Gutted, you got in before me :(

Oooh thats got me going now !

Lovely Jubbly!

Interesting to see what this will mean for some of the others.  I am sure he can still do a good job for us.  Still hope we can somehow get a decent central midfielder though!

Well well, this could be good, does any one know how old he is now

That is a splendid signing.  Some people will say "Ooooh, he's too old".

They will be wrong.  He has still got it.

Great signing.

He is 33 i believe

Well that not too bad, now where will king play him, that supposing we won't just sign him, and not bother
 :)

Does this mean the end of nicolas as thats three other left sided players now, smith, nicolau and summerbee.

Marie actually thinks this is down to her!

its a good signing but it will be interesting to see where he plays him. if it's right wing then what does that mean for shakes & roberts? maybe buzzer could do a job in the middle? not really a tough tackler if i remember rightly though.

i'm sure he will get a good reception on sat

SIGN A FUCKING CENTRE HALF AND MIDFIELD BALL WINNER FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!!

Sorry, but this is getting stupid.

Summerbee is right footed though

Where do you think King will play him though...right back, centre mid or right wing?!

NOt sure, i think he may well play wing backs in the hope of an extra body in midfielder making us a bit stronger there.  Most interesting is what will happen with roberts!

I thought he had a left foot on him, maybe im wrong?!!?!?!

Yes....you are wrong....

Yes....you are wrong....

Summerbee good quality right back ... But does this mean we can push O Hanlon into midfield now??

My guess is Kingy will go with (when all are fit!)

Evans
Summerbee Collins Ifil Smith
Shakes Migz O Hanlon Whalley
Fallon Cureton

With Roberts Thorpe Bulman Nicolau and Jenkins as spares

ah legend!

hope he is on a low wage though! and im assuming he will be. could be a good squad player.

Buzzer has a sweeeeeeeeeeet right foot.

I wonder if AK sees him as the midfield hardman?  He certainly has the experience and and was never afraid of putting his foot in.

Lets hope its a good move, not like the return of Kerslake, which I though was a bit crap.

whats jon gittens doing now days :)

Has she been enticing Summerbee with her favours too?

  Clearly a panic move from King...last thing we need.

  I suppose its non contract so there's no real loss.....I'll be surprised if he plays more than 2 or 3 games.

  I get the impression that King is starting to feel the heat,  his decision making is becoming more and more bizarre.

Could do a job in centre I reckon .. hes tenacious enuf!!

Funny summerbee story .. back in the days when he was a youth player .. He feel up the stairs at the top of the North stand /Arkells and dropped his luckily not too hot coffe over my mum and was distraut!!

Came back later with complimentary pass for the next home match (players longue etc) for my mum, dad and me!

LEGEND!

 :soapy tit wank:

yea good old buzzer, but is he the right man? :wall:

I like the man but is he really worth getting. It isnt that I don't think he is a good player it is that we have enough players in the positions he plays.

Nothing to lose from it I suppose but personally I think its a waste of time.

I think you may be right there Reg, I've no idea at all why we are signing someone whos best position is right wing. We really dont need any more right wingers.

As others have said though its non contract so we're not going to lose out anyway.

My schoolboy hero is back  :\/

Summerbee can play central midfield as well as on the wing and full back.

But theres no point in playing him in central midfield, his best attibute by a mile is his crossing ability.

True but he's a better ball winner than Whalley.

Also he has probally lost alot of his pace from years ago when he was a winger.

well, i think he has also been brought im due to his verstality, like dukey. but he is probably better than dukey, or he better be!

Apathy rules in my house Im afraid-never bring back old heroes unless hes Scott Leitch!

I used to love Scott Leitch!  We could seriously do with him now!

fucking ace, I wish I could still fit into my premiership shirt with Summerbee on the back!!

ah scott leitch, bring him and horlock back and we are destined for promotion!  8)

I actually spat my coffee out when i read that! Funny as fuck!

I have Fjortoft on my premiership shirt  8)

Scott Leitch was very average, Summerbee was great.

What do you mean by we don't need any more right wingers because we have how many, one? Ricky Shakes.

On a non-contract basis there is no downside, if it doesn't work out it's not a problem but it will be great to see Summerbee in a Swindon shirt again, as he was pure class. Also has officially the hardest shot of anyone ever.

John Moncur on my Premierhship shirt!! :mrgreen:

Fucking top move and an excellent signing but without putting an instant dampner on things completely wrong sort of player.

That said he'll be an excellent addition to the squad and an experienced head to boot.

Despite being released last season he was rather good for Bradford, scoring a few and getting plenty of assists.  The move came about after a couple of spats with Todd came to a head.

Did mention him when he got released.

No one in the slightest bit miffed with him still after the way he pre-announced his departure in the Premiership?

No we were fucking shit and going down, he deserved to stay in premiership.


Much like Parkin moving on.

Sonic bring it to the merlin and I will put it on!!!!!  Will even let you take a pic for this website

I got some fat-arse boner over this one.  Yes it's sentimental and he's probably not the man we need right now - I'm not really old enough (only properly followed Swindon for about 7 years) to remember Summerbee but having seen him play for Bradford I thought he was a quality player, and crossing ability shouldn't disappear with age.  With Fallon in the box to head in a pin-point ball we could be laughing.  Parkin would have been in dreamland had he had Summerbee's service!

Ultimately, seeing as this signing is on a non-contract basis it's a win-win situation.  Hopefully he turns out to be a steal and provide some competition for Shakes.  Am not totally convinced by Roberts on the right, although could this spell curtains for him?

I'd heard a long t ime ago that ladies weren't his cup of tea !  :x

Needs some time with his fitness apparently, possibly best off starting on the bench if he's to feature in the forest game.

To be fair to him he's not had a pre-season at all so it'll take him a few games before he's really upto a level of fitness that would allow him to perform to his full ability. I hope that the fans realise this and don't get on his back immediately like they have with some of the new signings, although the fact he was such a great player for us in the past should mean people will be willing to cut him a little slack.

11 years have gone by quickly looking at those photos of him, even 12. Stratton Bank full of red, shrivenham road the mentalist stand and even that lump of a defender Michael Vonk.

I still dont see the point in signing him. Hes not fit and we have players who can play in his position.

Not many and if he doesn't play we don't have to pay him.

Yes but we dont have many players for ANY position do we?

If  he'd had had a pre season and was match fit I could understand it more, but as it is I can see a couple of sub apperances then being released. OK it wont cost any money, but its still pointless

KING OUT :wink:

I reckon I could....

Swindon Legend,Swindon Legend, whoa whoa!

I tried on my premiership shirts a couple of years ago before I threw em out. I think I ripped one of them trying to get it on :oops:  :oops:

Skintight football shirts on a fat man.... its a good look :mrgreen:

I'll bring it to the Merlin, it's a bit tatty because some cunt grabbed me by the collar before kicking the shit out of me when I was about 11  :cry:

It's matchworn and everything, I might try and get it signed  :D

Exactly so one more is always a good thing, particularly if it's a legend like Summerbee who will attract a number of fans back just to see him.

Top man.

I've said it before, but I will say it again as it got ignored.

COULD BUZZER DO A JOB IN MIDFIELD????

IS THAT WHY MONKEY MAN HAS SIGNED HIM????????????????



P.S. Is Reggie Smeeton Supersonic reincarnated? :shock:

What is the point of having a good crosser to two 3" midgets.

Fallon will start tomorrow. :D

would have been nicer to get a tough tackling midfielder...i know its obvious, just saying what we all want!

I wont ignore it this time.

No
&
No

 :|

Tough tackling midfielder, hmmmmmm... how about Ross Mclaren?  :mrgreen:

If he plays central midfield I am going to piss on your head.

summerbee + fallon = 20 goals a season

FACT

look at dean windass, hes shit and scored shit loads  :D

I'm happy he's back although I'm basing that purely on past memories.

As it's non contract at present it's worth a try.

Just spoke to my Dad and told him we'd signed an ex player from the early 90's, his guess...............Steve White!

Oh dear  :oops:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: ace

I think I still have mine somewhere... Wait a minute... S-u-m-m-e-r-b-e-e

Jesus that shirt was expensive... Thanks mum!

I'm happy he's back for nostelgia alone.

He is most welcome.

this is a goal he scored last season!

he can still hit a ball!

That was a good free kick, good match as well Tranmere 4 Bradford 5!

Hope he could do one of those for us.

i wonder if we will hear that famous call........."skin em buzzer"

He was impressive today, although fitness looked a problem - good shout to bring on Roberts.  I'd keep the bugger, gives us an alternative to Shakes!

Spotted you in the Town End today Walrus.  You are indeed a very pretty boy. :fag:  :wink:

Stalker  :P

I never spot anyone from the forum when I'm in the Town End, it just seems a mass of angry faces.  I've fucking lost my voice now, screamed for pretty much 90 minutes like a plonker!

Walrus nearly ran me over while cutting every one up on the magic roundabout!!!

My throat is fucked after all the singing and abuse aimed at that cunt D'Urso, well worth it though.

Did anyone notice Summerbee couldnt run for more than 2 steps? He whipped in one cross and then seemed to be picking daisys for the rest of the game

 :soapy tit wank:   To or from the game?  I was in a hurry either way!!  Sorry  :mrgreen:

I still don't how to use that abomonation anyway....

Before the game....id say between 20 to and quater to three....

I missed that and I was with you, I'd have pushed you into the traffic if I'd been paying attention  :D

Yeh I was dashing from some two-bit pub we'd been to in the middle of nowhere near Swindon station, as we still had to grab munch and collect our tickets!  I scared the shit out of my mates going across that roundabout, so not surprising if there were a few pedestrian casualties!  Rest assurred it was in a good cause though!   :P

You were all infront of me....I was being a gentleman and making sure the lady of the group crossed the road safely... 8)

I'll fight you for her!

Bring it on......but when I kick your ass......remember to add the points onto my total....not yours :twisted:

I like the new name change also  8)

a thank you  8)

I have never met anyone from the forum.  I was planning to meet Sonic in the Arkells but I couldn't find him.

*Waits with mouth open*

 :mrgreen:  :P
