Nogbad the Bad Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I was glad Ipswich have gone in for him because I consider that a good step forward... I don't consider Watford, Crewe or Brighton title contenders... I'd like to see Parkin up there not struggling. Good luck to the guy.I can see King going for Akinfenwa merely because City have! Kingy has been in high admiration of Bristol City of late... But there's money involved so I don't know. I can see Akinfenwa join us that's not to say he will... I predicted Christian Roberts long before it was announced.King has funnily enough already talked to Tony Thorpe, doubt anything will come of it.← I gloomily preduicted on here that King would go for Roberts immediately after the City v Everton game when Roberts was outstanding and co-commentator King was gushing in his praise of him. I've never heard anything like it from a rival manager and i imagine it was music to Robbo's ears as well when it came to making his mind up. I actually quite like King ( ) despite his threats that Swindon would beat City next time etc. He speaks with passion and from the heart, something sadly lacking in recent City managers until recently. Coincidentally, I also saw him make his home debut for Everton against City at Goodison Park in about '77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich-TWSC- Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I would have thought with Thorpe may want to stay in the London area. Saying that he maywell choose Swindon that not being far up the m4. Think wages would be a problem for him though.Is Henderson still available?←It's all little worrying being a Swindon fan... and if someone says there not I think they're lying a bit inside... We've been in bigger messes but I can't remember last last time we've lost so many key players in a short space of time. I hope Ricky Shakes is good! I have faith in the manager though.The only way Henderson will leave Gillingham is if he released... No one is willing to pay his agent so much! Including City.

Wonder what song you will make up for him? Cant believe you haven't made any signings yet. Training must be starting soon and you only have half a team left. Lots of season loan signings then Rich???

Guest Ben Wah Balls Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Agree, 80 goals in 3 seasons (is that all comps?) can't be argued with. I was just wondering if he's up to scoring the quality goals he'll need to get against better defences to come somewhere near to maintaining that strike rate. I haven't seen evidence of that yet, but if Joe Royle thinks he can then i may well be proved wrong. Frankly, i'm more concerned what an in-form Roberts could do against City than what Parkin might have done.←He got 4 goals in 5 games last time he played at championship level, I don't think he'll have a problem.

robins72 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm sure Parkin will be ok in the Championship as long as he has a good striker alongside him. Didnt really work out for you lot last season with Roberts injury n all did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King is talking to a lot of players and this time two seasons ago we'd only agreed one or two of an eventual 8 signings so I'm not panicking yet.

stfc_dave Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 This thread makes me feel sad Question: who was the last player you sold because a move up had become inevitable? Did it hurt as much as Parkin's loss will for us? Imagine if you sold Lita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a wealth of strikers in Brooker Stewart Gillespie to adequately cover. It also looks like we will possibly be getting another target man as well. We have never been short of scoring goals however I feel that we need to tighten up at the back after last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Stewart do you think those players would all score the same quantity and types of goals that Lita does?We have a player who we have lacked for a long time. He creates his own chances and also scores from crosses. Do you really think we can replace him easily? We have been short of goals for a long time. Last season was the first for many where we have had two scorers into the 20's. Lets not forget the season before when scoring seemed to be the hardest thing in the world!

But the club know that if he starts the season well he will be watched and someone will come in for him in January. Brooker is a great player too. He is only young and has been our best target man for years. Weve never been a club not to score goals that is our trade(albeit the season when Wilson decided we were going to do an Arsenal of old and win games 1 nil ).Lets hope we can keep hold of our assets for as long as possible eh?

I really believe that Lita is vital to us getting promoted. Brooker is a good player and links the play well but doesn't score the type of goals Lita does. To a certain extent Stewart scores a diverse type of goals but the pure pace of Lita is going to be so important for us.He will not be easily replaced by Gillespie.

Evocare Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Season ticket sales are up, makes you wonder if any disillusioned Swindon or Gas fans have seen the light, turned their backs and joined us!They have to come from somewhere don't they? and when you think about it the type of person to buy a ST is a local to the region football fan. I would not blame a loyal Swindon fan who happened to love Parkin, Heywood & Smith to buy a ST at City, in fact i would encourage it as its clear Swindon have no ambition of promotion now, the squad has been completly torn apart, god knows what the moral of players and fans is there, they must know they'll probably fighting to stay in the division this season.

Cuckfield Green Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Does he actually score any good goals though? All the one's i see on HTV seem to be deflections, headers when he's unmarked, or non-descript tap-ins.
