Any ideas who it is and when we will hear about it??? :?

Post by: Batch on Wednesday, July 19, 2006, 09:28:54

No idea. I guess it might not be an OAP player though?

In my head the 'big name' benchmark is Paul Ince. So anything higher than an Incey I'll be extatic (zola ;)) anything less than an Incey I'll be dissapointed.

So will it be higher or lower than an Incey?

Off the subject Ince has been interviewed for the Wolves job hasn't he?

I'd love Zola to come here......would be amazing. Definitely get a great attendance for first home game if that was the case.

Interesting point Birdie, I have been tipped off that the scientists at North Star College are agonisingly close to cloning or reincarnating Harold Fleming, he should be unveiled at a press conference at 1400hrs on Friday.

Question is, do we really need another striker?

Post by: janaage on Wednesday, July 19, 2006, 12:28:18

With the large Italian community we have in Swindon (even larger now their World Champs) if we did get Gianfranco the gates should go up no end!!

On a side issue, imagine the likes of Lifetime Red coming on here or Thisis on a Monday morning slating Zola's performance!!

Title: The "Big Name"
Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, July 19, 2006, 12:33:48

Perhaps if enough of us keep saying it will be Zola, our collective will, will make it happen :shock:

It worked with Ricky Lambert!

Oh....wait a minute....

i cant see us being able to afford zolas wages, but i guess he could come and just enjoy the ride and not be bothered by the crap wages, or hes doing it as a favour for wise?

zola would be a major signing, but even given what ive said here i cant see it happening.

Quote from: "STFCere"

My argument is that he does not need the money, he would be helping out a mate and it would be a totally new challenge. Watching the Masters the other night, it looked to me like he had a point to prove. The point being, "If you sign me Dennis, I will not let you down".

I maybe wrong but I've got a bee in my bonnet about this one!

It all makes sense now, he was angling for the wolves job which he dint get which would explain the timescales mentioned

Title: The "Big Name"
Post by: Batch on Friday, July 21, 2006, 11:50:29

Still don't see the point of Ince when we have Wise.

I guess Wise (and Ince) would have a limited number of games in them. So I guess one would cover the other.

Sounds reasonable, especially as Wise seems to want to spend a fair few games on the sidelines anyway.

Ince would be possible on the basis he'll probably have a release clause for a Manegerial/sebior coaching role. Not sure what to think about him as I haven't seen him in a while. Was a top notch player but can the ego be controlled.
