How many years ago was that loan spell now? The same could be said for ROD as well.

In a lower division. O Donovan has a far better record in league one. Says it all.

COVENTRY CITY have been accused of making a "joke bid" for Rotherham United striker Adam Le Fondre. United chairman Tony Stewart says his club wants to keep the highly-rated goalscorer - and believes the Sky Blues' offer was little more than a publicity stunt. He told the Yorkshire Post: “Coventry came in with a joke bid a fortnight or so ago but I am sure they weren’t serious. I got the impression it was more a case of them wanting to show their supporters that they were trying to do something."
For once you're right Sick Boy - it was therefore never realistic. I'll mark this momentus day in the old diary......

So when thorn said he was number one choice are you saying he lied to the fans?

I presume that you are trying to blame SISU and deflecting any sort of blame away from who you believe to be an excellent manager. It is interesting that CMcD and Le Fondre ended up moving for the same fee.
I bow down to your superior knowledge and admire your ability to always be right though, it won't be long until Thorny is back showing us what he can do in the Premiership. Maybe you could be considered as someone to remould football in Britain? I imagine in a couple of decades you and Ken Dulieu will be looked upon as the saviours of British football, having unearthed the leader of the footballing revolution in Britain.
And Gareth Mcleary? he has gone also.........not every rumour is bullshit!
But so what, if there is no truth in it DMC will be playing for Forest now and not elsewhere, Time will tell to that one.
What are the rumours? What happened before going to Sheffield? I looked on-line and couldn't find anything?
MCG may have been porking Lee Camp's missus.

It is alleged that Camp's wife was having an affair with DMcG.

Reading signed Le Fondre who was scoring goals in a lower division than O'Donovan.

Here's an offer for you. Find anywhere, in any post where I've claimed Thorn was an excellent manager, and I'll pay £100 to a charity of your choice. There you go

I'm saying he was probably slightly disingenuous. But equally, and quite naturally, trying to protect the morale of the player.
I'm sure Messi would have been his 'number one' choice, followed by Benzema or Cassano.
Given CCFC's budget - according to a third-party without agenda - was 'a joke', I presume he meant his 'number one target' within the price level he was permitted to work.
Still, that's not the point I was trying to make; but hope nevertheless I've sated your curiosity
Oooohhh, uve got him there mate. Wat charity are u going to pick?

He said he was his number one choice in the summer and had been chasing him all of that time. The fee plaid is reported as very similar to Let Fondre.
In the "disengenous" world of Andy thorn we will never know who is real target was will we.

Le Fondre was obviously the first 'target', as the 'joke' bid is confirmed by the Rotherham chairman. We also know King was a target, but the contract never materialised. We know Collins was a target, but we were in embargo, so it never manifested itself. Dave Syers was the prime midfield holding-player, but the embargo buggered that one too. McGoldrick was a target last January, and again in the summer; but that never quite happened either. Well, not until after Thorn left and a prick of conscience animated Waggy into life to appease truculant and revolting local serfs.....
You'll note in none of the above am I saying that Thorn was a great manager, nor a thespian extraordinaire. I don't credit him with a cure for leprosy, or state he can jump higher than a gazelle; or that he invented the potato or is attributable for the writing of most common Christmas carols.
Just that 'targets' were not all delivered as succinctly as one might hope. Hence the fumbling excuses, I guess
Shame really, the goals on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JX6Np9CP7w made me think he would be "Cov's version of Messi" i also think alot of pressure was on the lad from day one, being the only out-field player to have signed that season, with talk of Juke going, and the club failing to re-sign Kingy. Didnt help he wasnt given a pre-season at Norwich. I hope its not true anyways. I think he can still do a job for us.

Sorry MMM
If you don't talk about him like he is Adolf hitler and you actually think he got a raw deal.
Then apparently that means you think he is as good as Alex Ferguson. I am surprised you were not aware if that?
Anyway
FFS move on
Leave it.
Yawn
Broken record
He has gone
Change the subject
I never said he was Messi, i mearly stated going off facts from his goals and that video, he COULD have been Coventry's answer to it. I was using Messi as a ref point. I think you're missing the point to be honest.
