Apparently Orient want to take him on loan from Luton with a view to making it permanant in January.

Could be a good signing if it happens, but wouldn't help Luton's cause though

Luton's cause is lost though.  They will be playing Conference football next year...with or without Sam.

Would be a good move for him. He needs to get out of Luton really.

we should gazump them

no

Fatbury, despite what Uncle Bob said, signing a player on loan, is NOT like buying a house.

It's more like renting a house.

Parkin is a rentboy?

No, he's a houseboy. He'll come round and do some light hoovering, bit of dusting and have your slippers and a G&T ready for when you get home from work

*waits for someone to say 'lets get him here instead'.

Let's get him here instead.

As in Fatbury's  "should we gazump them" ?

we have nobody on loan here yet.if he's available then why shouldn't we get him?

It is not forwards we need though, if we are going to get loan players in, we need a goalkeeper who doesn't flap for a start.

I agree its not forwards we need but on the other hand.....Sammy WILL put extra bums on seats at the CG.

So the extra attendances may even pay for his wages for the period of the loan.

Thinking on the forward front, at the beginning of the season Malpas stated we don't need forwards when all of us were praying for a forward signing. Flip me he is being proved right on that front.

As much as I love the guy, we don't need Parkin right now. Cox & Paynter have a really good partnership going and play well together and Corr provides adequate cover.

Agreed. I'd take a fully fit Parkin over Paynter player for player any day. But as you say, Paynter and Cox seem to work well. Nice finish from Billy yesterday too (two in two).

why not strengthen up front? alot would argue that when strong in an area is the best time to do it.
i know we need other areas bolstering too,but i'd deffo get parkin in.we have nothing to lose if it's only a loan.

When Cox goes in January for £5m we could use some of that money to pay for Parkin.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Lay off. He needs that pay packet to hang out in the advance hair studio with Shane Warne.

As good as he was for us, i wouldn't come back just because he returned, if that hypothetically happened, and i hypothetically didnt turn up any more.

I really dont want to re-sign him.

officialy signed on loan for leyton orient, will still be their when we play them on the 20th

ooooooooooooooooooooooooh

our loss

He'll still be there...



...but injured.

Don't we play them Boxing Day as well? Twice in a row. That's a bit weird like.

i was just repeating what was on another site. Your right, it is the 26th, not the 20th

Theres no way he will be fit for the 26th guaranteed injury before then, that has been his problem since he left us.
