Looks like we've missed out on our man...

http://www.stockport.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=203890

Would we drop Amankwaah for him though I wonder? I don't know how good he is, but I love Manky and JP linking up down the right and wouldn't want to lose that. Besides, if we were to get Caddis, he's far more versatile and would be more likely to be happy being backup than Mullins I'd imagine.

I think it means the man has missed out on us.

I might be wrong, but despite us having a mostly settled side last season, KA was left out for Darby on a fair few occasions, which is perhaps indicative that Mr Wilson is not entirely sure about him.

in my opinion big Kev is much better than Darby

Well he's not the most defensive minded defender is he, which might be why at times he wasn't played. He's a bit like Glen Johnson, only better at defending and not as fat.

I can't imagine that Rotherham would be in a position to offer better terms than us. This leads me to believe we never offered him a deal in the first place, or, we did but now we've got someone else lined up instead and withdrew the offer.

Hopefully this opens the door for Caddis.

^^ might have a good point there sambo

or that he would prefer to stay oop north!

Or he didn't fancy coming down south.

Or he doesn't like Dave Byrne.

Perhaps he's just a cunt.

Don't think Caddis will be happy to be backup here, he is on the bench at Celtic and has started games for them.  If he joins us on loan I am pretty sure it will be as first choice right back with Big Kev making way.

Was either for family reasons or we never offered him a deal. Cant see a player turning us down for Rotherham to play at the souless don valley stadium?

Guranteed first team football perhaps?

But Wilson is like the mountie (sp)  :D he always get's his man (Just like Poyet apparently  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:)

They have a new ground being built don't they?

Wiki says yes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Rotherham_United_Stadium

Rotherham is much closer to London (his spiritual home) than Swindon

Did Wilson ever mention him by name?

As far as I can tell he was only linked here because Stockport fans said we were interested in him.

who caught these people? i cant see the article.

As much as littering is annoying, if it was the police dont they have some proper work to do?

think you've had a mare there son!

Not recently he hasn't... I don't think. He mentioned him in Jan though didn't he?

Yeah.

That Johnny Mullins throwing his fag-ends everywhere. Fuck him.

ha ha ha - someone reading the Adver website as well then  :D

Tans - obviously that was a wind up  ?  Swindon is half the distance to London than Rotherham ?

Did I just bite .......... :fishing:

was it david unsworth that moved to villa because he thought it was close to everton then eventually moved to everton in the same month.

There were some news articles recently linking him with us (Adver, BBC) but I'd imagine they were just rumours, can't see anyone preferring Rotherham to us and they don't have much money to throw around either. I reckon Wilson is still going after Caddis as he's younger and gives more options, good chance he is surplus to requirements at Celtic.

I think we, and by that I mean football fans in general, sometimes underestimate how much personal and family circumstance can play a role.  Yes, we might be a division higher and offering slightly higher wages, but is this worth either uprooting your family or spending many nights away from them?


I don't know his personal circumstances, I'm just saying geography plays as much of a crucial role in footballer's career decisions as they do in anyone else's.  To make the point, if I was offered a job in Suffolk, which was a slight promotion and paid slightly more, I probably wouldn't see the decision to uproot from my home in North Shropshire as a "no-brainer".

Case in point - I'm willing to bet Walsall offered Jamie Vincent better terms than Aldershot - but he's moved to Aldershot to be with his family.

Suffolk is ACE!! It is where I am from. :D

The Adver did write an article on the 19th June saying Danny was looking to bring in Derby Mullins or Caddis whoever was available first.

It's near the bottom the article

or

Meanwhile, the Advertiser also understands that Swindon have three familiar transfer targets to add competition to their right-back spot.

With Kevin Amankwaah already in place, Wilson & Co are waiting on the outcome of Liverpool’s vacant managerial situation before trying to re-capture Stephen Darby on loan.

The 21-year-old put in a series of impressive performances at the tail end of last season to help Town to the League One play-off final.

However, they also have former loan target Paul Caddis and Stockport defender Jonny Mullins in their sight and will move for whoever becomes available first.

Celtic youngster Caddis can play in either defence or midfield, while Wilson attempted to land Mullins on a permanent deal in January and is looking to do the same.

The Adver is full of shit sometimes though :D

Danny Wilson had Matty Robson as transfer 'in reserve' last season. My guess is that Mullins was a target if another option fell through... Perhaps...

Hahaha!! I loved reading through the semi serious opinions of other posters during this thread, then BANG! BR comes out with this :D I think BR is my new favourite poster on this forum. Congratulations Sir

You're just hoping a bit of affection will win you the heart of a ladyboy aren't you?

Yes, yes i am

Well the Adver seemingly get their 'exclusives' from this site.

Don't forget the 80% bollocks...
