I think that’s a positive move .
Ingram is a good keeper but it’s always better to have permanently signed players and build a side around them.
Good news .

On a side note, it appears we're finally building for the future again. One less player needed for this summers recruitment drive.

Rotherham fan dissapointed to lose him, in the most, so that's good to see.

Seems like a good signing and good to finally nail down a No.1 after the debacle in the summer.

It seems our esteemed Head of Recruitment is starting to find some decent players

Seems like he has a decent pedigree.

My big question is: why are Rotherham letting him go and why did they sign this Rodak guy on loan to replace him?

I agree, it also shows JFH’s longer term strategy that signed players are a much better option than loans.

Sounds like a manager decision to play Rodak. Their fans seem to think ROD is better.

A 6ft2 Richard? I just assumed we'd be calling him Big Dick?

Now where is this massive Koch we've all heard about?

I hope we sign him as well, just in case we get the commentator stating:

"Koch to Facey...."

"Koch was all over him."

And all the other greats.  :afro
