Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 09:40:36 FORMER Premiership winger Anthony McNamee is being lined up for a move to the County Ground - with Town insisting Maurice Malpas' bow will not be beaten by the weather.
According to thisis http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.1974920.0.town_line_up_a_move_for_mcnamee.php Thoughts? From another website: The brilliance of McNamee is that there is an end product to his tricks. Plenty of players have got so far on pace and trickery alone, but few can whip in a cross like Little Ant. It's no wonder there is a sense of anticipation when he gets the ball, and even more so when he works his way into a crossing position. The problem is the same as it's always been: He doesn't get the ball very often. That, and the fact that he cannot defend to save his life.

Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, January 18, 2008, 09:53:42 Quote from: "Si Pie" Zaaboub mach 2 Zaaboob is quick, but not that fast Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, January 18, 2008, 10:01:37 I meant that both try tricks, don't defend and crossing seems to be hit and miss.
But we do need another left winger so I'm all for the extra body if they can find a bit of form. Will be better than Aaron Brown anyway. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 10:03:19 Apparently he suffers with Asthma and it was a concern at previous clubs of him not being able to play 90 mins. (I stole that from somewhere on a search engine)
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, January 18, 2008, 10:05:11 Doesn't it say that he can cross; that he has an end product?
It seems to say he can do everything required of him, apart from defend, but he doesn't get given the ball often enough? Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, January 18, 2008, 10:08:16 Apparently JPM can cross a ball.
I've seen him do it 3 times in his whole town career. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: fatbury on Friday, January 18, 2008, 10:19:31 I think he might be another Jarrett --- but time will tell

Very pacey and was a regular at Watford a couple of years ago. Should be interesting if he signs. But I do think we are quite well stocked with wide players Roberts Zaboub McGovern and Mohammed.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:02:12 Mohammed??????
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: adje on Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:07:19 Sounds a bit more "Walter the softy" than "Dennis the menace" but I'll give him a chance
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:08:05 He is currently being used out wide but not sure if thats going to be a permanent arrangement.

Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:57:37 Like I said, ripped it off the web, I wouldnt know how much it affected his performance.............just an observation.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: adje on Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:59:15 He's signed then
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:59:41 Good or bad, he'd better get a move on if he wants to play tomorrow, isn't mid-day the deadline?
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:03:15 Undisclosed fee.
Least we are able to pay for players now! Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Batch on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:05:12 We still need a man to put it in the onion bag though. I know, I know, we are in for Cox. Hope we know one way or the other sooner rather than later.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: axs on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:06:48 where does it say he's signed? anyone got a link?
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:07:38 Thisis and OS!
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Sussex on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:08:10 Quote from: "axs" where does it say he's signed? anyone got a link? Thisis/OS it's a minefield out there! :D Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: bigbobjoylove on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:09:31 See we've signed that Ashakodi from Watford on loan too.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: axs on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:12:08 I was so used to not getting information from the OS first that I didn't even check there!
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: swindon_chick on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:12:17 Oooo it's nice to see we can pay for players!
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Tails on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:26:19 Spoke to at Watford fan at work who informs me that both are utter tripe. Crewe fan said the same about McNamee.
I'll give them a chance though. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:28:36 We lack a bit of pace in the midfield department so I'm hopeful he'll offer something different.
I still think he'll be hit and miss, but then a lot of our players are like that. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: DMR on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:33:29 A bit of competition I suppose, seeing as both our wingers (Sofi and JPM) are dross.
Go for Roberts and McNamee and see what happens I guess. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: pauld on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:43:15 Quote from: "Tails" Spoke to at Watford fan at work who informs me that both are utter tripe. Although to be fair he's probably judging them at Prem/top-end Championship standards. Just because they're not good enough for that level, doesn't mean they can't do a job at this level. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: fatbury on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:46:46 plus the fact they may be stale where they are as Watford have been top end Championship lower end Premiership for a while now and Boothroyd tended to not change his team massively ...so chances were few and far between for them both

You ill or something? :D Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Bushey Boy on Friday, January 18, 2008, 12:53:58 Oh my fucking word, thsi player is brilliant!

Wonder how long a contract we've offered him? ** I mean that cheap for a club like us** Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: STFC_Chris on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:13:15 2 and a half years! :shock: Undisclosed fee though, no surprises there.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: wheretherealredsare on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:17:41 I read elsewhere Watford were letting him go for a nominal fee. Can't see why this had to be undisclosed in that case, unless it was so tiny that it would have upset our Ant.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:19:03 Can we think of a "Chant for Ant" hehe.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: wheretherealredsare on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:24:15 Cross Ant, cross Ant, cross Ant etc to the Pink Panther tune.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: sonic youth on Friday, January 18, 2008, 13:33:22 what a shit signing. another undisclosed fee as well surprise surprise.
this shows a serious lack of ambition.

Lets just hope hes fit enough to play! Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Bogus Dave on Friday, January 18, 2008, 14:46:49 Mcnamee (ooh ah)
Mcnamee (ooh ah) he's 5 ft tall he crosses the ball its anthony mcnamee Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Spud on Friday, January 18, 2008, 16:06:12 Quote from: "fatbury" I think he might be another Jarrett --- but time will tell Always nice to see a player given a chance even before he's played his first game. :roll: Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, January 18, 2008, 16:58:47 I think McGovern has improved in recent weeks as well.
Solid player at least. His workrate is also a lot better than he gets credit for. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Tails on Friday, January 18, 2008, 17:10:10 Not to mention the fact that our most dangerous area when we attack is the right hand side, with him and Comminges..
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, January 18, 2008, 18:07:04 What i like about this signing is the fact we (hopefully) won't be seeing much of Zaaboub anymore :D
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: DiV on Friday, January 18, 2008, 18:10:01 Quote from: "DMR" Go for Roberts and McNamee and see what happens I guess. not alot would be my guess. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Friday, January 18, 2008, 20:10:38 A Watford fan on another forum says 'he has all the skill in the world and a great delivery but lacks height is only about 5ft 3or4 and if he was much taller would be a class prem player! ' and they reckon that Ashikodi is a nutcase.

Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: DiV on Friday, January 18, 2008, 20:38:21 he was also talented though.....that helps.

Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Luci on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 10:52:11 Ah well not sure JP need worry too much as McNamee is a left winger. Sounds like Zaboub will be given a run for his money now.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: red macca on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 11:21:35 this player has been quality whenever i have seen him.

Sounds like Zaboub will be given a run for his money now. Just what Zaaboub needs really. He needs to know he can't walk into the side every week by playing average. Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 21:51:53 ...and lo and behold, sofi worked his bollocks off and had a good game.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Batch on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 21:54:24 Indeed he did. If he put that effort in every game nobody would be moaning about him.
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Boeta on Saturday, January 19, 2008, 23:56:11 sofi had an excellent workrate, but never looked like carving out the opportunities like jp did time and time again. will be interesting to see what mcnamee offers in comparison but certainly looks like two quality left wingers in the squad
Title: Anthony McNamee Post by: Frigby Daser on Sunday, January 20, 2008, 00:55:56 Sophie-Ann was good today - lhe's the sort of player that needs someone class behid him to play well. Could be quite a battle for the left wing slot now
