Given that the overwhelming majority of supporters seemed to be of the opinion that Rory Gaffney should be our number one target, he being the all-action centre forward that the club have been seeking for several seasons now, I think that a vote of thanks should be extended to those responsible for delivering him to us. I'm aware that not everything is perfect in the BRFC garden, far from it in fact, but this is a really good piece of news in my book. Roll on Sunday. Absolutely, brizzle!

Nick's use of 'undisclosed' is an interesting one. Usually its what a reporter uses when they don't know the fee because the clubs haven't told them. I've not seen it used like that by the man not doing the disclosing before! I hadn't twigged that aspect of the phrase - just a 'oh here we go' sense on seeing it. Maybe Cambridge haven't told him. Good signing though (subject to the undisclosed fee being no more than some cut-off level though, natch).

I've not seen it used like that by the man not doing the disclosing before! It also applies when the buying club do not want to disclose that they may have "pushed the boat out" regarding a fee or the selling club do not want it known how little they have accepted.
My guess, £20k or lower.

Its not actually a thing though, its just the absence of a disclosure of the fee, which basically means both clubs have agreed to not mention it for reasons such as you suggest. Nick has basically said "there is a fee and you mushrooms don't get to know what it is" which has been par for the course at Bristol Rovers for as long as I can remember. It just amused me. He could have just said fee.

But then if it was just said "fee" people would say how much? It's a general term used by lots of clubs so I'm not really bothered and I have no real interest in knowing what we have paid out.
Glad the ginger one has signed and like others have said he is the type of player we have needed for some time (sadly Blissett's just wasn't good enough imo) but I do have a nagging feeling that he hit a little purple patch in terms of the number of goals he scored here in a small amount of games and I hope that people don't get on his back if he doesn't score with such regularity in the future.
That said I liked what I saw when he was here and again it represents an improvement in our squad which of course any club is always striving for.
Welcome again to the Gas Rory or is it Dean?

Good signing. Out goes Blissett, in comes Gaffney. Solid signing, can hit the ground running. Just make sure we've done a medical and haven't a injury-prone player on our books.

Saying cambridge are a small club surely implies we are bigger? Not all things that are smaller than a small thing are big. Some are just less small. Absolutely. Was Biggie Small? No, he wasn`t.
