In the adver it says Nalis, Casal, Sturrock and Pook could be for the chop. Now Reg might be the person to know which Swindon player works out to be the most expensive per game not including wages. I guess with alot of undisclosed fees its hard to work out. I mean say Casal signed for 30k thats 6k per game hes cost us thus far. Drysdale popped into my head he played 54 games and cost 340k. Thats £6,296 per game. Do you think anyone works out more expensive per game than that? I guess Joey Bumboy must win if you think he cost us 800k for 60 games. £13,333 per game. I think I may have answered my own question. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread.

I'd keep him unless we have someone much better lined up to replace him.

Post by: Leggett on Friday, January 2, 2009, 15:36:12 i dunno, i just think he gets a bum deal sometimes. when his dsad was here he was pretty poo but when i've seen him this year he's been good. there are better backup strikers, but corr isnt one of them...

Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Friday, January 2, 2009, 15:58:00 ...and score goals And therein lies the problem. Looking at his injury record it's easy to say "get rid", but you look at his scoring record (I haven't, I'm presuming) and you'd find it hard to let him go. A catch 22, if you will. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: axs on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:00:57 I don't recall him scoring many at all.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: axs on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:01:53 DV, get us some stats.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: DV on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:03:24 Although it was a while back I did all my geeky stats and Corr and Paynter over their careers both had roughly a 1 goal in 4 games ratio.
Paynter had kept this up over about 270 games, Corr over about 60. If anything come the end of his contract we should sign Corr on a pay as you play deal!! Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: adje on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:03:38 10 goals in 19 starts for us-its not bad
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: axs on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:04:46 How many has he scored from the bench?
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: DV on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:11:06 How many has he scored from the bench? Only 2, which surprises me! Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: axs on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:15:15 So it's 8 in 19 starts then, still not bad.
Over his career I think he's still under 1 in 5 though. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, January 2, 2009, 16:17:25 10 goals in 19 starts for us-its not bad There lies the dilemma of Bazza, on the rare occasions he plays, he looks useful...just doesn't play often enough...so new contract very doubtful, but not impossible.

Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, January 2, 2009, 19:55:09 In Bobby Smiths day they were all at it. I heard he was shagging one of the directors wives. Tranter was at it with McHales wife and McHale was at it with someone who still gets a mention in the Adver occasionally. I think the fact that Peach was an alcoholic when he signed didn't help either. He was complete crap for us.

Post by: Nemo on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 10:18:53 Quote DANNY Wilson will target at least two defenders in the transfer window as he looks to “stem the flow” of goals against and boost Town up the League One table. While Swindon have had no problems finding the back of the net at one end of the pitch, only Cheltenham and Crewe have conceded more than Town’s 42. Wilson admits it is one of the reasons why his new side are hovering nervously above the relegation zone, and has already made enquiries as he looks to get fresh faces in before Stockport come to town in seven days’ time. “I think the spark of bringing somebody in gives everyone a lift and that’s what we are intending to do,” revealed Swindon’s new manager. “We’ve got a list of players and targets, and it will be the early part of next week when we sit down with the chairman and bounce a few things off each other. “The wheels are in motion in one respect because we have already made the initial enquiries about the players to see their availability. “We managers are very greedy and we are never satisfied, so the more the merrier, but the minimum we would look for is two or three. “Whatever comes after that, we’ll have to wait and see. “To concede 42 goals at this stage of the season is not ideal, and if you are doing that then you find yourself in the position that we are. “You have to make sure you start stemming that flow, at the back in particular. “We’re going to tighten up at the back and hopefully give ourselves a better chance of winning games.” Wilson also admitted that he would be willing to release some of his fringe players, but as yet there has been no interest. “We’ve had no phone calls yet about anybody, and we will only address it when that comes,” he said. “The squad is important to us, particularly with the position we find ourselves in, but I think if players are not getting games then the opportunity may arise for one or two to go out on loan.” From the adver, looks like we're chasing defenders. I'm guessing a left back is the priority. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: dell boy on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 10:30:51 No interest in Swindon fringe players, you would think a few non-league clubs would be queing up for the likes of Sturrock, Pook, Marsahll and Casal, even if only on loan.

Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: STFC_Gazza on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 10:50:12 I thought Marshall looked ok in a coming off the bench role. a bit greedy but desperate to impress. Good enough for L1?

Quote Wilson insists the list is 'as long as your arm' but believes that an agreement to add two or three new faces to strengthen key areas is the most likely outcome of those discussions. Wilson hinted that the additions will be made through the spine of the side with a central defender, centre midfielder and a striker all expected to feature on his shopping list.

Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:17:24 We do actually need a good target man. Paynter holds the ball well and Corr can win the flick ons but we need someone who can do both. If we could morph Paynter and Corr we'd have a bloody decent forward for L1 level (minus Corr's injuries obviously).

Post by: Arriba on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:21:43 why isn't paynter a target man?
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:22:52 You'd think with his build he should be, but he just not good enough in the air to be a good target man. We can lump the ball to him all we like, but 9 times out of 10 the defender will win it.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: DV on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:25:07 because he isnt.
He's better with the ball at his feet because he can play a bit, I realise a target man can have the ball given to his feet but a STFC target man cant, its always hoof, hoof, hoof. He links up play well so obviously players better facing the goal rather than having his back to it. Plus despite being pretty well built most of the defenders are bigger than him. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:29:41 Our strikers lack of decent hold up play is a big problem in my opinion. Be interesting to see how many goals have come from this
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: michael on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:30:30 Steve Brooker on loan perhaps? A genuine target man, and a good footballer too.
Bristol City have just signed another striker so he'll be wanting some games. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Bennett on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:31:26 Our strikers lack of decent hold up play is a big problem in my opinion. Be interesting to see how many goals have come from this cox being on his ass for the first goal recently against yeovil might give you a decent starting point Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:31:32 As much as I hate that cunt michael, I think he'd do a job for us. Was he a Wilson signing at City?
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: michael on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:33:47 Think it was the season after Wilson left?
Brooker may be tied up with Doncaster though, think he was there then got injured. I'm sure they'd have him back. Bristol City have another fringe striker that would be worth a loan, John Akinde, who they signed from Ebsfleet. Tipped to go all the way to the top... Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: DV on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:36:55 cox being on his ass for the first goal recently against yeovil might give you a decent starting point Brighton? Brooker is a Doncaster player I thought. I also think we've probably conceeded more goals from set pieces, defensive errors, goal keeping errors and midfielders not tracking runners before we get to our striker not holding the ball up. Our first signing has to be a defender. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Arriba on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:39:05 who is the last striker we have had you would define as a target man peeps?
i think paynter is a target man,but the points said about him are correct too. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: michael on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:40:20 Fallon maybe? His control was better than Paynter's is, the ball just seems to bounce off of him all the time.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:40:33 Fallon was a decent target man.

Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:32:02 Why disapointed ost? We have needed one the last 3 games and previously paynter has been poor. Just on the basis that I would have thought we have much more pressing needs. But then I didn't go to the past three games so maybe we do need one.Meh! what do I know. On a totally unrelated note, I just noticed this emoticon :sofa: Does this remind anyone else of Catch Phrase? (It's probably just me) Look at Mr Chips, what's he doing? Say what you see... Shitting bricks?? Come down like a ton of bricks?? Good but not right!!! I'm not even pissed :o Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 20:49:50 Ha mr chips. On the paynter point i agree there are more pressing needs just dont think its fair on the defence who are under constant pressure due to others not holding the ball up.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: leefer on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 22:57:21 Fallon was a decent target man. Underated at Swindon...has played really well this season. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Arriba on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 23:01:17 i dont think fallon was underated here at all.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: leefer on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 23:13:31 Well he was underated by the management...thats why they loanrd him to Yeovil,when finally he got a decent run in the team he scored goals and generally played very well.
Mooney being in the team obviosly didnt help his early carrer at Swindon...oh for a Mooney or Fallon at the club now. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread.

Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: suttonred on Monday, January 5, 2009, 21:05:33 One month loans are a waste of time in my opinion. I'm not optimisitic we'll get anyone decent, certainly no one who'll want to make me turn up for their debut a la macca, I wait to be proved wrong, as it will indeed show if MM was the problem in attracting people, or if it's our general shiteness tha's to blame!

Obviously the guys on this forum think more highly of him Reevesy! Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 09:35:40 Saw Gary Sawyer play a few times both for Exeter in the conference and Plymouth in the Championship. He's young but decent enough, played regular Championship football last season. I think he was a part of the Exeter squad that drew at Old Trafford (that has no relevence to this but it's a nice side-note).
He never looked completely out of place in a Championship side. Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Tails on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 13:04:36 A Plymouth fan said this on another forum... Might be true then.
Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 13:05:59 Possibly - Sawyer has been injured a fair bit this season but in the last month or so he's been kept out of the squad.

Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: wheretherealredsare on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 20:30:47 Am I being unkind in thinking that our manager and board are procrastinating somewhat? I see other clubs signing players and read last week DW as saying “We’ve got a list of players and targets, and it will be the early part of next week when we sit down with the chairman and bounce a few things off each other..."
Or is this just the start of my early onset Bartmentia? Title: Re: The Epic Swindon Town January Transfer Thread. Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 20:34:59 Or is this just the start of my early onset Bartmentia? Maybe, he'll be here by the end of the week if no signings have been made.
