All New Football Rumours

[OldGit]

Balance needs to be restored after selling Stearman.

You mean we have actually achieved a shortage of right backs? :icon_eek:

Well, we are now below our quota of hideously ugly right backs.

Here are...looks a bit less scary there.

Hartlepool say rumours are untrue

No, they say "there have been no officilal bids" and that they will not comment further.

 

[Steven]

Last season's Player of the Year and joint Players' Player of the Year, Michael has been a dominant force in the heart of Pools' defence since joining the Club in the summer of 2003 and has become one of the most respected players in League One.

He made a move to Bury from Bishop Auckland in 2001 having enjoyed a successful trial period and went on to become a fans' favourite at Gigg Lane.

On the opening day of the 2003/2004 campaign, Nelson strode forward to blast home a 30-yard blockbuster to give Pools a 4-3 win at Peterborough - he's never looked back since.

He is aggressive in the tackle and superb in the air, he was one of Pools' most consistent performers throughout last season, winning numerous man-of-the-match awards for his commanding displays at the heart of defence

As with Gradel, if he stays, here is a known performer in this League.

Careful Steven - Clemence, Oakley, Howard etc were known performers in the division above....

I know absolutely nothing about this guy from Hartlepool but he is exactly the sort of player that we should be looking at. He is a proven performer at this level and will no doubt have the hunger to want to improve and step up a level. More proven league one players is what we need. Add to them the odd Clemence or Oakley and we will do fine. Have a team crammed full of the Howard's and DJ's of this world and I predict another lousy season on the horizon.

Agree completely.

From the sounds of him, I'd rather have him than Darren Moore certainly. Want hungry players who are good at this level, and want the opportunity to move up to a bigger club.

If Darren Moore came he'd surely see it as a great contract, for what he'd probably expect to be an easy run in L1

BBC: Everton are set to launch a £2m raid on relegated Leicester for teenage left-back Joe Mattock. (Various)

Always more worrying when listed as "Various" as well.

I'd hope for more than £2m, even if it is unrealistic.... we don't NEED to sell him.

 

[teblin]

Prob be 2 million + add ons.

 

[Spanky Fox]

the problem is if they want to leave Milan won't stand in his way, this league could be ideal for Mattock to really grow as a player, a first team player at league one club Leicester or a Reserve player at Everton?

 

[alex]

Agreed Spanky, hopefully we won't sell him, or we get to keep him for a season-long loan?

 

[homer]

Nay chance alex - he's as good as gone IMO

Alex, if we had kept Stearman and hopefully keep mattock they this league could have really made them good, because of the fact its all rough and tough they would have grown there overall game, Stearman pussied out and i hope Mattock stays

He is only 17 so this is his chance to really play a full season and get tougher in the league, I can see Mattock as a future England Left-back, let hope he stays we go up in one attempt and then can afford to keep him here

Vincent Pericard will be Nigel Pearson's first signing for Leicester.

 

[Matt_B]

not got the best scoring record has he

 

[Hazzman]

not got the best scoring record has he

Or driving record. One of MM's dirty deals if we sign him IMO.
