dcfcdavecov Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 [iNDENT] Inverness Caledonian Thistle have confirmed that striker Adam Rooney is in talks with a number of English clubs. The 23-year-old is a free agent and Inverness are hoping he will agree to stay for at least another 12 months in the Highlands. Inverness are now waiting to see whether the former Stoke man will agree to move back to England or not. "Adam is talking to clubs down south, but he has made it clear that if he can't agree anything then he would be quite keen to come back and sign for us," said Inverness assistant manager Maurice Malpas. "Adam is looking for certain things, not financially, but professionally, from these clubs, so we are leaving the door open for him if nothing happens in England. "It's within his rights to speak to clubs, but Adam has been very professional by keeping us informed of what's happening. "I don't know who he has spoken to or anything like that, but I would imagine it would be clubs in the Championship or at the top end of League One. "From our perspective, however, the good thing is that he hasn't blown us out the water."[/iNDENT] http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 82,00.html Signing for us then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I still think he would be a decent option as one of the two strikers to come in, presuming Maguire isn't included in the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangefleece Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 As i have said before i think Rooney would be a great addition to what is shaping up to be an interesting front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise how good he was, or appears to be. 6ft 2in, at a good age, and 47 goals in 83 appearances over the past two seasons. I'd be surprised to see him end up at lower than Championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samtheram83 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 That just stuns me. although if Crawley are as rich as i keep hearing they could be playing in the championship sooner rather than later and this is surely an indication of their intent. seems odd for a player who refused his contract because he wanted to try himself at a harder level would go to Crawley cos he's mates with the coach. I think he would have been a pretty decent signing from what i've seen of him but if we get Waghorn i'll not be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have to get a massive signing on bonus and low wages if he moves to Crawley. League 2 have a 55% of turnover wage cap, can't see Crawley having massive revenue streams.

Maybe he was dazzled by the bright lights of Derby and Brum and wanted to feel more at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smalley Ram Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 A bit disappointed to be honest, his stats read very well and from what i've read seems perfect for the Championship. Bound to score on his debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 We were only tentatively linked to him anyway. I am shocked he chose Brum over Crawley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
