Rommy was at the Crown yesterday before the game, he will be signing this week

I have yet to be convinced, that going back is progression?

Not sure about Rommy............................ BUT I trust Cooky his signings so far have been for the most part been great !!!

Say,s on Sligo,s site for this season he,s a defender/defensive midfielder maybe looking to play him at right back which for me his one position we look a bit suspect.

maccawozzagod · 27-08-2012, 10:03

he plays right back for his country

I for one would love to see Rommy back at the Crown, for the doubters - how many of us have seen him play that much since he left? I'd bet not enough to doubt his ability to fit into our team, ok he didn't break any pots at Burton Albion but maybe his heart wasn't in it when he went there & if people doubt anything else about Rommy, don't think anyone can doubt how much he loved playing for Stanley plus as Smudgie has said on another thread, why judge him before he's even had the chance to pull on a Stanley shirt again?
I'd have much more doubt over the Andy Bishop rumour tbh with his past injury record & his reported massive wage demands but would trust Cooky & co to make the right decisions with regard to any player we might sign

It's interesting to read posts from people who have been saying Boco couldn't hack it in the Burton side a few years back or even that he may not be able to reproduce the form he used to show, it strikes me as a typical 'armchair' fan comment.

These kind of comments I am sure are just users trying to throw their 2 cents in however if you look at the season that Boco has had at Sligo and some of the goals he has scores playing down the left wing or even behind the front man I think they would change their mind.
I think it would be great if we got him back at Stanley, he was definitely in my top two favourite players when he was here, he knows the club but also Paul Cook knows how to get the best out of him. He'll be a lot more mature and play smarter football than he did when we had him from 05-08
We didn't look great against Exeter and I think Boco would have an immediate impact. He is coming off the back of arguably the best season of his career (the Irish leagues season starts and ends at different times to England) and would hit the ground running as the other players are still adapting from the summer break.

Since he returned from China, he added a new dimension to his game, he is fitter and quicker than he has ever been.

He also brings some international experience to the side having played against a lot of the top African teams in the African Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifiers.

I think what AccyMad says is true about people judging him before they have seen him play.

--------

Heres highlights of him playing on the left wing recently
Sport Mediaplayer - RT Sport (12.16 onwards)

---------

He was quality in this game when he scored a screamer! lets hope he does it for us next season if the rumours are true!
Sligo keep up title push with win over UCD - RT Sport (The highlights for this game are going online tonight the website says so i'll post them up later)

Confused me, if you are a Stanley fan and look at Rommy's games on video doesn't that make you an 'armchair fan ' ?

Stanley Fan and not an armchair fan but i guess you could say also a bit of a Sligo 'desk chair' fan in that case haha

lancsdave · 27-08-2012, 15:26

For what it's worth I don't think Cooky is the type who brings players in on sentiment, therefore he must think RB has something to offer

Come on just because someone doesn't know the match day habits of a few AccyWeb users they must be an armchair fan?

Fair enough they started the comments in that nature but still it's not right to right them off completely.

My 2p's worth - Rommy as he was the last time he was here isn't good enough. If he's improved, brilliant. We'll have to wait to see him play.
