Does it really matter? Honestly?
We missed out on Bradley Orr too, and he's done fuck all apart from have fights in nightclubs. There are always players we wished we'd signed or not signed, just like there are those we are relieved to have got or not got.

Good point, another was Norris who went to Plymuff....he did good for a bit, not sure where he is now. I don't think its necessarily the case that if Eastwood had come here, he'd have been a success, just because he is at Sarfend. |

Every manager in the league is able to give you a list of half a dozen names that they turned down who went on to have successful careers. Especially with young players it's just the way things are.
You can't sign every striker on the off chance they might come good or you end up as Sheffield United, the only club in the league that can field a team in a 2-8 formation.
Hindsights a wonderful thing. But I'm sure if we looked back you were all equally enthusiastic about Junior Agogo who's done fuck all at Rovers.(But at least has an amusing name).

I stand corrected. Anyway the points the same. Six months into his Rovers contract the boards were full of "thank fuck we didn't sign him, King was mad to offer that sort of money" comments. .......And I only brought him up 'cause his name makes me think of that Umbongo advert... ...they drink it in the Congo apparently |

I used to love that advert!  |

Poor old Loyd I hope he does make a go of it and talking of Eastwood did the pair ever play together at Grays?
I have a feeling Eastwood arrived at Grays the same summer Opara left.
Bit of a fuck up that he was never persued by King after that reserve game and eventually joined Saaaaaaaarfend but I suppose that's the way football goes.
That said if I'd have given you a straight choice at the time between Eastwood and Henderson I don't think there's many that would choose the latter.

I thought that after king went the anti-king stuff would stop a bit. Seems I was wrong. King was ace, easily the best manager we've had since hoddle. Although I'd like to have seen Quinn given more of a chance and Gorman is doing seems to be doing a good job at wycombe.

I went off Quinn after those comments he made when Iffy took over. Not really malicous but not very nice all the same.
