Londonboy Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Right time for a bit of honesty. I've made my feelings very clear about AL, Barry and the other clowns running our club, and I'm still of the opinion that the sooner they fuck off the better. However credit where credits due, this guy is a prolific scorer, OK at National league level, but I don't think we are much above this at the moment. Who else with a record like his 1. could we have got and 2. who actually agrees to come to the circus that is OAFC. I'm sure we are paying a decent fee and he's on good money so fair play to the clowns for getting this over the line. Let's see what he can do over the next 18 months. Looking forward to seeing him in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Welcome to BP Danny, most of our previous signings normally leave their scoring boots with their previous club. Hope you remember to bring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as critical as any, and one signing does not make a summer with our squad he could struggle, but I've seen a message on twitter briefly from an agent that says the owner has been trying for 6 months. So it's not a Dino signing, but he'd have been in the loop when he took the job. But that sort of tenacity you'd hope for, just hope it's not a Menig style blowing the budget!!

We could certainly build a whole new team around him. His first 75 games in 5 seasons with 6 clubs say 25 goals. It was his move to Fylde that saw his start scoring. Half his career goals came in 3 seasons in 2 Leagues below us . Of course his National League record with Fylde is 57 in 123, and decent. I hope it's just the fresh challenge he needs, and proud of his first ever League contract, but I don't think it wise to just ignore Dr Worm & who may have seen him in 100 games or so.

The doc obviously loves the club but most probably hates the journey, there and back, I do it myself on a regular basis and truth be known, hate every minute. how many on here that just have to walk down the road to B.P, would be prepared to make that 140 mile round trip on 3 motorways every other week or Saturday/Tuesday? If I lived in Oldham, I'd be volunteering down at the ground, Not everyone is as lucky as yourselves, you have it way too easy to criticise others!

League one forever Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The fact we have paid a fee, on the crowds we are getting staggers me. You can’t knock what AL is prepared to put into the squad. The problem is the relatively vast of money he spends on players who are nowhere near good enough. If only AL would have a decent squad of 20/22 and the kids, instead of 35 players - 25 of which are garbage. Hope Rowe is a silver lining, in what are desperate times.

A rose amongst thorns won't cut it, we'll stay up that's virtually a given but this should have been implemented last season, with the view to making a decent fist of things now. A.L would have been banking on a swift return to League one, not 3 seasons in this pit and the longer we remain here, the poorer the club gets.

the_mighty_bosh Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 There's a hell of a lot of things going through my head with this signing. If nothing else it's really intriguing! First off, I honestly can't remember anyone who's come to the club having scored as many goals as he has in his career. It might be non-league but this isn't a one season wonder, he's consistently scored over 20 goals a season. If that isn't something to get excited about I don't know what is. I know youtube videos can only show you so much, but he really does score a variety of goals! I don't know exactly how we plan to set him up but he looks like he could play any attacking role. We certainly don't have a player like him in the squad so he's got every chance of having the attacking strategy built around him. He's either in the peak of his career or coming towards the end of it. Either way we shouldn't have to wait for him to develop, he should be expected to make an immediate impact. I'm going to give cautious praise to the Lemsagams. If they've been going after Rowe since the summer then they deserve the credit for getting the move done as it's not one that I thought they could pull off. It's not the type of move I would have predicted they would (or could) do. I really can't put my finger on whether they have money or not! Rowe wouldn't come cheap and the recruitment so far this season doesn't scream big spending (maybe Wheater aside) and doesn't point to a joined up thought process. As excited as I am by this, I really hope that they haven't broken the bank to get him and I especially hope that it isn't a knee-jerk reaction to the planning boycott. If not then fantastic! Finally, welcome the club Danny. Go make yourself the hero that the club has been waiting for. ️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like that over Wheater, like a dog with Bone didnt give up till he got his man.I have been told he was a tough cookie to deal with at fylde , and we didn't pay anywhere near the 250k +he initially wanted but he hasnt come cheap..

He is exactly the same player as he was then, you may not see him chasing around, but if a chance comes he will wack it in, usually ripping the net off.
