Title: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:21:33 Quote DANNY Wilson is lining up Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle for County Ground loan spells, while top scorer Simon Cox has dismissed rumours linking him with a transfer window exit from Swindon. Town’s manager was locked in talks yesterday afternoon with chairman Andrew Fitton about transfer targets and budgets. And the Swindon Advertiser understands the boss has identified Craddock, a defender, and Scotland international frontman Kyle as the men to help lift the team away from the League One relegation zone. The pair could arrive in Wiltshire in the next few days, and could make their debuts against Stockport on Tuesday night if tomorrow’s clash with the Hatters is postponed, as expected. Wilson has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his new side with some experienced players, and Craddock and Kyle fit the bill at both ends of the pitch. Big target man Kyle, who is under contract at Coventry, had a successful loan spell under Wilson at Hartlepool earlier this season and has made eight Scotland appearance. Wilson has always been a big fan of the 6ft 3ins striker, who scored five goals in 15 games at Victoria Park, and believes he would serve as the perfect foil to Cox. Wolves centre-back Craddock started the season as captain at Molineux, but suffered a broken metatarsal early in the season and has failed to regain his place as Mick McCarthy’s side top the Championship. The 33-year-old has played just two league games so far this campaign, but would provide some much-needed experience and leadership to Town’s leaky back line. Meanwhile, in a massive boost to everyone at the County Ground, 16-goal hit man Cox has committed himself to the club - insisting he will still be a Town player when the transfer window closes at the start of February. National reports yesterday linked the former Reading player with a possible switch to Premier League sides Bolton, West Ham and Fulham, but the striker insists he’s going nowhere. “I’m not leaving at the moment - I can’t state that enough,” claimed Cox. “I don’t think anyone’s come in with any bids and I’m happy here. If there is any truth in it then I don’t know anything about it. “I’m waiting for the window to close and we’ll see where I am at the end of it, but I would expect to still be here.” http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindontown/news/4033641.Wilson_eyes_loan_stars_Craddock_and_Kyle/ Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: RobertT on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:27:51 Craddock sounds like a bit of good business, possibly combined with lucky timing as he's not really the sort of player you'd expect to be available on loan mid season. Kyle, I know he has his knockers, will be in to provide the foil to Cox as an alternative to the recently hot and cold Paynter. All in all, they look like they should add something to the squad, which is good. Would like someone in the centre of midfield if we can manage it.
Quietly impressed by Wilson so far. Then again, I always called for Malpas to have more time, even at the very end! Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Sippo on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:29:53 Just posted this in the rumours thread aswell.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:30:47 Too slow Christopher.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Sippo on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:44:01 Well I thought it wa the right place to put it :wink:
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: janaage on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:51:57 Kevin Kyle eh? Tbf to the bloke he'd probably do a good job for us at this level, but as I said last week I'm still gutted he managed to get a Scotland cap out there when there are better players than him out that that haven't, I mean I played 3 seasons in Bromham's Reserves and I never got the call up under Berti.
(expects that's because you're english comeback). Craddock's getting on a bit but he should still have the fitness to do very well for us, always thought he was a good player at the Mackems but haven't seen much of him at Wolves. I'll speak to my Wolves supporting mate at work to see what he thinks of him. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Nemo on Friday, January 9, 2009, 08:53:10 Kevin Kyle eh? Tbf to the bloke he'd probably do a good job for us at this level, but as I said last week I'm still gutted he managed to get a scotland cap out there when there are better players than him out that that haven't, I mean I played 3 seasons in Bromham's Reserves and I never got the call up under Berti. (expects that's because you're english comeback). I would say because you're English but that doesn't seem to stop you getting in the Scottish national team: McEveley, Commons, Parkin et al. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: STFC_Gazza on Friday, January 9, 2009, 09:09:23 Kevin Kyle eh? Tbf to the bloke he'd probably do a good job for us at this level, but as I said last week I'm still gutted he managed to get a scotland cap out there when there are better players than him out that that haven't, I mean I played 3 seasons in Bromham's Reserves and I never got the call up under Berti.

I'll speak to my Wolves supporting mate at work to see what he thinks of him. Cheers for the summary on Kyle, Craddock does get me a bit excited I must say. He is the kind of player we need, Someone to lead and sort out the defence. Wonder if any chance on getting him permanently? Craddock could effectively play the Ady Williams role in L2 here so... Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, January 9, 2009, 09:19:29 Craddock should do a job if he's match fit. I've seen Kyle play several times for several clubs over the years and he's never impressed me (including throwing the funniest hissy fit after being taken off for Coventry). However, it's signings and they have experience.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, January 9, 2009, 09:46:33 Its all very well discussing the plus and minus but i think its great we have a manager who can set up deals like this......Poor old MM would be scraping non league....
Anyway.....proof of the pudding is in the eating! Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, January 9, 2009, 09:46:48 Like others Craddock seems exactly the type we need. would be an ideal signing as long as he's fit enough.
As for Kyle, it makes sense in some ways, even if I dont think he particually good. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: axs on Friday, January 9, 2009, 09:59:44 Its all very well discussing the plus and minus but i think its great we have a manager who can set up deals like this......Poor old MM would be scraping non league.... Anyway.....proof of the pudding is in the eating! He's got to do the deal yet, nothing confirmed so far. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, January 9, 2009, 10:23:05 He's got to do the deal yet, nothing confirmed so far. Thats why i stated 'proof of the pudding is in the eating'.........as in....lets see if he actually gets them... Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: janaage on Friday, January 9, 2009, 10:29:54 Just spoke to my Wolves mate, he thinks as we would really, Craddock would do a good job for us, not so impressed with Kyle, but then again who is.
Still think both players would be good acquisitions for us, in our current state, although this says more about us than them! Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: juddie on Friday, January 9, 2009, 10:46:36 craddock would be immense.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: yeo on Friday, January 9, 2009, 10:52:43 I can't see why we need Kyle.
Id prefer Jeremy Kyle. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: overthehill on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:08:57 Or Kylie
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Colin Todd on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:11:48 "In 2006 Kyle received the dubious nickname of "Scaldin' Balls" from the Daily Mirror, a parody of David Beckham's "golden balls" nickname, after Kyle missed one of Sunderland's matches after scalding his testicles with boiling water whilst feeding his young son.[8]"
Shit nickname, superb random injury Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: overthehill on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:14:14 "In 2006 Kyle received the dubious nickname of "Scaldin' Balls" from the Daily Mirror, a parody of David Beckham's "golden balls" nickname, after Kyle missed one of Sunderland's matches after scalding his testicles with boiling water whilst feeding his young son.[8]" Shit nickname, superb random injury Bit dangerous feeding the kid with boiling water I feel. Does that count as child abuse? Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: janaage on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:15:43 Was Fred in the near vicinity when that "injury" occurred?
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Dazzza on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:22:17 All good stuff.
Kyle is well on the way to becoming the white Trevor Benjamin with the amount of clubs he’s been tooting about on loan. An extra stalk I suppose that gives Cocks and Balls a foil or the option to stick two big lumps up front. Craddock is superb although it all depends on fitness and how rusty he is. But he’ll come good eventually with games and with any luck it’ll be a three month effort. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: reeves4england on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:24:12 Craddock would be a great signing. I don't remember even seeing Kyle play but given that Paynter has been struggling to find form recently he could be a good signing - as rubbish as Scotland might be you still have to be vaguely decent to get in the team. Unless your name is Chris Iwelumo.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:25:44 Is it wrong I goggled them to see if either of them were hot??
for the record neither of them are Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Batch on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:59:04 "In 2006 Kyle received the dubious nickname of "Scaldin' Balls" from the Daily Mirror, a parody of David Beckham's "golden balls" nickname, after Kyle missed one of Sunderland's matches after scalding his testicles with boiling water whilst feeding his young son.[8]" Shit nickname, superb random injury That is up there with the Sammy Igoe series of unfortunate injuries. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: DV on Friday, January 9, 2009, 11:59:22 Happy with Craddock, not keen on Kyle....
We'll see not even done deals yet. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Power to people on Friday, January 9, 2009, 12:08:18 Is Kyle the one that we was supposed to be signing from Sunderland on loan under Andy King and he made it to the train station as we was given a transfer embargo or am I thinking of someone else ?
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Arriba on Friday, January 9, 2009, 12:11:40 craddock is a very good player.dunno how fit he is though? kyle is not so exciting
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Dazzza on Friday, January 9, 2009, 12:19:06 Is Kyle the one that we was supposed to be signing from Sunderland on loan under Andy King and he made it to the train station as we was given a transfer embargo or am I thinking of someone else ? There was definately a link and King wanted him on loan for a season or a decent term from his mate Fucking Monkey Head up in Sunderland but I thought he bombed it out as he had broke into the first team. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:05:17 Is it wrong I goggled them to see if either of them were hot?? for the record neither of them are Is that googling with goggles on? Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: DMR on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:10:46 I've always thought Craddock was a bit shite but then that was top flight lark so perhaps he could do a job. Didn't he score an own-goal hat trick once or something like that?
The 2 Sunderland fans I know both hated him, and didn't Sunderland fob him off to Shef Utd once they went up anyway? Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: reeves4england on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:15:31 Craddock spent a few months on loan at Sheff Utd during Sunderland's first season in the Premiership, then moved to Wolves in 2003 when they got promoted. According to Wikipedia.

You're thinking of Sean Thornton is who is at Orient I think. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Crozzer on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:36:17 Major John "Johnnie" Whitby Cradock, (17 May 1904 Lambeth, London, England[1] - 30 January 1987 Basingstoke, Hampshire, England [2]) was a cook, writer and broadcaster and the fourth husband of television cook and writer Fanny Cradock. He attended Harrow School and served in the British Army, reaching the rank of Major in the Royal Artillery. He is best remembered as being the long-suffering stooge for his wife in their popular United Kingdom cooking programmes which were shown from the 1950s to the 1970s. Wearing a traditional blazer and sporting a monocle above his trademark handlebar moustache, he would remain around the back of Fanny's studio sets awaiting her imperious commands which, when they came, often resulted his being berated for being too slow. With his wife, he wrote a number of cook books (see below), which were popular reading at the time. Johnnie and Fanny also wrote the "Bon Viveur" restaurant column for the Daily Telegraph newspaper from 1950–1955. This was one of Britain's first restaurant columns and led to their first television series in 1955. At first they presented the BBC's "Kitchen Magic", but were soon poached by ITV's first cooking programme, which they presented as "Fanny & Johnnie". At that time Johnnie and Fanny were not married. Fanny adopted his name for their writing and television work and they eventually married in 1977 Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: DMR on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:40:51 You're thinking of Sean Thornton is who is at Orient I think. No, I'm not. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Arriba on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:42:30 if i remember rightly, craddock lost a child in tragic circumstances a few years ago
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: yeo on Friday, January 9, 2009, 13:58:55 No, I'm not. I think you'll find we know your thoughts better than you! Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, January 9, 2009, 14:05:53 if i remember rightly, craddock lost a child in tragic circumstances a few years ago Sadly true, his baby suffered cot death. I remember a TV football commentator talking about it in, what I thought at the time, too much detail. Just say a family bereavement and move on. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, January 9, 2009, 14:55:46 unrelated but I only found out the other day that Kris Commons lost a child as well and he nearly gave up football because of it.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: alanmayes on Friday, January 9, 2009, 15:45:47 Is Kyle the one that we was supposed to be signing from Sunderland on loan under Andy King and he made it to the train station as we was given a transfer embargo or am I thinking of someone else ? Kingy was interested in getting Kyle here,but the player at the station who had to do an abrupt turnaround was Thomas Butler.He's the Irish winger who's now with Swansea.Craddock would do a very good job for us i'm sure.We need an experienced leader at the back. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Power to people on Friday, January 9, 2009, 16:29:58 So which of our strikers will be first to go then....I'd say it will be Corr going on loan somewhere, come to that which of our defenders will be first to go ?..I reckon Hasney to the knackers yard
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, January 9, 2009, 16:53:05 I reckon Hasney to the knackers yard Is this the official term for "The North West" nowadays :) Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, January 9, 2009, 17:10:15 Craddock is the sort of thing we need, so let's see....Kyle is the sort of thing we don't need, retrograde step for me.
Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Bennett on Friday, January 9, 2009, 17:36:23 kyle will hold the ball up, something most people were highlighting was a failure in our current squad.
i think both would be good signings Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, January 9, 2009, 18:03:34 Craddock has a fairly good pedigree..Kyle does not...but I wont judge a player before I have seen him play in the Town shirt.
Kyle may well hit some form for us and really hit it off playing alongside Cox, who knows.....dont write him off before hes even kicked a ball. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, January 9, 2009, 18:07:28 It started reasonably well for Kyle in fairness... It's since his move to Coventry that it's all gone wrong.

Or BP, because Cox has been sold. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: DV on Friday, January 9, 2009, 18:21:50 174 games 26 goals.
A goal every 6.7 games. Title: Re: Jody Craddock and Kevin Kyle Post by: alanmayes on Friday, January 9, 2009, 18:42:51 Jody's a talented guy,just check out his website...
