was signed by Mark Robins at Rotherham, proof that he knows a good player when he sees one.

Proof also that he can sign a good player when given the financial backing, something we obviously havent got :facepalm:

Who is to say Le Fondre was not recommended to him by a scout?

Well if he gets the job we will soon see what eye for talent he has when he brings in a few in the loan window.

That was clearly man-management trying to boost Cody's confidence. Don't make me post the same anecdote about the new girlfriend I got on the night I'd been dumped for the third time in response to you saying this!

Would it really help confidence if he was saying he was his first target when if he wasnt he will pretty much know anyway?

Its like the girlfriend saying how she always wanted you after somebody else turned her down..

My point is of course he's going to say Cody was first choice-much as I told the new girlfriend that it had been her I'd wanted all along

The alternative: "Well, I really wanted Adam-y Le-y Fondre-y, but the chairman only offered 50k, so we've got this knackered unfit ex-builder in instead..."

And why was that? Was it because we'd just sold someone, releasing funds that SISU wouldn't make available first, meaning we missed out on our first target? Isn't it fun to remember!

Six times as much, anyway. Bit of tabloid-esque exaggeration by yourself, there

Le Fondre is not necessarily a good player. Just a finisher with a decent touch.
What Cody was/is meant to be.

Pretty decent attributes to have for a striker then? Cody has neither.
