Littered with Tony Smith, Jason Smith and even the likes of Richie Barnett to guide them through. Id take your point but surely were at a higher level now. Horne and Cooke first came together back at the Boulevard IIRC but I dont seem to remember them been thrown in and expected to win trophies or get to finals. Cause that will be my yard stick next season. Consistancy and a trophy.

Rankin looks very good on his highlights, albeit highlights... Good turn of pace, step and can tackle. Kicking looks decent, too.

Heard Ben Roberts again last week, but nothing recently.

cant see it being Roberts.

Sorry, I was looking for the FC rumour thread...... This seems like KRs forum, its full of dobbins

That's because this board doesn't ban all it's rivals an can take some banter.. Unlike the dark side. However it does seem some rovers fans are coming on the FC board so much. Must be coming out the closet.

Been told Rankin is done and dusted but waiting visa until they confirm it
