a midfielder who can tackle. west country boy. played under sturrock at plymouth, then went up to wednesday to play for him. didn't play much this season due to injuries and could find it hard to get into the wednesday team next year. his contract is up this summer anyway.

where to next i wonder...

...released by sheffield wednesday today...

Jon Beswetherick, played loads for Plymuff, some of which must have been when Sturrock was there....doesn't necessarily mean they travel very well further afield....although hopefully Bessy will still be at Sarum next season when they paste the Scum.

should be signing next week according to someone on myonlyswindon.

sturrock knows him inside out so presumably can do the business in league 1.

aint he injury prone?

Yes!

Does Sturrock only sign old players and family?

I dont knoiw anything about this bloke so ill reserve judgement.

yeah we'll see. im sure his name has only croped up because he has been with Sturrock at Plymouth and Wednesday

Yeah but that's some pretty good evidence. Better than fatbury's sauce told me.

anything is better than Fatbury's bollocks!

You've sampled them have you?

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: no i haven't! you can though if your willing. im sure Fatbury would be up for that.....just ask him

they might taste okay with a good source?

In todays adver Steve Adams says he wants to join us and really enjoyed working with Sturrock before.  Good solution here were in talks with Easton so bring him and Adams in and release Pook whos still stalling on his contract.  If like Jan says Pook is pushing for more money then simply say 'good luck at Supermarine next year Michael'.

The rocks too good for supermarine   :cry:

Well like Yeovil I know nothing about this Adams fella, so I'll reserve judgement.  I must say I am a little worried about getting all these players in loyal to Sturrock, what happens if Sturrock leaves and we're left with these players who want to up and leave and go play for Sturrock again at his new club?  Just a thought.

As for the Po ok wanting more money "rumour" well it would explain why talks are currently stalled and why we're after two midfielders.  And surely one of those rumours I posted has to come true???

im not worried about these "old boys" at all. they won promotion with Plymouth and Wednesday and they'll do it again here with any luck. Luggy knows what he'll get and they enjoy working with him

Pook out

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: About his level i'd say

Amen to that. The more 'old boys' the better in my book!

old boys? Steve Adams is only 26...

He's a Sturrock "old boy" but an ideal age for a footballer.

If he hasn't already been called from the "Luggy-Phone", he won't be joining Swindon.

he wouldn't be talking up swindon if he hadn't had some contact?

i've been told that pook is after more money, town won't offer it, and he has since been talking to shrewsbury...

i think we might be waiting on Easton and Pook before we go for Adams

I'm amazed at how much stick Pook gets. He's a local lad (ok that doesn't mean anything) but this is his club. The same with Jukawiecz. He's grown up with the club and wants it to do well.

Compare that to guys like Cureton, who don't care what club they play for as long as they're alright.

Pook had some good games, really well in others and he's only a young kid, who will get better over time.Sturrock respects Pook, and played him a lot, thats all that matters.

Sturrock plays a system and gets players in who suit that system. It seems like Easton, quite rightly is the number1 target for a hardworking midfield role alongside Peacock. Pook fits that mould.

I reckon some of the Pook flak is just local jealousy!!

I think it's more that he's shit.

Oh and Jamie and Pook, sitting in a tree......

Not the fact he acts like a class a prick off the pitch, drink driving for one?!

What part of his drink driving offence affects the way he plays and the respect his manager has for his playing ability?

Probably the drink bit.

If he's such a fan why is he stalling so he can get more money?

i thought he played quite well last season. League One quality I'm not too sure about.

jutkiewicz isn't a local lad.

pook might not be stalling for more money. he might not even be stalling. who knows? none of us.

I know Jutkiewicz isn't a local lad, what I meant was that he had been with the club in his formative years. That means a lot.

You're right - nobody knows if Pook is stalling. I'd like to see him here as a backup next year. There will be injuries and suspensions and I reckon he could do a job coming on. Lets give him some support, when he's here.

I don't see Adams in the mix unless the Easton deal gets hijacked. It should move when Sturrock gets back from his cruise.

Anyone know when he is back? I think he's been gone three weeks this weekend, so it can't be too long can it??

Pook will be off. Easton will come in and if not Adams will. Its as simple as that
