Paynter Leaving

[nevillew]

I think the biggest shock in this story is that the Adver have allowed the use of the forbidden "s"-word:

I'm sure they'll have corrected it to an "admitted" or "insisted" by the time they get to print

Couldn't we get a 'bemoaned' in there ?

Have to agree with Jonny here. I just somehow feel that vince has something to offer, that he hasn't quite been able to tap into yet...

And Danny & Co certainly do (or at least did!) given how quick they were to sign him. Either way though, I'm honestly nowhere near as worried about our strike force as I was this time last year.  

[Power to people]

Don't think BP is a consistent championship player, surprised that he's on his way though I thought he may have learned earlier in his career at the likes of Vale that the grass is not always greener on the other side, and with him finishing top scorer good raport with the fan's he may have wanted to stay.

I am not as worried about him going than I was Cox though, I think he can be replaced reasonably quickly.

So I owe you more if he scores 19 than 1?   Let's do it a bit differently. Count down to 20 - I start owing you £20, but it drops a quid every time he scores, down to quits at 20. But since the bet's so much in your favour, you owe me £5 for every goal he scores beyond 20.

OK?

soapy tit wank. so a 30 goal season from pericard will net you £50.

shall we just say, to make it even. if he scores 20 or more i owe you £20. if he doesn't you owe me £20

I think Pericard is the gamble....remember when we got BP he'd scored something like 7 goals in 30 odd games from the previous couple of seasons, in other words a gamble.

Just checked Wikipedia and it shows that since leaving Port Vale and prior to joining us, he scored 7 in 46. At Port Vale he scored 30 in 144. With us he scored 41 in 121, which is clearly his best. Doesn't tell us a massive amount though, because we don't know how many of those apps were as sub.

On a Pericard note, i also believe he has something to offer. Obviously he's French which means he won't have the work rate of Paynter, or even a dole-merchant, but he does seem to have something that i like. He certainly has more strength and better feet than Billy.

i must be watching a different player

[juddie]

me too! better feet than paynter?

Probably Amankwaah.

Not a surprise, there's been rumours going around for months that he was off to Leeds - no smoke without fire and all that. Maybe if we had gone up he would of stayed, but can't really blame him for wanting to try his luck in the Championship again.

For what it's worth i'm not convinced he will score goals there, and the Leeds fans will be on his back straight away if he doesn't. Back on loan by Christmas I reckon!

Probably Amankwaah.

I did laugh at the occasion slight booing of LJF on Saturday.

Probably Amankwaah.

There's a BIG difference between Vince and Kevin... Kevin has scored 2 league goals this year!

Fucking class, as was him falling over straight after it.

Records before coming to Swindon....

Paynter = 164 starts, 43 as sub, 42 goals
Pericard = 86 starts, 55 as sub, 21 goals

[Spy]

Yes but by the time Paynter had had as much game time as Pericard has had at Swindon he had definitely scored goals.

How many games was it before Paynter scored for us? I know Pericard has been mostly a sub but still...
