you heard it here first!

does National Express go there from Haydon Wick?

Bizarre rumour. I guess it could happen though.

really?  I thought they'd started to turn things around up there now!

It is jointly being paid for by Torquay and Rochdale :soapy tit wank:

Would add up with Sturrock on about getting in another midfielder in today's WDP. It's pretty much one in one out at the mo, and he really did look poor v Wycombe if you ask me.

Id be well pissed off!

Never mind eh

Barts first joke  :D

Good news if correct, Pook out and a good midfielder in and the squad will be in a much better position   :D

Why is this good news exactly????

pook is a better player than he gets credited with by some fans.i'd like him to stay

Me too arriba.Dennis wise knows a thing or 2 about midfielders and rated him as does ince obviously but everyones got a opinion i suppose

king,iffy,woan, all rated him too.

has he got his license back though??

could cause a problem

It is a game of opinions just dont really rate him, he does try hard and will regularly work up & down a pitch and give 100% but find it hard to see what else he brings to a team he doesnt stamp his authority on a game by being either a playmaker or a holding midfielder so find it hard to see why he plays, as I said only my opinion though.

arriba, you rate pook but not monkhouse?

i rate pook yes.i dont not rate monkey, just in comparison to others in his position he is not as good.

and Pook is compared with Timlin, Zaaboub, Weston & Evans?

2 of which are injured.
another clearly is better suited out wide.

true, but when all our fit. He'd certainly be 5th choice in that list

one of those centre midfielders is probably not likely to play again this season(evans) 2 are not even our players which leaves us weston

how is zaaboub not our player?

We only have him until january,ok it is on a contract but only literally weeks left,no doubt that he will sign a new one.

My point is dv is that pook is well worth having around How many games have we lost when he has started This year

Not that i know the answer myself im just interested to know

I never once said he wasnt worth having around!

I just said we have better players in his position....and with a fully fit squad he'd struggle to get into the team....

No i know you didnt,you just asked arriba why he prefers pook to monkhouse.

On the monky subject anyway imho i think he is a cunt

I think you're a cunt. Can we offload you to Hartlepool?  :wink:

Of course you can.The police like me in hartlepool aswell

I think Monkhouse is a good player and neither us or Hartlepool have lost when he has played....

Plus, he's chipped in with some good goals this season.

No pace what so ever, but better than Aaron Brown I think.

pook is a good squad player in a position where injuries are frequent,
he is yet to reach his full potential i think.also i am pretty sure his wages would be one of the lowest in the first team.
monkhouse is older and injury prone, he plays a postion where we have 2 better options.he is a decent squad player too but i suspect he costs more in wages, and as money is tight would be one i'd do without.

i hate pook hurrah if he goes. didn't look up to the job on tuesday!

KEEP THE ROCK, OOOOHHH MICHEAL POOK, HES THE SWINDON TOWN RRROOOCCCKKKK, HES THE SWINDON TOWN RRRROOOCCCCKKK :D

IMHO hes better than whalley anyway

so he should be, what with Whalley being 33 and Pook just 20?

Thats like saying ashan is better than sheringham dv :wink:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: very true thanks macca :wink:

umm no its not...

Sheringham plays in the Premiership for starters and Ashan obviously doesnt

Where as Pook and Whalley are playing [or not as the case maybe it] at the same level

To the tune of what exactly?

true dv  :wink:

I don't think age is the issue, Jack Smith is better than Vincent is it cos he's younger?  How does it work that Williams is our best defender (IMHO) and the oldest in the team?

Pook is OK but replaceable, frankly if Sturrock wants rid of all the team and 11 new players let him do it, he knows what he wants and I think he'll get results.  IMHO Monky could do a very good job for us here, but if Luggy wants rid (or not) then its his call.  So far he's promoted Lukas to the starting 11 and brought in Zaboub and Timlin so his judgement is looking good so far.

Different positions mean you need different qualities, to play in the middle of the park you need a good engine....you need to be mobile....can Whalley still cover all areas of the pitch, can he heck!

Williams, is different...when was the last time he spent as much time out injured as Whalley? Williams has continually been playing football for years, his body hasnt given up on him yet

ok now you have added to it that makes sense (i think)

Pook is one of the worst players I have ever seen play for town. The sooner he goes the better. The game just passes him by. He has no awareness, can't tackle and just runs around alot. When he does get the ball he just looks for an easy square ball which usually ends up with an opposition player. Chippenham would love him.
