I don't understand how I'm moaning about Eccleston coming in.
When I made reference to squad balance it was because I could not see such an easy pattern of Eccleston in Abbot out as was posted on here. As completely different strikers I said that I don't think that's the case in my opinion. One of them is pacey, off the shoulder, the other is physical and meant to hold the ball up and be an aerial threat.
How has that got anything to do with my opinion on Eccleston?

Sorry I got the idea you wasn't with it all that's all. Sorry for the mistake.
I agree that we've seen little of Abbott to impress, but that is mainly because we haven't seen anything of him because he hasn't been given much playing time.
I hope Abbot is on his way, never good enough, no pace, bad first touch, whether his strengths were not played to or not! The exciting thing is that if he is out it means we will be getting another striker in.
Paynter would be a good shout as would Austen from Swindon. Im sure chucking enough cash his way in wages could satisfy the ego. Natural goalscorer that we have lacked since Bent.

Paynter no, Austin, Yes for me.
[cite]Posted By: Redrobo[/cite]Mido a free agent and training with Middlesborough. Good player to have and no fee.
Mido was on £40k a week only a year ago? Regardless of how shit he is he aint going to drop to £2k a week or whatever our wage structure will support now.
he has no money worries and never has from a young lad due to his seriously wealthy upbringing, every single team he has been at he has been accused of being a lazy bstd and somone who does not care
to be honest he wasn't given a fair crack when Benson was under performing. I never really saw in him what everyone else seemed to at the start of the season, but if he wasn't played he's not likely to score.
Cracking finish against Swindon, has done little else, but i think he should have been given a try with proper wingers feeding him in the box.
If he goes, i'd not be too disappointed, but more because i don;t think we played him right, and no point having him in the team if we aren;t going to play to his strengths which should be in the air and in front of goal. He is not a pacey player and is never likely to beat defences to the ball. But he is a big target man and should be used like that.
I think Abbott is decent but hasn't been given a chance. Would rather keep hold of him at the moment but depends on who we sign. I know Paynter scored a lot for Swindon last year but wasn't he rubbish his whole career before that? I havn't checked so may be wrong.

I prefer Abbot to Sodje, He hasnt been given a chance in my eyes, Abbot is better then Sodje. Sodje wouldnt have scored a goal like that against swindon. Sodje is two bob hes goals against Leeds and Yeovil thats all he did last year.
Who should we really sign? Apparently we've got money to spend. I think we need a whole new team. That team we got is certainly not going up.
Comments
Mate of mine mentioned o'Grady a few months ago - said he looked a cut above the rest of his team. Same mate reckons Eccleston is very good too
That's my view on it also.
completely different types of strikers though, doesn't do a lot to squad balance
come on lets be honest have we had any balance recently.
who's moaning?
Billy Paynter from Leeds
Agree with Mart that if we are moving players out that is a sign of more coming in.
Phil CHapple still around BTW[/quote]
I told OohAah about Paynter last week!
You tapping my phone???!
Ermmm with out sounding rude, you?

Is there anything in the Paynter thing or is it just wishful thinking?

NO, this is a wind up, right?

I believe he was.
