Rowe reminded me of Doku before he joined Man City. Let's go get him.

Doku is hit and miss, I guess that's wingers for you.

Rowe is only 22? Seriously Bologna, take your pick. Take anybody except McGinn from the forwards/attacking midfielders.

Looking forward to seeing Rowe play again next week, not sure we don’t make him look better than he is with Cash standing off him constantly, possibly because he started on a yellow and we need him next week.  Did like how direct he was though.  Also helpful thst he seemed to control the ball, something Bailey has really struggled with for a season and a half.

I agree, Mustapha Hadji is exactly the player we're crying out for.

It’s kachloul for me.

I always consider Kachloul as "opportunistic free transfer to show how we can still just about chuck our diminishing weight around", rather than "had one of his best ever games against us so we now need to base our whole transfer strategy around him".

As apparently Jonathan Rowe now is.

Yes, your memory is better than mine, I just remember the clamour to get him and it seemed linked with Hadji as they were mates.
