...shit heads!!

Peacock, Roberts, Amankwaah????? Murray??????

Now I'm not one to judge but could we please stop buying these ex-shit heads please.  

(I realise I'm jumping the gun a little but what was wrong with only chasing ex-Watford players, other than Moses).

City have become, and will probably remain for some time, the biggest team in the region. City cast-offs are probably something we're going to have to live with over the next few years.

As long as we get first dibs to rummage through their trash pile for gems, before dirty Rovers, Cheltenham and Yeovil  get their grubby claws gripped onto them. It might not be such a bad thing.

So long as we don't sign Lita

Why not? He would score more than the rest of our strikers on his own in a season.

I couldn't give a shit who we sign, if it means getting into the play offs because we've signed 10 ex City players then so be it.

Maybe I'm being a bit old skool, but the thought of more ex-city players doesn't excite me.  

Despite what the majority feel about certain players I've been sat near an ex-city Swindon player laughing about Swindon being a town full of inbreds etc.  Doesn't make me feel as if he's as into Swindon as he appears to be.

Maybe I'm wrong though eh?

He's got a point.

I agree with you on this.  The Scott Murray baiting that went on makes it hard to imagine someone like him being part of our team.

Perhaps when our youth set up becomes more established we can take credit for some successful home grown talent.

Reg and others, back in the 70, 80's, early 90's how many of our players had Brizzle club routes?  Just out of interest.  I'm just trying to work out if this is another case of me growing into a grumpy old sod, who should chill out a bit more!!

Fair enough Dell!!

they might have used to play for City but once they are ours they are all right now!!

:old:  :soap:  :mrgreen:

Amankwaah

Why did he not see fit to spell his surname Amawankah?  In fact deep down I still hope it's pronounced I'm-a-wanker.

He's a wanker....

I'm a wanker...

Dum diddy dum diddy duh...

Let's not forget Steve White for one!  And the player who scored against City at Ashton Gate in the 80's(I only know that because I just watched the goals).

A plethora of examples for you there Jan.

 :soapy tit wank:   Nice one!

Wasn't Chalky Wovers???  I don't feel that's quite as bad, for some reason.

I use to hate City more than Oxford when I first started watching the Town.
Now I find myself hating Rovers more than any other.

the fucking chief, and he was ace......!!!

who gives a shit what clubs our players used to play for.if they come here and do well then thats all i want to see

I'm quite liking the possibility of a Vic Reeves/Shooting Stars-style shout of "Amankwaah" when he comes on.

"back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's...."

I couldn't really care if we were a team full of offspring from satan and bin laden as long as we got promoted

Swansea fans say this player is absolute rubbish.

And he was big mates with Aaron Brown at City. Which probably means he is also a knob.

Hardly an inspiring signing is it

your hardly an inspiring signing. hah

Ditto

Wahooo Barts back!

Are we supposed to sign inspiring players, or steady players who will do a job in League One?

Can signing a full back ever be that inspiring?

Which players would you consider inspiring Bart? Which players should we sign in order to inspiring the most miserable bastard on the planet?

:o

Bart is a vampire of positivity. He sucks the hope out of things until all that remains is an empty husk of despair.

Go Bart.

Also I couldn't fit all that into his new title so he got a different one instead.

Also I think that Bart is an emo.

i think barts an emu

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Being a league 1 club I'm not sure what an 'inspiring signing' is. Last time I was excited about a close season signing was Thorpe & Cureton .  :oops:

Having said that, the Planet Swans message board don't seem to be too upset at losing him. He's hardly played over the last 2 years. They paid £200k for him, so he must have had something once.  Then again, Jason Drysdale.


Are you volunteering to be Rod Hull?

he has a funky surname but thats about it.

The next few weeks? Hardly the epitome of precision is it

I seem to remember he was a pretty good player at Yeovil, think that was a loan spell though. I reckon he could be a decent signing for us, based on that and his potential on CM 0102.

Yes, lets get Cherno Samba and To Madiera in too.

Who gives a shit who we get them from? if they get the job done then fine.

I'm sure Wanker will do a good job, a year or so ago he was in the swansea 1st team, they changed managers and his face didn't fit, should prove good competition for Jack Smith

swapping minge for a wanker? We're jsut  team full of innuendos!

Cant we sign any more black french dudes? They seem to have been neglected now.

 :soapy tit wank:
True though.

Everyone knows To Madiera wasn't real  :roll:

Cherno Samba's ace, I've got him on FM08  8)

It works for Arsene Wenger to be fair.

WHAT A SIGNING :D

Totally agree with you on that one Arriba, some people wouldn't be happy if we signed a load of champions league players!! :roll:

 Not many in the years you describe ....more have gone the other way.

  Howard Pritchard in the 80's was ex City, as was John Emanual who had a short loan.  Kevin Baddeley was a Swindon boy who went to City, may not have played many games and came home for a couple of seasons.

  Of course recently there's been Oolit and Chavmeister.

  Rovers have probably supplied a few more...including Chalkie and Timmy Parkin......the hugely shit Gary Emmanual was Rovers we traded him for Animal Williams.... :roll:

  I watched the Wanker when we played Yeovil a bit back....he's an athlete, can get up and down the park, which could be highly useful away from home, but in keeping with a lot of this type,  does bugger all with the ball.

  A Swansea mate agreed this would be the reason Martinez didn't fancy him.

We'll see what he's like i guess. Didn't do too badly at City and i thought he was pretty good from what i saw of him. He's had injuries though so he's a risk. As for City players i'm not too bothered. Peacock is hardly a terrible player is he?

 From what I recall The Wanker was out a fair time when doing something nasty to his neck...when in an RTA where the driver was doing a Dell Boy.

In the "olden" days, there was less player movement full stop, so it didn't happen as much.  PLus you often had a few local lads in the team who would have carried the "attitude" of dislike with them if they had of moved.  These days we are talking about signing ex City players who have pretty much no real interest in City or Bristol, or probably even the West Country.  I'd be miffed it were talking about signing City fans, but does this guy really have any interest in them or our rivalry? doubt it.

I would imagine the ex City players flocking here are happy to finally play for a club that has actually achieved something during its existence.

If you watch Scott Murray you can tell it does mean something to him. Celebrates properly, pulls out big performances, big goals, what the fans love to see. To be honest he's been a class act for City. He didnt do well at Reading either, which suggests he didnt really want to be there. Same with John McGinlay at Bolton, just seemed to have such an affinity with the club. The hatred stems from a bit of jealousy really because you think why dont our players celebrate with the fans like they do?

As for this bloke were about to sign, Ive got nothing against him for being a fringe City player. Just have a problem with him being crap. Scott Murray doesnt seem so bad after all now.

The reject thing does hurt, because the boot was on the other foot not so long ago.

TBF I think The Wanker isn't a bad signing at all.  He's big strong and quick,  should add a bit on defending set pieces which were a struggle last season.

 :mrgreen:

if they go down in the line of Peacock and Allision then i wont mind. if they are more of the Christian Roberts mould then i probably wouldnt be too pleased.

I've never hit anyone, so take that back!!!!! 8)

Had quick look through some of the reports and fan's comments from I'm a Wanker's time at Brizzle, Yeovil and Swansea 06/07 and it's all quite impressive stuff.

Like Reg and Robbo Roberts mentions in todays Adver he's big, tall, strong and likes to get forward and he certainly creates a few goals along the way.

Give him, a full pre-season and half a dozen straight games and see what the result is.  Could be a hidden gem.

Big, strong and quick but cant play football.

He'll offer a good contrast to Jack Smith then who can play football but is slow and short

I'd be very happy if he was in the Christian Roberts mould. Minus the booze problem and injuries of course.

... and his general Welsh, gold-teeth, gangsterness.

I loves Chrissy though.

Reckon that many of you have got it wrong.  We're NOT signing City rejects, City has become our junior club.

We are making signings....so ime happy,he isnt a world beater,but world beaters wont get you out of lge 2....ask the leeds fans.

We got out of league 2 a couple of seasons back  :D

Depends what sort of world beaters you mean. If they're football world beaters then I reckon they'd get us out of any league, probably in the right direction.

That was far too pendantic. Sorry.
