Maybe Kisnorbo is planning a Walsh style conversion to striker.

Sorry, my mistake. I am getting confused with the whole left wing right wing political debate it's now merged into football and I can't distinguish between the 2

Well put a L on one foot and a R on the other then youll know....

I'll wait for the transfer window to close before I cry about too many centre backs.

I think it's goodbye Dicky Stearman and Gerrbrand.

 

[Lako42]

as loan striker would be ideal, i still think ogrady may well be good enough for this div if called upon. and this season may see dodds or chambers given the odd go

 

[Durham Fox]

MdV is the top earner at the club, his wages shifted off the bill could account for all of these arrivals.

I seriously cant see how we arent losing at least 2 defenders. My money is on Gerrbrand and Stearman.

RK said he sees Maybury as a Right wanker.

really...:icon_bigg

 

[highland fox]

Some people won't be happy until EVERY last player CL brought in as left the Club...

 

[Ox Fox]

Chris Tarrant

or perhaps

Is that Webbo/Jeff with his two dinners ?

At first I couldn't work out this signing at all, we have a lot of defenders already, but somebody commented that RK has said he sees Maybury more as a right winger than a defender, so I think that explains why Kenton has signed.

If Maybury is going to be used primarily on the right wing (or at least as backup on the right wing to J. Low), then presumably Kenton is being brought in as backup to Stearman at right back?
He can then also fill in at left back if Johansson is out and if RK doesn't think Sheehan is ready. We only have 4 players who can play at full back, 2 for each side, and if we're planning on using one of those (Maybury) in midfield, Sheehan has only played a few games, and as with Stearman as well, RK won't expect them to be ready to play 46 games in a season yet.


I think it's a good signing, and as long as it doesn't signal that Dicky Stearman is leaving us, then I'm happy with it. If the arrivals of more defenders means Maybury/Gerrbrand are leaving then I'd be quite happy. Even though I think they are decent enough players, they aren't first choice but could both probably command fees, and if that means we can get a left winger or 2, then I'd be very happy with the business

As "I have been able to bring in" is in the present perfect progressive it conveys to me that something started in the past, and it is still happening.

Present perfect progressive?!? Wassat?

I can't be bothered to analyse this any further, whatever will be, will be.

As for Dicky Stearman, I think we are becoming a bit over emotional. I wouldn't like to see him leave this club. But not for footballing reasons, because he is a local lad.

I have came away from most games saying "Stearman had a good game today", but in reality, I was probably looking for him to be having a good game and only seeing the positives. I mean, in reality, he is pretty shite really. But he has got potential

Is Dicky Stearman irreplaceable?, is the question we should ask.

I think not, he is nothing better than average at the minute. And for those of us that keep believing that Man Utd and Arsenal are watching him, where is the offer? They would want him now while his value is low and he is inexperienced so they can "nurture him".

As for those that think they may have already approached the club and in our infinite wisdom are holding on for another season so we can get more money, forget it. If the big boys want a player, they will get him, the agents will see to that.

I believe Stearman is staying, why would he move to another mediocre club, and why would RK want rid of a local youngster who has came through the academy he is so proud to be part of.

I'm not arguing with you, I was just trying to work out the way Boc's pedantic brain was working.

I'm not really arguing either - just looking for hidden signals.

Bravo to that!!

To get some money ?

To get some money ?

But if you read the rest of the post, nobody will be prepared to pay. The big boys aren't knocking and the rest are mediocre and are just plodding along with their own right backs

So why sign yet another mediocre right/centre back then ?
