Title: Comings & Goings Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:27:22 I see that Byrne has said that we need another 4 or 5 new players and should see someone in on loan soon, but there will also be departures.
Out I reckon: Adams (released) 3 Amigos (released mutualy) Prophet (Loan) Blackburn (Loan) Pook In I recon: 2 Strikers 1 wide right player Central defender young Central midfielder as cover Title: Comings & Goings Post by: red macca on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:43:54 I agree
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: Bushey Boy on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:45:47 Id be happy with that
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: tans on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:46:35 I think thats spot on. I think we will sign a striker from the SPL tbph.
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:48:15 Can you imagine Fatbury's reaction if Pook was released......
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: tans on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:50:22 Quote from: "pumbaa" Can you imagine Fatbury's reaction if Pook was released...... Yes indeed. Could be a code red. Title: Comings & Goings Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 15:54:56 Might have to set him up a help line.
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 16:01:56 Quote from: "tans" Quote from: "pumbaa" Can you imagine Fatbury's reaction if Pook was released...... Yes indeed. Could be a code red. He'll be out seeking a new roll of carpet and a new female victim.....god forbid! Title: Comings & Goings Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 16:04:13 i dont think we'd get rid of pook
the three amigos plus blackburn and either mohamed or allen out on loan. Title: Comings & Goings Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 16:05:39 Im not expecting the new management team to keep Pook to be honest - its pretty obvious Byrne doesnt like him and he seems to have the biggest say at present.
Also we might see Zaaboub released - I dont think his histrionics during the Swansea game would have gone down too well with Byrne. Re the new striker we are after .. Stuart Fleetwood of FGR has been mooted by someone I spoke to earlier.

Zaboub is liked by byrne believe it ot not. When he was subbed Saturday byrne went up and gave him a massive gay cuddleAlso we might see Zaaboub released - I dont think his histrionics during the Swansea game would have gone down too well with Byrne. Re the new striker we are after .. Stuart Fleetwood of FGR has been mooted by someone I spoke to earlier. But I think your right about pook and I hope top see peacock replace him on the bench Title: Comings & Goings Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 16:16:51 why?? Peacock is ace!
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: red macca on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 16:21:07 I believe that there are better midfielders than him in this leauge that’s all . Nice bloke decent enough player but by the sounds of it we are signing players to make a push for the playoffs and I don’t think he is the right player for that.We need someone like curtis Weston(but better) alongside Easton imo .someone who picks the bal;l up and attacks
We know your views on Easton fatters but imo Easton is a better midfielder than peacock Title: Comings & Goings Post by: tans on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 16:37:42 Grant McCann is available from Barnsley?

Stuart Fleetwood of FGR has been mooted by someone I spoke to earlier. You mean another non league striker like The Prophet who there is no guarntee that he will make the grade and will probably take him a season to adjust....I think we need proven strikers that can play and adjust immediately Title: Comings & Goings Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 17:26:33 Mohammed does have something based on that run saturday, but agree he isnt yet ready take until next season to see if he will make it. if fleetwood was cheap he would be worth a punt but he wont be so no point
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: donkey on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 21:49:19 Quote from: "suttonred" Mohammed does have something based on that run saturday I had the runs a few weeks ago and I definately had something.[/b] Title: Comings & Goings Post by: adje on Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 22:32:55 Please no more non-league strikers!
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: Luci on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 12:18:11 I see Akinfenwa is being released from Millwall after his deal expires. Wonder where he will end up? (No Im not suggesting here before anyone says anything)
Leeds have also extended their keepers contract till season end. Perhaps then they'll pounce for Brez?

Title: Comings & Goings Post by: thedarkprince on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 14:17:34 Jamie Mackie of Exeter's being linked with Championship and L1 clubs - played approx 30 games for MK Mongs (when in Championship) so at least has a bit of experience of league footie.
Could be worth a punt as he probably won't cost much...

Did they change locations whilst at that level?? I can't remember tbh.
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: Melksham Red on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 16:04:38 Yes but were still known as Wimbledon.
Title: Comings & Goings Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 16:06:27 Quote from: "janaage" Were Franchise ever in the championship?? Did they change locations whilst at that level?? I can't remember tbh. ripped from wikipedia: During the 2003-04 season, Wimbledon F.C. was run by the administrators and many of the team's players were sold. At the end of a dismal season, the club was relegated to League One (the new name for the Second Division). During the summer of 2003, the National Hockey Stadium was converted for use as a football stadium, and in September 2003, Wimbledon F.C. moved into the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes. By spring of 2004, Winkelman bought the near-bankrupt club from the administrators. Change of name In June 2004, against the recommendations of the Football Association's Independent Commission, Winkelman announced that he was changing the name of Wimbledon FC to Franchise FC. This was not a popular decision - Winkelman had previously promised fans a vote on the issue, and the committee of the official supporters' club had voted unanimously for the word "Wimbledon" to be retained in the name.

So in summary Franchise never played in the Championship, they have always been a lower league club. Title: Comings & Goings Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, 17:06:56 Depends on how you look at it i suppose. I still don't count them as a club at all.
