'Orns Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Chatting to a Swindon fan earlier, said he'd heard Ferry was coming to us - just found this, thoughts? http://thetownend.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=b064d309aa1ac8e96bc6ca44ea11bd27&topic=39278.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lita For Congo Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Looked lightweight in the final but that's the only time I've seen him and he's had good reviews could be a decent signing if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Who the hell is Simon Ferry? Oh dear, I fear a lot of people are going to get very upset if Steve signs players they have never heard of, as was his wont at Reading. Not that there is any evidence that this rumour is true.

Eddie Hitler Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Oh dear, I fear a lot of people are going to get very upset if Steve signs players they have never heard of, as was his wont at Reading. Not that there is any evidence that this rumour is true. It must be true, the source is impeccable: From the horses mouth on Sunday night. "I'm having my last ever night in Swindon, it's been fun" Then he preceded to get his phone out to try and ring Paul Hartley. Strange. Doesn't sound brilliant from that thread but I don't think they're professional scouts. It's not often that we sign players that people have heard of, Adebola and Trundle maybe.

Nogbad the Bad Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Who the hell is Simon Ferry? Never heard of him, and that's coming from someone who watched a couple of the Swindon play -off games on the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicdaps Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hes the lad who scored the OG at the Valley in the 2nd leg of the play off game by hooking the ball into his own net at the back post from a Charlton corner. Hes had a decent season for them but not sure he would add much to the options we have in MF ? Most of the Swindle fans seem to complain about a lack of goals from MF, think hes more of a deep lying MF player and we've got those options already. However if Coppello thinks hes right then in Coppello I trust. Magicdaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'd rather have Danny Ward, seen him 3 or 4 times this year and looks a decent talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'd rather have Danny Ward, seen him 3 or 4 times this year and looks a decent talent. Agree with this is on loan from Liverpool so championship is next step up for him , we'll see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 And if all come for you (best of luck by the way) how many Natches are we expecting? Agree with this is on loan from Liverpool so championship is next step up for him , we'll see though. Bolton is his club. Regardless, he would be a good player. Decent option down the left or up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolRed11 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Iv heard of Ferry, but I would perfer Coppell to sign more recognisable players that we know can win us promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lita For Congo Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 don't bank on it, coppell seems better at grabbing unknowns rather than big names.

chinapig Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Iv heard of Ferry, but I would perfer Coppell to sign more recognisable players that we know can win us promotion. If you have a list of players who would guarantee promotion let Steve have it asap. You can sign as many "name" players as you like to please some fans but automatic success doesn't necessarily follow. I fear Steve is going to disappoint a lot of people if he pursues his stated preference for rough diamonds, particularly if we are not promoted in his first season.

Pezo Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Iv heard of Ferry, but I would perfer Coppell to sign more recognisable players that we know can win us promotion. As already stated Coppell is the type of manager that will get unknowns and turn them into top players. The problem is if we were to sign more recognisable players there is still no guarantee that they will win us promotion and would cost us a hell of a lot more, do you want to pay an extra £100 on your season ticket?

chinapig Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Why don't you enlighten us me old china rather than assume "people" will get upset?!! My point was that a number of people on here simply want to see what they regard as "big name" signings and that is not Steve's track record. A lot of Reading fans might have said why the hell is he signing people from the Irish League or why is he signing some bloke from Brentford for instance. Personally I don't care whether I have heard of a player, only if he is good. Given Steve's declared preference for rough diamonds we may have some relative or complete unknowns joining us. That may well disappoint those who want names they recognise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
