Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: land_of_bo on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:01:58 Will look foward to hopeful shots from the halway line saturday then...

Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Asher on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:03:29 lock up your wives!!!
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Sippo on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:03:52 I'm not too sure about this. In a way its good because it'll add a bit of bite back into the midfield, but it means that Whalley or Pook will need to be dropped and I don't think Gurney is any better than them...
I wonders who's wife hes got his eye on!! :wink: Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Spud on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:04:06 Quote from: "Monkey Nuts" lock up your wives!!!

SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:05:26 Gurney would be a decent player if he wasn't a mouthy brainless idiot.
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: STFC_Chris on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:05:46 I dont know whether to laugh or cry. However, I've only seen him play once or twice, so I will reserve judgement for a while. An extra body in our small squad, so it cant be that bad.
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: blinkpip on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:06:09 He could play on the right wing too. Or take Ifil place in defence.

Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:10:26 Not the ideal signing but unfortunately we can't afford the ideal signing, Swansea are paying a lot of his wages so worth doing.
I wasn't too bothered when he left but he's ok, I remember when Wigan were interested for £150k a lot of people didn't think we should sell. We do need a leader. In other news Derby have apparently said we could take Holmes on loan if we pay all his wages but we can't afford that. Would be a good idea for the red army fund to do an appeal. I'd give some money. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Leggett on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:11:20 tough tackling meathead, kinda what we need. and he can score too.
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: walrus on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:22:37 I'm very surprised at this one, but exactly the sort of player we need. I was always a big fan and very disappointed when he left. I imagine he's been signed with a view to playing him as a midfielder rather than a right-back, where he is supposedly more at home.
I will never forget the excellent strike at home to Wrexham a couple of seasons back. We're going places! 8) Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: DiV on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:32:48 Uummm......undecided.....
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: yeo on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:36:17 Really dont know what to make of this.

Gone from the smallest to the biggest! Must be at least 25 now ? Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: DiV on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:43:34 so where has the money come to pay for this.....and why arent we paying for Summerbee instead?
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: DiV on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:44:13 Do you think King is going to bring an ex-player back every week for just one game 8)
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 16:44:50 Becuase we have Heath now and Summerbee's wage demands probally didn't warrant his ability.

a) he wont give us 'bite' in midfield, he will give us plain thuggery and bookings! b)he cant even play in fucking midfield!!!!

Mind you, I've had no official text from the club, nothing on the website... anyone got a source? Radio Swindon copy: Swindon Town are expecting to complete the loan signing of former defender Andy Gurney until the end of December. The 31 year old played 145 times for the club before joining Swansea almost a year ago. Since then he's fallen out of favour at the Welsh side, who'll pay part of his wages while he's at the County Ground. Manager Andy King has brought him in as defensive cover after losing assistant manager Alan Reeves with a broken leg. Gurney certainly didn't expect a return to Swindon so soon after leaving. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 17:25:57 I'll add my twopenneth ...
Gurney .. someone said 'free kick specialist'. No he's not. He scored one wonderful goal at Elland Road, and then spent the rest of the season thinking he was David Beckham and took -- and WASTED -- the majority of the freekicks. He's got a big gob - too big - and ALWAYS gets booked. It's almost as if, some games, he'll get to 89 minutes and realise he's not got a yellow and go and kick someone to relieve himself. I'm not happy about this. I'd much rather have had buzzer than this dick ... or someone who's a central defender who will provide more competition and cover. This is wrong, wrong, wrong. (he'll probably score on Saturday now) Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 17:26:39 The point here is that we are getting a player that can do a job, and as with ManUre and their two another club is paying a chunk of their wage.....we could have had Holmes but can't afford him as Derby wont pay.
Gurney is not a midfielder, but he is a battler....and in my opinion we're likely to be in a relegation battle this season. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 17:27:33 Thanks Chris, I was hoping it wasn't true.
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 17:29:57 Quote from: "sonicyouth" Thanks Chris, I was hoping it wasn't true. Me too. Sorry, Reg - I just can't agree. I was glad to see the back of David Gurney (sic) ... this is a step in the wrong direction. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 17:32:34 If hes been signed as a midfielder then this is just sick.
Rated him as a right back, but he lost the plot in the last 6 months he was here and seemed to have no focus for the game at all. How much better did we look with Summerbee rather than Heath? That manc cunt is on one big training session with us. Not good. Title: Andy Gurney Signs!

As my grandad is the only person in my family that has any interest in football (supports Notts County), and all my friends support premiership teams I would have only got to a couple of games a season during Gurney's time here. 'One or two' may have been a slight underestimate, but cant be far out. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: DMR on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 18:04:41 what a waste of time
Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: McLovin on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 18:06:14 Dear oh dear. If he has been signed as a midfielder, we might as well kiss goodbye to any sort of football we were starting to try and play. 3 seasons of misplaced 60 yard balls was enogh for me, not to mention the bookings and long range 'attempts'.
The only way i will even slightly be happier with this signing is if he plays right back and Collins takes Ifil's place. Which won't happen. What the hell is going on? Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 18:07:39 Drop Collins. Hes shit. Play Gurney right back.

Post by: fatbury on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 18:09:28 I think hes a good all rounder ... and experienced and I think he will do well for us .. we are a bit rudderless at present and he will put a tackle in .. as to where to play him ?? Right back or centre back .. maybe he will free up Jenkins or O Hanlon to play midfield or play there himself .. I think he will do well ... welcome back Gurns .. i never liked Hewlett anyway

Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 18:29:06 They weren't meant to be a strict comparison, and circumstances have changed.
It's like saying that Ricky Shakes is the greatest thing since sliced bread. He isn't made of wheat but there is still a comparison... Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Thursday, August 25, 2005, 18:35:40 We didn't have any money then either. We signed Drysdale after Robinson and he was even more of a waste of money and since then Gary Alexander when we could of had Zamora. Not wasted much since then.

Play Gurney right back. Not a bad shout as long as Gureny fancies it more than he did in his last few months for us. I dont rate Collins as a right back, I'd be interested in seeing him play centre back though. At times Gurney looked a good player, at other times absolute bolloks. Which will he be? who knows. I'm actually fairly pleased that we've signed someone thuggish though. Theres far too many mincers in our side and has been for a while Title: Andy Gurney Signs!

Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Crozzer on Friday, August 26, 2005, 02:12:54 Lay off Gurney, he gets into the box.
Question for Reg Smeaton, if David Peach was rated 3.5/10 at full back, what would Gurney's rating be. We are going to have the Gurney in midfield discussion, he won't be playing full back, he's going to be in midfield as the much awaited ball winner. If he provides steel that means more freedom for Shakes and Nicolau. Possibly, though, he might be playing along side Shauno, especially with Reeves out temporarily, and with King pissed at Ifil. What would Ifil be like in midfield? Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Mister Lorenzo on Friday, August 26, 2005, 09:23:52 I can't be bothered to read through all the previous posts on this so apologies if I'm repeating what anyone else has already written....
I've been watching town since the Ardilles days and was a season ticket holder up until the end of the ill fated McMahon era. Due to various circumstances (kids) I have only been to a handful of games each season since but one player sticks out as being one of, if not 'THE' worst player that I have ever had the misfortune to pay good money to watch and obviously no prizes for guessing who. When Swansea took him off our hands I thought it was a great piece of business by King and I thought he would be replaced by someone who at least could kick a ball - now he's back - tell me it's a bad dream please !!!! I was there for the Wycombe game and I really believed things couldn't get any worse but even that debacle has been overshadowed by this news. At least when I heard that Summerbee was back it filled me with some hope that maybe things were moving in the right direction and I was even contemplating getting a season ticket again along with a number of my mates who hadn't watched town regularly in years either. Well after that false dawn coupled with the Wycombe game and the Gurney news it might be a long time before I and a number of others step foot in the County Ground again. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: red macca on Friday, August 26, 2005, 09:39:27 the bloke scored 12 goals from right back thats not a bad record give him a chance,,,some people just want a replacement for duke so they have someone to abuse

Obviously it is hard fr me to make a reasonable judgement, but I think Gurney will only be useful if he is played in the right position and has aggression without being hot-headed. As long as he can sort those things out he might be valuable. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Tails on Friday, August 26, 2005, 12:16:33 Great signing.

Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, August 26, 2005, 14:50:24 On reflection, my apoplectic rage has dissipated a little and I'm looking at his signing with an open mind. Provided he doesn't get put straight into central midfield, I can't see it being that much of a disastrous signing, there was quite a long period where he was a decent player who offered us a lot going forward whilst being solid in defence, he was also a pretty good captain when he wasn't shagging other people's wives and mouthing off at referee's.
I don't think it's quite what we need right now but if we're not paying much of his wages then we've not got anything to lose. Title: Andy Gurney Signs!

Agreed. Most Swansea fans seem to think he did pretty well for them until he was dropped for shagging Kenny Jackett's wife. Title: Andy Gurney Signs!

Quote from 4-4-2 Mag's Season Preview;(Swansea) Q;Playeryou'd like to get rid of A;Andy Gurney gets a fair bit of stick from the fans. Title: Andy Gurney Signs! Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Friday, August 26, 2005, 19:06:26 Quote from Swansea message board
Quote Gurney signed for Swindon GWR radio reported tonight that Andy Gurney has rejoined Swindon Town today, and even trained with his old teamates this morning. Shame really, as I thought he was a good player, and Swans were a more competitive, organised side with him playing last year. Quote I wish him well anyway - I don`t think he ever really settled down here, but he`s a good player! Quote Swansea defender Andy Gurney has left the club and re-joined Swindon Town on loan until Christmas, virtually a year after leaving them for South Wales. The hard-tackling full-back was transfer listed by Kenny Jackett after falling out-of-favour with the Swans boss and despite his best attempts to fight his way back into the side, the 31-year old has been off-loaded to the Robins until the new year. The terms of Gurney's loan deal state that Swansea have agreed to pay half of his wages over the four month period, showing just how much Kenny Jackett wanted him out of the squad. Gurney will look back on his career in South Wales so far with mixed feelings. The defender became a huge hit with local supporters in the first few months after signing and gave many passionate performances as he helped solidify the Swans' defence. However, Gurney's form soon dropped and the full-back unfairly became the North Bank's scape-goat when things weren't going well. It would appear that despite the defender only initially leaving on loan, Andy Gurney has most probably played his last game for Swansea City. Many supporters will be disappointed to see Gurney depart as he is clearly capable of doing a job in League One. However, paying half the salary of a player that could help strengthen the current side, appears very questionable and may well be viewed as quite a costly error by the Swans management So opinions are mixed, a lot of their fans liked him but he's always divided opinions.

There I said it. |
