Ray White Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hopefully it means Clarkson is off - complete waste of 800k. pillock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcherryberry Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 pillock Your the pillock fella. Strikers are judged on goals. 50+ appearances for Clarky bagging 11 goals. Yes a complete waste of 800k and never good enough for this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just watched a Rotheram goals compilation of last year and Taylor produces some good finishes in the video. Definitely looks similar to Stead in the parts of the video he is in. For his best efforts go to 6:06, 7:10, 10:18 and 12:22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman_Stand Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I would imagine this will see Clarkson moved on, give the lad a chance some of his finishes seem decent enough last season so maybe somewhat of a late developer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I would imagine this will see Clarkson moved on, give the lad a chance some of his finishes seem decent enough last season so maybe somewhat of a late developer!! from what ive been reading on there forum he's improving every year. They all seem abit unsure if he will make it but they also say he may have become abit stale/complacent ala elliott at millwall. i personaly dont see this as a big risk and adds cover for stead, but i do see this as the end for clarky unless millen will see him as more of an attacking midfielder ?

Dynamite Red Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Up and coming target man, cheap squad player, low wages and I trust Millen and Wigleys eye for talent. Now for a Left back and centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclovin BS14 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I just don't understand this to be honest?

Jordan Tansley Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Cut out long balls? Ha. One of our biggest problems last season was when the defenders cleared their lines, the ball came straight back because it didn't stick to our strikers. Jon Stead is tall, does he promote long ball? Bloody hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ffs he ain't even signed yet and he's being slagged off. Unbelievable I know look at the outrage last season when we signed albert but the happieness when we signed nicky hunt, People should make a judgement after they've seen him pull on a red shirt and play, Remember a player called Bobby Zamora who wasn't good enough for Rovers? went to weston on loan and Brighton signed him and their fans moaned like hell then and now he plays for england, he is and never was a potant goal scorer pitching in with between 10 -14 goals a year (the same as kevin davis) Don't write the lad off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hudds fan i work with saw him play last season and rates him. I think we're probably bringing him in because he's cheap and wants low wages which will allow us to take a hit in terms of a fee for getting rid of Clarkson. Free up some wage bill, etc. At the risk of sounding like a fat little cockney, another club in the bag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yep, we should get all the players we need in the exact order of priority. And we should also assume that this player isn't replacing another squad member. And we should also slag off every signing if we haven't got a clue what is going on behind the scenes. Not slagging any signing off - just making a point We have plenty of time to bring in players. But out of all the positions we need. We dont need a winger or a striker.... and thats what we've got!! Anyhow - I realise its too early too judge. Roll on August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset_Sam Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Not slagging any signing off - just making a point Pre-season training starts on the 1st of July, season starts on the 6th of August, if we havent brought in any defenders by the mid of July I would be worried, if we havent got any new defenders by the the start of the season I would question what the mangement team have been up to. Until then just let them get on with it, maybe we shouldnt announce any signings until they are all here and we can do it in the order people want!!

One of our biggest problems last season was when the defenders cleared their lines, the ball came straight back because it didn't stick to our strikers. Jon Stead is tall, does he promote long ball? Bloody hell. Jon Stead does promote long balls, although he is a better player when the ball is at his feet, our defenders see a big man up front and they just pump it up at him. When we played Maynard/Clarkson or Maynard/Pitman we looked a much better team and it was alot better to watch. I feel sorry for stead as he always has the ball just pumped up to him and that isnt even his game! So if we bring in this bloke, we are obviously planning for some direct long balls forward, otherwise Millen would have gone out and signed someone with pace. Lets just see what happens, im not slating him before he even plays for us, but just feel it will ecourage long ball and thats not what you wanna see as a mid table side!

We do if Albert's off to African nations cup and we end up with a injury to a striker (Maynard) or Jackson goes out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
