  SWINDON Town manager Paolo Di Canio yesterday met with members of the consortium set to take over at the County Ground, as the sale of the club edges closer to completion.

Bit of a bugger Green is set to go to MK instead due to this football league non-ratification issue. I think a winger is our biggest priority for this emergency loan window with Ritchie gone and L. Rooney soon to follow. Hopefully Phil Spencer is already looking elsewhere.

Think he was looking at Allsopp

Is that because of the Phil Spencer link?

I wouldn't mind someone coming in to create a bit of competition, but I've liked the look of Roberts in the last couple of games. Think he's more effective on the right, and he'll get better with a run of games.

When De Vita got taken off at half time on Tuesday did Williams or Rooney go onto the wing?

On the radio they said Williams did

I haven't seen a lot of Rooney but I would say from my position high up in the DRS, Williams has the pace and a little bit of trickery to be able to do a decent enough job on the left wing. Against Shrewbury he had their RB tied up in knots on occasion.

We sort of played 3 up front, with Williams on the right of Collins and Rooney on the left.

I would have thought that Williams would have been perfect for the wing if needed, having started his career there and he plays the channels really well and has loads of pace.

Agree with that, running from deep suits his game play down to a tee. Would imagine he would thrive on balls being slipped through the full back & the centre half by Ferry. Always remember him tearing Lescinel Jean Francois to bits away at Rovers in 09/10 (although to be fair Lecsy never really was a l/b) ;D :D

No Danny Wilson did have a habit of playing some players out of position, love Lescinel but he will never make a left back!

HAD loads of pace.Looks very sluggish lately

I have only seen him on the TV game against Creepy recently so cannot comment really on that because the pitch was so shit it would have slowed down Usain Bolt to a crawl.

Virus. At orient he went past their right back, and i swear it's the fastest I've ever seen a man go past someone from a standing start.

And before that he was carrying a knock wasn't he? One way or another, he's not been 100% since before Christmas IIRC

Now then Jed, we don't want you interfering in team matters!

Wouldn't be surprised if we see the 'three up front with Williams and Rooney sort of wide' (patent pending) system again- from seeing the new improved Rooney at Creepy, him and Williams would make terrific wide-playing strikers. Williams chases back enough as is (when hes not got a virus)
