ciderup Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 We don't have one, well not as used one as you say. TGR and TGR2 were decent but the silly behaviour of a few and the sensitivities of a few more meant the Mods called it a day. Hence I am homeless and hanging around here. Used to go on the now extinct Gas forum but for some reason I got barred, sensitivities again! Thanks Jaaarn. Most of us have been banned from the filthy sag forum too so you'll be alright on here. I was banned for asking who their local rivals would be, Forest Green or salisbury? Seems a fair question to me but the 'super fans' didn't like it. Welcome to OTIB.

Thanks, looks like it will be FGR as Salisbury seem to be going the way of Hereford. At this rate the Gas will be the biggest non-league team in the South.

Lrrr Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Think this looks pretty dead in the water unless activity is going the other way, can't see both Little and Ayling signing to be in competition with each other as new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah but you thought that about the Spanish kids. Blimey, I missed this the other week! You can't let it lie, can you Es! I never said anything about us signing those Spanish kids. Once they'd arrived, I did mention that I was aware we had a lad from Valencia on trial. I said nothing else about the ones we actually signed. You really are making stuff up about me mate. Is senility setting in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe. Maybe a City player heading in the other direction too... Oh you tease, you. So this will be the second right back coming in? Seems odd. Unless Moloney is the makeweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe.Maybe a City player heading in the other direction too... Interesting. Like Bristol 86 I think the signing of a second RB shouldn't be a priority and do wonder how both he and Little could be accommodated. You tend to know stuff and to me there are 4 on the wage bill that SC probably doesn't want, of which Moloney (as opposed to El-Abd who they transparently couldn't afford in wages terms) seems a more likely makeweight than Parish or Wynter.

Lew-T Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Fairly obvious Cotts doesn't rate Maloney. Yep, that's what I thought. Cotts always played Osbourne right back before Maloney! But now we're without Nosworthy that would leave room in that area. However, we have signed Little so I don't understand why we would need this Ayling bloke? That's if Kid is correct...

Kid in the Riot Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I have no idea if Ayling is coming here or not but he can play centre back or right/left back or defensive midfield. Very versatile, equally adept with right and left foot, and competent in any defensive position. Great backup for those positions and potential for first choice in one of them. Same for Smith, full back, defensive midfield or attacking midfield. Or Freeman, wide player, centre midfield or up front. SC is getting a decent smallish squad together which has cover throughout. Agreed for example... Ayling Osborne Williams Little Cunningham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2009/apr/28/arsenal-luke-ayling-scouting-report-steve-claridge Note the position...Ayling is pretty versatile having played as a defensive midfielder also. I can't believe he'd be signing as direct competition for Little who is much more of an attack minded player. Steve Claridge's article in The Guardian (dated April 2009, so 5 years ago) is interesting, but so are the comments - especially this one. 'He's 17. I suspect there's a good chance he'll grow beyond the 5.11 and put on some bulk. Having said that a few years out on loan to a decent league team like Leyton Orient wouldn't be a bad thing at all. 'Having watched a reasonable amount of the Youth and reserve games on the Arsenal website. Its a real pleasure to see them doing so well in the Youth Cup and to see so much British talent coming through. Jack Wilshere is the obvious name given what he's shown in the carling cup.But the other one that i reckon will be a big talent is Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. He most definitely has the athleticsim and skills. A true future heir to Viera's crown in the middle. So much talent though throughout the team. Lets hope they all make good progress over the next few years.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Agreed for example... Ayling Osborne Williams Little Cunningham That's how I see it if he signs. He is 6ft 1 and would add some composure to the defence. Another player being chased by Championship clubs, experience of getting out of this league, another astute signing if true.

Oh I don't know. We know that Maloney is not really in SC's plans. Little comes in with versatility to play RB, RWB or RW (note he started the home game against us last year at RW). Ayling is a quality player also with versatility - can play RB, CB or RCB in a 3. When quality versatile players come along, you gotta do all you can to get them, particularly if you're looking for a smaller but higher quality squad.

I get what you're saying but don't forget we are a league 1 club. On your logic, one of Little or Ayling would become a back-up regardless of their diversity. There is no way we are in a position to sign one of those players to be a back-up and frankly there's no way one of them would sign for us to be back-up.
