Hampden...?Where would he be going with a cup final in ten days?

If we are being really honest it’s probably the only reason we managed to get him.Don't understand people saying how big a waste of money he has been.
What do you think his Braga and Betis goals made the club? Cup semi final winner v sheep etc.
Not to mention huge role in 55.
He's repaid his transfer fee with that Betis winner alone pretty much.
Wish him well. He didn't like being injured, it's plagued him his entire career.
Mr Versace, was Jimmy Bell.What’s Versace got to do with it?
Hampden...?
If Gio just gave that man 15 minutes in Seville. He gave him 3 minutes and he got in behind their back line twice.
That October to January in the 55 sesson where he carried the attacking part of out team on terms of numbers won't be forgottenHe’ll forever be a “what if” player sadly. Somewhere between a Mols and a Rosental in terms of what he gave us overall and what he could have were it not for injuries. He’ll always have 55 and I’ve many happy memories of the big man. All the best whatever he chooses next!
I wonder how much his goals against Braga and Betis were worth to us?A total of 100 appearances over four seasons (just 28 in the last two!) and 38 goals.
All in he’ll have cost us the guts of £10 million (almost £100k per appearance).
A shining example of the poor recruitment that has fucked us for years.
Yeah I really don’t get the whole “stealing a wage” nonsense on here - he more than paid us back what we spent for him inc wages vs what he gave us. Far more than a Ryan Kent for example. A fully fit Roofe we’d have been sitting with 4 in a row just now but that doesn’t mean he didn’t contribute.That October to January in the 55 sesson where he carried the attacking part of out team on terms of numbers won't be forgotten

Hope so too. I'd be tempted to play him as a starter in the final, and substitute him with Dessers once he's run out of steam.Surely we will keep him around just in case we need him for the Cup Final? If Dessers picks up a knock we are in serious trouble up front
A few million.
Similarly, I wonder how many cups, titles and even European trophies we might have won (with the attacked financial benefits) had he been fit and available more often.
We’re not in the position to make a £10 million investment in a player to only have them contribute occasionally - we need the level of contribution you’ve highlighted much more often than not.
If we keep accepting otherwise we’ll keep watching that mob lift title after title after title.
I’ll be forever grateful for aribo, that feeling was unbelievable when that goal went it.
But running up to it, whenever Roofe met fans plus his cryptic posts, he was fit and ready to play.
We lost a final, one of the problems was due to a perma-injured player, I’m not thinned skinned at all.Maybe he felt he was? Maybe it was mind games with Frankfurt?
I think you need to be a wee bit thin skinned to feel you got led on by a strikers fitness. Especially given he did play a part in the final (and took penalty 5).
With about £7m in wagesHe came, he scored arguably the greatest goal i've ever seen a Rangers player score, and he left
I await his post, ‘Last time walking past Ward 1, Suite 101 at Ross Hall.’
I’ll never forgive him for leading fans on that he was fit for Seville, if only we had a striker willing to play a European final, fit or not.
Full post of absolute brain rot. "Fit or not" ffs.I await his post, ‘Last time walking past Ward 1, Suite 101 at Ross Hall.’

We took a risk on an injury prone player who we couldn't have afforded otherwise. Helped us to 55, since that hasn't worked out. Some of the grief he gets is ridiculous.Aribo led the line well and scored. Roofe came on and almost got an assist for the winner.
His performance against Braga got us into the semi final.
I think you're way off it here to be honest.
Roofe gave us some big goals, but couldn't stay fit. A genuine "what if" as he could have been top class for us.
I hope he finds a good club to see out his career.
Fair enough if that’s your assessment of a player that’s played less than 104 games for us. 68 in the league according to transfer market. That’s a terrible return.Full post of absolute brain rot. "Fit or not" ffs.

On a plane?
Can’t see him playing much meaningful football again.Good player, fucked with injuries. Hope he can get over it and get a decent and successful move somewhere.
More than likely mateCan’t see him playing much meaningful football again.
He looks mentally and physically done.
