CONFIRMED Romelle Donovan joins on Season Long Loan

[LBA_Blade]

At this stage just a suggestion but a possibility especially on loan, he is on 19 and can play AM or as a winger has a good shot on him plus pace which would compliment nicely.

Looking at the pic on top of article, he looks a LOT like Chris Wilder... past it?

 

[radio]

Only basing this on only seeing him once in a Brentford Under 21 side against Blades at Doncaster Rovers but he did look very good

Gerrimin then!

What could go wrong?

If he could constantly be as good as he was on the day I saw him alot could go right

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Blacksea]

I saw him come on as a sub for a game last season,didn't get many touches but those he did get impressed me.

ooooos this signing

 

[DifferentClass]

Wilder were reyt... some on here would say "for once"

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I have actually seen him play.

Can't say I remember what he was like I was in awe of seeing Christian Nwachukwu in the flesh at the time...he's still at us apparently

 

[SUFC1998]

Played on right wing against pigs

 

[Uganda Blade]

Does he play right or left wing?

 

[Uganda Blade]

Played on right wing against pigs

Brooks' replacement, then, I imagine.

 

[Champagneblade]

It would be good to see if he can perform against better opposition.

I did watch that game but I remember when Graeme Hick used to cart all the county bowlers all over the shop but then had some struggles against better opposition!

He did look good that day and probably is a decent replacement for Brooks.

Its shit though isn't it.
Sell one of our own, and our replacement is a loan for a season. Be in the same position next year.

 

[Bill the bee]

I think and hope this is a good signing for all parties.Some fans have been critical of Keith Andrew’s not giving him more game time as he nearly always impresses when he has come off the bench.He is an exciting player with bags of skill and has a great shot on him.Will watch from afar with great interest and hope you have a good season in what is still the best league in the world

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He tore Wednesday apart last season, I appreciate they were pretty rubbish but he looked very good.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

If he can do this multiple times a game we are off to a winner



Seems they taste him there

 

[Pandev]

Not very excited by this. We sell our best winger to then develop another team’s 19 year old.

It’s not like Dobbin who’s already proven himself in the division.

Really wish there was another angle of that goal. Is it... THE greatest goal of all time...?!

Dobbin I think will be the other player coming in on loan.

 

[ckpe147]

This would be excellent

 

[mattbianco1]

Imagine in the 90s/00s if someone had told you that we'd be loaning in 19 year olds from Premier League Brentford .

Like some parallel universe stuff

 

[PaddysMad]

I think Dobbin And Donovan are different to what we normally sign if we all get arse on cause there not names that’s good cause no one will no what to expect either.

 

[Snowflake]

Its shit though isn't it.
Sell one of our own, and our replacement is a loan for a season. Be in the same position next year.

…but financially more secure.

 

[mattbianco1]

Will he be bringing his Technicolour Dreamcoat?

 

[CrookesBlade]

Will he be bringing his Technicolour Dreamcoat?

Deal off apparently.

Last night he talked about leaving, Brentford said they can’t let him go.

 

[ChuntyMalone]

Really wish there was another angle of that goal. Is it... THE greatest goal of all time...?!

I've watched it multiple times and still can't work out what he did??

 

[Champagneblade]

It is but a production line of home grown players isn’t linear.

We sell Brooks, keep the wolves from the door but we don’t have a Brooks coming in. We do have an Arblaster and a Peck who both play similar positions.

So we borrow to kick the can down the road.

It is frustrating that we are improving someone else’s talent but then again didnt we sponsor that when we loan Oné to Lincoln, when we loaned Curtis to Chesterfield etc?

I’d be more concerned if we were taking in loans but then have no production line going out.
