Title: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: girlposse on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 20:15:51 Heard a rumour today from a very reliable source that Lee Trundle from Bristol City is coming to us on Monday. It will be a loan spell. I know we need a striker but there is lots out there better than him

If you ask city fans they would actually tell you he worked hard for them just not what johnson wants. As i said he has scored at this level and his goals return for city is not awful.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Nemo on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 20:51:44 I think he'll do alright, although it must be said that we're now going to be unbelievably slow at the front and the back. Although stupidly quick on the wings. Good balance that.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 20:52:29 aint no spring chicken, but we can't really go wrong with loaning him,can we?
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: jonny72 on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 20:53:15 Sorry. PLEASE see other thread! What other thread? Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 20:54:28 If he did come here got his head down and stopped being a big headed showboating cunt then he would probably win my respect.
Although he and Paynter could do a comedy 'to me, to you' Chuckle Brothers thing to keep us amused. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:00:38 Rush and Aldridge 2009 re-mix.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: RobertT on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:09:29 He'd be a pretty good signing for this level
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:17:22 I thought it was madness when they paid all that money for him (at his age).
Shows what an expensive business it is in the league above (and by that I mean rip off). Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: juddie on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:21:02 I'd be chuffed with that.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:35:35 i'm coming round to the idea. i think he could be a spark that our team needs, unfortunately that spark may be as inconsistent as someone like macca.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Danjackson10 on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:42:05 god knows if this is good or not
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Batch on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:44:37 Fitness is they key. Clearly had 'it' at Swansea. Got to be worth a punt as a loan
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Talk Talk on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:44:46 god knows if this is good or not He doesn't exist mate. That's God, not Trundle. Well actually I'm not sure now... Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Nemo on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:45:29 That would be the highlight of our ill fated striker pursuit so far if Trundle turned out not to exist.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: carbonwhite on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:46:09 we will have to see monday if this is true or not. i cant see us taking on someone who is supposed to be unfit and lazy. surely he wudnt pass a fitness test. did he play any part in shittys pre-season? i can see how this could work because we need someone creative in our team.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: jonny72 on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 21:49:00 I don't see how we can lose by taking him on loan until Christmas, especially as Bristol City will cover a good chunk of his wages. Worst case is we lose a few quid, best case is we get a decent striker for a few seasons.
He's exactly the kind of player we could do with upfront, plenty of experience which will help the younger players. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: glos_robin on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:00:51 Does anyone know exactly how close to match fitness he is. I know he turned up to city for pre-season and was unfit and overweight but did he actually take part in their pre-season.
If he's fit then I think he could be handy but my fear is that he'll come in a couple of stone overweight and we'll have to give him a mini pre season before he is even of any use to us. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: yeo on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:13:21 Hes always been a bit over weight hasn't he?
Hes a player that ive found mildly annoying in the past but I dont hate him or anything,i'll give a him chance. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Dazzza on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:15:26 Supposedly on 10k a week at the moment so I hope Brizzle cover a good percentage of that.
Worth a punt if he’s fit mind although he’s apparently piled on more than a few pounds over the summer. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Dazzza on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:17:26 Does anyone know exactly how close to match fitness he is.

If he's fit then I think he could be handy but my fear is that he'll come in a couple of stone overweight and we'll have to give him a mini pre season before he is even of any use to us. That's what I heard. He was always a bit portly but I'd heard that he had amassed the figure of a couple of stone over the summer although that could be bollocks. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Dazzza on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:18:01 that could be bollocks.

He was always a bit portly but I'd heard that he had amassed the figure of a couple of stone over the summer although that could be bollocks. Isn't it the reason Johnson has given for wanting rid of Trundle though so can only assume he is at least a bit overweight Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: alanmayes on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:27:40 Trundle didn't play in any pre-season games,so apart from the fitness aspect,there's the lack of
match sharpness to consider as well. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Dazzza on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:28:27 Johnson apparently stuck him in his own "fat club" preseason where any players who came back out of condition had to do extra training.
With any luck he'll be half way to full fitness. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:45:33 Wilson is panicking...gone before the end of the month.

Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, August 9, 2009, 22:56:44 To be fair, if you lose 5-0 in the middle of the season it usually takes a month to recover.
I dont know what happens when you lose 5-0 on the opening day, because Ive never seen it happen before.

Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Nemo on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:17:56 Adver reckon that Wilson would be looking to do a permanent deal rather than a loan...not so sure about that. Could be a very good player no doubt, but could also turn out to be a huge elephant in the room if he turns up weighing 20 stone on a 2 year deal.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:21:33 Hopefully he'll be more Tommy Mooney than Lee Peacock then.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: DiV on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:22:14 shit, fat, lazy, over rated, past it, scouse.
not impressed. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Riddick on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:22:23 On one of the League one forums there are a lot of Southampton fans who reckon they are after him as well. May be one target i don't mind missing out on.
Last week we needed strikers, now it looks like we need everything. Lets not panic though and see what happens at MK tomo. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: STFC_Gazza on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:31:05 I dont know for some reason I am warming to signing Lee Trundle. Perhaps out of desperation or perhaps he may have something to prove. I still think signing on a long term loan witha view to a permanent deal would be the best way of dealing with this though.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: herthab on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:33:09 shit, fat, lazy, over rated, past it, scouse. not impressed. A lot of city fans rate him, despite him not getting a look in. Swansea fans thought he was God. At 32 he's definitely in the twilight of his career, but he could still do a job in League 1. And you're not impressed by anything, you morose bastard. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: tans on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:34:04 Hes not that bad a player, we could end up with worse.

At 32 he's definitely in the twilight of his career, but he could still do a job in League 1. And you're not impressed by anything, you morose bastard. Ask the Leeds fans how he got on for them last season. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:36:33 I don't think he was over rated, just an annoying player. He's got an excellent record at this level but for some reason it didn't work out with the shitheads.
I'm surprised more teams weren't queueing for his signature, a £1m at the time wasn't a lot of money. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: tans on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:37:15 Ask the Leeds fans how he got on for them last season. Leeds fans think Beckford is shit too remember. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: JTomlinson on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:43:08 Can't complain about this track record at this level and as a loan signing I guess what have we to lose?
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Nemo on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:52:44 I agree with the sentiments about a loan signing being the safest option, which is why I'm a little worried by Wilson comments in the adver today that he'd like to get him on a permanent deal but he'd probably need to be offered two years. Hopefully i'm wrong as he turns about to be a Dean Windass ageing wise.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: tans on Monday, August 10, 2009, 08:55:15 Perhaps we can pinch Danny Welbeck on a loan.
Jimmy Davis stylee!

I agree on both counts, a bit meh but also a bit...mmm maybe he might do well occassionally, gotta be better than what we had on trial I guess....jury is out until he does sign and plays a bit. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, August 10, 2009, 09:05:41 Could be a good signing. He's got that cheeky character about him.

"He's bald, he's Scouse, he's gonna rob your house... Steve McMahon, Steve McMahon!". One of my favourite Swindon songs ever! Just think of the amusing songs we could make up with fatboy lee up front!

Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: luckyluke699 on Monday, August 10, 2009, 11:03:46 Yeah I know, legendary huh? Imagine the entire town end doing that crazy/stupid dance every time he scores haha!! We'd be on socceram too for sure! ;)
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: DiV on Monday, August 10, 2009, 11:05:24 ....probably only the once though, if we're lucky
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 10, 2009, 11:23:04 I hope he signs. He has attitude and confidence. Abit like Christian Roberts when he was at his best.

Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Summerof69 on Monday, August 10, 2009, 14:38:11 Isn't Trundle still shacked up with Liz McClarnon, formerly of Atomic Kitten ?
If so, we could have our own official WAG. I wouldn't be surprised that we won't officially sign Trundle for a couple of days, as City won't want him cup tied for tomorrow, so the earliest he would be able to play is Saturday. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 10, 2009, 14:38:42 According to JFW, no.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, August 10, 2009, 14:41:47 No hes not - so not even a Z list WAG to bring
And as per Juddie - when is this happening then?? Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: pewshamrobin on Monday, August 10, 2009, 14:49:47 So where is the pacey young forward - out of Paynter, Peacock & possibly fatboy Trundle.
A strikeforce from those 3 hardly likely to strike fear into any team in this league! Trundle maybe a good link player on his day, but how long will it take to get him match fit & where is the pace upfront for our wingers to hit ? I suppose patience until end of August is called for but the whole 3 months to a get 2 strikers in is a fiasco which could derail our season. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Summerof69 on Monday, August 10, 2009, 14:52:23 No hes not - so not even a Z list WAG to bring I bow to you knowledge of all things WAG related !!!

Wingers should hit crosses to players in the middle not aim for strikers with pace. With 2 big men in the middle our wingers should have more to aim at. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spud on Monday, August 10, 2009, 16:47:19 I can't understand why people are moaning that we may actaully sign a striker!?
Regardless of recent form, Trundle will score goals in this league. Our creativity for him to score is another issue altogether. I'd sooner have Trundle up front rather than an in-efffective McNamee playing behind Paynter. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: michael on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:00:21 I have carried out some research on this potential transfer today.
Of all the Swindon fans I have spoken to about half said they don't want him here. Of all the non-Swindon fans I have spoken to, every single one said it would be a cracking signing. I myself feel he has the stature and ability to do what yer man Mooney did here.

Will the likes of Billy Sharpe come to us .................. NO Is Trundle better than the current options we have ...................... YES In that case, get on and do the deal Is he better than the options we currently have Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: DiV on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:15:28 of course he is better than the options we have because we released all our fucking strikers.
is he better than the options we had last season (excluding Cox)....i dunno. that reserve game I watched still stands out, he really was awful that game. Perhaps he'll take the 'real' fixtures a bit more seriously! Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:18:07 People say get him on a loan as it is less risk. Playing the loanee merry go round is hardly going to get him motivated?
He could come here, go straight into the team and get games straight away. Re sign Barry Corr. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:21:55 I think there is the worry he will turn out like Thorpe. He could be a revelation by all accounts and this seasons Tommy Mooney, but I hope he's worked hard to get the pies off him.
I can't really comment until I see him play in a Town shirt and nobody else can. It's one of those gambles that may or may not come off. If he is on £10k a week at shitty and it's a straight transfer on a two year deal I think Wilson may be mad. Personally I think this is the loan move with a view to permanent deal that Fitton was talking about. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:47:15 Will all these people moaning about Trundle being a City player/Scouse/Fat still dislike him if he comes here and bangs 15-20 goals in?

No. He would be the new hero. Get him here now.

Will you still be so chuffed with the signing when the fat cunt can't finish a half and doesn't score in this first 15 games? No. You'd fucking hate him. Leave him where it is.

No. Works both ways Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: flammableBen on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:50:15 Haha I beat you too it.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 10, 2009, 17:51:08 But he is a city player, scouse and he is fat. That's three good reasons to hate the bloke before he even puts on a town shirt :)

Corr - how much i wanted him to do well, the only thing he was consistant at was being injured Sturrock - yes, he runs around alot but his goal scoring record was poor at best at this level Razak - never really had a chance but from what i've heard bit of a loose canon i'd take trundle above those?

Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Luci on Monday, August 10, 2009, 18:27:27 I wasn't sure about Trundle, mainly from a fitness perspective seeing as hes been branded as slow and lazy on many an occasion.
In hindsight, it could potentially be a good move, however I'd rather it was a loan with view of a perm move than anything else. With Paynter and Trundle though, we need pace so that doesn't rule out opportunities for Macklin either (unless DW signs a pacy striker). I have a horrible feeling however that we may lose out again, not to Rovers as I don't think City or Johnson would be that stupid, however wouldn't suprise me if someone else came in late for him. On another note, WBA have enough strikers - even a short term loan until we bridge the gap shouldn't be dismissed. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: RobertT on Monday, August 10, 2009, 18:29:47 I didn't realise until just checking that Corr has yet to play a full season yet, at the age of 24, having only started in about 30 odd games in his career. Now he's managed to earn himself a little rest for a game or two.

I know its taking the piss a bit given our previous financial problems, but they really need to do more to tighten up on club finances. Southampton is a good example of how a club can still get a massive advantage financially with a relatively minor points penalty.... Southampton owed £25m on their ground, but the new owners were able to settle that for about £8m. So they now have a nice new stadium for a fraction of the price it cost to build and which it would cost a financially sound club. They need to put more controls in place to stop the problems occurring in the first place. Then they need more draconian punishments if a club goes in to administration, automatic relegation would be a good start. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Dazzza on Monday, August 10, 2009, 20:43:03 I've read 10k a few times for the trundler and I'd imagine it can't be far off that whack given the fee he was transfered for. Perhaps 6-8 is more realistic with performance bonuses?
That said City want him off the books with a 2 year contract remaining and without any Championship clubs sniffing at his crack they're going to have to subsidise his wages or pay him off if he's going to drop into League one. I suppose that's why they're keen to get him out on loan first and see if he can raise his stock a little and attract some interest. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Nemo on Monday, August 10, 2009, 21:32:33 From Sky Sports Website
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_5484028,00.html (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_5484028,00.html) Quote Bristol City striker Lee Trundle has revealed that no offers have come his way as yet this summer, and has admitted he would prefer to stay in the Championship if possible. The former Swansea star is deemed surplus to requirements at Bristol City and has been told he can leave the club should a suitable offer come his way. Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson revealed at the weekend that he would like to bring the 32-year-old to the County Ground and Trundle has told skysports.com that he will not rule out a switch to the Robins until he has weighed up all his options. "I would like to stay in the Championship and continue to play at that level, but you can only judge moves on what is presented to you and nothing has been put in front of me yet, so I can't rule anything out until I speak to people," he said. Heard nothing "I've not heard anything yet and the same goes for my agent, so at the moment they are just links in the paper and nothing concrete. We'll just sit and wait to see what comes around." The Liverpool-born striker has been knocked down the pecking order after Danny Haynes and David Clarkson added to the competition for places up front over the summer, so Trundle is now focused on earning a move away from Ashton Gate. "All footballers want to be playing football and when you aren't involved it isn't a nice feeling," he added. "I want to be out there on the pitch playing in front of fans, so ideally I'd like to get something sorted out sooner rather than later, but we'll just have to see what happens really. "All I can do is keep my head down in training and keep working hard to get myself fit and ready for if and when something comes up, because I need to be ready to be thrust into the action as soon as possible when given the chance." tl;dr version: Wants to stay in the Championship if possible but above else wants first team football. Has not had any offers yet though. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: carbonwhite on Monday, August 10, 2009, 21:38:04 i heard he said that he wants to go back to swansea
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 08:42:17 I did wonder if this player rumour was a smokescreen conspiracy to throw the press and other teams off the scent of our true targets. Considering we've missed out on many of our targets then why would Wilson suddenly announce his interest like that?
Maybe to get the fans talking about a name and not the fact we still haven't brought anyone in. That's a proper mind game! Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 10:59:19 I've never seen anyone in Football act with that level of intelligent thought, so as much as i like the idea, I think it's a case of what you see, is what you get.

Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, August 20, 2009, 21:46:18 Bristol City: He turned up too fat for the preseason training and didn't play in any friendlies we will get that in the press and tell the world that we want to lower the wage bill as well. He is too shit for the first team. Swindon Town: We'll offer an appropriate fee for a Div 1 player plus Div 1 wages. Bristol City: He's worth more than that, we think very highly of him. He's a Championship player. Swindon Town: Had any other offers? Bristol City: Nah, but he would be a great acquisition. Swindon Town: We have made an offer, take it or leave it. Bristol City: The offer is not acceptable, he is a great player. Swindon Town: See ya. Surely Fitton would have offered to meet them half way with a big sell on clause? That's his special move.

What are you on about? Gary Johnson hasn't done anything wrong, ever. It's all part of his masterplan... We're going to get desperate and pay the silly money they want for him, maybe more (and we'll be grateful for the honour of doing business with them!) :) Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Power to people on Friday, August 21, 2009, 07:35:09 Wilson has said it is unlikely Trundle will be coming as we will not be increasing our offer for him
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, August 21, 2009, 07:37:17 ...and Wilson is correct.
I reckon they want something like £300,000 for him which would be ridiculous. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Power to people on Monday, August 24, 2009, 14:31:56 I see that Wilson has now gone public on this (see O/S), you would have thought that as City are stuck with having the pay the wages of the loan striker they got that got injured after 5 mins of his debut, they would be keen to get Trundle off the wage bill - even if they still have to pay part of his wages - as it would release funds to sign another striker that they want, surely they can come to an agreement to suit both clubs.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, August 24, 2009, 14:37:59 He will be here sooner or later.... and alot fucking thinner i hope!

Wasn't this stated on Sky Sports last week what DW was saying? Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: jonny72 on Monday, August 24, 2009, 15:59:26 Come the end of the month, if we haven't signed a striker and Trundle hasn't found a new club, I reckon all parties will be desperate to do a deal and they will sort something out. I'm sure the only sticking point at the moment preventing a transfer is Trundle's two year contract on big bucks otherwise he'd be here by now.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:22:19 I think it's abut time we let this one go.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:29:29 If he wanted to sign for us he would have signed by now.
Hes waiting to see if bigger better clubs offering more wages come in for him, if they don't then he may well sign for us. Hes obviously not eager to sign for us so fuck him. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:37:05 It's a direct contrast of Simon Cox really. He came here young with a certain confidence (cockiness) about him, wanted regular first team football but knew he was too talented for league one and would eventually leave.
Trundle is a player nearing the end of his career with a certain confidence (cockiness) about him, thinks he's too talented for league one and is clinging on for championship salary. His attitude isn't right for Wilson's team. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Batch on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:39:34 If he wanted to sign for us he would have signed by now. But you can't sign someone if their club won't accept the offer you make. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: jonny72 on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:44:47 The thing with Trundle's salary is that he currently has a two year contract on £10k a week (or something like that) - he's not going to walk away from that and come to Swindon on say £5k a week, no one is that stupid. The issue appears to be getting what we will pay him a week plus what they will pay to offload him equal £10k a week.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:47:18 They've said this before. So basically they have just trundled out an old story as per usual.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:47:44 But you can't sign someone if their club won't accept the offer you make. Thats very true but I just feel that if he was eager then a deal could have been struck before now. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, August 24, 2009, 16:58:51 I'm with JJ.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, August 24, 2009, 17:17:03 I can't believe we're still trying to sign him tbh.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, August 24, 2009, 17:19:44 I can't believe we're still trying to sign him tbh. Because to quote Danny Wilson from the Adver Quote “You can see that we’re desperate for the boys up front and people need a break,” Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 24, 2009, 18:05:04 I think we should sign Trundle and then play him on the wing.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 24, 2009, 18:08:01 I think we should sign another keeper first.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: donkey on Monday, August 24, 2009, 18:11:07 Or a winger.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spy on Monday, August 24, 2009, 19:51:20 Hes obviously not eager to sign for us so fuck him. Yes. If he thinks he's too good for us and would be here to pick up a pay cheque he can fuck off. Let's get someone younger and hungrier. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, August 24, 2009, 19:53:31 Because to quote Danny Wilson from the Adver The situation has got beyond silly now tbh.

We might get someone younger, but judging by his size I doubt we'd get anyone that is hungrier. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: alanmayes on Monday, August 24, 2009, 19:59:07 Trundle could very easily force the issue if he was wanting to come here.So far he's shown
no inclination to do that.Wages would also be a major obstacle i would have thought. Tread carefully Danny. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Spy on Monday, August 24, 2009, 20:00:52 We might get someone younger, but judging by his size I doubt we'd get anyone that is hungrier. I really set up that one didn't I? To be fair so long as we remain unbeaten (bar the first game) in the league then the coplaining about the striker situation won't be that bad. We are doing alright with 1 up front! But yeah obviously it needs sorting as our options are very limited. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, August 24, 2009, 20:05:34 Trundle could very easily force the issue if he was wanting to come here.So far he's shown no inclination to do that.Wages would also be a major obstacle i would have thought. Tread carefully Danny. Maybe it's a case of City trying to hold out for a better deal for Trundle e.g. someone who'll pay more % of his wage. In any event i'd imagine both club and player are going to wait until next week's deadline before deciding what to do. If there's still no more interest in him and Johnson really is that desperate to get him off their books then a deal could be done. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 07:49:55 Apparently we offered £250,000 for Trundle and it was rejected

unless he's come out and said he's not interested. maybe we should go for the young stead chap who's been placed on the transfer list at Ipswich Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Berniman on Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 12:12:08 here is a link to read http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/95413/Swindon-fail-in-Trundle-bid/ That link says £25k not £250k Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: wheretherealredsare on Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 12:13:46 Maybe that's the problem ... a 0 got missed off AF's text to Bristol.

Presumably if the Trundle deal hadn't gone through they would have gone for Big Jon Parkin. Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: leefer on Thursday, August 27, 2009, 19:01:25 Ime disapointed we didnt get him...think he wouldve been a good addition....onwards and upwards though.
Title: Re: lee trundle on loan coming on monday Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, August 27, 2009, 19:03:56 Akinfenwa/Trundle was their old strikeforce was it not?
I just cannot believe that Paolo Sousa thought to himself "I know what I'll do, out of all the strikers I could attract to Swansea I'll bring in Trundle and Akinfenwa."
