  • Roddy rhymes with Noddy...

    That's all i've got.

    Weak. It also rhymes with toddy. 
  • Apparantly there is a young former Brighton centre back at Arsenal who played really well against us for Leeds being allowed to go out on loan… worth a go?

    Oh and shoddy... but then that's an extra letter!

    Hmmm.  Has the CL transfer thread come to this?

  • In the current edition of Voice of the Valley, Rick says that Roddy is Ged's son

    Wait, so Ged’s son is called Roddy Roddy? I thought his name was Jacob.
    So good they named him twice
  •  Come on guys a player is a player - there is no need to mention his ethnic background 
    Thank you, Director of the thought police.

    You need to read the article again Rick said he was Roddy’s son and Jacob was his (Rick’s) son.

    I’m really confused now because I though Gedson used to play for Tottenham.

    No Gedson were those two annoying Irish twins with spiky hair on Xfactor, do please try to keep up or we will miss out on all the high quality transfer rumours that this site specialises in.
  • Can we have a dedicated thread regarding Ged Roddy and his numerous sons please?
    We all dream of a team of Roddy's sons, a team of Roddy's sons, a team of Roddy's sons!

    Poor old Jacob Roddy, all he wants to do is make a career as a professional footballer. It seems his Dad, who may or may not be his Dad is either hindering him or helping him.


  • Thanks Sam you’re the voice of reason and no mistake. Thanks for being here for us and thanks for caring. What star sign are you? Man you’ve got a beautiful aura.
  • Hopefully we get a deal done with Swindon and bring Jonny back home

    Tbf he is right...not seen him play so can't comment on that but it does seem that he is pretty much damned because his name is Roddy.

  • @king addick you’re right but you’re also not a naive man and absolutely recognise that culturally those who seem to get a leg up in life face the hardest scrutiny. If he’s good enough the doubters will appreciate even more for making it on his own merits. If he doesn’t he’ll be forgotten by most and his name wheeled out only as a salutary parable.

    Regarding Roddy, I thought he looked alright against Wimbledon, played some good stuff. Defensively pretty solid apart from their goal but he’s a youngster still learning, reminds me a bit of Morgan Fox! Clearly the club see potential as he’d be nowhere near the first team otherwise, regardless of who his Dad is unless we are going old school nepotism which would be disappointing!

    Based on what period of evaluation? Do you seriously suggest Avory is prone to supporting such a basic version of alleged nepotism? Perhaps we should revisit Barker whose dad used to work for the club?

    Are you suggesting that is how the Academy works?
  • But based on what is he not good enough?

    I’m suggesting he’s not good enough, bottom line.

    Doesn’t matter about other players, Barker has been around the club for a while and was important to the U18s success last season, he’s proved himself around the club. We have/had young players better than Roddy and to many it looks like he’s been fast tracked to the first team.

    I am not saying anything against the academy or Avory, you mentioned him, not me. My point is Roddy is not good enough whether he is 18 or 23, his age is irrelevant, he shouldn’t be near the first team set up right now.
    I agree, feels to me he's been fast-tracked to the first team - it's clear to me he's not ready. Not saying he won't grow into a good player, but it feels far too early for him.

    The lads 18 years old and played one senior game....down the line he may not he good enough but he really has been condemned. 

    Imagine we will sign a LB and a season of U23s football will show where he is at.
    What’s been condemned is not Jacob. It’s the fact that the club have known since Maatsen went off to Coventry that we needed to bring in a left wing back and that’s not just because Purrington is injured. We started the season with a right back at left back with cover a totally raw Jacob Roddy. As for Jacob. He’s 18. Of course he’s not going to be good enough straight out of the box. I’m sure he’ll develop as he gets more experienced but just now he shouldn’t be anywhere near first team squad let alone first eleven.
