I'm told by my very reliable source we r touting roofe to English championship.

Norwich, Watford West Brom Huddersfield interested.

Good, done with him. Good player but an injury wreck. Thanks for this info John. One we didn't know.

Hopefully John good player but injured far to regular.


3.) 08 Jul 2022

Hopefully we get a bid for him technically gifted player but far to many injuries for me especially if reports of £35k a week are true .

Said before roofe stats when playing are good but missing too much football with injury, wouldn’t be adverse to him leaving freeing up wages and maybe get some money back on him to invest in squad.

Perhaps john that would then pave the way for. stewart.

Be a good move by the club to offload Roofe. Don't think we would be hard to deal with.


7.) 08 Jul 2022

Him and jack both need to go.


8.) 08 Jul 2022

We seem at times to be the only idiots around who buy injury prone players to huge deals then can't get rid.


9.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 13:42:03
Thanks for the info John. Any idea if it's a loan or transfer? I'm a big fan of Roofe, think he offers something different, but unfortunately he just can't stay fit. Hopefully we can get a decent fee for him.

I would cash in if we can helander jack and roofe would be 3 I would move on due to their injury records.


11.) 08 Jul 2022

That would be a great piece of business if we could find a new home for Kemar. Top class striker when he plays. The team would miss him after spending so much time together (medical team) .


12.) 08 Jul 2022

Would be happy with that. Ferguson seems like it will happen. If so, we trust Gio. He’s the manager, his call. If he rates him, then fine. Would like to see him exploit the Dutch market that he knows too though. Must be some value there. Sign first team ready players. Coki and Lawrence are great signings in my opinion.

I was thinking today roofes days are numbered the only problem is who would sign him with his injury record.
Fantastic player and great numbers but not worth what he cost us and is costing us.
How long does he have left on contract?
Could we just agree to terminate it and move on.


14.) 08 Jul 2022

Transfer, true blue. Figure being mentioned is 2.7 plus add ons

Stewart I’m told not in equation.


15.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 14:20:01
Unfortunately him, Jack ans Helander are far too injury prone. Getting them moved on and getting suitable replacements in needed. Last season's injuries cost us both the league and Europa.


16.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 14:25:56
John25,how much do you reckon we would accept for roofe mate ?.


17.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 14:41:46
That would be a fantastic peace of business John, I like Roofe but he simply isn’t fit regularly enough for me.


18.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 14:44:00
£2.7 bite their hand off! I like Roofe but cannot stay injury free. Shame really but you get these players. Need to offload and replace with another.


19.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 14:46:30
£2.7 for Roofe and £2.5 for Ferguson seems to be they way we are working at the moment sell one buy one spend no money ?.


20.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:12:38
Nice guy but if we could get him off the wage bill his 35k a week switched straight over to Lawrence wage bill stays the same, only thing we would then need to get another striker in with only morelos and Colak, Gio from what I've read doesn't see Sakala as a striking option.


21.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:13:40
2 blue given what we r paying Lawrence over four years no wonder we r not paying major transfer fees.

Wait to see what Alf, kent, Jack et al will be wanting.


22.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:16:58
He can't sign anywhere if he's injured sadly.


23.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:50:37
Rfcrb, I think we r finally fed up with so many minor injuries, very strange I’m told that we did not take him to Portugal, to be with physios and do gym work

I think many see him as a hypochondriac.


24.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:54:20
Hope he goes.


25.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:56:49
He can sign anytime he wants. Tjrfc if we let them talk to them, it’s for them to assess him in medical.


26.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 15:57:29
Cheers John. That's much more than I thought we would be able to get (although I guess a fair price for a proven championship player) . Good luck to him if he goes. I assume we would look to get another striker in if he goes?

Any idea on the plan for Alegria this coming season?


27.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 16:15:34
@John25 it's interesting with Roofe I had heard that some think it may be mental more than physical with him at times, so as you say he's perhaps considered a hypochondriac, he has had physical injures that can be seen but at other times they are niggles that another player would play through.


28.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 17:15:41
I will be absolutely delighted if we are able to offload Roofe. He is a quality player when fit but that is the problem, he is seldom fit. If we can get £2.75m for him that would be remarkable and we would also take the best part of £2m a year out of our wage costs. So long as we can sign Alfie on a new contrac, that would be a brilliant piece of business!


29.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 17:42:29
If roofe stayed fit I think he would keep alfrado out the team he would score 25 plus goals each season sadly never going to be fit enough to do that colak is very similar to roofe in that he’s a clinic striker think we will spend 500/ 1million buying a young promising striker as no 3.


30.) 08 Jul 2022
08 Jul 2022 18:13:38
He wouldn’t keep Alfredo out team if fit Alfredo brings so much more than what roofe does.

True blue 85. Alegria appears to be another one who is in hiding.


32.) 08 Jul 2022

Pity about his injury issues, think he would have been a sensational player if he could manage an entire season without injury - will thank him for his service and for scoring the best goal I’ve ever seen (rangers and all other teams) .
