I think the source for this is the radio story I heard earlier surrounding the Rotherham Chairman stating a deal would be done for Adam before the weekend with us being a very strong suitor.

Take that as you will, we've all heard countless radio stories before.

"I hear Sheff Wed have upped their bid for le Fondre to £500k. Watford also said to be keen. If it goes above that, CCFC might be out..."
 
Bigirimana. I don't know if that is the correct spelling but it is the most mispelt name since Mifsud (Misfud). Some entertaining attempts.

The attempts at pronunciation should be as entertaining as the ones for Missedfood. ahuhu...

Apparently Le Fondre is currently on holiday but has made a verbal agreement to sign a 2 year deal with Coventry when he returns. This sounds pretty concrete to me :)

Just something to give those of you an idea what he is capable of. This will be another one of those players that we look back on in 2 years when he signs for Liverpool for £10m and say, we could have had him for £1m but SISU wouldn't invest. Just like Henderson, Carroll, Cork and I am sure countless others that Thorn got no support from the board on. Shocking. If this player isn't worth £1m quid then who is...

Why would he be on holiday in pre-season and the season kicking off this weekend? :facepalm:

Thanks SBdar - enjoyed that youtube

What I liked most about those goals was the variation in them. I know the defenders and keepers are often poor, but so many different types of goal including headers, one on ones, both feet, predator types, penalties and running onto balls. Control looks reasonable and movement intelligent. I do know most players can look good if you combine their best bits and it is as subjective as it is selective, but he does appear to have that knack you can't teach. My only concern is why at 24 if he is genuinely that good, why a bigger club with a bigger budget has not already taken a punt on him. He would be peanuts for one of the top sides who could loan him out and at 24 you would think he would have been scouted often enough as his goalscoring would attract them like flies and yet he has remained in L2.

:claping hands:

no the team should be:


--------------------murphy------------------------
clarke--wood/craine--keogh/macpake--hussey
--------------------clingan---------------------------
bigiranmana/deggan(when fit)-----bell
----------------------sheefers---------------------
---------------juke---------le fondre/eastwood

subs; dunn, chrstie,deggan(when fit or bigi depending on if he plays well),baker,rod/eastwood/le fondre
 
Don't let ALF's goals primarily two leagues below us cloud our judgement.

Having seen his video and his goals, as mentioned in previos posts, coming from all angles and suggests he is in the Kevin Philips mode of player. Not tall, but a quick bustly sort of player, low centre of gravity difficult to shake off knows where the net is.

Sign him up AT, could be an absolute gem.

Only Le Fondre reports I can find say he's probably going to the Owls. Including Sky Sports who were first to say King was not signed with us and was going Brum.
