Are you really happy with the signings

[PerigordMiller]

Why does everything have to be about PW?
Why don't you just say, I never liked PW. Leave it at that.
Fecking worse than Gru on a bad day.

Maybe there’s a Swansea player that could come here as a part exchange deal?

I am happy because finally Tony Stewart as come good, with sanctioning the manager with funds, to give
our club a fighting chance of staying in the championship.
He can break the recording now of his normal comment, " We have learnt our lesson ", each time we were
relegated from the championship, back into league one.
Maybe concerned about the length of the contract, 3.5yrs for a 30yr old player, but when you see Billy Sharp
at Sheffield United still scoring goals at 36yrs of age [37yrs on 5th Feb], we have to hope Hugill can get the
goals, & maybe the length of the contract was a condition of him signing for us.
Hope he can do a ' John Galley ' & get a hat-trick in his first game.

Can't compare him to Billy sharp as he was scoring plenty of goals before he got old. Hugill can't be discribed as prolific. To me, from what I e read and watched he's more of a shorter version of smith.

What I meant Cayton is a player can still score goals into his middle thirties, so the long contract is passable, I
just named Billy Sharp as a player in his later thirties. Hugill is a centre-forward, where I would say Billy Sharp
is a poacher in the football sense.

Yes they may take that view but it will only be via the Play-Offs.That can be anyone's to win and IF they do go up Barlaser and Ogbene are not Premier League players.Why isn't there interest or speculation for Rathbone now....our stand out performer? Because he has got 18 months to go.Have these 'big' clubs got as much to spend as you think?

Hang on, how do you know they're not Premier League players? I'll agree they may not look it at the moment, particularly Ogbene, but maybe Michael Carrick sees extra potential in them that he can develop
Also what would be the point of Boro buying any players to get them promoted only to discard them if they go up because they're not good enough to play at a higher level?
Doesn't make much sense really.

Rathbone with only 18 months to go? What are/have the club doing about retaining his services? Or do we let him run down his contract like all the rest? This lad is an outstanding plsyer

Tony Stewart you can't argue he's backing manager this window. Rotherham public should back the club all remaining games this season fill home seats up part of the away end as well.

Yeah I got what your saying Eric you could have used Ronaldo and plenty more examples but my point was if a player is not prolific in his prime. He's not going to start scoring goals in his 30s so for hugill as the example. 79 goals in a career spanning 17 clubs and 12 years as a pro and over 330 games. imo a 3.5 year deal is a bit worrying.

You may be right in that they may both end up consolidated ''Premier League'' players but how many players have we sold in the last 10 years have? Emi Martinez was on loan btw! I hope they do though because everyone should have the chance to take their career to the highest possible level and RUFC should be proud of the role that they have played.
