Title: Full Back Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 19:02:02 aparently we're making a bid for a championship full back who will be a great addition to the squad. Even though MM said he wouldn't be spending any money this summer, we would be paying for this player so must be quite good.
Title: Full Back Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 19:08:32 Fitton said Peterborough and Franchise will be spending the same "if not more" than Swindon so that says to me the cheque book will be coming out.

Title: Full Back Post by: ronnie21 on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 07:13:51 Quote from: "Jan the Man" The player in question is ment to be Charlie Mulgrew from Wolves This was reported on RS at 6-30 am, apparently we face competition from Southend where he was on loan last season. Former Scottish under-21.Title: Full Back Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 08:04:31 Left Back, started at Celtic, loaned to Dundee to get some first team experience, scored 2 goals in 14 games (both free kicks) and got Scottish young player of the month.
Went to Wolves after swap for Lee Naylor, started to play, got injured, couldn't get back in the team and went on loan to Southend. The end. Title: Full Back Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 08:17:20 If it is and leaked, i would guess it's done either way, as they've been pretty secretive in any deals up to now
Title: Full Back Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 09:02:53 I'm disappointed (but obviously not suprised) the Advertiser have gone with this - Mulgrew has already played for Southend thus making it more than a possibility that he'd opt for them - which allows above their station fans to get on Malpas' back for missing out on players to teams like Southend.
Was is Malpas that capped him at U-21 level? Title: Full Back Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 09:06:50 I think it was Rich.
The Adver went with this as the Wdp and radio wilts were already going with it.

Well then, I guess I am disappointed with the media generally :D Title: Full Back Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 09:14:16 Yeah was a bit silly.Southend are close to signing though but at least it shows the type of player we are after.

It's what they do!

Title: Full Back Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 09:18:43 screen breakingly long WDP link (http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=146243&command=displayContent&sourceNode=145928&contentPK=20893209&folderPk=100269&pNodeId=145803)
Title: Full Back Post by: pauld on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 09:58:05 I'd strongly suspect this is one of those cases where the media have all gone with this story because they've been given a nod and a wink as to who it is we're after. That in itself would indicate a degree of confidence on our part that we've all but got him, given how close cards have been played in other cases
Title: Full Back Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 10:14:41 I see that hes more of a left midfielder than a full back and played a fair few games for the Wolves reserves in that role as well, the Wolves fans on their forums are all saying his best position was left midfield as well.....maybe hes to add a bit of steel to the midfield when we play away from home with little Ant MacNamee dropping to the bench for the away games?
On the other side of things...I see hes another big bloke at 6'3" so if he does play at fullback with Kanyuka, Ifil and Amankwaah then we will have a huge back four this season. Title: Full Back Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 10:26:58 On the subject of left backs, i've always wondered why aljofree was never tried there. He's played there in the past, he likes getting forward, hes not exactly a mug when he's got the ball at his feet and it wont matter as much when he goes bullocking off after an unwinnable ball.

The only reasons to drop Vincent imo are due to lack of pace and distribution Aljofree would offer us nothing better in that position.Title: Full Back Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 10:30:42 Quote from: "STFC dave" On the subject of left backs, i've always wondered why aljofree was never tried there.

Double postTitle: Full Back Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 10:40:30 On the plus point...if we do get him the Wolves fans say he is a fantastic long range free kick taker.
It does seem that Southend are still favourites for his signature though. Title: Full Back Post by: Tails on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 11:34:00 Southend fans seem to think he's signing on Friday. Considering Wolves are waiting for us to bid I find that unlikely, although they still seem ultra confident he'll be there's.

Title: Full Back Post by: lebowski on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 16:07:35 I thought Charlie was their best player when Southend played us at the County Ground. This would be a very good signing.
Title: Full Back Post by: DV on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 17:59:37 my fucking god, are we really that bad that Southend of all fucking teams think of us as tiny Swindon and themselves as a bigger, better more attractive club
Title: Full Back Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 18:25:21 Delusions of grandeur after 1 season in the championship. I think they'll struggle this year, as most of their squad have gone, and even if they get decent players in , they'll take time to settle.

Title: Full Back Post by: Power to people on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 14:28:12 Southend United chairman Ron Martin has confirmed that he remains hopeful of signing Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Charlie Mulgrew.The full-back impressed during a three-month loan spell at Roots Hall last season and the Essex club are keen to sign him on a permanent basis.
Swindon also hold an interest in acquiring his services, but Martin told Southend's official website: "Charlie is a player we would like to retain. "He improved during his time with us but at the moment Steve Tilson does not agree with Wolves' valuation of him. "However, we don't think agreeing personal terms with Charlie would be a problem and it's certainly something we will pursue." Title: Full Back Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 14:58:27 Well - that's no clearer - they want him but don't want to pay for him.
Title: Full Back Post by: pauld on Thursday, June 19, 2008, 15:54:05 I think those Southend fans are just bitter because more people end up at their forum as a result of mistaken Google searches for minor royal style sexual fetishes than because they have any interest in Southend Football Club (hint: look up "Shrimping" on Urban Dictionary if this is puzzling you)

The player surely wouldn't be able to talk to another club until a fee has been agreed anyway Title: Full Back Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, July 3, 2008, 16:33:06 Buh.
Luring Ritchie Jones was always going to be an uphill task when an SPL team and a L1 team closer to his family came in for him Luring Charlie Mulgrew was always going to be an uphill task as he was in talks with a club he enjoyed a successful loan stint last season. Josh Low is wanting a longer contract offer - so we may miss out on him too. These are all lame excuses but I think they're valid to a degree. Such is life - as long as Malpas has other targets then all will be fine. Title: Full Back Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, July 4, 2008, 18:05:36 Quote from: "Maurice Malpas on OS" Swindon Town boss Maurice Malpas has confirmed the club withdrew their contract offer for midfielder Ritchie Jones. Jones signed for League One Hartlepool United rivals on Friday afternoon although Malpas confirmed the club were at an advanced stage of negotiations to bring the player to The County Ground before Town ended their interest. "There was a lack of eagerness on his part. I had to pull the plug because we just didn't get a response. "It is his prerogative to choose where he goes and he has done that. "All I will say is that he showed a lack of urgency to come here and that's not the type of player we need here. He didn't get back in touch and that's where our interest ended." Wolverhampton Wanderers Charlie Mulgrew The manager has also given the latest on a move for Wolves defender Charlie Mulgrew over a move to The Robins. "Negotiations are continuing. We have agreed a fee with Wolves and that is thanks to a lot of work by our Chairman, Andrew Fitton. "I would expect I will be spending my weekend speaking to the player and the agent and see where we go from there." Interesting how we apparently pulled the plug. Still a long way to go on the Mulgrew deal too. |
