Wtf? Chris Powell???

[londonfox]

I wouldn't be disappointed by this signing IF it happens.

Powell has a bunch of experience which he can use not only during games but also behind the scenes with the likes of Mattock and Gilbert and co. He played 19 games for Charlton last season in the Championship so clearly he cannot be that unfit. We have no reason to question NP's judgement on players so far so I think he deserves to be trusted on this one should it happen. Bournemouth are a club in crisis. None of us know why Powell wasn't offered a contract with them. It was not necessarily because he wasn't deemed good enough.

As someone pointed out earlier, Paolo Maldini is two years Powell's senior and I doubt any one of us would be complaining if we signed him on a short-term deal. As a means to an end untl the end of the season I think Powell would solve our left back quandry perfectly.

Just seen this on SSN, City have signed Chris Powell, 39 years old FFS!

Has any body else seen this?

You need some serious glasses. :icon_wink I have just left the Pub and SSN are saying he is on trial. :icon_wink

You need some serious glasses.

They showed a picture of Chris Powell and BG thought it was Paul Dickov.

Absolutely spot on..

Maldini and Powell being compared......

 

[RHYDAL]

Gazza's on his way next.

 

[H T B]

Why don't we see if we can get Bobby Charlton while we are at it.

Now you're just being silly, Bobby's not a left back

Is it worth suggesting that bournemouth may not know what they are doing when signing players and have possibly passed on a player that could have been of use to them?

Why is it that because Bournemouth passed on him he's definitely shi*. When did Bournemouth become the definitive word in talent assessment?

 

[SJN-Fox]

And how do we know that it was Bournemouth that passed on his services and not the other way round?

 

[homer]

Good points there

And here's something else to clutch onto.......

 

[Miles Away]

I just think he could maybe do a solid job. At least as a short term replacement for Mattock until he gets fit.

All you haters chill out.....OLD AS F**K fair enough....but a few old heads cant hurt.....He isnt going to be first choice left back.....its cover.

I think it would be an ok signing

Yeah, just like Martin Keown. Hes did wonders at our club :icon_roll

 

[Boy Genius]

Yeah, just like Martin Keown. Hes did wonders at our club :icon_roll

and he was younger than 39

 

[Melton Fox]

Yeah, just like Martin Keown. Hes did wonders at our club :icon_roll

And Les Ferdinand, he was a bag of shite weren't he :icon_roll

We can all give examples of good and bad players in an attempt to prove our points. But until Chris Powell actually confesses to being Martin Keown or Les Ferdinand, it's a load of bollocks really.
