Good luck Zebs (except against us!). Not the most consistent of performers, with a dodgy character, but what an exciting talent on his day.

Not slating little Danny, but I would rather have Zebroski any day.

What a difference a year makes. When Rovers signed Zebroski and Carayol at the same time, I would have thought that Zebroski was the better player. In fact over the last few seasons when he and Carayol have been at the same club, Zebroski has been picked more often than Carayol, yet Carayol has just got a move to Middlesborough (which after looking at their forum, their fans seem quite excited about) and Zebroski is signing for Cheltenham (no disrespect intended).

I think he will do well at Cheltenham, similar sort of club to us, less expectations on him than there probably were at Bristol Rovers and likely fans who are a bit less delusional about their status, than BRFC. Also, the style of football they play, will suit him. I can see Cheltenham challenging again for the play-offs.

I would imagine BR have sold him for a figure which allows them to break even with any sell on clause for us. £45-50k would make sense if the 20% sell on is true.

I know he handed in a transfer request with you guys, but if it is around 40-50k which is expected, then Cheltenham have paid well over the odds. McGhee told him at the end of last season he was free to find himself a new club, he was coming of a good season with yourselves and we got him for what, 35k? He's came off a pretty poor (some gasheads would say worse than that) season here and they are spending that. I think McGhee and Higgs would have been happy to purely get him off the wage bill to make some room for the added transfers McGhee wants.

Any idea of the fee you guys paid Hubert?

See he has gone but fee undisclosed. Hope we have a slice of whatever it was!

Decent enough player i suppose, i didn't really rate him as highly as some of you guys but he can certainly be a handful on his day. Will probably do ok for Chelts i'd imagine.

Not playing the "I know a person in the know" here but I was told this would happen just after the end of last season. I did tell a well known member of this forum at the time. What amazes me is how do these insignificant people (in terms of the club their on about) get to hear about these these confidential matters?

Zebroski still commutes from Swindon, so I dont believe he has been arrested 3 times at all, If he had I am sure us Gasheads would of heard about it.

I think Zebs will do alright at Nam.

He always gave his all, and showed commitment for the cause, which you can't fault him for, but his actual footballing ability was literally non existant.

Ironically the glimpses when he did show something was against Nam and Torquay

If you put Carayols ability with Zebs workrate, we would of had a superstar :)

Good luck to him, he gives it all that's for sure

Also when Buckle took him there, he never told the Rovers board about his 'previous' which Higgs and co believed to be limited to just the Paul Wotton incident. When they found out about his criminal past, they had already signed him and we were merely passing on his file.

They were not amused!!!
I didn't know he's been arrested since being in Bristol. I don't know of any Rovers fans that do either. He's travelling to and from Swindon everyday so not convinced.

:rules:
Typical of the weasel that is Buckle

How do you know this Nick?

If he has been arrested again how come he is not banged up cause he was one step away from jail?

Sounds like you guys are making room for a big signing up front?
Yeah without a doubt, I've only seen Bodin once but he looks a good prospect.

Think Zeb will do well for them. He had by far his best game for us away to them and scored. Most fans appreciate his effort and commitment, it was just his first touch and lack of awareness that let him down. He'll get a decent enough reception when he goes back to the Mem.

We signed David Clarkson last week but Mcghee said he wants another striker. Got a feeling we may bid a third time for Constable. Not convinced he's worth the fee of around 200k though. Harrold is bang out of form this pre-season so we're definitely short of goals.
