Im confused?

[unclemark]

Me too.  What happened to your avatar?  The old one of the man was so much better!

[Reg Smeeton]

Well its a classic King giving something  the big build up...only to be followed by the big let down. Don't know why he does this.

[Dazzza]

Looks like he is under some sort of one month contract to Swansea although how that works I do not know as Bangor city want 70k for him.

Described on the Bangor site as...

Owain Jones. A tall commanding midfielder, Owain Jones made his first team debut for Bangor as a 16 year old.  His all action displays and goalscoring talents have attracted the attention of Premier League scouts. Bangor born Owain is a member of the Welsh U21 squad. A Welsh Under 19 International he has also represented his country at semi-pro level. In 2005, Owain toured Japan as one of only two Welsh players with the prestigious Middlesex Wanderers Club.  Dob: 15-10-1984.

 
Nicknamed lofty.

So there's our international and non-league inspiration rolled into one package.   To be fair reading a couple of forums he's been damn good for Bangor although what level that equates to in the league system is anyones guess.  Couple of Uni mates played in the Welsh top flight while studying and to be fair while they where different class to the rest of us they where realistic enough to admit they wouldn't get a sniff at a league club.

Looks like Swansea have him the bag anyway.  

There's always Gary Jones to look forward to.   :|

[Reg Smeeton]

Gary Jones is going to Macclesfield.....

Gary Jones is going to Macclesfield.....

Confirmed or prediction Reg?

I wasn't that impressed with the vibes coming from the Tranmere fans anyway to be honest.

They all wished him the best of luck and all but said he had the pace and aial threat of a pseudotriton montanus.  

I suppose the prospect of the board releasing a fee albeit under the 70k Bangor where after is a little encouraging.

[Reg Smeeton]

The board could of course be covering their backs to an extent that now if we have a poor start King can't moan that he wasn't allowed to sign players.

 What's a pseudotriton montanus?

 BTW its King on the official site talking of Jones to Macc.

To be fair to King he is under a lot of pressure to produce 'news' for the local press.I suspect he'd rather say nothing but speculation sells papers and increases interest in the club.

 I can't imagine the hack for the local paper produces too much pressure, having witnessed his shandy drinking in my local last night.

 Surely though all it does is create the impression of an outfit drifting aimlessly when we can't outbid a club like Macc....who really are a small club.

The next one will be the answer to his search for "an experienced hard man at the back and in midfield"  -  :shock: GURNEY

But perhaps the lads from Macc have been running their club properly for the last few years which means that although they are a 'smaller' club than us, when we are bidding for players like Gary Jones we are on a par.

I'm not exactly Kingy's biggest fan but I do think he has done pretty well this summer. I just wonder if he put all his eggs in one basket by going to Thorpe AND Cureton as opposed to one or the other plus Smith.  Not that I will be moaning if they get 40 goals between them, it's just that we're not that short up front are we?

ONE of those in addition to Fallon, Roberts and Caton plus Smith running the midfield would have perhaps been a better option don't you think?

[DiV]

too much talk and not enough signings

Why cant Kingy shut his mouth, then let us know WHEN he has signed someone (ala Nicolau)

I'm fed up of all this talk about players left right and centre that we DONT sign

[DMR]

if he's a welsh international then why the fuck is he non league?

[Dazzza]

if he's a welsh international then why the fuck is he non league?

U19, U21 and amateurs!  

[J.D]

Because hes only a welsh uder 21 international.
And he won't be playing non-league for much longer.
