Does Quigley's arrival mean we are going to wave goodbye to Tshimanga? According to The Sun, much bigger clubs than us are interested in him. As far as I could see they only named Hearts. Well I don't want to be rude but I think only two clubs in Scotland would afford him and Hearts aren't one of them.
I could certainly see him scoring plenty in EFL 1 or 2, and perhaps even the Championship. But age is against him developing quickly enough to go higher ...... but I suppose we all thought that about Jamie Vardy too.
Yesterday I noticed Matty Briggs Dorking's lovely winger grabbed a hat trick and was branded unplayable - one opponent lasted 17 minutes before being sent off for foul play. But the name that really springs to mind is Rooney. Wayne has done well at Derby, but apparently the club may only have days left. This is terrible and cannot be allowed to happen to such a proud and well-supported club. If it does happen though, some promising young players would be looking for jobs, one or two of whom might welcome a trip up the road .........
But another Rooney, John, has been welded to the bench at Stockport since the advent of Dave Challinor. The team is winning without him, but yesterday they used subs at Dagenham and he remained seated. We have forwards who would absolutely benefit from a man behind them with an eye for a through ball and the capacity for a rasping shot. I was hoping that we would put Asante and Tshimanga together and that Danny Rowe would fill that role behind them brilliantly, Mandeville can do the same, but quite often just doesn't. So why not put in a cheeky bid for John Rooney? He can't be happy at Stockport, they might not want us to have him, but the spare cash could buy them whatever Challinor thinks they do need. First step is start a Social Media rumour that Chesterfield are seriously interested in John Rooney, that should unsettle him nicely.
