I think the negativity towards RM is somewhat harsh. If you look at some of the players that have come up to the spl in recent years and done really well it shows that the drop in standard from the spl isnt as high as it used to be. Swanson and conway at utd, stevenson and templeton and webster at hertz all spring to mind. Some of these boys started of their careers at bigger clubs too before dropping down to the lower leagues, impressing, then getting back to being pro's again. If we sign RM then its clearly because CB thinks he's worth a shot and should be treated as such, treating him with contempt just because he came from being part time is fucking stupid. I know for a fact that the boy had an attitude problem as a kid (see my earlier post on this thread) and i also know from someone he works with that he's really started screwing the nut over the past year or so. His form suggests he is worthy of a second chance, i have been very frustrated by some of the bargains that have been picked up from the lower leagues over the past 5 years by other clubs when afc have clearly been clueless as to the players existence. I hope we do sign him, he was a player of real potential as a kid and maybe he's on the verge of realising it.
