I'm a bit sceptical of this signing to be honest. I can't see Pardew playing him I really can't. I've no doubting his ability I have made a point of looking out for action involving FGR and he looks a good player. BUT Pardew will be under pressure from the off to get results and just don't see him gambling on playing Fleetwood -
i think he will play him i can see Varney being put out on the wing and Fleetwood playing upfront with Toddy or Dicko TBH.
I think Pards will play the" i havent got the players" if results dont come our way
and start saying but look who i have i the team Varney non league 3 seasons ago, Dicko non League 2 seasons ago and Fleetwood non league last year
then there is Shelvey yoof team last year as is waggs potentially when you look at it like that we could end up with 5 out of the starting 11 with no more than 4 seasons of 1st team league footy between them
that is a worry but should make for some intresting reactions on here atleast
[quote][cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]I don't, but i was kind of hoping for a bit more insightfulness than 'just leave it' after we've already signed the bloke ![/quote]
I did say it before as well but Pards ingnored me FFS
I think that McLeod and even Dickson could be loaned out again, Izale could go if the right offer was on the table, dont think Pards would let Dickson go on a transfer because there would be big protests if he did. we have Gray and Toddy who are tho ones who will drop off be the 'missing link' as Pards says then we have Varney / Dickson / Fleetwood to be the smaller quicker fox in the boxes, big man small man always works well for me, then theres big chris to lump on if were 1 nil down to mix it up abit. On paper a quailty forward line, just as last term we just need someone to bloody supply the ball to them, thru midfield and with decent crosses!!

Pray tell me why there would be big protests if Dickson was sold?????????
i bet we hear the king of spin say it at least 2wice in the opening 6 weeks.
they might not start every game but i will change the starting 11 comment for 5 of the first team squad have only 4 seasons of 1st team league footie between them
Because if you have seen him in the resserves or at gillingham the bloke is an unbelivable talent, to go without even getting a look in at the first team would be a joke.. you only have to search around on here and most people would say the same, unless it was somthing stupid like 5 million from a premiere league club that would be ok but that aint gona happen, if he gets a run of games next season watch the boy go, he is like a young Ian Wright he knows where the goal is, if you saw the volley he scored for the gills last season you would be feeling the same.

This is true. I don't think the problem last season was our strikers not taking their chances, it was that they weren't given any! I really hope he's looking for a midfield man. A Graham Stuart type would do me just fine.
The hype surrounding Dickson is nothing short of ridiculous. I'd like to see him get a chance, but i find it infuriating that some rate him so highly off of so few performances and would gladly show players like Izale, who have done much more in league football, the door. If we were to judge players off brief rosy spells then Marcus Bent is worth every penny of £3 mill.
Just anyone who can pick a pass either on the ground splitting the defence or a 20 yard ping out wide to one of the wingers would make such a difference to us. It has to be our number one piority this summer and i hope Pards knows this aswell. we cannot turn up first game of the season with holland and zheng.
can't see they'd be too many protests IF Dickson were to be sold. As with most things we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, a players attitute on the training ground etc. I'm not saying that there is a problem with Dicko but we don't see the whole scenario. From what I've seen he has too many rough edges and another spell on loan is needed in my opinion to iron them out. I'm also not saying that Fleetwood would be a raving success but I do find it strange that those who champion Dickson also write off Fleetwood in the same breath but in truth at least Fleetwood has come up through a professional club and all that brings with it.
Another unknown quantity this chap Fleetwood is which is not neccessarily a bad thing as with Dickson, he is not gonna blow our transfer budget & players at this level will know bugger all about him which is an advantage at any level. Our First line of Gray, Varney, Todorov should be more than good enough at this level then we have the likes of Dickson, Fleetwood & eventually McLeod after injury as back up, sorry Big Chris looks like you will be the odd one out this year.

Not sure how you can say just leave him when you have never seen him play.
Hope I am wrong.

How do you know i have never seen him play?
how come you suddenly establish lots of journo mates all over the country???
Are we going to be playing 4-2-4 this season? It's nice to have a manager who likes a striker, but buy some midfielders!
Is Bart a media snout
I think Pards will play the" i havent got the players" if results dont come our way
and start saying but look who i have i the team Varney non league 3 seasons ago, Dicko non League 2 seasons ago and Fleetwood non league last year

He's already said Shelvey won't play every week.

No, but he is a good contact of mine, but much better looking than me sadly
Because he is the People's Prince !!!
People seem to forget he cant actually trap a ball or pass but heh, if you're all pinning your hopes on him at least you've got some hopes.
They know bugger all about me but I doubt I'll get a look in :-)
