Does anyone think we could get him back here on loan? Seeing as Leeds never play him and their fans hate him

Not a chance.

I heard Bradford were interested in him. Can't see him dropping to L2 level though!

looked around and apparently Brighton were gonna try for him.

He is set to leave Leeds and join a team in league 1 or 2 on loan. Cant see him dropping down to league two, as he thinks he is better than he really is and will be living off of his 09/10 stats. I imagine most of league one will chase him if they are aware of his availablility.

Hudds or the Sheffield clubs most probably.

Don't think Huddersfield would take him, they're strikeforce is good enough. However with Wilson at United they'll be most likely to snatch him.

I wouldnt want him back.

Move on.

Ha ha, Payner wouldn't be able to cope with PDC's fitness regime.  Apart from that, he isn't better that what we have up front at the moment.

???

Of course he is.

Agreed

Some fucking goon yesterday was moaning/suggesting we should get Cox back...

Behind the goal at the back?
Some proper drivel coming from that area yesterday.

Some guy was saying we should try and get Jutkiewicz on loan.... some people just dont have a clue. Middlebrough or Swindon on loan?? You choose

Yes you would.

brighton tried to sign him for 150k on the last day of the window, so what do you reckon

good gag.

Nah, just dont want to watch him anymore. He played a lot of games for us, and there are things that just get on your tits about certain players. We got the best form of his career out of him for 4 months at the end, but what about the rest of it? Even then, it was all about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Just another mercenary who only gives his best when it suits him. Wouldnt get on with Paolo at all.

Once again, no thanks.

In Simon Cox shadow but the second name on the team sheet every week. Vitally important to us and would walk into our current side.

I know you love him.

He was always in someone elses shadow because he wasnt good enough to have enough impact on his own.

Put him up front with Ben Hutchinson, and guess what, it was utter shite.

Not an important player.

He was a key player in his 3/4 of a good season. Not shit but not brilliant for most of the rest of the time.

He was a player who scored 4 (or 5 goals one game) then within 2 weeks, he came out with "I am not confident".

Utter bollocks.  We saw the very best of him in 1 season.

No thanks, let's look somewhere else.

His time here was not a happy one which is part of the reason he cleared off at the earliest opportunity

I know you hate him.

No shame in being in the shadow of Simon Cox - many strikers past and present were/are. Cox was the best striker we've had since Fjortoft.

Anyone would struggle upfront with Ben Hutchinson.

Clearly an important player at the time.

Simply incredible that some people wouldn't want to have him back. Each to there own I suppose.

Too far south?

Everyone treating him like a cunt I would guess.

So he went to Leeds, where they really really hate him?  Anything specific from his time at Swindon?

Honestly dont hate him myself. Just theres no way Id want to watch him play for another season.

 Good player for us giving 100% every match,only soured for me by the public knowledge of his move to Leeds during the playoffs/final.....it probably cost us promotion because he was dire in the final and the Paynter v Leeds home/away would have probably given us the edge v Millwall.
Would like him back...but he is to good for LGE 2.

I think he's the sort of player which isn't universally liked anywhere for whatever reason. Championship level is too high for him though.

Fans never really took to him, only got a contract offer when he'd had a brilliant season and wasn't valued until then.

But the past is the past, he wouldn't be any good second time round I don't think.

Because most managers have used him as the workhorse for the more natural scorers,hence he works his balls off but one season apart dosn't score enough.

Kerrouche and Connell both have high work rates and start defending high up the pitch, which is what BP used to do for us. Just because neither Kerrouche or Connel scored in the last match it is hardly a goalscoring crisis.

To be honest, am happy with our current strikeforce. Czech internation target man ? Check, High scoring Conference striker with high work rate and good feet ? Check, Algerian menace with pace, high work rate and a mean shot ? Check. Alot of league two teams would love to have our strike force.

Back in the day Paynter was our man. We have moved on and so has he.....hows Austin getting on perhaps we could get the pair of them back...!!! along with Douglas....moving on I think

I was surprised to see austin has scored 5 this season.  Not doing too badly really.

Had the opportunity of a big pay day and took it.

Reality then bites and it back to the real world.

Good divvy 1/2 striker as a foil.

He's scored some really good goals. Always had the scorers instinct, just a question of whether other things get in the way.

Crossbar,post or keeper you mean.
