According to bbc swindon we have signed  a new striker who it is i dont know.

And the speculation starts all over again  :mrgreen:

Nah only messing, hope its true.

I wouldnt be surprised if its the lad kaid :roll:

Sam Parkin Blatently... before someone else says it.

anyone got the link?

According to bbc swindon its kaid hes having a medical and will sign a one year deal wow our scoreing problems are now over :x

yay  :beers:

Yesss!
I'm happy with him. Future star in my eyes.

Give the kid a chance mate!.. Jesus

at least we have a striker, but I feel we need another 1 possibly 2.

I guess Wrexham having a contract on the table has forced Sturrocks hand and he obviously thinks he has potential. He can't be costing that much and we would all of been moaning 9 months down the line if he scores 25 goals for Wrexham as to why we did not take a chance on him.
I still think PS will be getting an experienced striker in before the start of the season.

i liked him. Had our best chance of the game and was very quick in the first half. Just needs to work on fitness, but then again he's never been a professional footballer before. Add to that the fact he'll be on peanuts and is only 22, and I think thats a good signing.

hopefully arrietta will sign as well, him and big baz would be ace i reckon  8)

Sounds good then. We desperatly needed someone up top so i'm prepared to give him a chance.

I was expecting a bigger signing when bbc swindon announced we signed a new striker.

If we dont get an experienced striker in we are fooked

Agreed bart fooked indeed.

Boooooo sign Arrieta insted

Do one nob chicken.

He's a good player. Don't you have any razors in the bath room?

I guess this now blows the transfer embargo rumour out of the water unless something truly has happened in the boardroom

\ :D /

We're saved.

Hallelujah!

was thinking that to myself last night. Arrieta really impressed me, but he doesn't look like scoring many.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: WTF, next time you go to McDonalds ask for a Big Mac and Nob Chicken wings

agreed, but could be used as a target man with baz, and have someone in the hole just behind them to run on and lash the ball in, peacock could be good for that..........

It does make me wonder whether a deal has now been finalised. Why hasn't Pook signed before now? Or Adams for that matter? But now we can sign this dude. I reckon we'll hear something soon from the club. At least i hope.

fuck pook i say, but thats my personal opinion

but he was UTTER CRAP!!

im convinced its because Sturrock wants to play his son more now

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I agree fatters, but dont deliver and then what?

We dont have a forward line with on e experienced striker. With kick off only 10 days away this is very worrying

Don't see how you can form that opinion based on last night. You may ultimately be right, but he didn't show it.

 :shock:  Dont give fatbury ideas

Quote me in 8 months time.  :wink:

glad we've at least signed a striker but i like arrieta as well, hope we sign him as well

Yeah, we really need an expirenced striker like Tony Thorpe....or Jaime Cureton - that one worked out well for us  :roll:

Fucking moaning cunts.

He met his team mates YESTERDAY FFS!!!

What did you expect, he'd score a hat trick? He'd be able to instinctively read what players he's never played with before were going to do?

Stick to FM, or whatever and leave the team to Sturrock.

No issue with taking a punt on a cheapy like this.  I'd be more concerned if we now sign the spanish lad as well, with Sturrock already being signed-up.

We'd effectively have what most people think is a forward line at the start of the season that has so far not looked too threatening in front of goal.

For me,we should be looking for someone else now.

I think he will score 15-20 goals. He seems to have an eye for a goal admittedly at a lower standard but fucking hell look at the cracking player Reading signed from Cork etc Kevin Doyle hardly shite

I'd agree with that.

Top job.   He comes with glowing references, which is a lot more than the non-leaguers we’ve signed in recent seasons have ever come with.  The likes of Ben ‘friend of the family’ Martin, Dykes (who admittedly wasn’t that bad), Fola and the other misfits have hardly come with a pedigree and glowing endorsements.

Im pleased although I wasn't sure on him last night but that was more than likely to do with the partnership up front.

His wages are going to be cheap though and I'm pretty sure he'll work damned hard considering how much hes deperate to play in the highest league he can.

I agree with Blinkpip he showed enough promise last night to be a very good signing for this club.  I am pleased we have a gambled on this, he looked better than Arrieta to me.  Showed good movement, won flicks and generally was sharp with good link ups in the first half.  Yes he faded but once Sturrock gets to work with him for a sustained period we will see him develop into a quality striker IMO.  So to sumarise well done Mr Sturrock  8)

Have a look at http://www.red-passion.com/ and see what Wrexham fans think of him , considering they have seen a lot more of him they seem to be quite excited by the prospect of signing him not ready to label him as shite off of the back of 70 mins with players he has met that day.

"The closest player in the Welsh Premier to Lee Trundle."

What, flash arrogant fat cunt with a pop star girlfriend?

Ace!

Those taffs over at red-passion.com don't seem too happy he's signed for us  :D

That's what I thought  :D

Im happy with arrieta, he lacks pace and skill but from what i have seen/heard he can find the net, and thats what we need.

Im with you there rob  :)

He can find the net  since when :(

so its  Kaid then not arrieta, my bad, haha

Ooooh, get her. All I was saying is that he didn't look all that in the game last night, certainly the poorer of the two strikers.

I do realise you can't judge him on 70 minutes in what was his first day at the club;) Just surprised we offered him a contract so soon -thought we might have another look at Exter/FGR before deciding.  I assume Sturrock has been watching him though.

Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo is what I deduce from the musings on this forum.

But then thinking about it, thats a multi-step process thats not quite as easy as it sounds.

1. Locate a banjo, and grasp firmly in hand.
2. Locate a field of cows. Ideally a lone cow to reduce risk of stampeding beasts. Enter field undected by cow and approach rear of said cow, or identified target if multiple bogies are in range.
3. Draw back arm holding banjo, then execute swing of implement similar to that of a baseball bat, hoping to god the banjo lands somewhere on the cows rump.
4. Fucking leg it!

I'd draw a flowed diagram if I could be arsed...

(Before anyone asks, I'm on about Arietta)

Felt Kaid had more about him, movement, link ups, flick on's and generally more of a threat.  Yes Arrieta ran around and flung into a few challenges but don't really want strikers doing that, if we were going to stick with something like that we might as well keep Peacock up there.

He's got the same sort of background as Phil Smith - so hopefully he'll turn out the same....!

And while we're talking about players coming from non-league, let us not forget a certain Freddy 'Where's Your Caravan' Eastwood who we had on trial here.

If this Mohammed lad had gone to Wrexham and scored 25 goals people on here would have been moaning like fuck (probably the same ones who are saying, "oooooh, he's not what we need" and such like :roll: )

Sam Parkin joined us on this day 5 years ago - so that suggests that a late addition can make a whole lot of difference!
