Agogoing...?

[Streaky]

In the Echo tonight it mentions that Ron is interested in signing a striker and he wants to come to Roots Hall (who's already got a contract elsewhere) but confirmed it wont be Junior Agogo.

Wise decision me thinks.

Why? Agogo is a very good player.

 

[BoyWonder2]

A lot of Bristol Rovers' fans have labelled him extremely lazy and only turns in on in occassions. Think, Tes Bramble, but with more ability.

Would have been a decent signing, a Agogo and Eastwood partnership would have been good if Tilly could get the best out of Agogo.

So, who do we think this forward is? Holt?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I doubt its Holt or Agogo...

If I remember correctly Brushy said they want someone with experience of playing at this level?

Boere?

One suspects that Tilly has a better eye for a player than that...

One would also hope Tilly has a better eye for a player than THAT too!

Quite frankly it could be anyone. If he is looking for someone under contract but available and who has played in L1 before then Luke Beckett does fit that criteria. I heard he wanted to stay in the Championship but apparently thats not true, he was keen on a move to Oldham but their bid was rejected. Personally I'd rather have Beckett than Grant Holt any day. I did see this morning however that Warnock has offered LB to Mansfield plus £150k though for Alex John-Baptiste so IF he is the man Tilly is thinking of he'll have to hope Mansfield reject the bid or Beckett won't drop down 2 divisions.

Oldham's bid for Beckett was £150k and was turned down. If (and thats a massive "if") we are going to pay that amount for a player I'd imagine it would be for someone substantially younger than him.

Much as I'd love to see Luke Beckett play for Southend, its not going to happen.
