From todays adver....



Have herd he is fairly good but on reputation rather than seeing him play.

Not much giving away if this is a loan or a permanent move, but my moneys on the latter.  

Looks a good versitile young player and with the nucleus of young talent at the club plus Shakey and Platt there may some hope for the long term future.

I still think that we are in desperate need of some serious grit and experience and then there is the small matter of Parkin's replacement.  That said while a bit of a risk with the calibre of the youngsters coming in it takes less of the pressure off if some of the out of contract players walk.

On the subject of Parkin yesterday I herd a strong rumour that the club are demanding a million no less.  More of a smoke screen to ensure maximum bids but if the actual quoted figure of 450k is true the it's a lot better than the 250 floating around a few weeks back.

do we need another left wing back type player?!

We have Nicholas and possibly Duke....

Shakes is a right winger and Platt is a centre half....still no tough tackling midfielder to talk of...

Duke is going i think

....and hes generally shite at left back

Wouldnt go that far......he had a good season post october....

Not really. He was good for a couple of months post october then went back to being rubbish again

I have a sneaky  Duke will be off.  This will be the 2nd sucessive  big drop in contracts he has been offered and he was borderline on going last summer.  

Think this lad Tierney can also play at RB so King will have him up front before long.

I am guessing that all three youngsters are coming in to challenge and provide depth rather than be pencilled in as immediate first team starters.  Transfer Window shenanigans will mean we have to have more cover then we have had in recent seasons.

Anyway, back onto Tierney - sounds like a good signing if we can get him, be it on loan or permanantly

Though Dukes best spell was when he was linking up with Holmes....

Tierney sounds good! good signing if we can pull it off.

aren't we still after Holmes??
I can't see why we wont get him on a season long loan. Not as though he has been a 1st team regular at Derby

i had tierney on loan on footy manager as cover for nicholas - he was pretty good - not better though.

seems nicho will be on his way out soon if king is looking at someone else

Fingers crossed Derby will go up. Not looking especially likley after the first leg, and some of Derbys better players being injured.

Is the 2nd leg tonight anyone? might watch it if it is

He was ace as a wingback in my world conquering Swindon team on CM01/02 :advercool:

Anyway, sounds as if Nicholas or Duke are on their way out if he's after this lad.

Sounds like Duke's leaving but I think Nicholas will stay, one left back is not really enough and we haven't signed him yet.

Word on the grapevine, that i swing on chimp-stylie on a regular basis but i digress, is that Daisy Duke is on his way to Poxford this summer. Best place for him in my opinion, he'll fit right in with bthe rest of the shite there! :soapy tit wank:


Wales must be shorter than Engerland for their forthcoming fixtures, as they have called up Craig Davies! Hasn't he only scored a couple of goals???? Word is, he's going to partner Earnshaw up front......surely C Roberts is better than that shitbag

Word on my street is that Nicholas is definitely off, he's not happy at being packed off on loan last season and can't stand King.......Now there's a surprise !!!!

Craig Davies?? Isn't he that bloke on Bo Selecta who impersonates Craig David????

Looks like this one may be scuppered as the club are not prepared to make an offer until we hear back from the contract rebels.

Understandably attracting interest from other clubs and it won't be long before one of them beats us to the chase.

On the Duke front the local Darlington rag has stated they are looking at him.

Christ almighty board, offer Teirney a deal anyway. The squad needs massive additions in nearly every department, fuck whose staying etc. Just get some bodies secured.

no one is staying though surely thats obvious

Evans might.
Igoe might.
Duke won't get a better offer.

But even if EVERYBODY stays we need more players and if Nicho does go then Tierney would be a good addition
