Is this dodoo guy really the mystery striker that MW has been hiding from us? Ok I'll be the first to admit I have never heard of him but if he signs then I'll give him my full support but I was just expecting something a little bit more exciting.

13 Jul 2016 00:17:46
Surely we will be on the lookout for a out and out striker because dodoo is more of a winger.

13 Jul 2016 05:52:29
Thierry Henry was just a winger going nowhere till he got pushed through the middle at Arsenal.

You never know?

Onward and upward.

13 Jul 2016 06:01:11
Dodoo is an exciting young talent and would not turn my nose up at him. he's exactly what the hat likes a fluent technically gifted versatile footballer who potentially could be a diamond in the rough and if we do sign him could be sold on for a profit down the line. capped at england youth level like rossiter and was on the fringes like rossiter but people not slamming that signing and dodoo was playing for the champions.

13 Jul 2016 08:52:24
I work in Leicester and amongst a lot of LCFC season ticket holders. They say Dodoo is a fantastic young player and can play across the front line and has an eye for goal. MW and FMP know the youth market and I think may have captured us some great youngsters that will fit in straight away ie: Rossister and potentially Dodoo.

13 Jul 2016 10:36:04
The striker we're all wanting could already be at the club. Ryan hardie.

13 Jul 2016 10:42:45
doesn ranieri not want5 him to go to the championship though I think this may be a loan deal.

13 Jul 2016 11:35:02
Think hardie should go out on loan agin.

13 Jul 2016 11:49:53
Delboy I agree mate would rather see Hardie get a chance than Dodoo if it's a loan. If it's permanent though I'd be delighted the boy looks a star in the making. Still think the best thing for Hardie if we do bring in other strikers would be to go to a SPFL team and see how he does at this level. I'm sure he'll score anyway, seems to have done it at every other level he's been faced with.

13 Jul 2016 13:03:11
Perhaps Hardie isn't up to it, from what I've been told ( some inside info ) last season the feeling was that the youth is not up to scratch and no-one is really in with a shout of the first team, only when the squad was thin were they on the bench, otherwise not the standard required is the feeling. This may have included Hardie.

13 Jul 2016 14:02:51
Look at McKay though, he wasn't even the pick of the bunch. A blind man on horse back could see that Hardie is going to be a player. If we let him leave mark my words he will be the next Ross Mcmormack, worth millions.

13 Jul 2016 15:58:19
I agree with Delboy9. If Hardie puts on a little muscle, I reckon he could be one of the most promising strikers to come through our system in the past 10 years.

13 Jul 2016 19:37:56
Completely agree recbob- i'd have him on a 10 year contract but would love to see him go on loan to a premier league side like Inverness or St Johnstone for experience. Wouldn't want him playing at a lower level than that.

14 Jul 2016 12:33:58
Dodoo would be great if we can get him we badly need another striker, hardie looks like a good prospect but seems to be better on the break rather than the intricate game we play, was very poor against charlston, I know it was first game but was completely anonymous compared to everyone else in the team, same as when he had a couple of sub appearances last year. jury's out but think another short loan would be good for the lad.

12 Jul 2016 18:22:54
Just seen on stv news that Joe dodoo, promising Leicester city winger, has been training for with the club for the last few days.

12 Jul 2016 18:59:00
What doesn´t make sense is we are looking at a loan deal supposedly yet he is out of contract? How can you loan a player who doesn´t belong to anyone? More nonsense from the media maybe?

Either way, I´m all for bringing in young talent but if this is the player brought in as the backup striker, I am not too excited.

12 Jul 2016 19:06:34
Dodoo contract has expired tho is expected to sign a new deal with Leicester and just minor adjustments before he signs. MW has jumped the queue in trying to get him on loan tho could he tempt him on a perm deal?

12 Jul 2016 20:09:56
Thats exactly it Scotty 123,couldn't have put it any better myself, leicester and ranieri rate young dodoo very highly, could be a great piece of business even though its most likely to be a season long loan deal, that's if we can fend off the championship clubs that are also wanting to sign him on loan.

13 Jul 2016 13:15:53
Yes a win win situation the lad a free agent but we couldn't compete with the clubs down south. This way we pay a percentage of his wage.

12 Jul 2016 17:32:16
Anyone else hearing the RVP rumour?

12 Jul 2016 17:57:49
Its been doing the rounds for a couple of weeks now.

Someone is having a laugh, its QPR that are after him. Unfortunately not us.

12 Jul 2016 18:01:50
It's been floating around for weeks. Absolute non starter. About as ridiculous as people saying Zlatan was going to Celtic.

12 Jul 2016 18:10:54
If we sign rvp I'll eat my skoda superb, I would love to be eating my superb truth be told, won't happen, no chance but I'd absolutely love it to happen like every bear out there!

12 Jul 2016 18:57:47
W15. Class post!

12 Jul 2016 22:36:17
Would be a great bit of business but even 1/ 8th of his wages would be to much for us.

12 Jul 2016 11:05:25
Anybody else of the opinion that yesterday's Callaway day at Ibrox may be forerunner to some form of sponsorship deal?

12 Jul 2016 11:47:14
they do target comps an all diff golf events etc every open were ever it played prob just in glasgow yesterday biggest town from troon an promote the open.

12 Jul 2016 12:21:26
extremely unlikely.

12 Jul 2016 13:16:09
callaway I think they stick to golf deals mate just a wee tourne.

12 Jul 2016 15:14:56
Probably got something to do with the golf day when you can play with the players.

12 Jul 2016 23:41:22
Well there must be money in it some way or another.

With Barton at the club he brings with him Martketability we may begin to see a bit more of these sorts of events to since we aren't making money from our retail we need to think outside of the box.

Yes I believe we will try for some sort of sponsorship but until the retail deal is sorted it won't be anywhere near the kit. Maybe Ibrox, the website or something along those lines.

12 Jul 2016 23:41:00
There's always room for sponsoring or investment that will all come back especially when we r back in the champions league.

12 Jul 2016 23:36:28
Callaway will be our next sponsor. They have decided to give up on golf and have targeted the lucrative Scottish football market. Apparently they will give us a 1billion per season deal.

Seriously, golf company, the open, ibrox just being used as a venue, nothing more in it than that.

13 Jul 2016 12:32:20
well said mr nice lol this was booked as an event at ibrox more than a year ago can't remember where I saw it but callaway will not be sponsoring us lol .

I do think our next sponsor will be a big one with a record breaking deal for the club after the 330 million people that watched us play the smeltic aff the park.
