Zebs career to date has mainly been at Blue Square and League 2 level and he has hardly pulled up many trees with his goalscoring record. Jo Kuffour throughout his career has always played at a higher level than Zebs, and his goalscoring record is still better . Jo Kuffour is not a player you can rely on to score goals, yet he scores more than Zebs.

That is why I think he is better. Of course Zebs has age on his side, and maybe can improve, whereas Jo Kuffour is getting close to 30. Jo Kuffour is still a better option though, In my opinion.

I wouldn't worry about the legal ramifications, The fact that it is total bullsh*t and utter lies is what I would be more concerned about.

An initial offer was made to Jamie, which didn't meet both Jamie and his agents demands, but negotiations are still ongoing and I fully expect him to sign within the next few days.

Jamie Cureton. Points West last night reported that he wouldn't rejoining Rovers as his Agent made too many demands and he priced himself out of the market. In addition I doubt the board would have been too happy at his return.
There was a heavy rumour with a fair bit of backup at the time. I think it was when Holloway was in charge. He was messing about with a girl who was the daughter of one of the directors. The rumour also alleged rightly or wrongly that this girl may have been younger than was healthy. I won't go into more detail as we don't want legal bits of paper floating around but that was the state of the atmosphere around here a few years ago.
anyway he seemed to get the boot after that and was shipped out pronto

Well said Fonda! :clap: There's enough actual negative transfer news going around at the mo without convincing ourselves even more players are on their way. If Zebs were to go I'd be gutted, but as it stands this is a baseless theory. Until anything more substantial comes out we should remember that he's our player and be happy about it.

There were rumours doing the rounds a decade ago, which were complete and utter bullsh*t, when he departed for Reading. I take it that is what you are getting at?

Jamie lives in Bristol, has alway's had a house here, his whole family still live here and is a lifelong Gashead.

He should be signing within the next few day's, and as stated previously Matt Harrold looks like he may be on the way, and also Ashley Grimes and Clayton Donaldson have been heavily linked.

I would say Zebs is way down the pecking order, as those 3 and Jo Kuffour who we already have are all better options. If we fail with any of those then we may come in for Zebs. Who Knows?

But I would honestly say that I think Zebs, Branston and O'Kane will be safe with you. Unless of course they have other offers.

I think we all have to calm down a bit, we must remember the Torquay team last year only finished 7th in league 2 at the end of the day, it is not as if Buckle is pulling apart a Championship winning team.

There are countless players available at the moment and I am pretty sure every manager who has applied for the job has several in mind already...and has no doubt sounded many players out.

Just like Buckle has wasted no time in building his team (as he knew he was on his way) I am sure that our new manager will move pretty sharpish

I wonder whether Zebroski could be interesting Alan Knill at Scunthorpe.

He was rumoured to be interesting Bury, and Knill according to the BBC site is looking at wide players and strikers from our division.

League 2 rumours has it that Harrold is moving to Bristol Rovers for a 6 figure fee. Surprised they ain't after Le Fondre or some little pixie like that. I'm sure Buckle has already agreed a 4 figure deal to sign Zebroski, wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

As has been said by a Gashead on here, the strikers are Jamie Cureton and Matt Harrold.

Cureton is very close to signing for the Gas.

I imagine he will go for Zebs, but I hope in this instance we actually put up a fight and demand his real valuation. The same goes with Eunan.

Just been reading an interview posted on the BRovers site, and this quote stood out. "We are well along the way to bringing in a striker, and there will be more additions."

Given that he officially started work this morning, it can surely only mean that the striker they are looking to add is one he has 'identified' prior to joining them, and in my mind Zebroski is the glaringly obvious target he is talking about.

Unless we get a damned good fee, and the money goes to a replacement, we'll have no-one to score goals, and a significantly weakened core, given that we have an inexperienced central midfield combination, and currently have nobody experienced in the centre of defence.

Anyone for a relegation battle?
