Article in The Sun today (must be true :) )

Apparently Paolo is going to sign him after his release from Shitty today !!!

Fodders > James

Bullshit story.

 He's looked awful in highlights i've seen this season

Hope not, Fods needs games to get better, don't see the point in benching a decent youngster to play an old shit eco-warrior.

Absolute horse shit, he is on a rumoured £40k a week at Shitty and they can't wait to get rid of him, the only capacity he could come in is would be goalkeeping coach.

I'd rather have Sid James - and he's fucking dead

I'd rather have Mattia Lanzano

Could be a decent back up if Phil Smith is moving on.

I think his expertise in dropping the ball at crucial moments and having over inflated worth could be crucial for any team.

Seriously, fuck off with this BS deal unless its in a coaching capacity. Wes is a better prospect and probably just better anyway. There is a reason the slave traders dropped James.

hes past it

How strange...mentioned him in another thread this morning.  Would seem a very strange signing.

Next big name manager? Only a sort of player manager, he could cover the bench.

Some player manager appointments inspire (hoddle), some not so much (McMahon). James would feel like a disappointment to me, though clearly there is no real reason as to draw such a conclusion.

But that's hypothetical. There is no suggestion of anything like this happening.

Indeed it's just a thought....

Probably very very lazy journalism, they have picked up that Paolo dropped Wes last week.....alarm bells ringing that Swindon need a new keeper and then they picked up that Paolo played with James for a few years at West Ham......put 2 and 2 together and came up with 44.

Would be OK could act as a kind of player-coach, sitting on the bench. What club wouldnt want an ex England international passing on experience to their younger players?

If di canio fucks off it will be ling-taylor-bodin i'm sure

Really wouldnt be keen on that, not a massive fan of ex players coming back. (Even though Ling is a decent manager)

Bristhole Shitty obviously! :D

Could work as back up to Wes, with Bedwell and Scott still here aswell could be good for them. If it happens I think it would be if Smith left though.

The youth keeper(bedwell) will be a pro next year. We wont need another back up keeper apart from him.

Bedwell will probably go out on loan. Next year will be a big one for Scott.

forgot him. Even more reason why we wont need James. Don't think Smith will want a move but may be forced to by the looks of it.

As Paolo was at West Ham with James - then he'll know, he's fucking awful....

I think so as well.

Never been a fan of David James. Can't stand him.

Also that Lanzano had a 2 year contract didn't he? Not saying he is any good, but if we are paying him....

I see David James is interested in the Boremuff managers job.

May do well for them he is an intelligent person if not a very good keeper.

Hasn't he applied for Curly Withers job - the only way he'll get to Wembley again!

He thinks he's intelligent - don't know if he actually is. He can prove it well away from the CG.

To be fair many said the same of paolo chalkie.Never quite understood the hatred of james.Honest pro never really in the press for the wrong thing,Racists.

Indeed. Was first mentioned in Bristol Evening Post last week. Methinks agent trying to find client club near south west home ....

If Paolo went to the board saying that we need to sign Calamity James, I would show him the video of James punching the ball into his own net against Watford.

City fans I know at work said their season improved as soon as he was dropped, and that he is passed it. He had to go off early in their last game of the season due to injury, and City, like Paolo normally does, didn't have a reserve keeper on the bench.

We shouldn't sign an injury prone keeper on big money who is past it

I honestly can see no reason why we'd go for James.

If we sign him i'm never going again..

Well maybe 3 or 4 games but apart from that i'm definitly not going

oh and any exciting FA Cup Games

apart from that though

obviously i'm not including Wembley Cup finals in this either...

And or course away games which are different  :)

All you need to know about David James. The comment from Tony Gubba says it all...
