Adver exclusively reveals, Fuck off I called it about half hour ago! ! :D

Fucking delighted with this.

FABULOUS

What's going on!

better than rose, at least.

Please please dont play him left wing and Rose at left back please

If it means Rose gets dropped, I'm fucking ecstatic

Mental.

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/8362860.TRANSFER_DEADLINE_DAY_NEWS__Sheehan_to_sign/

Double mental.

Happy with that.

I could've sworn he was older than 23 though, seems to have been around for ages.

When we first signed Sheehan last season we played him left wing with LJF at left back. I hope the plan isnt to play Sheehan on the wing and continue with Rose at left back.

Although Sheehan would offer alot more defensively than AOB to help Rose out.

Rose would still be playing...

SHEEHAN, SHEEHAN, SHEEHAN!!!!

So, does this mean that the end of the world is not upon us yet?

Welcome back Alan! Just hope this is true.

Surprised there's talk of a only a 1yr deal.

Could be a case of poor old Callum Kennedy though.

Out of the blue or what? Three left backs (Rose, Sheehan, Kennedy) and lescinel jean-francois who's played on the left on the books now! Feeling like we're a bit left-heavy!

Perhaps Wilson is eyeing up Sheehan to fill in at left midfield? Maybe Kennedy might have a loan move sorted? Who knows?

Until a 30 year old experienced centre back joins... the end is nigh.

Oh, come on, be realistic

27-33 will do.

Other than that, the end is nigh

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

You crack me up.

you bore me.

I never thought I'd be so happy to sign Sheehan. He was never my favourite player, but having seen the alternatives, I'd welcome him with open arms. I'd like to see him left back with AOB on the wing. AOB doesn't deserve to lose his place.

Thought he was very useful TBH :) Welcome back Sheehan!!!

Quality if it comes off.

Go on Dave, crack a smile.

I'll crack a smile when you reach 6ft :)

Hehe, my thoughts exactly.

Very happy with that.

Welcome back, Alan.

Me too. I'm not impressed with Rose at all.

Wasn't overly keen on him last season but Rose's performances so far make Sheehan look like Maldini so ;D

Good news. I also hope we drop Rose. Morrison and Cuthbert are both good centre backs so as long as they stay injury free I'm not worried about that. We do lack cover tho.

But doesn't three senior players within the same focused position a bit silly on the budget front?

Wondered what had happened to him.

Sounds like quite a bitter contract wrangle with Leeds.

Welcome back. Interesting they are talking a 1 year deal.

I'm wearing 6inch heels.

Smile away.

quality signing. welcome back.

:D

GET IN THERE...!!!!

 :D

I agree with Dan, we still need a centre-back before this weekend's game at Carlisle...

i think we all realise that Sonic. just don't go on about it like Dan

I thought Sheehan was fucking rubbish for us..... until I saw Rose play. Good signing if it comes off.

sorry. I'll go back to banging on about Norway

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Me too. Can't believe that I'm over the moon at him coming back, but Rose really has been that bad so far.

Excellent news.

Sheehan was quallity last season, chuffed with this

I wasn't too fussed about Sheehan but after our dreadful defensive start, this is a bonus!

Sheehan was pretty crap after he came back from injury last season. If we get the pre injury Sheehan then its good news. If we get the post injury Sheehan then it would be bad news if Rose wasn't so totally shite. A bit of a meh from me.

Post injury- just think it was more of the fact it was in limbo at which club he'll be at come the end of the season. Never remember him being 'crap'

Defensively he's crap. Going forward he isn't.

5-4! We're gonna win 5-4...

Probably change that to "4-4, we're going draw 4-4" :)

Disagree.

Brilliant signing...just got in and i am chuffed with this.
His balls into the box like Charlies goal v Charlton have been missed....gets forward well and for me just has a quality about him....still think Rose will blossom(sorry)though at some point...he was excelent at Norwich last season.

He really wasnt.

Agreed.

All the Norwich fans i've spoken to were not in the same view. Totally glad to not sign him permanently tbf!

Well i would rather go on what the Norwich fans thought of him Dave...they rated him and obviously Lambert did....and they went up with a fairly large input from him in a team that pissed the LGE.....no offence meant.
Processed....how many Norwich fans you talked to...26000..
He is a good player just struggling to settle in an unsettled team.

If they rated him that much why didnt they buy him?

I thought he was only there 3 months or so anyway?

Agreed Leefer. He is not as shit as everyone is making out. He has confidence on the ball which is good. Just makes silly mistakes. Hopefully competition from Sheehan will step his game up.

If he does join and if he does sign a one year deal then I hope we will protect ourselves within the contract.

I don't want this guy coming in, playing well enough within 35-40 games to attract interest and buggering off to Bristol City on a free next summer!

Sheehan played a massive part last season and i thought he was just as good defensive wise as he was getting forward. Knows our style of play and what is expected of him so makes sense good to see Wilson has obviously noticed what alot of others have.  

Anyway all about opinions and i am delighted we are getting Sheehan.

Lets just hope Wilson plays him..

I too thought he had a rough patch of form after he came back from injury. But is a decent all round full back.

Not 26,000 no, but around 10. And they were all in agreement that he was poor. I bet you could even find something on the Pinkun forum about him.

http://www.pinkun.com/cs_pinkun/cs/forums/2009803/ShowPost.aspx

He played 12 times Beats...if he was crap he wouldnt have played......some of our players are getting shit on the forums?....dont mean that every Town fan thinks they are shit does it.

Well he was brought in as an emergency loan, they didn't have any other option but to play him.

I think the consensus was that he got caught out of position a lot but was decent going forward. Judging the decent deliveries he kept pumping into the box when Norwich played us at ours he's definitely got some skill there.

With Sheehan/Rose/Kennedy/Caddis/O'Brien/Ball we have a lot of options for the left side now. Competition will drive the best out of our players.

Correct i think. He was definitely brought in to deuptise whilst Drury was injured and, as you say looked half decent against us. Hasn't looked half of that player for us though, sadly.

sheehan is a decent player,but how many left backs do we need?

Oh come on leefer, stop talking rubbhish.

For starts my last post was based on what Norwich fans have said. They didnt rate him, were over the moon they didnt sign him. They thought he was a liability who had one decent game (against us) and that was it.  They were all calling for Adam Durey to be back in the team.

Norwich fans didnt rate him and Lambert clearly didnt because he cast him aside pretty damn quickly and didnt sign him.

He played a whole 12 games for Norwich - a team that was already well on their way to being crowned champions, so he hardly played a huge part. On the flip side he played double that amount for relegated Stockport.

How many Norwich fans have you spoken to, 0

Have a read of this thread and see what the Norwich and Stockport fans actually say

One of the curious aspects of DW's recent transfer policy is that he seems to be duplicating positions, where we appear reasonably well sorted, and neglecting others where we appear short.

Oh well, I'm sure he knows what he's doing...

One decent one would be nice.

Anyone who thinks we are sorted at left back (before Sheehan's arrival) is stark raving mad.

Dave...i could pull out dozens of posts from Town fans about our players on forums...plenty who think Obrien is shit..plenty who think Pericard is shit,plenty who think all our players are shit.....dont try and convince me a player is shit by pulling out a few quotes from the thick fukin numbskulls from Norfolk!!
If you think Rose is Shite.....good on you,i just happen to think he will be an ok player.

if you are refering to me, i dont think we are sorted there.we have loads of players who play there though.

No I wasn't referring to you.

Rubbish to all this transfer stoooooof, im off to southampton :)

Plan B. Play all of them. That should solve our left sided defensive frailty.

So, in the first post you say 'Well i would rather go on what the Norwich fans thought of him Dave'

Then, when I produce quotes from Stockport and Norwich fans you say 'dont try and convince me a player is shit by pulling out a few quotes from the thick fukin numbskulls from Norfolk!!'

Make up your mind?

I base my opinion on Rose at Swindon from what I have seen, not good!

I base my opinion on his time at Norwich from what Norwich fans think. You seem to be basing his time at Norwich and his ability on absolutely nothing.

I am very glad to see Sheehan return, Rose was by far the least convincing of our summer signings for me. Although, saying that I may be blinded by my Caddis-tinted spectacles.

Is it official yet? Or are we just going by what the adver says?

Not official, but as he's been released by Leeds and is a free agent, we're not facing the 6PM cut off, I'd have thought.

Is that confirmed?

Palace in last 5 minute offer

So we're just assuming here cos the adver say so...

Well, he's definately left the lids

danny ward in cg car park

Sheehan has signed - just got official text!

If he's left Leeds then the transfer window is an irrelephant.

Edit: looks like we got him anyway. Good news.

fantastic news, we have certainly missed the guy, all we need now is a centre back of decent quality and we might be back on track

Now confirmed on OS.

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2140341,00.html

Get in!

I feel sorry for Rose, hes had a bad start.

With Sheehan he might never get a chance to recover.

I agree that it's a shame he hasn't got going yet, but we've now played 5 games without a win, and Rose has been a weak link. Something had to be done and I think Danny's made the right move. Presumably Rose will play tonight, so still has another chance to prove his worth.

Has he ever had a spell on the wing? Might be an option as his delivery is far better than AOB's...

Rose has looked very reluctant to go forward. Hes looked very nervous in every game Ive watched him.

I think hes a much better player than weve seen of him, but Im suprised at his lack of bottle.

Sheehan will not be match fit, so probably a few more games for Rose.

Well pleased with this. Best LB we've had in at least a decade, and I'd put him behind only Trollope and Bodin since i've been watching ( unless I've forgotten someone really obvious)

Jamie Vincent

As I said, 3rd best.

Phil King, also Buzzer played left back for long enough to qualify if I remember correctly.

The only negative side to this signing for me is that i'd have liked Kennedy to have a chance. Would be great to see a product of our youth system make it.

David Duke?  ;)  :D

Pleased with this. It now means we don't need any more left sided players at all. Sheehan is a better defender than Rose and i'd imagine that now means Rose will play back up for both Sheehan and AOB is needed. At least Wilson has acted on one of our main weak points. Now for a CB. Obviously it will now have to be a loan but to be quite honest our two CBs have been alright in the last 2 games and bar a mistake at Hartlepool LJF has been pretty good at CB as well. It just misses that leadership.

Sheehan? He played his first game or so at left-mid didn't he?

I think he did at Wrexham on his debut

Was Chris Ramsey a left back? I always rated him pretty highly, bit of an animal if I remember correctly.

He was a RB, loved him, he rivalled Shaun Taylor for sheer hardness.

Yep Kingy was decent, had slipped my mind. Summerbee played either right wingback or right midfield.

Yeah, i was on about Rose, seeing as defending doesnt appear to be his forte...

Rambo is still one of my all time favourite players and the most solid right back I have seen for us, no one passed him without fear of having their legs taken away and being put into touch along with the ball.

Now head of player development at Spurs I think.

edit

yeah, here he is.

I was only thinking the other day, "Hmmm...we need a left back and Sheenan needs a club, pity we bolloxed it up by signing Rose"...but they signed him any way - Fair play 8)

Glad we resigned Sheehan.

Glad the Gow deal fell through- why should we want a Plymouth reject with a poor goalscoring record.

Badly need a CB, striker now if we are to turn our season around.

Is this Bart being ever so slightly 'happy'? No fuckinggggg way! Congrats, Bart :D

Good signing. I like Sheehan, even though he seemed a scapegoat at times with some of our fans last season (what is it about left backs being scapegoats??)

This brightened up my day no end. I wonder if Danny is considering playing Rose left mid with Sheehan at full back?

Fucking Hell JJ


Big Kenny !!!!!

Always the first to a scrap anywhere on the pitch if I remember!

you remember right

I can remember having a long chat with him on the Legends night and I would not even contemplate messing with the bloke (even now)

I did like Kenny Allen...knew how to enjoy himself. :)

He liked his beer and fags/cigars ................. still does

What happened with that Gow bloke, thought it was a done deal before I left for work yesterday?

Don't worry it appears he was a greedy bastard
