Title: God i hope not Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:28:13 Quote from: Adver TOWN are considering making an approach to bring Ben Tozer back to the County Ground, the Swindon Advertiser can exclusively reveal. Chairman Andrew Fitton is believed to be keen on recruiting the teenage centre-back from Newcastle United either on loan or on a permanent deal, less than two years after Tozer, pictured left and inset, departed Wiltshire for the north east. In January 2008, at just 17, the defender switched to St James’ Park on a four-and-a-half-year deal which could eventually be worth up to £1.1million for Swindon, despite only making seven first team appearances. And while Tozer, now 19, has been a regular for the Tyneside outfit’s youth and reserve sides since joining, he has found it hard to establish himself in the first team picture and has just one start - in the Carling Cup - and a solitary substitute appearance to his name this season. The Advertiser understands that Newcastle manager Chris Hughton would be willing to let the youngster leave the Toon on a free transfer as they bid to dramatically reduce their squad size and wage budget following last season’s relegation to the Championship. And this has alerted Swindon to the possibility of the talented youngster making a return, with the most likely scenario being in a back-up role to current centre-half pairing Gordon Greer and Scott Cuthbert. Town chairman Andrew Fitton played down the rumour yesterday, but admitted he knew that Tozer could depart St James’ Park on at least a temporary basis. “We are aware that Ben is available on loan either now or in the future, but we are not short of centre-backs,” he told the Advertiser. “To be honest, I don’t think I’ve seen Ben play and it is not an area we are urgently looking to strengthen, but what is increasingly happening in this league is there is a growing use of loans. “I think Leicester’s side which won League One last season had five loan players in it, and that shows it can be a successful venture. “It seems to be a growing trend and both Premier League and Championship sides have realised that they can give their young players good experience and a good learning environment by sending them to clubs at this level.” "Were not short of centre backs"? God i hope this doesnt happen, they let Morrison go out on loan and possibly attempt to get Tozer back? Lunacy! Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:30:14 Read the article, Tans. It goes on to say they've never seen him play and it is not an area they are looking to strengthen.

That doesn't seem that keen. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:33:02 The quotes in that story really, really don't match the actual content.
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 10:35:54 I still wouldnt want it to happen though.
Tozer is dogshite Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Batch on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:13:37 Wonder where this story comes from given the quotes don't seem to match the article!?
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:15:58 The reporter's mind.
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: DV on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:28:18 Morrison > Tozer
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 12:31:18 Morrison > Tozer Well, that'd be difficult to argue given his last two appearances at first team level - error leading to goal at Walsall, and first half sending off for Southend Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:10:16 Morrison > Tozer agree but.morrison=fee tozer=free.kerching!!! Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: DMR on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:28:43 Morrison > Tozer I'd say Morrison = Tozer, i.e. people use their youth as an excuse for actually they're both a little bit useless. Get a wiley old pro in. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:39:42 There is only quotes from Fitton and the last time I looked it was actually Wilson that decided what players he wanted, and I don't think that a CB would be in his thoughts with Aljokefree & Morrison able to play there and LJF can move accross as well, more than likely a centre forward and a right winger he is after for when he sends back the other loan's
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:41:56 Casal played for the stiffs to get match fitness for an impending return to the first team.
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 13:46:14 The next person who uses "Aljokefree" should be banned.
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:03:05 The next person who uses "Aljokefree" should be banned. 100% agreed. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:10:17 Not just the next person, but everybody who's ever used it.
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: DV on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:19:47 Well, that'd be difficult to argue given his last two appearances at first team level - error leading to goal at Walsall, and first half sending off for Southend Well, you've certainly changed my mind. If he's had 2 bad games we might as well take him out back and shoot him. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:21:07 I've been saying that about our players for ever!
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: DV on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:27:14 Also I agree with BR. Ben can't you set it up the 'A' word comes out as something totally different but not fatbury related
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:34:46 Also I agree with BR. Ben can't you set it up the 'A' word comes out as something totally different but not fatbury related Nope. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 14:51:19 Well, you've certainly changed my mind. If he's had 2 bad games we might as well take him out back and shoot him. How much of Tozer's career have you seen to allow you to make such a statement ? Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: adje on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:42:38 How much of Tozer's career have you seen to allow you to make such a statement ? I think he meant Morrison Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:52:39 Nope. Surely you can you lazy bum. we already have soapy tit wank Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:54:27 No I really can't.
I gave up my mod powers ages ago. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:55:46 Oh my.
I'm not sure whether to be upset or angry Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 17:59:48 I would have changed it to "Aljofree (who's massively underrated and should be given a chance)", if that makes you feel any better.

Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: leefer on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 20:46:35 Theres a few on here who really should take a little time to think when making comments on players...comments the players could see themselfs...comments you would be first to critisise if they were on Thisis....no wonder players want to leave the club...Morrison has only just turned 19 years old..ALWAYS gives 100% has scored goals can launch the ball miles.....and above all has been a first class pro...none of this big i am stuff like alot of youngsters...for what its worth i feel hes been unlucky this season because of Greer and Cuthberts form...he did a great job last season...yes he makes the odd mistake and they cost a team buts thats what happens when younger players get in the team.....how can anyone judge Tozer..seem to remember a few of you calling Lucas J shite....ide have him back here tomorow...JPM been top notch this season under Wilson whos to say if Tozer came back he wouldnt impress....weve all got our opinions but to slag Morrison is something i cant quite fathom myself.
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 20:50:36 Has anyone slagged Morrison off?
I said tozer was shit, and it was lunacy they let Morrison go. Unless your on about DMR, then fair play :) Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: leefer on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 20:56:24 Has anyone slagged Morrison off? I said tozer was shit, and it was lunacy they let Morrison go. Unless your on about DMR, then fair play :) Three on the first page having a dig comparing Tozer with Morrison...not blind are you?...get real you cant compare......whats your reasons for saying Tozer is shit....ive only seen him twice...you been to Newcastle lately? Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: girlyred on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 21:04:32 Good comments Leefer i totally agree and Sean i still 18 until January
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 21:05:43 Its not really a dig is it? People just saying Morrison is better.
As for my reasons regarding Tozer, i have seen him play a couple of times and he was shite. Just my opinion like. Their on about releasing him arent they? Halfway through a 4 year contract. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 21:09:05 They're footballers, isn't it fair to make judgements on their potential and limits of footballing ability?
If I was having a go at them about a lack of knowledge of 17th century literature, then that might be a bit unfair. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 21:09:54 Simon Cox > Shaun Close
Is that fair?

Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: nevillew on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 07:38:08 I think he meant Morrison Thankyou. I was referring to his original assertion that Morrison was '>' than Tozer. I quoted the wrong statement. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: nevillew on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 07:40:12 So what happens in January then? Clearly, he becomes 19. Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 08:45:13 Yeah, but does that mean we can stop forgiving him for being a bit shit in some games?
Title: Re: God i hope not Post by: nevillew on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 10:04:50 Yeah, but does that mean we can stop forgiving him for being a bit shit in some games?
