Longacre_red Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The only thing i remember about him was when him and GJ squared up at ashton gate on promotion year!! Scary looking bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetjef Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 good spot no better than existing CB's but decent enough as backup. Going out of contract so prob miniscule fee aswell, does make me worry a little for wilson though. If he is the prospect he is being touted to be then I'm surprised he isnt deemed ready to be our 4th choice CB yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan 7 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I thought he was quite good, when he played against City a few times for Swansea. Think he would be just about good enough for backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longacre_red Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hes getting a lot of abuse on their 606 site!! The main reason Swanseaspur was, because he was costing us points almost every time he played, his mistakes almost always cost us goals, plus he was injured 60% of the time he spent at Scunny. can't say that I am dissapointed as his form was very woeful. Hopefully as someone else pointed out on there he wasnt giving 100% and he turns out to be a very astute signing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanC Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 We signed another player once can't remember who it was and the first we heard of it was another manager saying he had turned them down and was coming to us instead so il take this as truth and he will be coming here.

BristolCity4Life Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Iriekpen isn't good enough for League One, has a bad attitude too. Watched him once for Swansea and he was awful (totally left a player unmarked from a free kick) and has a head like a fifty pence piece. My Swansea supporting mate tells me that Iriekpen is one of the poorest centre backs they've had in years, just has pace and nothing else. Please, let's not sign him!! :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Iriekpen is a joke and definately not good enough IF we want to progress. James Wilson is MUCH better but needs games to get experience either here at BCFC or out on loan for 3 months. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanC Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 So lets just slag off a potential new signing even before he kicks a ball for us. As I see it I don't care what other players have done for other clubs when they come to us its a clean slate and I form a opinion on them based on what they do in a City shirt.

Regardless of what he is like off the field on the field i really don't think he would be good enough, For swansea he was decent in League 1 but the championship as we all know is a completly different ball game. I think we should be looking at players that have had experience at this level IMO unless they are good young prospects like Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh red Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Seems an very odd signing if true? remember him playing against us few times for Swansea in the past and never really been impressed with him even at that level. still he's only likely to be backup and on a free transfer and a contract till the end of the season he'll be ok until Riberio and Wilson are 100% fit.

Good point; league one defenders can't cut in in the championship I can't think of a single defender in our back 4 who played for us in league one, that could have cut it in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Guess I'm not allowed an opinion now? Now now, don't be touchy. Your opinion is as valid as mine, all I am saying is that I will trust the opinion of our management team first, because I think they will have done their homework on the guy not just watched one game.

Chappers Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I hope this is not true, he sounds like yet another modest journeyman. All the rumours about Premier League sides looking at Wilson, and we sign another centre-back relegating him to 5th choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Parrot Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Never seen too much of him but when I saw him at Swansea I always thought he looked like a very good player.

SJC Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Clearly there are areas of a greater perceived need but the signing of Webster, who was obviously recently released, shows that Johnson thinks we need defensive cover. And considering up until recently Skuse was the first port of call for that cover then the move starts to make more sense. A player with something to prove perhaps, we know Gary loves one of those.

The only logical explanation if it's more to it is that Johnson is grateful he diden't get beat up in easter time 2007 and now it's payback time.
