From this day forth he will be known as Antonio Rodgers. He didn't impress me too much in the first friendly but I suppose that was only 45 mins and his first 45 mins in a long while. Hopefully he will prove me wrong and be a good player.

 

Can anyone see him playing? I can't. I can see him getting games obviously but I don't think he will be in the starting XI every week, instead starting the season trying to compete for a spot, can't see him being played ahead of Wes and especially not ahead of Smith.

 

At least we're making sure we have strength in depth this season for a change unlike under Dickov, good to see.

Ooh, if Prozac hadn't waxed lyrical he may have got in there first. As it stands, chris_ktf is the merge-o-matic victor! *applause*[/quote

 

To be honest mate, I'd rather I wasn't! Somebody on here is never gonna let me live 'Antonio' down. I'll be under a large rock for the rest of the day.

I still get the feeling that it won't be Baxter who is off but it will be Wes, I think LJ has taken a shining to Mellor and Smith as a partnership in the centre and Rogers is now their backup, anyone agree?

Choices, how long since we had anything but absolute shoe-ins for postions.

It could just catch on. No audio card so don't know song.

And the lyrics might need altering a bit, but we have a decent track record in that dept, someone on here will come up with a classic

 

Ooh ooh aah Antonio

How will you remember me

Was it just a one night stand of joy

I believe were meant to be.

Ooh ooh aah Antonio

Ooh ooh aah Antonio

{Chorus]

Ooh ooh aah Antonio

How will you remember me

Was it just a one night stand of joy

I believe were meant to be...

It was summer and I was free

Now my memories come back to me

All the boys were playing in the sun

There you were and you were having fun

[Chorus]

Oooh Antonio

You´re my summer dream

Oooh Antonio

You´re my summer dream

Friday night and it was disco time

I dressed up and I was feeling fine

All the girls were dancing to this song

There you were and you were having fun...

[Chorus]

Oooh Antonio,

You´re my summer dream

Oooh, Antonio,

You´re my summer dream...

And we drank and we swam and we laughed and we cried

and we all had a summer dream

And we drank and we swam and we laughed and we cried

and we all had a summer dream....

[Chorus+ fade to end]

Must still be a shock to Rogers though earnings wise, from Chelsea to Brighton to Oldham, daddy must be giving him his 'oddie'. Fair play to him though, it shows that he has the right attitude to be willing to put salary behind has hunger for playing for a team that is shaping up to be an exciting prospect which LJ has said from the start it's about the type of player.

His chant already sorted out.

Unless budgets mean we need to make cuts, don't see any need to move anyone on or decide on a strongest XI. Particularly at this time of year, let them train, let them play friendlies and see what team takes shape and which players rise to the top. Then see who from the others is pushing hard to get themselves in there.

 

Having a first XI that picked itself has stagnated a handful of careers recently so if we sign the likes of Rodgers/ Rooney but end up playing Winchester/ Millar because they've pushed themselves in there then great, it would still make their signings worthwhile. Same goes for Wes. If he feels challenged by the competition so has a blinding pre-season then I'm sure he'll start.
