey noises when he touched the ball etc 

Turned it around  spectacularly though with they goals against the sheep.  People always talk about him being great in the air but he also had a fair burst of pace that mostly goes unmentioned. Great player.

I csnt remember the donkey noises. Was always in the enclosure or an away end pished though 

But your right about the pace. Remember a goal he scored away against the sheep. Almost identical to the goal Windass scored against the taigs last year. 

The guy after his first season was a machine

I don't remember ever going to Broomfield. But I know for a fact iv been there at least 3 times 😂😂

Back in those days it wasn't uncommon for me to have to check the Sunday papers to get the score of the game I had been too 😂

Broomfield was a shit hole, remember climbing up a grass hill to get to the terracing 

Edited my post mate, it wasn’t at Broomfield, after a quick check I see we never played Airdrie that season.  😆

I can confirm this also. Being one of the guilty parties.  

I remember one game at Ibrox v's Motherwell. I'd just finished giving him dogs abuse when someone passed him the ball close to the left byline.....30 yards out or so. Think it bounced once and he looked up, leathered it....straight into the onion bag. I swear that was the moment it started turning for him. I just remember after him scoring, me saying "Aye, Hateley, what a player!" and getting dogs abuse from just about everyone in the West Enclosure.

In recent years he definitely is best business we’ve done,I know it’s early days but you can just tell the guy is class  it’s plain to see.

we are going to make big money on him when he does eventually leave

Aye that's true. Dunno if you seen boyds interview about retiring, pretty much saying that kinda striker is dying out in the modern game.

By far the best. Was he not a free then sold 6 months later for £10m

think it was about 3 month lol

[KeyserSoze 14,582]

We should wait to see how Aribo fares against proper opposition 

 

then answer the OP’s question 

 

[berkshirebear 2,771]

Some people are getting carried a wee bit carried away.... 

[A.T.G 10,773]

@pcbear bookmark this and if he goes for £20m then you can ram it down their throats

if no delete and deny

Ejaria? Coulibally or a few others ive seen last few seasons early on

[Sub Genius 33]

Tall order.

Gough, Wilkins, Steven, Jelavic, Morelos - he has some way to go if he’s to beat that lot.

A couple of years from now and we’re selling him for 20 million quid,  you might have a point, until then . . .

Completely different you can just see the guy has class hence all the clubs that were interested in him unlike the 2 you mentioned.

Not at all, in fact u could argue ejaria came to us higher rated than aribo and rossiter certainly did.  Point being i shall wait until he has played a handful of meaningful and competitive games vs the better and more physical teams in the league before proclaiming how amazing he is

No they didn’t and I don’t know where you are getting that from aribo was much higher rated by the fact all the teams that wanted him.

i never said he was amazing just saying for 300 grand he looks a absolute steal,let’s have this conversation in 3 months and you will then see I was right.
