Nibor Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 He won't come here, he wants a club near his home. He wouldn't cut it anyway for the same reason Stewart isn't scoring many - service.His workrate or lack thereof almost certainly won't fit what GJ wants.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he will come here anyway.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REDCIDERARMY Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 He has not started a game for Swndon thats why he has left the club,his ability of scoring goals is proven when he played for us one every other game how we could do with that on Saturday,we probably going to be with two strikers over the Christmas period rdiculous I reckon Bridges for sure is going can not afford him anymore and similar with Stewart,I do not agree with you the crowd did love him with chants of tony thorpe from all a round the ground they would cheer him again if starts scoring and he would given the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a player who tended to score unimportant goals when we were already in front by 2 or 3.His lack of workrate and attitude were also proven in the eyes of many. Since then he hasn't done very well at all, why do you think he's switched clubs so many times? What makes you think that after falling out with the club of his wet dreams in Luton, failing at QPR and Swindon his form would suddenly be back to where it was 4 years ago if he came here?Are you ignoring the point that he wouldn't come here anyway?And if you think the crowd would like him back then please elaborate on what sort of reception he has received since leaving and making those comments.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest REDCIDERARMY Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Name me this young goalscoring ace we are going to sign then,there is not one and if you would rather have Bas Savage up front than T/T you are crazy,just give us a extra chance of staying up,if T/T can find his old form,as for the crowd we are going back two seasons a go when he played for QPR and he got a bit of stick from the Eastend that was all,the majority of fans would have it as a wise move,as Bridges and may be Stewart are on there way,what do we have left,it gives us extra hope with a proven goalscorer as in Tony Thorpe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I would rather have neither, Thorpe these days is rubbish and wouldn't make a blind bit of difference. The fans would be skeptical and then get on his back in two or three games when he shows his usual lack of effort and doesn't score.Our front four should be Brooker, Stewart, Gilly + signing. Johnson has a quick striker in mind already.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
