The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Would be a terrible mistake if we did sign him up.

He doesn't seem the least bit interested in being here.

2 goals for him so far today - maybe JE knows something about him we have yet to see :?:

His performance today was a million miles from the performance i saw at Forest Green from him.

It really was the complete 'target man' performance. He didn't put a foot wrong.

Fair play to the lad, i just hope its not a flash in the pan.

I think it would be worth JE looking into the possibility of signing him permanently, if able, then hopefully he'll keep performing like he did today.

He was fantastic today, 2 goals and an assist, he deserves a bit of credit for it too, I'm not sure i agree with you Harry i thought he did seem interested, he was congratulating players around him (including tommo when he was subbed off) he was doing a lot of talking and held up the ball well, it was a well deserved man of the match performance and i'd be happy with him staying here till the end of the season..

Great performance from him today, looked extremely useful although in regards to signing him, I'm sure I saw somewhere that he has the odd great game and the rest of the time not so great and I think we've seen that with his other performances so not sure about signing him on the basis of 1 game.

Fair enough - I was only judging after one game, Kiddy, which in fairness isn't a lot to judge after. I apologise if my comment doesn't apply to his performances in general.

After today though, maybe we should sign him up. ;)

I'm not having ago either, as this also is just one performance....but i thought he played well today and actually quite well against cambridge for that matter, i see no point in bringing in someone else, i think the four strikers we have now are the four we should keep this season...

J-Lo would certainly be an asset if performs as well as he did today on a regular basis, however, he's put in several very lacklustre performances for us as well. I'd be very happy to see him sign permanently if he can add some consistency to his game.

I agree. I get the impression from his body language today when celebrating and when he went off that he really wants to stay here. If he does, it needs to be made clear that today's performance must come more regularly to remain here for the rest of the season.
