True tony, according to his twitter account quote " Buzzing to join RUFC on loan lets get some game time, points and goals. Can`t wait to join the boys and get started "......should be ready for the Derby County home game...lol.
Still in rehab at Norwich last week hopefully he will arrive sometime this week.

He was injured 13th January, depending how bad the injury was he shouldn`t be far off recovery, then it`s down to training time.

JV has put some meat on the bones on another thread

Just when we thought things couldn't get more farcical.

Super computer seems a great success.

So our academy say he's a striker, his agent says he's a full back/midfielder so I'm guessing he's a multi or someone doesn't know their player ;D

I've watched this lad at our academy games he's around 6'3 now I'd say, looks pretty dominant at that level think he's scored 8 goals I've counted and probably could half that figure for assists. He's defo a striker looks as if he's one for next season, considering where we stand. Hopefully the sign of some young blood being installed to build upon. I'd reckon the lad to renew when the other pros are decided. The Irish lad Reece Mcginley also looks class at this level, rumoured both are training with the first team.

If you spot one tell the nearest policeman.

BTW. Our new signing's Millers shirt, looks like a recycled one of Alan Stubbs and somebody has tried to cover the AS with black marker pen.
