Yes, but in the time it takes to load a story up on the OS with a picture etc, a phone call to a friendly journalist has already sent the story around the world... that's why the OS seldom if ever actually gets to break a story. Not their fault. Just the way it is.
We couldn't sign him but we can loan him. Bouazza is owned by Fulham but has played for us and Brum on loan.
Bouazza hasn't played for Fulham this season though.
No but he's owned by them. Another better example is Lita who's played for Reading and Norwich and can still sign for someone else. Its the permanent deals that have the 3 clubs in a season issue.
But the proposed four-player deal fell through when the former Sunderland and Burnley striker, who made his Charlton debut against Stoke 12 months ago, pulled the plug because he wants to remain in London following a family illness.
Thought that was THE reason for gray wanting to move back up north. No?
Is he any good as a player? not sure but gives us some width I guess now that Bouazza has gone but seem to remember that he preferred playing in the middle.
Let's hope he and Hudson get boo'ed that the Valley and both go on to score.
[cite]Posted By: CAFCBourne[/cite]We cant see the point in signing another player perhaps its because the others are no fu(king good we are bottom of the league
[cite]Posted By: BigRedEvil[/cite]No sure how much benefit we will get out of this if it's only for a month, our track record of loan signings hasn't exactly been impressive.
Just looked and in that month he can play in 6 league games. At the end of those games we'll either be back in with a chance of survival or be dead and buried. If we're in with a shout theres every chance it could be extended, if we're dead and buried he'll probably go back to save us money on wages. It's unlikely Stoke will want him back if he's barely featured all season.

Exactly. I was trying to explain that to Sailor Browneye but I don't think he quite got it : - )
Pericard did a stint at Plymouth Gargoyle a year or 2 back.
26 years old. Quite big and strong, sharp mover, scored 4 goals in 13 matches for the Greenies ...... but 3 in one match against the Covs.
Just asked one of my Greenie mates, would you have him back?
Answer: "Well, he wasn't too bad but dunno really, didn't really set the place on fire. Nah, nope."
PS: Interesting fact: Followed his manager Tony Pulis around a bit, at Stoke, Argyle and back at Stoke again.

Hasn't his family moved down here?
Just what Birmingham need, a midfielder!!
Some people are saying the same thing about us!
soares in!

We could have Gash Soares in the team!!
:-)
Talking to the Palace fan in my office, he didn't rate him. Too inconsisent and doesn't like playing out wide
I think it is a good signing.
We've played 4-4-1-1 for 3 games now, with this many CMs Parkinson must be looking at keeping it that way.
I guess it gives us more options though with Semedo now out, but what happens when Zheng Zhi and Racon are back? We'll far too many CMs.
Or is Parkinson expecting some to leave, most likely 1 or even all 3 of ZZ, Ambrose and Shelvey?
Yes but we haven't got Bowyer, Larsson, Quashie, Carsley, Bouazza, Sinclair and Mcsheffrey.
Ours are much better: Shelvey, Bailey, Soares, Racon, Semedo, Holland, Spring, Zhi, Wright, Arter, Ambrose... errr Sinclair (Dean, that is)
How are we not top of the league :0)

forward is quite possibly the wrong choice of word for that sentence! :-)

Pericard was a good player the year Pompey went up but what has he done since?
Four months I believe ;-)
26 years old. Quite big and strong, sharp mover, scored 4 goals in 13 matches for the Greenies ...... but 3 in one match against the Covs.
