    Picture on Facebook of him walking into the stadium. Looks authentic (deffo VP) and looks like very much like him.

    Looks a good signing, not a bad record and seemingly works hard and fits into various formations.

    Don't know much about him but his goalscoring record over the last two seasons isn't too bad

    Id have to disagree. Looking at his stats he looks like a bottom end EFL / non-league journeyman who hardly ever hits double figures in goals in a season. Another Theo Robinson type waste of squad space IMO.

    Tried to find it again but it's either gone or too far down my timeliness. Possibly photos hopped and removed ?

    Stick it in the fake rumour bin.

    Last two seasons record in a poor team are far better than Robinson, Elliott & Drlfounso combined. What anyone has done longer than two years ago is irrelevant really.

    Has a great record over the last two seasons.
    The stats on his aerial ability are impressive as well.
    Positive words from Gillingham fans also.
    I’d be pleased with this one, realistically we’re not going to bring in much better ‘big forrad’ at this level

    You're consistent with crap posts mate. You need to understand that we're in League Two and not the Championship. I'm sure you'll be the first to call him an amazing signing if he scores a hattrick on his debut

    Had a look at his 'thank you and goodbye' tweet to Gillingham fans in May. Not only are the comments 100% positive, there are also a handful of tweets from City fans asking him to come to Bradford, and a number of other tweets from fans of other clubs including Plymouth, Northampton and Shrewsbury asking him to sign for them. He might not be the big name signing that had been rumoured, but he sounds to be a decent option at this level.

    Oh do give over. You know zero about him. Non of us do . If it is him signing give him a chance before he kicks a ball.

    Our bantamlad is probably one of those fans convinced we were signing Jordan Rhodes or Andy Carroll

    No, as I said old hat.Someone said it was Northampton ground because it’s claret door. What is to say it was even taken yesterday.? Let events take their course imho.

    The person that posted it said they took it yesterday. Can't see why they would lie about that.

    Have a look at the bottom right hand side of the Bradford City crest, e.g. here:
    [​IMG]
    Now compare it to the left hand side of the 'Vadaine Oliver' photo. Looks to me like it's Bradford City and not Northampton.

    Neither can I but there has been so many absolutely mind blowing “ targets” named already that it is impossible to know fact from fiction. Hence it’s all fiction until it happens. Nothing wrong with speculation, it harms nobody. However it does create………..

    Yes call me sceptical . I also think that photo has been severely cropped….
