Collins John

Despite having a backwards name, do you think he'll be a good player for us?

yeah,,,,, the guttering, pave the driveway, clean the bogs........

I think he needs to change his name to Max Booster.

 

[OldGit]

He has his own song


He's big
He's sound
His name's the wrong way round
Collins John, Collins John

I have actually seen him on the same pitch as John Collins.

 

[OldGit]

He would be very good IMO, although his work ethic might be a problem

Work ethic: Term coined by Max Weber for the belief by many protestant sects that salvation comes through hard work. Why would that be a problem for a footballer?

 

[Billyjof]

Do you think he is just a MDV replacement, another excuse to hoof it up the pitch?

Weve already got a lazy striker in DJ

Stick with Fryatt and Hume IMO

Lazy he is not, he will run and run. But needs accurate service - through balls running just ahead of him.

His problems started when he was used as a lone striker with the "He's a big lad, hoof it at his head from 60 yards" philosophy. I'd say his ability in that department is a couple of percentage points ahead of MDV.

The Fulham crowd started to get on his back & his confidence went leading to several Elvis-like misses / falling over the ball etc.

His best performances & most of his goals have come when on as a second half sub, running at tired defences.

A worker who can run at defences would be welcome. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this? I did read it on the gossip column on BBC sport.

And Harry Kewel.

 

[Orifice]

He won't be our first player with his name the wrong way round.
Remember Stewart Jordan?

nice to see meg dog looking at quality,instead of youtube :icon_roll

At the end of the loan period (if there is one), perhaps we could fool Fulham by keeping Collins John and sending back Elvis Hammond.

He is due to be burnt before Christmas. Check the rota.

 

[drummindefender]

You're right, sorry. I'll get back to collecting the wood.

 

[TommyK]

Internet rumors i think.

But feck it - get him in!
