Torquay United Fans Forum

Monkeyboy,

The fee of 35K was reported in the Bristol Evening Post and they don't usually post concrete information on a transfer unless they are 100% sure it's correct.

35k would seem very cheap. Our Evening Post don't usually come out with statements like that as they usually take rumours from our forum, but they must be pretty confident to publish something like that.

According to Buckle all the players kept on have been enjoying training so far and he doesn't think any will leave imminently, probably ruling out any move for Kuffour at the moment.

It's good to see he looks set to move to us. I'd be very pleased with the signing if it comes off.

I think, if the above is true, that it's a great deal all round. Rovers get the player Buckle clearly thinks will add quality to us and Torquay get a decent fee for a man with only 1-year left on his contract.

Sounds good. Although, I highly doubt JK will be part of the deal. His wages are pretty high. I think I'm right in saying that when he was at Bournemouth he took up around 25% of their wage bill and then when he signed for us we offered him even more. I'd like to keep Kuffour as I think he'd be a great weapon for us in League Two but I'm not sure if Buckle will keep him on.

That offers me a lot of encouragement SG. Where was he played predominantly last season for you? There were occasions where I saw him play up top and other times when I saw he was on the wing, so where do you think his best position is?

Ah, thanks for that. I must admit (private life aside) I wasn't sure what sort of player to expect if we signed him. But after hearing how well he has played for Torquay over the past couple of years I'm quite excited at the prospect of him becoming a Rovers player.

Unfortunately, 'players' and 'workrate' were non-existent for us last season, so it will great to see players who do put in 100% every week. I've got no doubt Zebroski will be one of those players and going by what you say, I'm confident he'd fit in with us and bring quality to our forward play.

I'm hopeful it will happen and I'd be very pleased if it did.

Thank you, everything I post will be genuine, I'm not here to disrespect you guys or your club.

Looks like a deal for Zebroski won't be happening today. I must admit, after reading the thread on his transfer request on the Main Board that it may have been finalised today but obviously not!

The only small thing I have heard from our end is that apparently his agent wants quite a large fee himself, something we aren't willing to pay him. How true that is I'm not sure and it was around a week ago I heard that.

Thanks Andy and Regiment, no worries at all.

Thought that may be the case. I've heard very little our end, the local press have obviously picked up on it over the last few weeks, but our Evening Post is notorious for taking rumours from our forum, so there's nothing to suggest that they know anything themselves unfortunately.

I will let you know when I hear anything, hopefully you guys can do likewise!

Hi guys, I've sort of introduced myself on the Banter board but realise that it doesn't receive as much attention as the Main board!

I am a Rovers fan (cue groans!) but haven't come on here to gloat, wind up or take the mickey. We're in League Two for a reason and I'm not here to give my club's supporters a bad name, we deserve nothing from no one and as I always say, treat others as you would like to be treated!

I'm just wondering what the latest is on Zebroski and a move to us? I've read the thread through and have seen a couple of posts which say he'll be a Rovers player by the end of today. Just wondered if that was still the case? I believe it's Teeboo who is in the know so if he or anybody else is willing to give me the latest I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thank you and good luck for the season ahead.

Thank you. I may go on to the main forum and ask the question as it seems not too many people use the banter board! Would Cheltenham be able to afford Zebroski's wages? I'm not sure what he's on but would assume he's one of your highest earners?

I'll see if I can find anything else out on the Main board, cheers!

First post here so please go easy on me!

I am a Rovers fan and have been paying a lot of attention to the topics on here regarding my team and potential signings. Firstly, I'm not here on the wind up or to talk too much about my club, I just have a question I wish to ask.

Obviously I'm not sure where Rovers fans are and aren't allowed to post on here, but was hoping someone would provide me with some information they may have.

Obviously i've seen some people who seem to be in the know in regards to certain players and although I've seen something on a different thread I thought I'd ask here for clarification. How likely is it that Zebroski is joining Rovers and could it happen today? I think it was Teeboo who has said it should be done by today but I was wondering if he or anybody else knew if that was still on track?

Again, not here to annoy or offend any of you guys. I have a lot of respect for Torquay and would hate to come on your forum giving it the big one because quite frankly we're in this league for a reason and aren't owed anything from anyone. Would like to wish you guys luck for the season too.

Thanks if you can provide me with the info!
