formerly known as ivan Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 surely the fact we have signed williams before carle has offically gone to palace would suggest he isnt a direct replacement for him? what if for whatever reason carles transfer falls through? them we have them both. still, good to see us making a singing, hopefully the first of 3 or 4...

Admin Ian M Posted June 27, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Also strangely enough our first signing this Summer falls on the same date as the first signing last Summer. Does this mean the next one arrives on July 12th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean the next one arrives on July 12th?This morning I thought we made a signing on this day last year and thought wouldn't it be strange if we did so again. So every summer now do we need to wait until the 27th? Not exactly excited about this, It's not like the Trundle transfer, More like the Elliott transfer and look what Elliott did and look what Trundle did.

Jordan Tansley Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Although not the most exiting signing ever i am looking foward to seeing this fella in action. reports have so far been positive and GJ always knows best. Hopefully he does well. Greetings Gavin, May our association with you be a pleasant and exiting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From WDP on weds: In an added twist, Carle's transfer to Selhurst Park has been thrown into doubt as the Eagles have also had a bid accepted for Colchester's Mark Yeates. carle 1.2million and neil danns might be part of the deal, all agreed today after passing the medical so if true!! and all reports go to plan that is.... carle 1.2million and neil danns might be part of the deal, all agreed today after passing the medical and that would explain palace bidding on 2 midfielders in carle and Yeates if they let go watson and danns, so city bring in williams to replace russell and danns to replace carle it would make sense, or if no danns then more money to finance a big name striker.. now lets look for strikers..........

simon uk Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 welcome to the club Gavin, may you be blessed with numerous seasons of success, become a fans favourite, score lots of brilliant goals and get us in to the premier league! this does show how far the club have come in the last couple of years, when GJ came in this lad was a mile out of our range ability wise, and now we can get players like this in. Now for a new striker or 2! Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Danns impressed me in the past, I think when he was playing for Colchester. Yes he was... And is not bad. I remember carle was signed as an addition to the squad when everyone was calling for strikers plus moans about why we signed him when we have russell and skuse in the squad, ok carle has done well and is a good player but he is replaceable and could even be sacrificed to make money available to buy a decent striker, having a midfielder chucked in to the deal is a bouns of money for a striker plus a midfielder, if true then it's good business. Not only that if the player is offered more money to play at palace than he is on at city then his head will turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Not a bad goals to game ratio either 1/6 wonder what team he was most prolific with and in what posistion? Hereford. Goals to games ratio is impressive, especially as he was not a regular at West Ham and was injured at Ipswich, although he did score on his debut there.

Now for a new striker or 2! Si. To be fair, it does not show how far the club has come it just shows that we are buying a 'half decent' player who has had injuries and needs a chance. I am a bit disappointed. However... In Gary we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit disappointed. However... In Gary we trust. Our team is made up of players that do not fit in with their current club and they have got us this far. Basso - Woking McCombe - Lincoln McIndoe - Wolves Elliot - Millwall - Fell out with the boss fans disliked him as well. Just to name a few.

Cider Jaaarn Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 As a Yeovil fan I can tell you the Gavin is one exciting footballer and a character as well. Once described by GJ as 'daft as a brush' he failed to turn up at a team mates wedding, a big posh do as well, just didn't turn up. He did the Ayatola to the swansea fans several times and even at the Vetch, you will spot the reception he gets from Swansea fans. At a club open day he would give kids his autograph and then put a cross on their forehead with a marker pen so they didn't come back for an another. He is a great pratical joker as well, not sure how McIndoe will greet him. One possible downside, he was at his best in a 5 man midfield, he can unbalance a team because he would never play a position as such. Some felt our team was more effective after he left. Am I envious that you have Johnson, McIndoe and Williams, yes as green as our shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Jaaarn Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Meant to say he can play as a 2nd striker or in the hole so would seem to be more of a Noble type than Carle from what little I know of those 2. Would that be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, yes since the Williams story has came out and Carle looking like leaving I have been wondering if 3-5-2 is on GJ's mind for us next season I can't see it being used often but it may be lined up as an option, seeing we have so many players who had success with GJ using this style.
