Current Player Thread Ruben Roosken

Currently out of the UK and watched his debut online without previously having read any of this - personally I thought it was a pretty good debut from the Rooster. Given how much we were on the back foot, he did his best to get forward when he could, looked athletic and seemed to have a decent left foot. He and Currie would seem to present two good options.

 

[Shaun Rice]

Looked very good in a short debut. If he can do that for 90 minutes, we’ve got us a player!

His debut was against Coventry where he did well for 86 minutes.

Is he injured atm?

 

[Marked Ox]

Is he injured atm?

Don't think so. Just don't think he can get in the matchday squad at the moment.

 

[Jaboysmith]

Signed permanently now according to the Dub

 

[The Mighty Aldo]

Seems very odd to me, if he can’t get in the match day squad, he isn’t good enough unless the club know Currie is off

I suppose it’s two things, we don’t want 4 full backs in the match day squad so he misses out and you are probably right in Currie being off in the summer, we need a sale for the financial rules I should think.

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

No The dub also said he's a slow bake

 

[Steve Gilbert]

It's worth pointing out that not every player a club signs in the January window is for the here and now, some are signed to get them over another club with a plan to have them as a regular further down the line.

What is he? A lamb casserole?

Just hope he's not in the Crockpot

He isn't for this year, but they seem huge growth potential in him, and they got him before someone else in the summer.

I'm not sure he will be that keen to stay here, if he is not playing at all.

He’s the reserve left back, not likely to take Curries place right now. I’m sure he’s aware of that.

He would have known he was a long term project signing when he joined than for right away.

He must be happy or he wouldn't have signed

What the f*ck are you lot on about?

Roosken is 26 years old. Fully fit. And nowhere near our matchday squad. Having struggled to hold down a place at a mid-table League One outfit.

Currie is 23. Spencer is 21.

And you're out here calling Roosken a development signing.

LMFAO.

He is more of a replacement signing for Currie, we won’t have to be overcharged replacing Currie once we sell him for millions in the summer.

Whatever division we are in, barring a bad injury, Roosken is a strange signing if Currie is still here next season, I think, barring that injury again, that’s very unlikely.

Whether it will all work out we don’t know yet but at least the club are actually forward planning.

 

[battman]

We need a squad of players, and if KR’s spell taught us anything, it’s that we need more than one left back at the club.

Not everyone’s going to get into the match day squad every week, and just because they miss out for a spell, it doesn’t mean they’re not good enough

 

[SirAndyOfCrosby]

Louie Sibley is the replacement signing for Cameron Brannagan.

I am clever. And so is my recruitment team.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Good signing. Hasn't put a foot wrong on the pitch for at least a month now.

 

[Followtheox1]

Not convinced. At his age I'm sure he came into challenge for a place. Fact is our current right backs have played on that side of the pitch ahead of him.

 

[southcoastyellow]

Another Ed Waldron masterpiece, why we didn’t continue with Greg Leigh until the end on the season, who offers a goal threat is beyond me.

As is adding Ter Avest to the squad for one game and then not naming him since..

Whatever division we end up in next year we really need to improve our football leadership in the summer.

Out of interest, how do you blame Waldron?
It sounds as if Leigh was on the way out and presumably Bloomfield didn't fancy him.

I blame Waldron based on a very poor record over the past two seasons.

So no real reason then

 

[Yellows1]

There certainly has been some odd signings, Prelec is another one, he hasn’t set the world alight, doesn’t strike me as a player who will ‘bust a fit’ for the cause.
