good prospect says my mate...

Action Replay!

Didnt look particularly good against Salisbury when me and Hertha saw him but hes young and had crap service so who knows.

I didn't realise he was only 17 due to his lankiness. At that age I would get him on board, he's obviously got something about him, good pace and strength and a dose of natural ability, his positioning and interplay need working on but there's plenty of time for that I guess.

What is he, river police or something?

I assume the draw back maybe that is he will have to be given a pro contract rather than youth deal so would be a lot more pressure and be expected to break through and he has quite a bit of competition in front of him

get him signed on then send him on loan, what have we got to lose.

is he is naughty scamp?

Hes a bit more than a naughty scamp Charlotte...hes just been released from young offenders institute for illegal missdemeanors!

Thats why he was released by the Saints...but you live and learn and everyone is allowed one problem in their past and not be berated for it.

Hopefully he is reformed and has learnt his lesson.

Get rid. There's a lot of good players out there who aren't tossers.

:D

You sir are ruthless!

Moonraker for Prime Minister.

he would be a great signing, some prem clubs chasing him aswell, snap him up quick

Sign him up so we have the opportunity to sell him to a mid table prem team for silly money.

It's win, win.

You been talking to Dave Byrne Rich?

Herthab knows what I am talking about!

Am I right!?!

Good goal last night.

Sign him up.

latest rumour is that Newcastle want him and are offering a sign up payment that Swindon won't match

Well Mr Byrne spoke to us last week and basically stated he thinks he will make us several million in transfer fees in the near future, the phrase....Pies and skies springs to mind tho.

he's certainly worth signing but if we think that so will the big clubs

hey, chromey-D you're back.

How do you keep your finger so steadily on the rumour pulse without falling over?

Eh? on that basis Nalis would've signed for Real Madrid

I have a feeling that a lot of bigger clubs won't go near him (for now) because of his antics.

spent most of last night standing next to his agent and over heard his conversation with asennior Swindon official - but its probably just hot air

i bet youre chasing him aswell arent you

not my type - I prefer a bald head even on women

What exactly has he done?

I can't imagine Newcastle wanting another problem child on their hands.

attempted murder.

I'm not sure - but he's been at a young offenders institute (as mentioned) ... He can room with Joseph Barton, a lethal mix.

surely he's not that bad - perhaps he just tickled someone a bit too energetically

chrome is right Newcastle are interested in him

Nile Ranger is on trial at Newcastle

Crown Court or Football Club?

Football Club  :D

MM stated after the Supermarine game he was playing at Hungerford tonight and then he would decide about him. Unless someone from Newcastle was at the supermarine game I would find it a bit odd that they have suddenly decided to give him a trial

JPC knows his stuff in this department... So we'll have to see.

Nile Ranger (Nilos Ranger as is his proper name) was arrested for stealing or robbery however you wish to put it, he has his own Myspace page.

He is seriously street boi as they say "on the street"  ::)

this is his myspace page........enjoy.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=120797284

And I contacted him via facebook and asked him straight about Newcastle........

His answer was blunt.....

NO!

He'll probably turn up, by helicopter from Newcastle, tonight for the Hungerford game for a bit of match practise before signing for them.

Maybe.

 ???

flippin word.

Init Boi

Judging by that i would say he is a white polish lad

Where is the Ginsta Rappa when you need a translation.....

Purely for the fact that he types like a cunt, we should tell him to jog on. IMO of course

 Lordy what the bloody hell is that site all about? does no one speak english anymore? That was bizarre.

he is wanted by both Newcastle & Everton on trial, he may well play at hungerford but hes still going to have a trial at Newcastle whether hes playing tonight or not

That site is funny as fuck. I don't understand 90% of it :)

Brilliant  :D

wow.

 I thought this site was as extreme as it got with 80% bollocks, that drivel puts this to shame.....thank god.

if i put that into babelfish translator, i get this:

I am looking forward to playing football this weekend for Swindon. I like it here. There is a man called Budgie who shouts a lot but he is nice really. i scoreded an overhead kick the other night and it didn't hurt when i landed or anything. I'm going to be as good as Wayne Rooney when i'm older. People say i am going to move to Newcastle but i'm not as it's too cold there and they talk funny. Anyway, i have to go because my mum is calling and i'm having fish fingers for my tea. After tea i am allowed to watch Eggheads before it's up the wooden hill to bed-fordshire for me. Bye!

Very good.  :girlgiggle:

he is living in digs with Joycey and Sean Morrison, so i dont believe Nile really wrote that :)

Foiled! you know everything!! ::)

clearly dont get sarcasm

I noticed, but don't beat yourself up about it fella.

It's like cheese and port, you begin to understand it when you get older. 

ok pal good one

http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/dialectt.cgi

I've translated that to Jive:


To moron

and my favourite, the Mupets Sweedish chef:

:D

Slow day eh Batch!

Very slow. Roll on 6:20, Beer and Hungerford.

"Slap mah fro!"

 :rofl2:

"bork bork bork" - Classic Swedish Chef :D

you bumbaclart

Seems no Nile crossing at Hungerford tonight. Not in the team or on the bench. That Nile, maybe he gypped Town to look over Geordies ...

As JCP Pook told us today.

Corroboration, innit?

Spoke to Morrison tonight who also confirmed that Ranger had an offer of a trial at newcastle

Adver says he is no longer on trial at town

i dont bullshit when i announce news on here

You don't talk about the interesting stuff though! Did that Championship player ever find a club?!?!?!

:notworthy:

thats still on going

Ah so it's the Betsy, whoever guy.

And we're still awaiting this BIG announcement that you spoke so much about.

that was i told spud, its not news on  players though, so i dont know too much about it

Least we didnt sign this utter fuckwit.

he started his trial at Newcastle yesterday, He was offered a deal here but it wasnt as much money as he wanted.
I wouldnt be suprised if he ends up back here,  if he is turned down by Newcastle because he did enjoy his time here.
6 goals in 4 games says to me hes worth a year

hes signing a 2 year contract today at Newcastle

well that could come back to haunt us.

indeed, he played in a game for Newcastle, scored 2 and was signed straight after

I don't think so. They would've been sniffing around regardless. He was obviously someone who'd still be at Southampton Academy had it not been for his offences. The lure of a Premiership club is too big.

if we had offered him £300 a week instead of the £150 we offered he would have signed, when he was told of interest from Newcastle and Pompy he said he wants to stay at Swindon, he liked it here, but after the shit deal we offered him he got 5 times as much at Toon

£300 a week on a spoiled brat teenager with a criminal record? No thanks :D

was that 150 as a pro or as a youth teamer?

1 year pro

But we've got Kasali Yinka Casal!

Crash, bang, wallop what a Yinka.

and hes walked into a 750 a week deal at newcastle?

fuck me how much is tozer on then

surprisingly good on FM i have discovered...

just over a grand

Jesus - let's be honest. It's silly money. How can any lower league club compete?

fuck me.

i reckon jukebox is on 1500 at everton

double it

[url width=212 height=219]http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/onefootin.jpg[/url]

Not a bad year financially for the 'wicz.

I wish id practised alot more when I was younger......alot more  :eek:

what does the top earner at Swindon get?

DV youll be pleased to know that my brother the diver is going to be out of football for a year or som they think hes done his anterior cruciate in.

i was hoping to watch you two come to blows at next years play on the pitch!

its Coxy but hes very choosy bout who knows his business, so im not saying any amounts

Quite right too - I don't want my wages posted on the internet - what is this Liverpool FC?

I reckon 3000 a week.

With Aljofree and Paynter not far behind

Ha, wouldnt wish an injury on anyone.....but that was such a dive!!

Although his re-action did make it worth going on about it for that little bit longer.

How did he do it? trip over something? diving?

that fair enough. I just asked the amount rather than the person just to get a rough idea what a STFC top earner got....but if Coxy knows he is the top earner then he'll know its his wages if you post them I guess

Playing cricket. Slipped whilst bowling i think.

shame really he was having a good season again

he should know there is no need to dive in cricket  ::)

Look at that Elliot, Kiwi/Saffa fella took a dive and got Colly suspended and ultimately sacked from the England LOI job....shocking. They'll all be at it soon.

Talking of doing knees in cricket. Anyone remember that crack sound followed by screams of agony from Hissing Syd Lawrence as his kneecap split in two.

Bloody diver.

I had a dream last night that my kneecap split in two... it was agony

that'll be his basic - plus bonuses - double that as well

Your dreams are deteriorating rapidly!

I know. it's been ages since i last dreamt of being double-teamed by Lindsay Lohan and Abbey Clancy... shame really

he gets bonuses for playing for the ressies and for goals in the ressies, ive known Jukey to take home 5k

Nile scored on his debut for Newcastle U18s yesterday, so when he was here he scored 6 in 4, for Newcastle he has now scored 3 in 2.
From what i seen of this lad playing for the youth team here we have made a massive mistake not taking him.
And he would have chosen us ahead of Newcastle if we offered him £300 p/w instead of the £150 we did offer

fitton/malpas/bodin/whoever manages our youth team/jpc82 out!

Yeah but TBH Nile Ranger is a prize knob..end of.

so is Coxy, but if they score goals who cares

Coxy is arrogant, he doesnt go round mugging old grannies for money.

Nile Ranger doesnt mug old grannies

Thats not what I heard from a Southampton fan.

then the southampton fan is wrong, what he did was silly, but he didnt mug any old ladys

Nah, we do care and the joke that is Cox's attitude is starting to wear a little thin.

who was questioning Cox's attitude? i didnt, he has a great attitude, loves scoring goals and works his bollocks off. Cox is a big headed annoying little fucker is what i was saying.

How can you say that? You've never even met me...........

 :smack:

Yeah, I think you are half right.

He seems in top shape. Physically there is no problem. But he does seem to have a gap between his own mind and reality. I bet he didnt take any responsibility for missing 2 chances at Cheltenham last week. He was too busy dreaming of the Premier League again.

There must be a reason this squad continues to underperform. I think its a lack of focus and some players not taking responsibilty for the team failing. Fair play to Nalis and Smith this weekend holding their hands up. But you dont hear Cox doing that. Needs to become more of a team player, get his head out of the clouds.

He hasnt backed up the mouth with the goals. But then he'd have to score 50 in a season to do that.

he touched them up instead

Eh?  Scored in every pre-season appearance. 3 in 4 competitive games. But missed a couple at 'Nam so he's a over-rated bighead.

No fucking wonder the blokes already thinking about his next club.

I didnt say he was overrated. In fact, I think the transfer fee we paid for him was a bargain.

He is a big head though. No question about that. He was thinking about his next club the day he signed for us. Maybe the old Kitson/Lita/Sidwell mentality has rubbed off a bit on him. I remmember his first interview on the radio, he scored in a JPT game, then said that he would be demanding (yes demanding) that Sturrock start him on saturday.  :)

My point about Cheltenham was that instead of holding his hands up and giving an interview about that game, he chose to give an interview about wanting to play for Liverpool. Poor old Malpas gets all the flack when players like Cox are swanning around inflating their own ego's. Football is a team game, not an individuals one and he should take some responsibility.

'No fucking wonder the blokes already thinking about his next club.' Dont make me laugh, as if he gives a fuck about what I think or any Swindon fans think.

We dont have a chant for him yet. I think we should chant 'Ego, Ego, Ego!' at him when he scores as a light hearted ribbing?

Nile is on the bench for Newcastle tonight

So he is... As is Tozer.

EGO! EGO! EGO! is a great chant!!

Nile is fucking flying up there!! He scored in a few ressie games and chris hughton told kinnear to watch a youth game to show him Nile, he smashed in a hat trick and they think he will be the next big thing, we shit out big time he has 11 in 7 games i think

Rep rep rep. Safe blud.

malpas out

is he your mate aswell?

Scored a few good goals including one long Ranger

I saw that goal on the internet, it was from Niles out!

It was belted in from a lone way out...

Plays the lone striker role

Shame he never played up front with Tonton Zola Moukoko

Horrible little shit i hope he drowns in the nile and can't be helped by the ranger

i wouldnt say he was a mate, met him out and about a few times, nice enough lad

Nile now has 7 in his last 3 games

OK we didn't sign him and now he is scoring for Newcastle stiffs, we get it.

It's an irrelevance now.

I hope this doesn't rumble on like the Eastwood trial game, gone, forgotten, let it go....

I can put a pretty penny on Nile Ranger not getting very far in the Newcastle first team.

He's on good form but he's only been on the bench because of lack of squad depth and they've never brought either him or Tozer on when they have been brought in.

kinnear thinks Nile is the dogs

Yes - but he'll be gone in a month or two.

Didn't Slabber have a good scoring record at reserves level? Now plying his trade at non-league level.

Agbonlahor had a good scoring record a reserve level though, he plays in the premier league and been in the england squad

Why didn't we keep Theo Walcott  >:(

he sounds like a packet of sweets

Yeah, fucking Jolly Rangers

this is different to Walcott cos Nile was ready to sign for us ahead of Newcastle

Kinnear as i said is doing a good job, may have taken them bottom but got good results still

At Grays I think.... I remember Andy King proclaiming "this kid has scored at every level" I'll never forget I think it was Bournemouth at home where we lost 3-0???

i cant believe we ended up with him.
fuck me he was dire

 In the top 20 young English players according to an article today's Guardian.... :(

Sure that wasn't just a Grauniad typo for "muggers"?

good player, malpas doesnt reconize talent we already know that

I thought the issue was we wanted to sign him but didn't offer him enough money? So was that down to Malpas not recognising talent or budget constraints imposed on him? Did he want to sign the player but was told "OK, but you can't offer him more than x" or he wanted to sign the player but not enough to match his wage demands? ie was it in his hands? Genuine question.

he was offered less that what the youth team players on pro contracts like Lloyd and kurt, if we offered him £300p/w he would have been delighted to sign, instead he signs for newcastle on more than 4 times what we offered plus a fat signing on fee, he would have signed here ahead of the toon, he loved it here and was really good mates with Lloyd

Sooooo, if we had offered 300 quid and Newcastle offered 1200 quid, he would've stayed here, cos he's bessie mates with Lloyd?

I'm sorry, but I believe that about as much as I believe Coxy loves it at Swindon, loves the fans and wouldn't want to leave us, even if a premier/championship club comes in for in.

as everyone is aware Nile has been through some troubled times and he said Swindon felt right, and that he would have better chance of playing 1st team football aswell, but he wasnt going to have the piss taken out of him by the club offering him less that youth team players

Cheers JPC. I can buy that actually - surely even the most deluded of young players must recognise that it's often worth taking the lower pay in the short term to get first team football, show what you can do and then get a really lucrative move a couple of years down the line. ie pretty much what Walcott did. But you didn't answer my original question - was the offer wholly down to Malpas or was that all he was allowed to offer? As you implied in the original post that it was because Malpas didn't rate him, in which case why make him an offer at all?

malpas wasnt too keen, but dave was, dave was pushing to sign him the whole time, i think some1 on here spoke to dave at a ressie game and dave said how special this kid can be, as far as i know by what ive been told malpas could have offered that amount, money was there, paid on yinka and marshall

It was me and JJ who spoke to Budgie at the Salisbury friendly. And JPC is right. Budgie was practically masturbating about Ranger.................

Fair enough, that answers the question. Cheers JPC

EDIT: hertha: Yuck! No wonder he didn't sign for us then

if hes that great and wants to play first team at Swindon we should get him in on loan then!

re: not signing Ranger.

I guess you have to put it against the context of having Corr, Paynter, Cox, Sturrock and Peacock as a pool of strikers and more pressing priorities and only a limited budget to play with. With hindsight it may be the wrong call, but you can sort of see how it happened if not everyone was convinced by him at the time.

he'd have probably been shit for us!

who the fuck is lloyd and more to the point does anyone even care?

Lloyd could make this club alot of money if Malpas goes asap

Lloyd macklin sy

He's got great share tips then? Or can transmute base metal into gold?

that didn't explain to me who he is, but thank you for your opinion.

But i did, ungrateful slag

I want Kennedy to be given a chance, he could be our next Sol Davis.

Pedantic alert

what's pedantic about that?

Nile Ranger just got a call-up to the England U-19 team, I bet JCB53 is happy

I wonder if he's our loan player in waiting.

Is it definitely a striker then. I'd imagined a midfielder coming to fill OTJ's absence.

id be happier if we signed him when we had the chance, all i have said in the past is hes a quality playing and im turning out to be pretty spot on

Doubt its a midfielder Batch i think OTJ can play tomorow so i wouldnt waste a loan for 1 game

Oh right good news then, I thought he was missing for 2 or 3 starting tomorrow. Not sure why I thought that!

Plus in his little update Wilson said Craig Easton is near a return to the match day squad.

Im guessing a striker because bar the 3rd choice striker Wilsons selections are showing a bit of consistence. He's tried Razak, he's tried Blair....

I am at England U19s v Czechs... Nile Ranger has just come on at half time.

Hopefully he does 33 goals.

I hope he's playing the lone striker role, he'll be the best on the park.

Probably shouldn't start this again...

his whole family are sat just infront of the press box.

Nile has looked completely and utterly lost for the entire 45 minutes and hit the post with an open goal from about 6 yards out.

really strooood? from the reports i seen Rodwell & Ranger were picked out as the best performers

Eastick said "Nile is a year below these lot and he looked good" or words to that effect.
I almost laughed! He was rubbish, big lad though.

fair enough mate, Delfouneso look any good? met him a few times thru a mate

Well you should know whether he's good looking then. You eyeing up the England youth team now then? :)

Absolutely superb, rapid, great touch and not afraid to have a go from range.

I saw him for Villa reserves at Underhill earlier in the season and he tore them to shreds. Next year might be a massive one for him. Jack Rodwell really impressed aswell, captained the side from central midfield.

Off to Loftus Road tonight to watch Kieran Gibbs for the U20s v Italy, looking forward to seeing how Fabian Delph gets on.

It's a hard life eh Strooood ;)

I believe Delph has an ankle injury.

Leicester are preparing a £2m swoop for Swindon's star striker Simon Cox. (Daily Mirror)

I might go and watch Newcastle United reserves on Monday night (I have little else to do) and see how good this Nile Ranger chap we've gone on about all season long is.

he signed a 3 and half year deal a few weeks back, newcastle described him as 'the most promising talent at the club'

To be fair, at Newcastle that's not exactly high praise.

22 goals this season for ressies and youth team

More a comment on the quality of Newcastle than Mr Ranger himself. However, Jamie Slabber tore up the Tottenham youth team, so he's not exactly proven yet.

Probably would have been worth a contract in hindsight, but there you go.

id say it was more praise of Nile, as hes playing with shit players and still scoring goals, same as cox has done so well scoring so many goals in a shit team

How is tozer doing these days?

last i heard a few months ago he was really struggling

He'll fit right in.

yeah ok we get it, newcastle are shite, we all know

Why the fuck is this thread still going?

Hi Ho Silver away ......

Where do get your info coz you do talk some sh#t.Tozer has been out injured for the last 2 months and made his comeback last week against Man U in the ressies,spoke to a scout who was at the game and he did very well.

Here we go again.............

perhaps he was really struggling with an injury ????

To be fair, he did say he hadn't heard for a few months.

get in there Devon Nige - fuck these namby pamby TCP loving queer fairy tarts

Haha you tell em ron. Jcb has not been on the ball lately

Thanks mate,but that JPC82 gets on my tits,he knows this kid,that kid,Macklin this,Kennedy that,why dont he/she wait until its fact then give an opinion.If his/her soyrces were that good they would have told him/her that Tozer was out and that prior to his injury he was on the first teams bench,not bad for someone struggling.

ermmmm does anyone on here actually wait till something is a fact before giving an opinion?????

Probably not. Never mind

Wasn't Sam Tozer faked? I thought he was staged / CGI. Some of his shadows aren't right.

DRS how are you havent spoken for a while?

Im good nige good to see you moved away from the other forum.

Away from the Dark Side that is The Adver?

Still go back every now and then to give them a bit of stick,but the sight is still full of pri##s.

Its OK you can call them pricks :)

In my opinion, no!

Quite!!! thats why we love it! 

how else would Fatters make far flung crazy transfer rumors!

we prefer to call them cunts though

OK get the message you can swear on this site.

Bollocks can you! Toni's mum will fucking kill you.

i did sat the last the last i heard was a few months ago (before any injury) and was told he had been struggling for a while, so im talking roughly about 4months ago which was what i was told. On the bench but never used as hes no where near ready, hes just making up the numbers on the bench, cant see him staying up there for long. i can see him being loaned out the start of next season and be sold next season aswell

The plight of Tozer sounds a lot like the plight of the other star prodigy defender we sold to Spurs....Leigh Mills.

I have to admit I was never much of a fan of Tozers, and am still shocked that Newcastle paid good money for him.

Morrison looks a much better prospect IMO.

Agree JJ with that. Hopefully we get to see a season of Morrison and Greer next season.

Isn't lee mills the current rock at the heart of doncasters defence? Keeping out a certain Mr Greer in the process?

No, Leigh Mills is a free agent having been released by Spurs after a loan spell at the Gills.

That's Matthew Mills, no relation to Leigh.

Haha o deer

If recent reports are true then Newcastle will be taken over soon. I cant see Ranger playing for them and doubt they would loan to another championship team so lets try and get him on loan.

Depends how many strikers they'll have left though DRS. Owen's gone, Viduka's gone, Martins has 4 clubs looking at him so he'll be gone later.

That leaves Xisco and Ameobi plus the reserves. If he's been playing well in the reserves they may want to keep him there for a bit.

The loan window is open for longer isn't it? Or have I remembered my rubbish football rules wrong?

I'm pretty sure you're right

To add to the boredom, he has just scored for NUFC in the preseason match v Shamrock Rovers

He's in the squad for the England Under-19s' European Championship campaign later this month.

Starting up front for Newcastle tonight. If anyone's still bothered

He started in their game against Huddersfield in midweek too. I thought about going tonight, but couldn't be bothered.

lump on Nile for 1st goal

The whether is horrific up here at the moment. Eurgh.

Also, on the bench for Newcastle tonight is a certain Ben Tozer.

It's grim up north? Who'd have thought.

Interesting to see how many Toon have for this one. They had 44,000 against Sheff Wed on a tuesday night.

Ranger's having a stormer!

About 40k. Factor in the awful weather and the fact the game is on the box its a good showing.

He will be a top Premiership striker in 2 or 3 years.

Fr those of us without Sky Sports, is that sarcastic or not?

No, he's actually playing really well. Set up the goal, and has been at the centre of most of Newcastles attacks. I've never seem him play before, but he looks like he could be a good prospect!

He derserves to be a star with a name like that.

Byrne always rated him so nice to know our development manager (or whatever his title is) can spot a young player.

no, for an 18 year old, he is playing very well, only critisism i have is he needs to be a bit greedy at times, hes had chances to shoot from the edge of the box but instead decides to lay it off.
Apart from that, he looks a great potential, pace, strength, a very good understanding of the game

He's just gone off to a standing ovation.

The new hero of the Gallowgate End.

Is Nicky Butt injured ? Not even on the bench.

and to think if we offered him an extra £80p/w he would be here still

I hate that I read this thread every time his name comes up.  :whogives:

Butt's off to Burnley tomorrow I think you will find!

Clearly there are a few who do...
