Title: 2 new players?
Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 10:04:01
According to DW on the adver site, he is trying to bring in an experienced midfielder and striker on loan.

Perhaps in time for tonight but more likely I would have thought for Saturday

OH!!! a man told me this at circuits last night

he said one was Scott Murray?

But I thought he was joking and walked off laughing but when I looked round he looked all folorne so perhaps he was telling the truth  :eek:

i think the look of forlornness in his eyes may have been because he was trying to chat you up perhaps?


i'd have thought we could do with a winger as well given robson-kanu's recent form...not that i'd know, i've not been since walsall...

We need a central midfielder that can dictate play and play those killer balls - but we have needed one all season so who says we can get one now ?

I suppose we also need a striker, paynter while working hard is not putting many away so it adds to the pressure on Cox, so if we can get someone in that can come and score a few goals it may take a bit of pressure of Cox and he will start firing on a regular basis again

Are loans still allowed?

I thought it was only emergency ones?


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 13:48:52
My understanding was for a week or so after the loan window closed was the emergency loan period, then it reverts to ones that run to the end of the season if i remember rightly.

Isn't he still at Oldham on loan, or has that expired.

I can see us dipping in the loan market today as well, get some young lads in from Championship or lower end Premier league teams.

I doubt any player with experience would be willing to come to us in our situation so it will be U21 players IMO.

Don't think so jje, not according to Wilson in Tuesday's Adver anyway...

Quote
“The players I’m looking for are experienced, so they won’t need any bedding in and they can walk straight into the team.

“We’re looking at areas where we are struggling in numbers - up front and in midfield. We’ve got a few lads who could play in those positions, but they are injured so there’s not a lot we can do about it at the moment.”

Wilson and Windass are bound to be best buddies being from oop north and both having the same Initials. Despite being an ex-scummer at least he'd be guaranteed to put a shift in.

Steven MacLean - according to the Adver. Not the big target man I was expecting. Far more of a finisher.


Story below...
 FORMER Town boss Paul Sturrock could hold the key to Danny Wilson's attempts at bringing new loan signings to the County Ground, according to reports this morning.

With Lee Peacock set to miss the remainder of the campaign, Wilson is desperate to boost his attacking options with Plymouth Argyle's Steven MacLean the latest name to be linked with a temporary switch to Wiltshire.

MacLean has started just a dozen games for Sturrock's Argyle side this season, with the Pilgrims' boss understood to be considering whether to let him out on loan.

Argyle's record signing Simon Walton and Luke Summerfield, son of former Swindon assistant boss Kevin, plus Bristol City midfielder David Noble are other names in the frame.

Wilson was still hoping to tie up a loan deal today, with Pat Kanyuka also on the Town injured list.

Are they 'experienced' though?


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, March 6, 2009, 08:17:37
Steve Maclean has a great goalscoring rate at Scunny and Sheffield Wednesday but unfortunately seems to have suffered some bad injuries and hasn't really been the same since. Think he is similar to Paynter but scores more goals. Could be the kick up the arse Paynter needs with some healthy competition.


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, March 6, 2009, 08:18:34
MacLean and Noble are both quite experienced players and would be good additions to the squad, Walton for some reason is disliked by Argyle fans for his attitude as well as playing style.

All are better than what we already have though IMO.

Although Walton's style of play would bring a lot to our team,he has a severe attitude problem.
I would have thought that wages would also be an issue,unless we could come to some sort
of agreement.

Maclean on the face of it,would bring something,but he has so many fitness and injury problems,
we'd be lucky to get a full 90 mins out of him.

We'll just have to wait and see,but i won't be waiting with baited breath.

Would people not have said the same for Greer though? arrived with a lot of injury and fitness problems and has played nearly every game for us for the full 90 minutes.  Maclean has a good record at previous clubs and would be a good signing.  In fact all of the names linked today I would be pretty happy with.

I think a punt of Jack Smith in centre-mid might work,best passer in the club.Alongside him I would play Easton.


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: DiV on Friday, March 6, 2009, 18:58:29
Easton is still injured from the reserve game against Bournemouth.

I have a feeling we might see Jack Smith in midfield as well. Didnt Iffy play him there once before?


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: michael on Friday, March 6, 2009, 19:01:00
David Noble would be a mint signing. Think he's well out of favour at City as well, only question is does he fancy a relegation battle?

Simon Walton is a massive-time. No thanks.

I thought Summerfield was still getting games at Plymouth so that one might be wide of the mark.

Maclean scores goals in this league, but might be a bit similar to Cox?

Don't know why I'm writing all this to be honest because we haven't signed any of them.

I recon smith could do the job in midfield,if he was on the wing,stick amankwaah in the centre - dont know who would play right back though, take a punt at kennedy or vincent even though their both left footed...unless we start with mcnamee and kanu,in which case amanwaah would sit in midfield and the back four would be unchanged. we'll see tomorrow.


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: RJack on Friday, March 6, 2009, 20:40:41
Only one problem with Amankwaah in midfield and that is he can't tackle. At rightback he is gash, too gangly legged and gets turned.  As a winger he's leet link up play is good etc etc.

Jack Smith would be a terrible choice in midfield.  Timlin is a 5ft nothing & so is Smith what chance do they stand against 6ft odd Franchise players.

Allen is has the same problem.

Lets prey that Franchise are full of midgets so we can see some midget wrestling on the pitch tomorrow

Hmm..Early city's were littered with horses,so my idea is destined to become mechanical eventually (like cities) so it'l probably allow us to do great things.

but no it wasnt tongue in cheek,it was just the only thing i could think of at the time of posting,because i cant see any other way around having only shit midfielders avaliable to play. i can see where the stupidity in the idea is though... :oops:

If I had to go with someone big and solid in midfield I would consider Paynter he has good distribution and will be quite commanding in there as well, we could also see how Razek gets on as wel up topl.  Not sure we could have anyone more solid in there the other options are Nalis and Pook.  Personally I think if we start Timlin and Allen then it could be suicide as they seem to be awful together.


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: Batch on Saturday, March 7, 2009, 10:03:31
Paynter is slower than Nalis and has the tackle of McNamee! I'd rather have super Blair than Paynter in the middle - at least you'd definitely get 100% out of him.

One player turned us down. We are still hopeful on the other (BBC RS).

Adver name Owain Tudur Jones, who we tried to sign a while ago (can't remember who was manager). Also states the player that turned us down was probably Noble. Then again the Adver does seem to make it up as they go along these days.

Done deal according to the BBC - One month

Swansea City midfielder Owain Tudur Jones is to join League One strugglers Swindon Town on a month-long loan deal.

The 24-year-old has had few opportunities at the Liberty Stadium this season having made just four starts in the Championship.

Tudur Jones has not been helped by his injury problems as he has a suffered consistent knee trouble.

Swindon have recruited the three-times capped Wales international as the Robins attempt to stave off relegation.

Teenage sensation Joe Allen has jumped ahead of Tudur Jones in Swans boss Roberto Martinez's midfield pecking order despite injuries Ferrie Bodde and the recently returned Darren Pratley.

Agree, Well lets hope we get confirmation of the deal shortly... I have seen a couple of "It is understood",  "It is belived" There is no smoke without fire but the adver listed about 10 players over the last week so will be cautiously optimistic. But as said before, This is a massive signing in midfield if it comes off and Kudos to DW.

some quotes from the swans and others

Quote
... THANK F*CK for that then!

Good luck to the lad, and genuinely hope he proves us wrong.

Quote
He's shit.

Quote
Unlucky Swindon :laugh:

Most over rated player I've ever seen at the Swans though. I can't say he hasn't been dogged by serious injuries, so I'll give that one to him, and who knows, maybe with a good run of games under his belt he may prove me wrong.

I wouldn't hold my breath though. He can't pass, can't head, his first touch is average, his mobility is shocking, and his work rate is questionable. I just don't think he has enough natural ability to make it, even at League 1 level, where he was also average for us, and that was when he was playing in a good side, which no disrespect isn't going to be the case with Swindon.

Good luck to him though.

Althought the last quote came from the same person who called Big Kev the worst pro-football of all time.

Quote
He's a bit shit

Quote
Ha Ha Ha.....

Quote
Poor first touch, poor in the air, doesnt suit our playing style of football. He would suit a 4-4-2 formation alot better and a team that plays hoofball :thumb

Quote
24?! ****ing hell, I thought he was about 30. He played that way.

Wilson has got the defence playing the best it has all season (still not great but then it'd never change so dramatically in such a short space of time) I put this down to his choice in getting Greer in.

The wings have begun to look threatening to the opposition defence again. I know people slate Kanu, but he is that type of winger who is more troublesome than McGovern.

I've been pretty pleased with the loans so far. We're not going to get amazing players at our level. We've done ok if he's better than Easton, Nalis, Allen or Pook (Timlin & Kanyuka?). I suspect he will be better than that because our central midfield has been so dire and we notice it even more since the defence has stopped leaking so many goals.

I think the main thing is is, Wilson isn't afraid to change things but he does stick with his changes if he feels it will benefit us. In other words, I am more confident Tudor-Jones will be more of an asset than a Casal.


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: DiV on Monday, March 9, 2009, 15:14:40
I agree Si.

We've had plenty of players over the years that other teams havent rated but have done a good job for us. Northampton fans didnt see anything in Parkin after 4 goals in 40 odd games but he was immense for us.

On the subject of Swansea they hated Big Kev, he didnt even get given a squad number last season but for the most part he's done alright for us.

On the flip side Sheffield Wednesday fans rated Patrick Collins and Bristol City fans rated Aaron Brown and both are two of the worst Swindon players we've ever had.

OTJ could turn out good, he could turn out brilliant, he could turn out shit, he could get injured after 2 minutes and never play for us again.

Swansea fans dont rate him though, but then thats just me being miserable  ::)


Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: Colin Todd on Monday, March 9, 2009, 15:14:55
To be honest Swansea fans thinking he's shit dosnt bother me at all.  

He may well be from their perspective, but they are a division and a half above us currently and its hardly a revelation to say that theres a big difference between a top half of the championship team and the team 4th from bnottom of league 1

We are crying out for a player (s) to dominate in the centre of the park.  The fact hes a big cunt is a good start frankly



Title: Re: 2 new players?

Title: Re: 2 new players?
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Monday, March 9, 2009, 15:24:38
The reason Swansea fans no doubt think he is gash is because they have much more talented players, They have a hugely talented squad so to be honest he may be pants compared to the rest of the squad but OTJ knows this level and is the player we need. A good strong midfielder. In 2005-06 started 22 games in all competitions, Sadly since then he has only played in 22 games most of them as a sub. Remember Corr is always injured but was decent, perhaps we can get the same out of Owain Tudor Jones. To me this looks to be a move with a view to next year in signing permanently. Tudor Jones clearly isn’t part of the plans at Swansea so may be available on a free or quite cheap given his history. Like Amankwaah, the change of scenery may only be a good thing. Back in positive mode this week!

Good point about Robson Kanu

He has pace, skill and strength.  If he could shoot and cross consistantly well then he'd be one of the best players in league 1,  and probably playing 1st team football in the championship.  We need to be realistic about the type of player we are going to get in our position

By no means a saviour but a player with a bit of prescence, something our midfield lacks. Ideally we need another one but perhaps OTJ can compliment what we alrady have? Who knows, perpahs OTJ and Easton may be a good midfield combo once Easton gets back from injury?  I also look forward to kanyuka (who has been pretty good in midfield) and Tudor Jones playing in MF.

Players like Robson Kanu, Greer and hopefully tudor-Jones ;)

Its horses for courses really.  I dont think Kanyuka is any worse in midfield than Allen or Pook or Timlin on a bad day.  he has the advantage of being physical but the disadvantage of being clueless with the ball at his feet.

i agree.

What a shit nickname though.

Turbos make things go fast. He wasnt especially fast just had ace stamina and energy levels

I always assumed it was irony.

Let's wait for the guy to kick a ball in anger before we shoot him down....The same happened with Barry Corr....Almost everyone (Bar myself and Reg, if i recall correctly?) shot him down before he'd kicked a ball, due to the negative comments from his former employers, yet he did alright for himself! (Albeit mainly in his first season), but nevertheless, lets give him a chance.

I agree with the sentiment Phil, but I dont think using the example of a player who has been almost permanantly injured for 2 years really helps here regardless of the fact he was quite good in the 15 games he has managed to start.

Barry Corr is made of glass.

I had a good chat with Barry on Saturday, he said the op went well, they cut him open took a bit of bone out, chucked some pins in there and now he's trying to get the strength back.  Thinks it'll be a long road to recovery though.  As far as a contract goes he's doubtful he'll get anything here but lives in hope.  I did think that if we do go down and Coxy goes then perhaps DW will be more interested in giving BC another go.  From the way the lad talks I really do believe he wants to repay this club and the fans for the support he's had since being here.

Players like Robson Kanu, Greer and hopefully tudor-Jones ;)


Robson Kanu has shown flashes of brilliance but very raw IMO. But better than what we have, Greer has turned us around at the back and hopefully OTJ can do the same in midfield. Playoffs here we come ;)

To be honest Swansea fans thinking he's shit dosnt bother me at all.  

He may well be from their perspective, but they are a division and a half above us currently and its hardly a revelation to say that theres a big difference between a top half of the championship team and the team 4th from bnottom of league 1

We are crying out for a player (s) to dominate in the centre of the park.  The fact hes a big cunt is a good start frankly



Yeah lets be honest what the fuck do the taffs know about football they can't even qualify for the World Cup

At 6'4" he should be able to Ed it inside the Pole.

I'm happy with this signing. He's here for a month and prepared to get stuck in. He's had a bit of problems with injuries but it's a month, if he gets injured then we'll look elsewhere.

Good news is that Danny Wilson says he wants to bring in players and he does. That's got to be a little bit encouraging right?

Hoorah, Yea.

 RP....if OTJ isn't the answer in his month, there really isn't long left of the season after that..also Greer will miss the key end of season games. I'm looking forward to May..the TEF can get down to more bollocks than usual.

Greer only misses the very last game, doesn't he?

Can we get confirmation on this please.

We'll either be safe or relegated by then so it does nae matter.

I lose track of all the loan rules these days

Why cant we extend it to cover the final game? Why are we allowed to only to have up to that point?

I suppose the only way around it would be to have Doncaster cancel Greers contract and us to sign him up and then register him before the last game.

I thought you could only sign un-registered players permanently if they were un-registered at the end of the transfer window. Not sure that cancelling their contract would change anything, or everyone would do it to get round the rules.

We could only sign him for a maximum of 3 months (93 days) and those 3 months run out just before the Peterboro game unfortunetly

Would we be more angry if Wilson made no signings at all? I'm not completely naive enough to realise the mess we're in but I acknowledge that Wilson is doing what he can :)

Wilson, despite not sorting out the consistency on the pitch, has done pretty well so far imo, been loving some of his team selections.  But then again I'm easily pleased as I was never that disppointed with MM's reign here either.

I disagree, MM did nothing to try and rip the heart out of the club like SM, okay he didn't do as well as expected but he isn't anyway near the evil man that many make out (not necessarily on here). 

He failed to deliver the goods and was sacked accordingly, don't understand why he's not treated the same as other failures that have tried at this club.
