how do you know he scouted him?
But scouted by Thorn. Thorn hasn't really made that many signings in his time as manager, so I presumed we'd include ones he scouted too
He gave him more of a chance last season, but ROD didn't take it. And he couldn't have given him that chance earlier when AT first took over because of how bad his fitness was from being made to rot!
the only reason rod got a chance was because of injury's not because thorn liked him
I've always said for a while ROD signing was a mystery to me as neither Thorn or Boothroyd rated him
Everyone has a 5 rating on there because no-one bothers changing it
You know this how? People get slated for saying he was a Boothroyd signing but you can say he is for sure scouted by ThornHe was scouted by Thorn, he must have seen something in him.

A quick research tells me there was over a month between Boothroyd being appointed and ROD signing so that isn't a very good argumentNo one can say for sure however as Thorn at the time was employed as a scout, I'd say it's 99% likely he recommended him to the club, especially how quickly it went through after AB's arrival

yes i do because none of our other strikers were even on the bench and thorn said they were injured or unfit in cody's caseIn response to all your questions, I don't know for a fact Thorn scouted him but it's most likely he did. See my previous reply to NLHWC, of which you've probably already questioned me on also, for reasons on that.
How do you know he didn't? And How do you know ROD was only used due to injuries?
You don't do you!
You cann all moan if you never heard of him but a few weeks ago we would have had him so I welcome him. Even if only played a few games he has been around the top flight in France so hopefully knowledge gain to help us

It going through quickly after Aidy's arrival is further evidence that he was his signing. But not as good as the interview where he says he was impressed with him at Hartlepool!
The only part of that Wiki entry earlier that was true is the bit where it said you were his favourite Sky Blues Talk poster
Agreed with your point-we need players still, whether Keogh goes or not we need to replace Cranie. I'm quite excited by the notion that AT has to look abroad for a ballplaying CB that can play his style of football: good, I thought it was going to be some lower league clogger! At least he's got more technical ability than the average L1 CB, and his physical presence will give us something we were missing at the back last season.
You suggesting we got AB on the condition he could sign ROD? Or we moved quickly so no one else would snap him up? Either way that would be very concerning and id have preferred we didn't get AB! Any manager can say anything in an interview and I do not believe a manager would choose to sign a player as he had a good game against his old side.
great news! someone not from britian or surrounding areas,been a while
auxerre and nice on resume aint bad although did he make any frist team appearences? only 25yo and talks a good game, powerful will come in handy vs bully strikers in L1
also very handsome,id like to touch his penis.....PUSB

You filthy monkey! It was quite a funny post though.
Yep I agree, exact same could be said about his treatment under ThornEach to their own. I still believe if AB had chose to bring ROD to the club, he'd have been treated a bit better than he was under AB.

That is why I started off by saying his signing mystifies me
We've all seen him play: why is it a mystery that two managers both decided not to pick him?! Would you? Given an alternative who isn't Jeffers, not many would.
He was a cheapo Aidy gamble that backfired. Both managers realised once he was at the club that he wasn't near Championship quality: some good L1 goalscorers just can't step-up to The Championship. Which is why I still think his pace could be handy in L1. Even if he can't kick.
Back on topic, The Daily Star has quite a lengthy article about him signing for us with more information:
