Just joined Walsall on loan, likely to play Saturday.......

Who will score him or Mooney? Or both?

Awwwww, Matty had his thread deleted. Un-lucky son!

ermmm why didnt we get him back then???  :-))(

We will see.  I love the beasts comments on the OS though.
 
I think defending set pieces will be the focus of the day.

yeah he was 11.02 and I was 11.01 ner ner ner  :mrgreen:

ermmmmm because of the fact we are unable to sign players due to our transfer embargo.

It has be claimed that Mooney is doubtful for tomorrow with injury, not sure I believe it though

yes but that should be lifted tomorrow if the deal goes through .. surely we could have arranged something in advance??

We don't need another winger.

I loved Holmes when he was here but for someone destined for great things he's done precisely fuck all since he left us, can't see the point in signing him Fatters.

mainly because hes better than any of the wingers we have and surely the point is to improve the side in order to gain promotion?? or am i missing something here?

Swindon "Lee would you like to come back to town, the takeover "should" be completed on Friday, and the embargo "should" then be lifted and we could then sign you, what do you say?"

Walsall "Lee do you want to sign for us NOW?  You can play this Saturday, no maybes, just sign on the dotted line"

I think you've probably only rememered he existed since Luci started this thread.

He can't get a look in at the worst Premiership side since we were there and he's been farmed out to places like Walsall and Bradford since us, not Championship clubs. I don't think he'd massively improve us at all as he's not kicked on over the last 2 years.

A tad pedantic maybe, and possibly makes no difference anyway but IF/WHEN, it is confirmed that all is complete today then can't the umbungo be lifted today also? After all I am sure that the FA will be just as quick to impose an umbungo!

 :soapy tit wank:

I deleted it myself mate as I didn't want another 'Malpas' situation going on with 10 threads about the same thing!

I even pressed refresh before posting to check that nobody had posted about it!  Ah well, I'm going to crawl back under my rock now.... :cry:

on what basis is he better he has done fuckall for 3 years and i have not seen one team try and sign him from them for some reason

well we will find out tomorrow I guess for sure

Yes we do.....McGovern hasn't set the place alight with his crossing, Robert is inconsistent and we do not have any real cover for either of them.

Holmes may not be good enough for the premier league but I wouldn't mind betting he can do a good job at this level and with regular first team football may well improve over time.

I think we should keep an eye on him at Walsall with a view to signing him come the end of season if he can re-create the form he showed with us a few years ago.

then we need a right winger not a left winger

my god, fatbury is right....Holmes is better than any of our current wingers....McGovern, Zaaboub and Roberts.....

Didn't you hear about the transfer embargo?  :roll:

I agree with DMR and Red Macca

The "why did they sign him, we should have" game is probably one of the most pointless speculative things you can play, especially when it comes to loan signings. There's going to be so many factors involved aside from Holmes being available on loan.

With loan signings it can just down to peoples contacts at other clubs, when we got Milner on loan (extreme example) it wouldn't have made much sense for other clubs in the league to go "oh why didn't we get him" as it was clearly just a favour to kingy.

Even if it's just a case of someone ringing up and asking, maybe we just didnt. You can't expect every club to ask about every player.

Finally, even there was a fax or email or something sent out to every club offering him on loan, remember that there hasn't exactly been a consistency management staff since he was last here.

As I said. It's a bit of a silly thing to moan about.

do people still send faxes nowadays?

For some reason I always imagine that football clubs do. I think it's from playing old school premier managers.

Getting a fax was always ace, even if it was normally just you getting fined for shit floodlights or something. Sometimes you'd get stupid offers for shit players, or good players wanting to sign for you on a free and stuff.

im suprised fax technology isn't more widely celebrated. the fact you can write something and it can be printed thousands of miles away exactly the same is much more better than an e-mail

yes

I do, daily.

Sending faxes daily is a sign or repressing your homosexual feelings. Let's feed in some paper and get some paper back. Sexy stuff.

Did nothing today and Zaaboub had quite a good game...... I don't really understand all the hype over Holmes really.

Surprising how differently people see a game.

I thought that Holmes did well but Zaboob, especially in the 1st half, was truly appalling!

Zaboub wastes so many chances its unreal.  8 or 9 times today he hit a nothing ball, not clearing the first man.  A kuxury player if ever there was one.

I actually though Zaboub was OK today, even if he had poor moments he was generally trying to get into the right positions and go round his man and put crosses in from good positions.  Holmes really hasn't kick on, he looked Ok but little more.

But again his cross set up our first goal.....McGovern is equally as wasteful on his side but at present Zaaboub and McGovern are the best of a bad bunch and what is the alternative.....Kaid Mohammed - Oh dear!

yes, i agree with this.

except the bit that implies derby are better than we were.

Zaaboub did nothing in the first half......his crossing was very hit and miss in the second half.

Although for a change Zaaboubs corners were pretty good!

Holmes reminded me just why i thought he was overrated while he was here. Didn't provide anything all game
