Slave to the rhythm Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Offer is likely to be cash and a player - experience stopper Coughlan.←If you read it closely, the article says that they are likely to offer us Coughlan "in exchange" for Coles. Will we also receive money? I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatWill Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't think Coles will go for more than £200k. But if we get around the same for Miller then all of a sudden it seems we'll have some cash to splash.Nelson is undoubtedly number 1 on the shopping list.Can we trust Tinnion to buy some decent players though?Orr and Dinning both look sub-standard. Heffernan seems a pointless signing if never used. Jamie Smith is very hit and miss, bringing back Carey? Brooker is the only one who has convinced on a regular basis to be honest.I'd rather use the money to poach Gary Johnson or bring in some other manager with a PROVEN track record.Also, I'd have Brian Jones back and get in some decent coaching staff which would mean bye bye Millen and Shaun Taylor.

Alex Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 whos Coughlan? if he can't get in their team then why do we need him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Another 30 year old for a 23 year old, that sounds fair ???? Hope there is some cash involved. Cardiffs 500K offer is now not relevant based on current form, but based on potential even half that amount would mean 150k in cash. Cant see a 30 year old who may be no better than Ireland costing 100k or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evocare Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Good, I can't wait for that slacker to leave our club, i would let him go for a free if i was in charge, DC is the most overated Centre back in the country.Why Plymouth want him is a mystery, why ANYONE wants him is also utterly perplexing.Remember this (I tried to say a naughty word) has cost us so dear in recent history, and i just can't wait foe him to just FOAD!Goto Plymouth Danny, see if anyone cares, noone will, bacuase your a sad, childish common ######, shut the door on yr way out and give us the key, we don't want you back EVER!

Slave to the rhythm Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Nelson is undoubtedly number 1 on the shopping list.←Do you really, honestly, think that our shambles of a club could persuade a talented player to leave the North East where, presumably, he is currently settled and happy?I fear that it's more likely that the money we will hopefully receive from Miller and Coles will be used to cover this year's mounting losses.

BCAGFC Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 If it happens(150k plus Coughlan)it will be a good bit of business as he was one of the better defenders in our division last season, although not necessarily any better than Ireland. Just seen the goals from Hartlepool v Wrexham and although not exactly to blame for any of the goals Nelson looked slow/hesistant and indecisive (don't know if his defensive parter Westwood was playing as this may have contributed to his performance). I know he has always had outstanding games against us and everyone is entitled to one or two bad games but I would prefer a much more experienced player (Coughlan/Ireland) than Nelson or Evatt, just look what we signed in a certain Shaun Taylor and he was no spring chicken.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted March 7, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 A Plymouth supporting friend of mine descibes Coughlan as such: Tall, (but ugly) old fashioned centre back, who takes no prisoners. Will never give up and always gives 110%. Good in the air, but lacks a bit in pace, and has a bit of trouble coping with pacy strikers. He rates him more highly though than his defensive partner Wotton who has just been offered a new 3 and a half year deal. Coughlan asked for the same and was refused.He was good enough to get Plymouth promoted. Oh and the only 3 games he's missed this season have been due to suspension for a red card.

Boxing Kangaroo Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Coughlan profile from the Plymouth website - http://www.pafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squad...0.html?ptvParm=Sounds like he could be just what we need. I can't see Plymouth letting him go though as he seems like a vital cog in their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGILLA Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Great! Swapping a 23-year old Bristolian Academy product for a 31-year old journeyman from Plymouth. Building for the future with all these players over 30? Yet another Academy product out the door? Dinning (Tinnion signing) has an attitude problem already! Is there a pattern? Would it not be better to change the management rather than to demolish completely the squad that finished 3rd last year (and the year before)?

Is he uglier than Ade Williams, the very ugly bloke we tried to sign earlier in the season who could look in two directions at the same time? Lets hope so, too many pretty boys at AG. Good if Coles goes too, 150k. plus sell-ons please, he might just decide he wants to play for another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tactical Genius Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Magilla, Coles has an attitude problem.Look at it as swapping an over-rated academy product who believes his own hype and has an attitude problem for a journeyman from plymouth who has actually achieved something in the game over the past couple of years.

Hodges17 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Couldnt make a better comparison if I wanted to Tom.

Guest bbmat03 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well IF he went he would certianly do the job for you. I don't think he is out of contract yet so a fee maybe involved but it looks like were going to pay and gets Coles as well. (What is he like by the way). Many people think that he could have been called up to the Republic of Ireland squad if he was younger. Wears his heart on his sleeve and has a no nonsense approach. I also worry when he lofts balls up in the air but I don't think thats a weakness. He seems to be really happy so I can't see why he would leave. A good header of the ball and also dangerous in the box around attacking corners loves getting in there and would have no problem putting his body on the line. All round good centere back Divison 2 player of the season last year so has quality . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of season ago he was very good and one of the best defenders in the league. Possibly one of the best defenders outside the Premiership at that time. Since then he's started believing his own hype. Last season he wasn't that good and this season his decline has continued and he's been very poor apart from a couple of decent games (Tranmere away springs to mind). It doesn't help matters that he (like some of our other players) doesn't get on with the manager and that his heart doesn't seem to be in it anymore.Your description of Coughlan makes him sound just like the kind of player we are so desparately missing at the moment. I, for one would love to see this 'rumoured' move go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatWill Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't know if Bryant and Coles were mates as such but they definetly knew each other. I saw them out in Bristol once, messing around and Bryant was trying to set fire to Coles (I kid you not!).Don't think Bryant liked the fact that gashead Colesy played for City!On the subject of Bryant he was a CLASS A nobber, and it's no wonder he's wasted his career away - just like another Patchway boy, step forward Lewis Hogg.

He's a t##t. This type of player always bites the hand that feeds them: Garry Thompson made Hogg Captain and hogg repaid him by being ###t.Phil Bater gave Bryant one more chance to get back into the Rovers set up and Bryant repaid him by turning up hammered to training.I am happy for City that you are getting rid of Coles; you won't regret it.Talking of wasters....Dwayne Plummer anyone?
