Rommy Boco
- Thread starter baldy
- Start date
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 ' ?
It aint confused me dave it just proves to me this geezer is sod all but n armchair fan, otherwise he would know most who have commented certainly aint.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 hahaI aint convinced.

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.
As yeh said SamF, he started the comments, cmon first post on any forum n yeh do that, then yer gonna get it back simple as. You may not think its right, then again i don't think its right to accept crap off anyone.
yer last paragraph i agree wi totally.
After the Cheltenham game, would love to see the thoughts of the doubters now. True only one game, but let us believe and back PC and Leam's judgement.
Gladly admit I was wrong and full credit to PC having said Rommy was a potential target months ago and going out and signing him early days but looks once again like we have a player who slots straight into the the PC Stanley attacking mould.
Squad wise it's a big squad but at the same time it has depth in that we have more strength to change things for injuries, suspensions or just changing the pattern of play than I can remember and also to PC's great credit he is not afraid to change things as needed or required.
Happy day's indeed and great credit to the management for identifying the players required and installing belief and a style of play that makes a mockery of the age of the squad, the Board for backing PC and the players for their belief in the management, his footballing ethos and their pride in wearing the badge.
Please continue to defy the odds and myself cause I can't stop grinning from ear to ear.
