Official Sam Nombe is here

[Beaufighter]

Just been on the Exeter messageboard,and nothing but praise and good wishes for him,apart from one person who said he was lazy,but basically everyone else said he was talking b*llocks.
Looks like more of a "Number 10",so would expect to see him play alongside Hugill.

That'll be Gru-arrr

[flourbasher]

Interesting that a few have said it’s a great signing perhaps without seeing him play.
Certainly won’t have seen him play in the cship
It’s a lot of money that’s for sure and a big fanfare.

I’m not trying to put a dampener on today, it’s just that I don’t post hugely negative comments when we lose just one match.
Quite a few on here do.
I trust MT,s long term vision even if SN doesn’t shine vs Norwich and I’m not sure that can be said for everyone

Well done Tony for trusting the Manager and giving him the tools to do his job.

Definitely pronounced NOMBAY according to an Exeter fan. More importantly he was very popular at Exeter, particularly effective partnered with Jevani Brown who I think we were also interested before he got done for assault and signed for Bristol Rovers, where I am sure he will forge a good working relationship with his manager Joey Barton. I reckon Nombe's been signed to play alongside Hugill. Here's hoping at least one of them scores on Saturday.

He’s had some experience in championship even if he didn’t score, also MT knows his style and thinks he’s got something we need
Hopefully it pays off
Think some just think it’s a good signing looking at his stats even if it was with Exeter

Not bothered about other teams, I just thought I’d never live to see RUFC spend £1m on a player.

[Citizen Erased]

Good to see the 1.3 for wiles has immediately been spent. Excellent signing and exactly what we should be after.

Got to ask though, if he's worth this Smith must have been worth similar.

[Nardendee]

They wanted him to go to Barnsley
But Sam said No! No! No!
He had a word with Matt
Now Rotherham's where he's at
You know know know
Nombe's Rotherham's number 8
We all think he's great
They wanted him to go to Barnsley
But he said No! No! No!

I think you ought to go to rehab
I said go go go 😜🤣🤣

Agreed

If it is indeed true (it seems a shame if it is and we don't at least acknowledge the milestone) and he turns out the be anything like the first million pound player then he'll do alright. 44 years on and in a way ironic that it's happened just after Trevor Francis' death.
