Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 12:38:12 Looks like King is making a move for someone, according to the official site, and has been given some budget 'leeway'
http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~691770,00.html All very hopeful Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 12:52:57 Cracking news, anyone got any speculative guesses as to who it may be?
Seems King thinks he's the next big thing, presume it's a Premiership youngster. Really hope we can take a sniff at Junior Lewis. We must be in with a punt after two spells in the past and he's looking to move back down Saaarf. Would be ideal to sit in that holding role behingd Migs & Whalley and can drop back into defence to tidy up those little mistakes. Unspectacular but he would fit the bill and suit the passing style of play. Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Sippo on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 13:00:32 I reckon it'll be a non-league player as "He is not a player that fans will know about".
Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 13:20:23 Or some French dude Sabin's agent recommended?

I was just bemoaning the lack of news of late...

Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 15:39:50 Number 15 was such a legend at Ciren :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Good news regarding the budget though, cant wait to see who hes got lined up. Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Whits on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 15:42:41 Quote Ex-international eh? Daniel Amokachi, you heard it here first :soapy tit wank: http://www.toffeeweb.com/images/PLAYERS/past/amobig.gif Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 15:44:58 King is doing his usual of bigging it up, before saying that a host of other clubs are interested......which so far this pre season tends to mean they go elsewhere.
I'd rather he just announced the deal when its done a la Nicolau. On RS Hadwin says the experienced international is being looked at as a part time deal, which seems a bit weird. Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: janaage on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 15:47:30 Part time deal? He'll only play for us on Monday, Thursday and Fridays. Maybe he's got kids to look after or something.

Maybe similar to what Ian Rush did when he joined Leeds, only training a couple of times a week? Hope not as he was a fat lot of good that season and then retired. Whits if it's Daniel Amokachi I'll be over the moon, it's almost in the same league as two of my all time favourites Valderama and Faustino Asprillia. I think he's a long time since retired now sadly. Steve Lomas? Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 15:57:25 Horlock? :wink:
Still at least if we get Amokachi on a free we can sell him for a mil in a months time like I did on CM many years ago. 8) Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: revels59 on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 16:00:49 One is from the non league that king likes.
The experience one is STUBBS you heard it here first..... :arsekisser: Thats me.... Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 16:01:27 Never heard of Amokachi. Perhaps he was good before my time?!
Or am I just being thick? Not to say that he is a bad player btw! Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 16:04:30 He played for Everton circa 1995ish R4E. Striker, never hit the heights for Everton though - definately should have bagged himself an FA Cup final goal too. Everton 1-0 up, not long to go, Schmichael goes up for a corner leaving an open goal which Amokachi fucks up!

I seem to remember playing snooker one day and the radio was on and he scored an absolute screamer after beating half the other side. Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: unclemark on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 17:33:08 I don't think that Alan Stubbs is the experienced one because I don't think he has International experience.
Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 17:35:18 Signed the non-league player apparently. No word on who he is apart from he's young and excites the manager. Minimal fee.
No word on the international. Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Sippo on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 17:50:32 Neville Southall? Ex international who can only train part-time cos he's put a bit of weight on and can only get to warnborough for training at a struggle.

Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: CARTMAN on Thursday, July 28, 2005, 23:15:39 king says he is looking for a loanee with experience and not a kid. the loan offer for the manure lad has fallen through then?

Maybe Jamie Redknapp ? Jamie Redknapp has now retired due to a dodgy knee, but sill has a lot to offer on a part time basis and he is an experienced international, and only lives in london. Title: Playing budget and new players Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, August 3, 2005, 15:09:49 In addition to Collins, King is still trying to bring someone else in but doesn't seem likely before Barnsley. Good to know theres still enough in the budget for one more though.
http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~694110,00.html This says he couldn't get Lee Holmes or Forest midfielder Eugene Bopp but is still looking for a midfielder.

No word on who he is apart from he's young and excites the manager. Minimal fee. No word on the international. Bloody radio! Shame about Holmes but it's good to hear King pushed for him again. Good to hear he’s still on the look out, four weeks to go until deadline day but as the clock ticks it only strengthens our hand with the freebies. Saying that it looks like it’s coming down to loans now judging by that interview. |
