Fair play to him, he must have done well there so I wish him well. That could be a move that suits everyone - let’s see.

Buy one get one free we’ll throw in Kightly for nothing.

What if Hopper is not fit to start season?

And Dieng! Can’t say fairer than that. Only slightly bomb damaged the pair of them, but finest quality made in Taiwan. Lovely jubbly.

 

[Richard Hearn]

I certainly won't begrudge him the move.

 

[Chrisb]

Good news for Theo and for us I think - well done to him.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

What if Hopper is not fit to start season?

They are different types. We do need a striker with genuine pace, but it didn’t seem to work out for Theo consistently enough while he was with us this time - but that may not be his fault. He did well at the back end of last season, and let’s nor forget our midfield went missing for almost the whole of this season. It’s a shame but it does happen a lot in football it seems. If he’s happy at Swindon it looks a good move for him - they should make a better fist of challenging next year.

If Hopper is not fit we need backup though . Remember?

 

[stewart]

good luck to him and plenty of time to get another striker in if Hopper not ready

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Would a fee be involved ( Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooo still under contract)?

 

[blue pilot]

The only fee involved will probably be agent's fees. You very rarely see players moving for a fee between lower league clubs these days, usually a case of if Swindon & Theo can agree terms and we'll probably agree to cancel the remainder of his contract. Good luck to him and hopefully frees up some funds for our wage bill for a new signing.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Ok ta, thought as much....good luck Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoo...

 

[OldBlueLady]

There may be a nominal fee as Theo is still under contract. I wouldn't begrudge him it in the slightest, lovely bloke with a young family, deserves to be playing where he can and, if he's not in our first team plans at present then he goes with my thanks.

 

[Oakley1]

Good luck to him

 

[Barling Magna]

Theo was treated very badly by a section of our fans, and most unfairly. He may not be the most naturally gifted footballer but he always gave 100% when some around him failed to do so. He was able to scare opposition defenders by his pace and as a result created space for Cox. If we had had him in the team since Christmas I think we would have gained more than the 50 points that we ended up with. He'll score 20 goals for Swindon next season.

 

[ms brush]

Would thank Theo for all the dedication he gave us, and that hat trick! I am genuinely sorry at the prospect of him going permanently, but he does deserve a first team place as he has a lot to offer. Shame it hasn't really worked out here, our awol midfield all of this season didn't help the situation, and a small section of our 'fans' were really horrible towards him, undeservedly. I would like to think that our new manager, whoever he is, will do what is best for us and for him, hopefully it will mean Theo stays, but if it doesn't, Theo, thank you and all the best of luck.

 

[Mad Cyril]

A good move for him apart from having to move closer to Swindon.

Wouldn't say he's a 20-goal striker but if he was a regular he would almost guarantee you 10-15 goals at this level because off the ball he is excellent and he creates a lot of chances. He makes very good runs, stretches the play, and never gives defenders a moment's peace.

I would be absolutely fine if he stayed, but the problem is he'd likely be fourth choice again because unfortunately he just doesn't have the ability on the ball that the other three have. At his age he should be playing regularly and Swindon seems a good fit for him, he got 7 in 16 there which is an excellent strike rate.

He gets a lot of unfair stick, if he leaves the very best of luck to him and in an ideal world I'd like to see him replaced with a promising youngish forward, perhaps from non-league with similar attributes of pace and strength. Obviously there are about 60 other league clubs looking for the same thing though so might not be as simple as that.
