Is currently training with us, personally i don't think he is that good, done nothing at Plymouth or anywhere else he's been, he did however score 6 goals in 12 games for Rochdale last season.

I could be proved wrong, i trust Sturrock to make the right signings for this club!!!

Why do managers have a habit of bringing their son's to their new team all the time???

To give them a chance?

Maybe, however he has followed Sturrock to at least 2 other clubs and done nothing, he couldn't even get in Plymouth's team when they were in league one, he has a poor scoring record, Peacock and Roberts are better than him!!

he might play better under Luggy who knows? 6 goals in 12 games for Rochdale last season is pretty good going

Not a bad ratio.

Maybe he might play better, before joining Rochdale last season he scored 13 goals in 113 appearances!!

yes but last season wasn't that long ago and Rochdale were fucking shit last season! scoring 6 in 12 for them is pretty good

i got the impression he was here to build up his fitness following his injury?

yh he looks pretty mint :D

Plymouth fan at work said to me the other day, "You just better hope he doesnt sign his son Blair!"  :|

I agree with the plymouth fan, he is very injury prone, more injury prone than monkey and that's saying something!!!

Also IMO 19 goals in 125 games that's including his spell at Rochdale is not really setting the world on fire is it??

That's quite a poor record for a striker!!!

But if he does sign for us let's give him a chance to show what he can do, he's only getting fit with us at the moment!!!

Bloody wish I was wrong....

The way he said... [Paraphrase] 'He scored this much for Rochdale last season' --- That sounds to me that we'll be a STFC player for at least a few games!

He's got a stupid fucking name I know that. Fucking Blair. What about a proper name like John, or James? Or Dave.

We are supposed to be making our strikeforce stronger not weaker!!!!

Would much rather have someone a bit more proven than him with a better goalscoring record!!

he is here for fitness, nothing else...

They all say that, i wouldn't be surprised at all to see him sign a contract very soon!!!

well we are short of top stikers .. supposing he ends up good? give him a chance i reckon

We can't judge yet, remember Super Sammy scored very few before he joined us.

Super Sammy hadn't been given as many chances as this boy.

Or Cameron?

For fucks sake, what is it with some of you people. ?

Sturrocks come in, done well, impressed all, and we start slagging off his son, before it's even announced that he's joined the club.

If I were Blair I'd tell my dad where to go.

Funny how all of you seem to be such great football scouts/managers.

I play football manager. that makes me an expert :agree:  :wink:

I agree. If Sturrock Senior signs Sturrock Junior (which is far from certain from what he said last night) it will be because he knows he can do a job for us and that will be good enough for me. Let's just let the man do his job and trust his judgement shall we?

Or Archibald

well hes shit on footy manager :soapy tit wank:

My opinions are based on the fact that I've seen him play a couple of times and his was not very good in any of them.

This might change at Swindon... He might not even join.

We shall see.

I always take the manager signing up his crap son as a very bad sign......to the extent I'd say it would call into question his judgement, unless the boy happens to be very good.

  Tends to destablise the rest of the squad who resent favourtism.....especially when  a popular lad like Onion gets shown the door.....

  So Sturrock out (if it happens)

My opinion on Blair Sturrock is based on watching him a fair few times in the past and he's no more than average.

I remember when he was at Plymouth he was injured alot, he's very injury prone, as i said before he's a bit like Monkhouse.

I don't think he's any better than Fola, that;s my opinion.

We need someone who can score goals, sadly i don't think Blair is the man to do it!!!

Paul Sturrock's a great manager and he's going to be very good for this football club but i think signing his son would be a big mistake!!!

Well I'm prepared to give Mr Sturrock and Mr Sturrock a chance before I voice any concerns.

If they both give their all for the club that's good enough for me!!!

Can't think of many son's of pro footballers who have done that well?

Jamie Redknapp was good.

Paul Dalglish,  Steven Clemence. Both poo.

Blair can change all that !!

darren ferguson has become a legend at wrexham, played a bit for wolves to. not top level though!

gary johnson's son? lee i think. less than popular at shitty i believe.

i still think it's a nothing story.

 There are a lot.....but not normally when their father is manager.

  Michael Owen and Frank Lampard in the England set up for  example.

  At STFC Nicky Summerbee....Paul Trolllope.

    All the Allen clan. etc etc

I thought Paul Trollope was rubbish. But he went on to do ok at Derby didn't he.

Nicky Summerbee - a fine example of someone being good.

I was talking more about where the manager and son were at the same club. Frank Lampard counts in that bracket at West Ham.

Fuck me reg! I can see the headline in the sun tomorrow!
MICHAEL OWEN IN SHOCK ADMISSION....SVEN IS REALLY MY DAD :shock:

He did alright at Fulham too, to be fair to the bloke.

Al-Saadi Qadhafi was not a great footballer for Perugia and Udinese. He is the son of Colonel Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi who own part of juventus. He only lasted one game for Perugia because of failing a drugs test.

KNOWLEDGE.

Theirry has done ok, the son of Lenny.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: I doff my cap.

Nigel / Brian Clough is the most successful father/son manager/player combo I can think of.

I think Jamie Radknapp played at Bournemouth whilst Harry was manager didn't he?

...and southampton.

Tis a goodun OOH SHAUN.

Cesare Maldini, Paolo Maldini.

Did Gordon Strachan ever sign his son?

i thought thierry was the son of charlie

double

i think he had him at coventry

Steve bruce had his son alex at birmingham up until recently, he was totally crap, now playing for Ipswich.

some top notch journalism by the daily mirror...

STURROCK'S SON FIRST SIGNING

Paul Sturrock will make striker son Blair, 25, his first signing for Swindon Town.

Sofien Zaboub is Sturrocks son  :o

Thought we would have signed a striker who's better than Blair Sturrock TBH!!!

we still might seen as we havent signed Blair  :roll:

Not that, that Roberts guy isnt doing too bad

I'd give him a chance. He scored 6 in 12 games for Rochdale, that's a much better return than we've had from Fola or Brownlie, the two strikers that Wise brought in.

TRUST IN LUGGY!!

Yes, I'd give him a chance

IF WE SIGN HIM, AND WE HAVENT!!!

but we will

says who?

me i just think he will IF he proves his fitness
