    If it's a choice between us and Forest, where has has been very sucessful on two previous occassions and where he would be involved in a promotion push, I can only see one winner!

    Yes, does depend if his family live down here though I would have thought.

    I don't even know who he is - can we not go after a player I have heard of?

    He's quite good to be fair.
    How many times have you seen him play Danny?

    Unless the free agent has been training for months, I doubt they'll be fit enough for the run in.

    We definitely need another loan or two, have to move onto other targets instead of seemingly giving up after losing out for a few.

    You don't have to be able to run around like a headless chicken for 90 mins to be an effective player. I remember seeing an aging Jan Molby down at the Valley and he bossed the game without leaving the centre circle.
    I think you mean the opening game of the season at Smellhurst in 1988 when a podgy Molby played sweeper and took the piss in their 3-0 win.

    Great player.
    No I think he is talking about an occasion much later when the great Dane played for Barnsley on loan.

    I remember laughing when I saw what I thought was an out of condition Molby taking the field for the Tykes.What followed was a master class of centre cycle midfield play.

    It worries me that with a small squad and with 2 to 3 games a week until the end of the season. If we get any injuries plus fatigue, we will have to rely on fringe players such as Cook, Hollands and Pritchard. I am not saying they will not do their best but if they cannot get into the match day squad, how can we rely on them. SCP wanted to send them out on loan, no chance now, unless we get any loans in.

    Yeah we certainly need some bodies in. I read this morning that Darcy Blake will be snapped up by Brum this week as an unattached player. There are players out there.

    A couple of times every day I look for this thread - hoping to see it back where it belongs - towards the top of the list - giving us all a bit of hope for the long awaited reinforcements that most people believe will give us a fighting chance of avoiding relegation. So sorry if I've given anyone hope by updating it! Still hoping but beginning to think we've got to make the best of what we've got!

    Bastard!!!! ;-) All joking aside I am not holding my breath and I think RD will expect CP to get on with the squad he has.

    Wow, fair enough, I had no idea he had played for Barnsley against us at The Valley.

    You say there is plenty of time to bring players in, but is there? We will be playing two games per week till the end of the season. If we get a player or two at the end of the loan window which is the twenty fourth March. By that time we would have played four league games and one FACup. If we lose all four we are in deep do do.

    Great, we need a couple of players now to add to what we have for the relegation fight but you expect a couple in when we get some injuries.

    God help us if any key players get injured.

    I was there, one of my favourite players was quite sad to see how he had let himself go, until he dominated the game and then I was quite sad how he had not let himself go a bit more.

    Look on the bright side at least we won't be able to replace them with sub standard Liege loans.

    I don't understand it.

  • By all accounts we signed Fuller due to a fan's prompting at a Q&A. Can anyone suggest any decent strikers not getting a game who may be under CP*s radar?

    Luciano Becchio
    Harry Kane
    Michael Smith ( oh..)
  • Apostolos Vellios?

    Bless you!!!
  • Is Kane (and Obika) really without a club? Surely CP's Spurs connections can sway Sherwood? CMS must be near fit now? Have Leicester or Watford any fringe strikers?



  • Strikers: Ivan Klasnic, Dexter Blackstock, Matt Fryatt, Vaz Te,

    Midfielders: Guedioura, Guly Do Prado, Conor McAleny, Lloyd Isgrove, Tommy Smith, Thomas Eisfield, S. Quinn, C. Henderson

    I like some of these names on this list and most of them seem realistic.

  • Was trying to be as realistic as possible without looking into it too much. They're just names from the top of my head, have a feeling McAleny from Everton is still injured though.

    Please no. Awful player, live with a Saints fan who thinks that he's their worst ever player

    I saw a few Arsenal U21 games at Barnet and liked Eisfeld and Henderson.I know Henderson is at Hull now and wondered whether they would let him come to us because they are still in the FA Cup and he seems to be on the bench in those games.

    Although not in the same league as Julian Gray ,Hayden Mullins or Darren Purse ,Tommy Smith has been linked with us before .I have always liked him at this level.

    Agree he's poor in the prem, but were not looking for someone of Prem standard. From what I've seen he'd be an improvement on what we have and can be useful in this division, only my opinion though.

    I did briefly wonder whether SWP was still possible last night as he was not named by Murray.
