It is only the 8th ... we have all month don't we?

I wonder if it will change the position with Monkhouse.

perhaps Luggy should start looking at people who actually will play for us instead of dreaming that we are a league one team. league 1 players wont come here. simple as that

Well maybe not  :oops:  .... but he scored 3 in the month he was at Hartlepool .... in the same period .... Peacock got 3 ... Jutkiewicz got 3 ..... and Roberts got 1 .... not bad when he is not a forward!!

Super Sammy Parkin

I thought Barnsley had signed Knight.  I agree though, a pacy nuisance who scores the easy chances is what we need.

Where'd we get the name Abbott from anyway?

Scores goals for fun in front of 10,000+ probably on more money in a league above us.

Forgive me for belittling our club by why on gods green earth would he ever consider us?

Abbott was a name suggested by a Huddersfield fan originally. I'd love to see him here but agree with Dave really, I can't see why he'd come or how we could afford him.

Unfortunately ever since he had dose of nut-rot Harris hasn't quite managed to hit the majestic form he managed in 99/00 & 00/01 with Millwall.

That young fella Paul Benson at D&G looks a right handful but I’d be torn about signing someone who could further help the Pox’s wheels falling off.

Yeah I thought Knightly was good in Pirates of the Carribean too. Quite a step up.

bored and pissed off

Hey I am bored and I am pissed off which is why turning a thread about to a player who won't be joining us into inane ramblings is cheering me up.

Nothing seems to be going right this week. Think I will have to get hammered at the weekend to make up for it.

i'm becoming genuinely concerned that we're not going to find the striker we desperately need, transfer fees will be nominal which rules out a huge number of players.

without a proven striker of quality we could miss out on promotion.

Surely though if we get a fox in the box, there's a real danger he might eat the rabbit in the hat?

I agree Sonic, the old fox in the box is what we need.  Having seen us saturday I can't help but think Cureton or SSP type player would've won us the tie.  I know they are very hard to find especially at the right price but I do worry for our promotion hopes without.  I'd have thought our league position would have meant that players realistically could hope that their stay in League 2 would be a short one!

===STFC STATEMENT===

The club is both angry and frustrated that Trust STFC an in particular Paul Davis felt the need to meddle in the fundamental nature of the food chain, with regards to recent specualtion regarding foxes and rabbits.  The club wish to make it clear that the Wills family rabbit 'wee willie' has been traumatised by these comments, and that all gossip regarding a special Burns night rabbit hagggis for Paul Sturrock is purely speculation, which the club are urging fans to distance themselves from, they see it as a personal attack on themselves, their advisors and their rabbit and have threatened to continue issuing misleading statements ad infinitum until the fox in the box has been captured and dealt with.

Get hammered now!!

The lack of alcohol in my office was probably an oversight on your part. I'll take a couple of lines of charlie in with me next time.

Expecting an 'official' answer tomorrow lunchtime...More irons in the fire according to Sturrock.

well hes got to say that hasnt he? Tho lets hope hes right

I'd tell Rodgers to stick it now as he's had long enough to decide over a move to us.

Chris Brown was involved in that Sunderland orgy.  :shock:  :?

his wikipedia page is quite amusing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Brown_%28footballer%29

wonder how long it will take for it to be changed back.

BYE BYE BROWN, YOU WONT BE MISSED - I HOPE YOUR CAREER NOSEDIVES FROM NOW ON...

it says the offer for Brown is from Norwich so that won't be happening

Port Vale manager Martin Foyle has expressed a keen interest in striker Luke Rodgers following an impressive display in the 4-2 reserves win over the Vale yesterday. Lee Matthews, formerly of Port Vale scored the other goal for Neil Baker's fringe contingent.


Rodgers, who scored a hat-trick in the game, has already had a number of offers come in for his signature but has yet to decide on his next move. The 25 year-old originally signed for Crewe in the summer of 2005 has been placed on the transfer list at his own request after failing to fight his way into the first team due to the continued success of Maynard, Varney and Jack.


Martin Foyle knows how the situation stands at the moment but has made no official contact with Crewe for the Birmingham born forward.


Foyle declared: "I know he (Rodgers) is available and I know that other clubs are interested and I know who has put in bids.


"I also know a little bit of what's going on, but I haven't had any contact with Crewe whatsoever."


Foyle insists he needs something to happen at Port Vale in terms of his own personnel before he can pursue anything concrete with Rodgers.


He stated: "The ball is not in my court at the moment. Until something moves or shifts then I can't do anything."


Swindon manager Paul Sturrock is currently awaiting a decision from Rodgers after Crewe accepted their £30,000 bid, with Dario Gradi leaving the decision entirely up to the former Shrew.
