Transfer Rumours/Suggestions

[Boo_Boy]

Vol au Vont. He'll fill the hole between midfield and the strikers. Expected to mushroom into a great player. Certainly gives you a great appetite for the new season.


brilliant avvenalaf!:D:D:D

[Boo_Boy]

I agree. A striker is badly needed. If Judge gets injured and Faz's form drops (or vice versa), where are the goals going to come from ?


what i the new strikers form drops?;)

[roversman]

Am I missing something - is a striker not a priority?

i think 2 not 1 is what we need

Vol au Vont, a definite starter for next season............................................ ...........................:p:p..............I'll get my coat...................

[sligoman]

We're after a striker/midfielder. He's coming over on Monday to look around. Cook revealed who he was[by accident:D] tonight but don't think it'd be fair to say it on here just yet. Chances of signing him are 50/50 at the moment. He's the African player btw, not Brendell. This guy's not from Namibia.

[Red4Eva]

read a good bit of stuff about yer man there. sounds like he'll be a great signing if we get him. he's captain of his national team!!

[Boo_Boy]

he's captain of his national team!!

ok im not giving anything away because i dont know anything,but i am 99.9% sure its......Romuald Boco

its a bit obvious,he's played for Accrington Stanley and he's captain on Benin.:D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romuald_Boco

i wasnt at the meeting it was just by luck i was looking through name of captains of their countries in the african nations cup.

i could be wrong but i doubt it.

[south sligo red]

Looks like you could be on to something there boo boy, going by what sligoman said it has to be him. Here is his profile from his time at accrington:

Name : Romuald Boco
Squad Number : 14
Date Signed : Aug 2005
Position : Midfielder/forward
Date of Birth : 08-07-1985
Previous clubs : Niort

Benin international signed in August 2005. French born he spent time with the Youth Academies at Lens, SC Amiens, FC Valenienne and FC Niort before being promoted to the first team squad at Niort. Made his International debut when only 18 and has now got 19 caps. In 2004-05, he also represented Benin in The FIFA Junior World Cup. Scored Stanley’s first two Football League goals for 44 years but then missed a good part of the season after being injured on International duty. Voted Stanley’s Young Player of the Year last season.

its not fair to be naming him cooky didnt want his name to be released but ye're doing it.

[Boo_Boy]

blame Red4Eva,if he/she didnt say he was the captain of his national team i would never have found him.

[Rovers1]

blame Red4Eva,if he/she didnt say he was the captain of his national team i would never have found him.

all he said was "captain of his national team"..could have been anyone. although in fairness, if you werent at the meeting you wouldnt have known Cook said to keep it quiet.

[Boo_Boy]

yep R4E said he was the captain if his country,but sligoman said he was an african player,but not brendell,i just guessed he was in the cup of nations.

[feo123]

lets all blame sligoman so.

[Boo_Boy]

lets all blame sligoman so.

if anyone was to blame it would be cook for letting it slip in the first place:D:p

[sligoman]

if anyone was to blame it would be cook for letting it slip in the first place:D:pNo it'd be you for saying the name online. Cook's was an accident, yours wasn't.

[Boo_Boy]

No it'd be you for saying the name online. Cook's was an accident, yours wasn't.

calm down i was just joking,its not a big deal,this is football,nothing stays a secret for long.

[Rovers fan]

apparently we signed a new player(courtesy of our old friend RT on the new forum)

[showgies]

Sligo Rovers are pleased to announce the signing of Romauld Boco, a Benin international, recently returned from representing his country at the African Nations Cup in Ghana. Rovers manager, Paul Cook was delighted with the news.

“Romauld is central midfielder / striker – I didn’t think I’d get him, I thought that he’d be out of our reach but, thankfully we’ve secured him. I don’t want to put pressure on him, but I’m certain that the fans will see that he is the real deal and with the other signings that we’ve made, I believe that we’re in for a very exciting season.

“I’d like to put on record my thanks to the committee. They’ve really shown that they are determined to bring the kind of players in that will bring this club forward.,” he concluded.

[sligoman]

Delighted he's signed, already a cult hero;)

[Rovers fan]

Great signing. I'd say cookie is a lot more positive now because it seemed that he really wanted to get him

[Boo_Boy]

great signing,

im glad me mentioning his name on here before anything was signed didnt effect his decision.:p

[deecay]

The way Cook was talking about him is very positive

[forza rovers]

thats great news

[Rovers1]

Benin flag anyone? their jersey is available in The Soccer Shop on George's Street in Dublin! :D

[deecay]

Feo doing a inside job

[Rovers fan]

lads if you look at it we have a good squad of players. We have a few versatile players. We have 2 players for evry position apart from a centre half and a striker. If we could sign a player for those 2 positions we would be in very good shape for the new season. I think with a bit of luck we could do very well this season

[showgies]

A good centre half should have been a priority.....hopefully we will get one in

[feo123]

Feo doing a inside job

and quite a job im doing :cool:

Brilliant news. Can't wait so see him play already.

[pendle red]

You have got a very good footballer in Rommy!:ball:

Always gives a 100% and a true Gent!

Sad to see him go:(

I hope he does the business for you and hope you have a Great Season:)

I will follow your Season with interest as I am sure will a few other Stanley fans

Maybe we could perhaps look at starting up fan bases for both teams on each side of the Sea?

[Rovers fan]

anybody know how many years boco has signed for?

[sligoman]

Benin flag anyone? their jersey is available in The Soccer Shop on George's Street in Dublin! :DCouldn't find anywhere online to buy their jersey. As for the flag, it was bought last night:D.

Would be a good trip, I know a few people in the "DSC" might have there arms bent to go over for a game.

Cook might recommend a pub or two we could check out if we went over!

[pendle red]

He played a few games for us last season and looked a decent player, I think the Club did a trip to Spain and Almeda came back with the Club on a short term contract, not 100% sure but I also thought he was at Swindon earlier this Season:)

[Knappagh Red]

Only 5ft 9", we'll have two fairly small center halves if we do sign him

[akearins]

Anyone hear anything about Mark Rossitor signing
