Title: this benjamin deal Post by: red macca on Monday, January 30, 2006, 17:30:31 is shit. but i cant help feeling iffys got his hands tied here.as you all know i think the club obviously has one eye on league 2(not a bad thing it makes sense).we all think we need a striker which is obvious but if we sign one on a long contract that leaves us next year with peacock,cureton,roberts,holgate,caton,and the young polish lad and if we signed another today that would be SEVEN strikers on a finance crippled clubs books.just dont think it makes sense...think we could of got a better striker on loan though.i have seen benjamin play numerous times and he is utter shit.i hope he turns out ok if he does i will hold my hands up just cant see it

Doubt anyone with the sort of experience as lumpy here would come quite as cheap!
Hopefully this isn't all of the Fallon cash now used for players. Title: this benjamin deal Post by: Whits on Monday, January 30, 2006, 23:41:01 its a bit like wayne allison style player, after he left we were never the same that season. everyone needs a lump

Title: this benjamin deal Post by: DV on Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 17:53:38 I was speaking to my gramp on the phone last night, he saw Benjamin turn out for p'boro reserves sometime for some reason anyway.
Gods honest trurth, he compared his ball control to that of my dog 'You know when you play ball with Millie and she runs too fast and its get caught under he feet and she isnt sure where it is' 'yeah' 'that what Benjamins like' |
