offer him £5000 a week mr fitton and get him back

A fine pitch :D

no.offer him the top wage the club has within its structure.if he excepts then great, if not then hey ho.

Yep, like Arriba said, parity with Cox at max.

Not that we need him really, but it would be a nice morale boost.

we do need Parkin, Corr is miles away from fitness, Peacock cant cut it anymore, Joycey one for the future, Blair is......well hes blair!!

And Parkin hasn't been the same player since he left us, you can't guarentee he'll come back circa 2004: If we could, I'd drive to Luton to get him, but the evidence suggests otherwise.

I love the Parkin cycle. No calls for him after Tranmere and QPR and then.....

Good pitch still.

i'd guess his goals per game rario aint gone down by too much, considdering his bad luck with injuries and time out etc

Swindon Town over 1 in 2
Ipswich Town under 1 in 4
Luton Town under 1 in 5

Er, nope.   

how many of them games are from the bench?
and take into account coming back from injury into a side after layoff.

Don't start the Paynter/Corr fight again!

We dont and wont get Sam Parkin, Get over it. I love Sam as much as anyone but he aint coming back so....

I feel gutted for Peacock, he could have got a few games in midfield, but hes not going to play often up front.

Yep, thought yesterday he would have done a good job in the middle.

im not saying its all going ahead, but there was cheeky little phone call put in

 ::)

bollocks. Great big ones.

ok then mate

a call was put in the day after QPR

To who, from who, about what, who told you, how do they know. And why after qpr...

I'm only biting because i'm hungover.

swindon made an inquiry to Luton about Parkin, i cant say who told me obviously, but u all know i have contacts within the club

WE ARE SIGNING PARKIN!!!!

haha u cock, prob wont come off cos he will still want the big wages that Millwall were suppose to have offered

A more pressing concern is a creative central midfielder

Jason, is that you?

yes im jason

we've got the best three central midfielders we've had for donkeys years.
 

Fitton quashed this rumour at the fans forum. Sam Parkin is NOT coming back.

 Gazzza who do you believe...Fitton or TCP? Now go and wash your mouth out.

situations change Gaz, didnt Fitton also say he would be looking at signing younger players than Parkin for Swindon? Nalis :)

uhhh marshall, Casal?

as far as I know Fitton doesnt decide who to sign anyway.

so that rubbishes gazzas philosphy of the parkin move then

Yes however Fitton would have to pay the fee so in essence no it doesn't.

if the chairman gets too involved and does not back the managers judgement u get a very unhappy manager like Rafa cos of the Gareth Barry saga

So who exactly made this phone call? What was said, and what will come from it?

Its Maplas team, if he wants Sam Parkin then we should try and get him.

Personally I think it would be a total disaster to bring Sam back.

never go back kids!

Exactly.

A 6 month loan deal, with Blair going the other way, would be immense, if he stays fit and scores goals then make it permanent in January. Him and Cox would be good, and he seems to be in some form.

A loan deal would be a very good option.

Is Sam Parkin's name going to come up every time we lose a game?

yes

has nothing to with with yesterdays result.more to do with him scoring shit loads of goals for us, and now playing in the basement league for a team on -30 points.

Spot on yeovil. Yes he scored a load of goals for us, but that was in the past. If he was still good, he wouldn't be in league. Do we want an injury prone striker?

[French Knights from Monty Python] We've already got one! [/FKFMP]

Go for him seeing as he's free scoring again. I miss that chant

No, we want one who will get us 20 goals a season...

Unfortunately DV i don't think Parkin can do that.

Would love to see him wearing the town shirt again and scoring goals for us
But he has already said he wouldnt come back as it could effect is hero status at the club.

Although that loan deal idea would be very interesting :)

But lets face it not going to happen.:(

or it's at least not as guaranteed as people seem to think. It's a completely different side to the one he left, with a different set up all the way through the management of the club. There's no reason that he could come back and replicate his form more than a new player could, and with Super Sammy you'd be running the risk of ruining his Town time legacy.

Paynter and Cox look good, Corr (if he can get and stay fit) and Cox sounds exciting. And even if things aren't going well a couple of games down the road, I'd much prefer we risked a young hungry premier loanee/reject rather than an expensive injury prone former great who'd be coming here on the back of past glories. Even Blair could do a job somewhere, although however much I think people are harsh about him, I'm not quite sure where he'd fit at the moment.

Yeah, we might struggle if Cox does a vanishing act or gets injured, but Parkin isn't necessarily the answer to all our goal scoring needs, at best he's a very expensive risk, and that's just financially.

Ben in sensible football post  :eek:

He does say theres only 2 places he feels popular - at his mums house and at Swindon....

If he came back I think a bit if wee might come out in excitment!

 JA got so excited by that, he forgot to post anything  :)

"chiffonniers" reg, which I'm reliably informed is the posh word for a wig maker.

 I got so excited, that I forgot to read the post  ;D

he doesnt need a wig now - hes shaved it all off!!

you lot are meanys with your big hair!!

Out for the rest of the season

Liar!

Let's kill this rumour...Sam Parkin has been injury prone over the last few years, it would be a huge risk bringing him back (as it was signing Corr)  - he would not get past the combination of Cox & Paynter at the moment and I'm not sure he could play the role needed to partner Cox either.

Would he really want to risk his hero status by coming back....I don't think he would

And I do not beleive TCP69 in that stfc enquired about Parkin either...I think he's trying to make himself look popular with his "I've got contacts" (in the youth team)

I dont want to kill the rumor - its fun

stop this parkin is fucking injury prone, HE ISNT FUCKING INJURY PRONE!!!
he had a broken ankle, he hasnt had loads of different little niggles and always out!
as for who i know at the club, u know fuck all so keep it shut u cunt

Dude, he said tcp69... It's all me me me with you isn't it?

I think Power to people is jealous of JCB's inside knowledge.

I can tell you quite categorically that he knows a damn sight more than you realise, he just does not like plastering it all over the boards like some people.

As for calling someone a cunt that you have never met and dont even know his background, it is you Sir, that I think is a bit of a cunt.

Grow up FFS

shh fred. I was stirring.

sorry Ben

it just pisses me off

JPcs quality,bringing some fight back to the TEF.Good lad.

I agree Yeovil. I've also got no problem about him posting stuff he knows all over message boards. If I had inside contacts it's what I'd do.

Whatever rocks your socks i guess... as long as your sauce doesn't mind, it's all good posting your insider stuff on forums.

My sauce minds, so i'm not allowed to say owt about owt. Not that i ever find out owt about owt until it happens anyway.

no they dont mind, as it cant be tracked back to those people, there has been loads of instances when i couldnt mention on here about  things that would have been blatant who the info came from, so i never posted it

ladies, please!

this makes me wish i was still an admin

your reign of terror is over youth.

Although I have been itching to try out the ban for x days option.

Completely up to him if he wants to post the rumours or not.

What I take offence to is the implication that P2P knows fuck all, and then to call him a cunt about it is just plain out of order in my book

fred i said he knows fuck all about who i know at the club, and i didnt say he knows no one at the club or anything like that

Can you ban me for 119 days effective from the 2nd November please Ben? I'm going travelling for a bit and the Mrs is veto'ing any TEF (or indeed any STFC interaction whatsoever) whilst we're abroad.

If you remind me.

I've done all i need to do. I just have to show her that i asked... I can't help it if you forget between now and then....  :D

or just strap a pair on mate and tell her u will keep up to date with the town whether she likes it not

There speaketh a single man...

Excuse me, isn't it about time you grew up going round calling people you don't know a c#unt - it's not the first time, you just show yourself up to be the imature person that you are - just because someone says something you don't like, feel free to appologise if your man enough though.

There's nought wrong with calling people a cunt.

But seriously, don't push it the two of you.

As far as I can remember he had at least two injury spells while with us with knee problems.
A broken ankle can happen I guess, but that was at Ipswich. He wouldn't have signed for Luton with that still bothering him, and on the basis of not playing very many games last season, that would indicate at least one other injury. That's at least 4 occasions then, ruling him out of a fair old percentage of games.

There must also be a valid argument that once you have a history of injuries you (note not 'u') become more susceptible to them in the future.

I'd say that makes it an unacceptable risk.

Amply demonstrating the reason why ....

Parkin would be just the ticket.

we couldn't afford his wage billet.

Apparently we have been wardened off him

That's just fine with me.

The meter is running on this one only 2 weeks left...I'm sure he'll be injured again by then  :bye:

nice.

Parkin is injured anyway

 :fishing:

ahhhh I know how he feels my sciatica was bad last week

To be fair you are all cunts

fuck off

He's got his own warden?

What is he living in sheltered accommodation now or a fucking game reserve or what?

He's been put on angry Lumps watch to make sure you don't spontaneously combust.

I think it followed on from the puns on tickets and parking and stuff, refering to a traffic warden.

That's what I thought when I read it anyway.

I'm single but if anyone told me I wasn't allowed to keep tabs on Town I'd tell them where to go.  Presumably she has some interests that you've banned her from in response?
