he must miss his mums cooking

definitely....or rumour?

Then we must be bringing someone in.

For a weekend break?

Good luck Blair, always had time for him, nice fella.

He has been openly critical of Danny Wilsons handling of his use on the bench lately....no surprise...no loss.

Methinks DW must have a striker lined up for a loan as backup at least to Paynter and Cox then.

He has?

Still nothing yet ;)

ooooh elaborate - I need some goss in my life

Sounds like we are paying a good chunk of his wages too - although we do have a 48hr recall.

United Chief Executive Colin Lee was keen to stress his gratitude to Swindon Town during the negotiations for Blair's loan to the Gulls: 'I would like to thank Swindon Town and Danny Wilson for their support in allowing Blair Sturrock to join us. They have understood the financial budgets that we work under at Plainmoor and have been extremely helpful from that point of view regarding our wage structure.

He has indeed.

In an interview before the Leeds game recently he said he was dismayed by DW's changing around of subs and not giving him a chance and preferring Razak to him.

Cant remember the interviewer but he was shocked that Sturrock used a naughty word (his words) in descibing his disbelief of the decision!

Oh well if hes being like that he can bore off - he will probably find his level in League 2

The striker he had lined up for us is not coming now, DW wouldn't guarantee him first team football!

Enough with the cryptic nonsense, just name names whether it's rubbish or not  ::)

Nile Ranger's name has been bandied around might well have been him.

If Sturrock is too good for our bench then why doesn't daddy buy him?

Razak excites me more anyway.

Bring on the headless chicken.

Surely we can offload a few more?

Ummm, torquay are in blue square premier...

Beleived to be a striker from Barnsley, Odejaki (or something like that!) who has just returned to them from Scunthorpe where he had been on loan!

Now, that wasn't so hard was it :)

so, basically what was in the paper a few days ago then

In the Adver on Tuesday -

“We’re talking to a club and it’s about availability,” admitted Wilson, who is thought to have run the rule over Barnsley’s Kayode Odejayi, with the front man’s one-month loan at Scunthorpe expiring this week."

Correct, but he turned down the move as we wouldn't guarantee him first team football!

DW was clearly considered him as a back up then. Can't be easy to drop Paynter as he has been playing well. Some loyalty shown to Paynter me-thinks.

It would be nice to have a back up though because we are looking a tad thin on strikers now. (Excuse the stating the bleeding obvious)

Odejayi made 1 full start and 5 sub appearances, scoring 1 goal for Scunthorpe,yet he demands
a guaranteed first team place with us  ::)

Fair play to Wilson, heard his interview earlier.

What did he say? Was it why Torquay are so grateful?

Whilst Sturrock puts in the effort, you can't get away from the fact that he just ain't good enough. We have far too many players on our books like Sturrock and the sooner we get rid of them the better, for every few we get rid of we should be able to bring one decent player in.

Blair's loan has a 24 hour recall after one month but Danny Wilson was keen to stress to us that he will do all he can to make sure Blair can remain with us throughout the remainder of our season.  :bye:

Sounds like Wilson doesn't take any crap from anyone.

good pro who always has given 100% for us.hopefully he will do well for torquay to get a permanant move there

I liked Sturrock's effort, his scoring record wasn't bad.

If Torquay are promoted, that's where I think he will end up.

Do you think we can give them Peacock as well?

yeah why not,and ifil,pook,allen, etc etc

seconded, always seemed like a decent chap.

That Odejayi never looked that special to me anyway.  Anyone remember his miss in the cup last year? 

:nod: Hope he does well - works hard, underrated by many, never deserved some of the crap he took

Good luck Blair.

Think a lot of people could get passed the perceived nepotism Paul.  Which says more about some of our fans really.

"DMR in banter without abuse shock!"

- I prefer the TEF DMR.

Favourite Blair Sturrock moment was when he got subbed on against Forest Green in the FA Cup to a chorus of boo's and then promptly scored the winner! :D

Good luck Blair.

He's a good footballing brain trapped in a bad footballing body. If Torquay were to build him a mechanised roboskeleton with steam-powered legs he could be a twenty five goal a season striker. 

Good luck Blair, good luck Torquay's roboscientists.

Good luck to him, he is clearly not a L1 player, and only got a contract due to Daddy being the manager at the time, hopefulyl he will find his level and thrive.

best game i saw from him was vs forest i reckon.he was superb that day

Sounds like he had a good game yesterday scoring on his debut.

And he hit the bar from 35 yards apparently.

We need to get Pook out on loan.

Both of them looked good at times against the lower teams in L2.

Agreed - Good luck Blair
