He's abit crap

Is he Dave

was unable to go tonight but didnt hear much from him

actually he played pretty well.

He gave a very assured performance. I was impressed.

But so did Blackburn. And with Ifil and Adjofee and the returning Williams what was the fucking point of wasting the wages.

I thought he did ok, very composed but went down a little too easily

First 20 was appalling, but grew into the game and looked quite good....but no more than a poor man's Ifil

Nope hes crap. Was getting outmuscled by ricky shakes ffs!!!

Wasn't impressed

he looked good in the air but not on the deck-press conference within the next couple of days apparently.

we now have someone for the number 13 shirt

I thought he was alright. Reminds me of Ifil abit.

coz he's black?!

no, the way he jumps in.

I thought he had a good game for his first as did most of the people around us , he won pretty much everything in the air and it was only the lightning pace of shakes that did him but he obviously knew what we did that Ricky would manage to tackle himself :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I thought they all did well. Bit of a surprise that we signed Almedia a couple of weeks ago and nothing been said. Owners influence maybee?

Almost certainly. He must be one of the two players we signed. I wonder if there is another lurking around somewhere  :|

Another! Try 9 more!

We'll have a Iberian starting elevn by Chrimbo at this rate ffs.

from bbc website july 2006 same bloke?? holloway obviously didn't rate him? :-

Almeida handed trial with Argyle  
Plymouth manager Ian Holloway has taken Portuguese central defender Mauro Almeida on trial.
The 24-year-old, whose last club was Dutch outfit FC Zwolle, has flown out with the Pilgrims for a week-long training camp in Austria.

Holloway is keen to add a defender to his squad and also intends to give a trial to Aziz Ben Askar.

The French defender is known by Holloway as he managed him when he was boss at QPR in the 2001/02 season.

i saw some black geeza next to the boob tonight-not sure whether a bum chum from native france? or whether he's a new signing that we aint announced either as he had the full town tracksuit on  :?

Which one then?

Almeida or the French lad?

can we pipe up with 'we've got the whole world in our team' on sunday v yeovil then  :beers: that'd be comedy as we're on the box as well

dunno, I'm lost too  :?

You can't be french and be called Aziz surely.

And don't call me Shirley!!

New Board pressure?

You can't be french and be called Aziz surely.

And don't call me Shirley!!

Very possibly, but I'll reserve judgement until the press conference.

Thing is, I can't see him getting a game. So I just can't see the point even for the new regime to sign him. Not playing = no profit.

Back-up to the first team.

 Williams has played his last game is my bet. He probably only got a new deal due to a clause in his contarct after 20 games etc.

PS probably had no choice and Williams being crocked knew he wouldn't get a deal elsewhere.

Why not ?  you can be from Wales and be called Mohammed .

That's possible, I agree if we see williams again it'll only be in the JPT. just suprises me that we think we need another centre back when Blackburn &  Vincent  can cover.

Still maybe Luggy wants 2 specialist players for every position. I think I am too used to having a small/weak squad where 'makeshift' will do when the poo hit the fan.

And don't forget that Williams had the taste of management, so might be looking to be more involved on the coaching side or some management thingy (reserves or youths?)

I don't think he'll play for us again.

Agree with that tbh.

why is everyone writing Williams off?!

because he is old and a six week injury is taking 4 months and we have blackbur ,ifil,alojofree,now almedia so automatically he is 5th choice.To be fair vincent was just as impressive at centre half last year so you could argue williams at this moment is 6th choice

john blackley is defensive coach, so can't see williams have much input there. not sure it's worth a club our size and with our finances (whatever they are) to keep a player who only played half a season for us and give a token coaching role.

if i was him i'd be trying to eke out whatever's left of my playing career tbh, even if it meant dropping down a division or two

We don't even know how long he's signed for do we? Could even be the type of deal we offered Zaaboub - up until January. Then if he impresses gets more.

Will Williams be playing by the time we get to January? I'm not so sure.

I thought he had a good game. Looked solid at the back with Jesus.

  Ady must be in a decent position to take over when Sturrock goes....think I've posted this elsewhere, but he says he's known Rufus for a while.  He would be acceptable to the fans as someone whose conducted themselves well......he hasn't made enough out of the game to be minted for the rest of his days and managers jobs are difficult to come by...so he'd probably be prepared to put up with the sort of pointless Latvian role established by the Hearts template.

Oh no not a cheap option again. Reg don't put ideas into the board's heads please  :D

THink I am going to start supporting Hearts. Their club is running perfectly compared to ours! :(

Do you mean Lithuania?

reg you do talk some utter shite sometimes.
the guy we have signed looked good and yes they did not mention about his signing till the day of the game but hopefully sturrock will clear that up by the weekend.
jesus swindon fans change the record and be postive the leicester story has proven to be rubbish so let just move on and talk about the fact that for once our team is looking bloody good and a manger has been given a bit of a transfer kitty for the first time in gods knows how long.

i'm going fishing

 Probably...I do have a bit of a mental block, when it comes to the Baltic States......can't tell my Tallin from my Riga.

 Only sometimes....*note to self*....must try harder

What? instead of Latvia or instead of Hearts?!?!?! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Instead of Rufus.
