graeme_4 34,672 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I like Roofe. He's a talented footballer, and he’s scored crucial goals in Europe as well as playing a big part in the 55 season. Under no circumstances does he ever get a new deal though. Made of weetabix and paid far too much for someone so unreliable.

Dessers’s confidence is utterly shot. The longer he underperforms in the run-in the worse it will get. What gives you that impression about PC?

Everyone apart from you can see that the problem we have is that he's out injured more often than he isn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,300 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 14 hours ago, BigDak said: I was sure I saw his stats last week that he has either scored or assisted (and in that number it's mostly scored) a goal every two games he's played. He'd only played like 90 odd games and missed 60 odd in his time here. Yeah, that’s his career stats, though. They bear no resemblance to the player he is today.

I’m aware that Roofe is broken and I’m trying to rationalize why they would extend him. I’m convinced this is about Dessers and the run in.

He's not going to suddenly become a better player because a permanently injured player who is much better than him gets an extension. If anything I reckon what it tells Dessers is that you can be a guy who can't be depended on here and still get a new deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Prso's headband 35,583 Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 Some of our fans would just sign all our players forever just because. The guy has taken the best part of 6 million in wages out of us and has played in 26 games in two seasons and you’ve still crackpots wanting to sign him up. alibali59, Negri's lovechild, nik2402 and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nik2402 1,322 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Genuinely find it staggering there’s people in our support that even consider starting him in games. Dessers isn’t the answer but at least he is durable, Roofe can come on last 15-20 if needed. And do you know what makes the Roofe argument worse, he’s been fucking shite whenever he’s played for a long time. Wouldn’t rule out him nicking a couple of goals between now and May but get him binned in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we were being treated to the Cyriel and Sam show up top under Beale at that time. Roddy Grant might have felt like an improvement. tbh he looks like he's lost a yard of pace this time. nik2402 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
