Title: Amdrius Velicka Post by: NorwayRed on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 18:43:46 Velicka is no longer wanted at Aberdeen, and they are set to let him go. St. Gallen in Switzerland is interested, but surely Swindon Town would be more attractive!

Bagged in goals for Hearts, and scored 4 in 8 for Rangers. I saw him a few times when playing in Norway. Strong, big old school centre forward!

Worth a speculative punt in my opinion. We need someone of your calibre on the scouting team, at least the Scandinavian branch. Unearth another Jan Aage for us :)
Title: Re: Amdrius Velicka Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 18:53:19 I keep thinking we have signed players! Me too and when they're random names, I don't know, they excite me. Title: Re: Amdrius Velicka Post by: NorwayRed on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 18:55:51 I keep thinking we have signed players! Well, Danny Wilson should broadened his mind when it comes to new players. I know foreign players haven't been that much of a success at Swindon, but there has been a few - and when Danny keeps moaning 'there ain't no players available', it's just a matter of looking and knowing who's available for a trial game or at least a closer look. A lot of good players in Norway would do anything to get a chance in League One, for instance! Title: Re: Amdrius Velicka Post by: shady on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 18:58:00 Anyone remember Nestor Lorenzo?

Gary Johnson signed him on loan at Bristol City, but got injured after one game. He's a injury prone, that's the downside! We don't need another Barry Corr - or do we?!

Title: Re: Amdrius Velicka Post by: shady on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 19:06:11 Galvin tried to make a fresh start at Swindon Town, where he was signed by former Spurs teammate Ossie Ardiles in 1989. He stayed as a player for the rest of the season where Swindon reached the Division 2 play-offs. He then went on to become Ardiles' assistant, before following him to Newcastle United where he took a similar position until Ardiles was sacked in 1992.

Cant remember which Yes, he only got a few minutes in fact... From Wiki: "He lasted just minutes before injuring himself and leaving the field on a stretcher with a suspected serious knee injury.
