Some gimp on tht thisis board reckons we're about to sign Lee Peacock. Do you reckon that could be true? Is Rory on his way out? Is it bollocks?

It sounds kind if feasible.  What do you reckon?

I hope we dont sign Lee Peacock I really do, not that it matters. Whoever we bring in we're going down....

Plus he's hardly going to get us the 15 goals we need! How many has he scored for Wednesday 3, 4?

I hate Lee Peacock .. hes a bit of a Christian Roberts!

I wouldn't be at all suprised if Lee Peacock became a Swindon player... But I pray it's not because Fallon is leaving. Bristol City are bidding on an unknown striker. We're losing too many players to them (3 - if Fallon went there - is too many!). The fact Peacock is on a free only makes the rumours realistic I guess.

Cureton would be more likely to go.

Did you know: Lee Peacock named his daughter Cinderella Sky Peacock  :soapy tit wank:

i was told the same thing a few days ago, apparently onuora is just waiting for sheff weds to release him on a free then he's ours.

not sure what to think. he might be good for us, but then everyone thought that about thorpe & cureton. i would rather keep fallon if i had the option, but it doesn't look like we have a choice.

agree with fatbury, he does seem like a player with the 'christian roberts' attitude. we'll wait & see......

dont rate him at all, and he isnt a goal scorer. Whats his highest league total in a season at this level 9? 10?

and i hate that tattoo!

He's just as capable as Fallon, imo

I assume any signings are to be made irrespective of selling players.  We all know we need and want a striker with experience, he fits the bill, and I guess we can't really dismiss all experience strikers as a result of thorpe and cureton being disappointing.  He would be a good player IMHO, but similar to Fallon in some respects (I guess this heightens suspicions of his departure), unless we're just gonna play two battering rams up front.

14 for city in 03/04.  Seems to have scored fairly consistently throughout his career, albeit not at an amazing ratio.

From Radio Swindon:

In sport, Swindon Town are hoping to sign striker Lee Peacock from Sheffield Wednesday in time for him to play at the weekend.

The 29 year old former Bristol City forward, who's scored more than a hundred senior goals, is set to agree a permanent move to the County Ground as the Robins try to take some of the pressure off top scorer Rory Fallon.

Don't know that much about him so I'll give him the same chance as every other new signing.

well i hope he proves me wrong but ive always hated the bloke!

I think we've had enough of citys rejects now  :shock:

Well it depends if he still has it or not. Very physical player, does an unbelievable amount of donkey work, holds up the ball very well. Would be perfect for someone like Cureton.

I'm so fucking forgetful,but i can't remember who the fuck Lee Peacock is :oops: other than his name makes me feel quite pissed off and annoyed,some past life coming back to me i think :)

I think he's carry more of a threat than hoof-ball-inducing Fallon tbh

Fallon looks like he gave up on Swindon a month ago

The Peacock Files

Sheff Weds - 42(15) - 9 goals
Bristol City - 152(13) - 63 goals
Man City - 5(5) - 0 goals
Mansfield - 92(10) - 31 goals
Carlisle - 59(31) - 12 goals

Not too bad, works out just under 1 in 3 games during his career.

At least Peacock would bang in a few goals in  Division 4 if the worst happens. So on that basis I say it's a good signing. (when it happens)

he'd probably be a better partner for cureton than fallon

Definitely.  They are paving the way for Rory's departure either now or in the summer. Hopefully now so we can get some cash.

DV has gone super pessimistic, it's fucking annoying.

A strikers a striker and considering ours arent scoring maybe hes worth a go. You know the sh!t your in when the team below you spend £100K on a player who has proven himself in this league before.

Just seen this on the BBC site, looks as though it's happening.

Peacock set to join Swindon

Sheffield Wednesday striker Lee Peacock is on the verge of a move to Swindon Town.

It is thought the two clubs have agreed a deal and Peacock has chosen to join the Robins rather than Walsall.

A spokesman for Swindon said on Tuesday they hope a deal can be done within the next 48 hours.

Meanwhile, Wednesday have terminated the contract of young winger Richard Evans by mutual consent.

The 22-year-old was signed from Birmingham in 2003 and made 11 appearances for the Owls.

Wasn't Lee peacock the player hearts were after last season?

they just said about it on radio wiltshire.

Looks as though its going to happen then.I'm sure he can do a job, but i'm not going to get the bunting out yet,lets wait for him to sign and see if and how he plays on Saturday.
He's a Scot isn't he?

There was a newsreader called Chris Peacock when I was at uni. How we laughed

No i think you've got him confused with former Brizzle City striker Lee Miller.

Chris Peacock?

I don't get it.

Cinderella Sky Peacock?

Funny as fuck.  I so hope that is true!!!   UBER CHAV!!! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Close!

Peacock hasn't the best goalscoring record ever. Not sure what he'll do for us.

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=6199

Oh dear....  After all the abuse I gave him at the Reading vs. Wednesday fixture this season I feel guilty....  I like him, decent features, nice hair, sturdy legs.  Will look good alongside Rory.

There seem to be so many ex-shitty strikers around,i can't place Peacock either.I remember him and i don't remember him,if you get what i mean :wink:

Well when you're second bottom of division 3 you're not exactly spoilt for choice are you?

The words beggars and choosers spring to mind. That was in response to stfc fan btw.

He knocked in a few everytime i saw Wednesday on Sky last season, he cant do any worse than any of our other strikers.

He looks quite similar to Roberts - A bit Chavish.

I understand what your saying OST, but tbh 6 goals isn't very impressive is it in 18 months? I just hope I'm proved wrong and he does score the goals that keep us up.

Say it quickly. Like a newsreader. "I'm Chris Peacock". Repeat until funny

:shock:

When we signed Sam Parkin he had scored 4 goals in 40 games so give Peacock a fucking chance, he hasnt signed yet and he getting slated, get behind the team u cocks

He's alright by me.  Anyone who calls their kid 'Cinderella Sky' has a sense of humour which it the most important thing.  We need to sign more players with a sense of humour 8)

 :soapy tit wank:
Your right of course :) Although he hasn't signed yet :wink: .

I expect he only join us over walsall so he can go back to going out on the piss in Bristol, if he ever stopped in the first place

 Leaky pee cock.....may as well just sign in with the chavmeister in Hampshire.

 Was it Peacock or Lee Matthews who rasped in a 30 yd free kick for the Shitheads about 3 or so seasons back, when thye won 2-1 at the CG and Domenic Foley scored for us.

Peacock scored me does think.

 The more I think about the more I think it was Peacock....hell of a strike, suppose it could just have been a fluke....even Gurney has scored one free kick at the CG.

Yeah it was definitely him, checked the goals on world. Quality strike, though he does look a bit trimmer then. Maybe it's his hair.

can sum1 please upload the peacock free kick please  :soapy tit wank:

Don't know if this works

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/videoSearchClipStreamingController/viewClips?quality=1&clipList=11065%2C00%3A01%3A36%2C0%3A00%3A25-

spot on dude, cheers

Don't know why  I wanted to see that again...all that Burbury on those chavs, that Peacock goes into....hope he got a yellow....them chavs will be 4 years older now and are probably breeding profusely in Knowle and Hartcliffe....depressing thought.

i see Aaron Brown was celebrating with him

Will be interesting to see what chavs/neds kids will be like in 15 years time - feral i'd imagine.

Fat I'd imagine.

I dread to think.....

changing the subject back to lee peacock, i think he'd be a decent signing to be fair. good record at most clubs he's been at - particularly brizzle shitty - and we need a relatively experienced striker to provide competition for cureton and fallon.

he fits the bill.

 but sadly not his shorts.....I wonder if the bespoke Ruddock shorts are still around.

fatties ought to be embraced not mocked

i think he could be worth a punt tbh. but i hope fallon doesnt go! he cant do any worse than Cureton can he? Peacock had a good season for city a few years back before he joined wednesday. he has only scored 3 or 4 this season maybe becuase he had that long spell on the sidelines through injury i hope that hasn't made him a worse player if he joins us

Each to their own I suppose.

http://www.direct-2-you.net/catalog/images/imagecache/dvdgvcc.jpg

On the subject of Peacock after the foul taste left in the mouth from Thorpe and Cureton’s stints I’d much rather we opt for a younger gent on his way up the league.

Hawley at Carlisle gets my vote.  Looks like a bit of a SSP with a bit of pace to boost.  Certainly a fee involved but a worthwhile investment looking at his record this season.

Hawley is more like a Jon Stevenson who can finish!! a little fast player

I remember Peacock well from the game when we drew 1-1 at the county ground and 14,500 turned up  :shock:

He was up front with Roberts and they looked very dangerous together.

Both cocky little cunts too, and that Lee Miller was.

but when lee miller hit the post in the last minute  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That was funny  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Seeing 3,500 shitheads with their hands on their heads  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Who are you bloody bigfoot?

He's 6'+

I hope they washed their hands.....No i don't

Me and my dirty mind interpretated that in a manner not fit for young eyes

i'm not opposed to the peacock thing.

he's proven to be a decent player at this level and will fit in nicley with our hoofball tactics

And he will lead the friday night piss ups in town  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

With Jamie Cureton getting Roberts pissed along the way?!

We're a team of chav piss artists FACT!

great comment!

'so jamie what will you do if you win on saturday' 'buy christian a pint'  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

peacock could be a good signing i reckon. but when i say people are crap there good...so, he will be crap.

Johno, shut up. :mrgreen:

was meant to write:

when i say people are good there crap...so he will be crap.

 :oops:

drink drink drink drink drink

roberts reeves and peacock in a 3 day marathon!

id like to witness it, maybe even buy Reeves a pint!

You can buy me a pint if it makes you feel any better.

O joy!!

If you put a Reeves mask on i may do.....

From today's Adver :

If all goes to plan then Peacock, who will come in to bolster Town's attacking options, will pen a two-and-a-half-year deal.

I thought the days of us being in a position to stump up a 2 1/2 year deal were long gone !

 :shock:

hmm hope im wrong about him!

Under King you were all complaining about lack of team spirit.  Surely being out on the lash will merely serve to build team spirit?   :D

Sorry Lee for the abuse at Madjeski...  He's another signing I'm pretty excited about, reminds me a lot of Roberts.  If we ever get Roberts back, they could be a formidable partnership...  Plus they both have style.   :D

Chav my arse!

Also interesting that he chose us over Walsall.  Assuming he lives in Bristol, then Walsall isn't that much further than Swindon is. Given that we are in the relegation mire and they are not, I have to conclude that we have offered a fair bit more money than they did.

My thoughts exactly OST !

That's what the reports are coming out of Walsall.  We actually offered more in the way of wages.

Also rumours that Cureton has been spotted elsewhere this week on the Adver board.

He was at the ColU game last night

That's the one.

I think he's looking more and more like a done deal now.

I just hope to god that the cash is immidiately re-invested back into the first team.

If any more gets skimmed off the players budget it'll resemble a Jew's willy.

If Curo is sold - £50,000 i heard .. will we spend the money?

no.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  i love the way u live up to your pessimistic name

I can't say I blame Cureton for wanting to go to Col U one bit. He's gone on loan to a side who are on fire and scored a stack of goals for them.  Is he going to want to sign a permanent deal with them or go back to struggling Swindon where he will be in the relegation shit and starved of chances?

If we take our partisan hats off for a moment, I'm sure we would all do the same.

The sooner we get the deal done the better and we can get a replacement in, either on loan or permanently.

Quite right OST. I think Curo simply doesn't fit in to our team and that it is best he leaves for his sake and ours.

I think one big regret of this season could be not playing to the little man's strengths.

I agree DB.

Rightly or wrongly all focus has been centred upon playing to Fallon's strengths. This is fine if he is banging in more than a goal a game.

However, it states the bleeding obious that a club at the bottom of the table has a scorer on the leagues top scorer list. This only means that no other fucker is scoring.

Also, how many times has Fallon scored more than one goal in a game ?

Not many ! if never this season.

And we wonder why we cant turn drawers into wins !

 :wall:

drawers ??????

I AM having a bad day !!!

Fallon has scored twice once.....which is still more than Jamie Cureton  :roll:

I dont buy all this play to his strengths shit, we play hoof ball....I am sure Iffy doesnt ask them to play hoof ball. Im sure we dont practise hoof ball on the training pitch, but we play this way because our players panic and simply arent good enouged or controlled enough to play free flowing passing and movment football.

I would go and climb in one if I were you

if we dropped Fallon do you think we would stop hoof ball? When he was suspended and we played Cureton & Thorpe upfront did we stop playing hoof ball

:shake:

I don't think we will ever stop playing hoof ball, desperation has set in.

I don't think we are capable of not playing hoofball. We play the beautiful game in patches, but very far and few between

I think Iffy is going for the big and powerful approach. It works for Brentford, always look crap, always there or abouts in the playoffs. If it works and keeps us up I'll be happy.

The reason our defence hoofs ii has always been because they dont get enough protection from the midfield. They are under constant pressure at time, and so kick the fucker anywhere to get a breather.

It is just annoying, The passing game is far better to watch  :( One nods off watching head tennis

Thats not *always* true though, plenty of times Ifil had had an easy pass yet still hoofed it.

We play that style because we can, not because we have a big striker....we cant play any other way.

Yes Birdy, one does doesn't one.

(are you the queen?) :D

No not always, but it's a habit they have gotten stuck with.

As people keep saying, Iffy might not tell them to play hoof-ball, but he should fucking well stop them from the sidelines. I don't see him ever complaining about our style of play.

how do you stop a teaming play hoof ball though, you can shout at them all you want, you can train them all you want....but put them in a game situation and we will go back to that method.

We should be playing players that fit with out style, not changing our style to fit the players we have.

You cant ask footballers to do things they arent capable of...

Agreed.

My bad kneck has recovered having not got to a game since Col U on boxing day. Coinsidence, I think not.

Anyway, when start winning and are safe we can play "total football" until our hearts content. Oh.

My school of management:

"Oi, Jerel!  You useless clown! Punt that fucking ball aimlessly again when you aren't under pressure, and i'll dock you half a weeks wages..."

They'll learn.

I guess thats why Iffy is bringing players in that he says suits the style he wants to play DV.  At our level I believe that certain players just don not have the capability to do certain things, if they did they'd be above our level. All palyers at our level have weaknesses, the best managers balance them out and develop a style of play that minimises the weaknesses of the side.  I think the ongoing quest for the midfield shield has been an acknowledgement of our problems, ideally allowing migs to be more attacking and stop hoofing things.

That would be my style of management as well, but again that doesnt mean it will actually work....

Transfer list him if he disobeys instructions, and make him train with the youths. Iffy CAN (if he's any good) influence how they at least TRY and play.

then we'd have no first team  :shock:

I believe we dont play passing football because we cant, not because we dont want to....

We sometimes played some sexy football under King... :wink:

6 foot plus dazza?? look at this then,
suck my cock u twat


http://www.carlisleunited.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squad/ProfilesDetail/0,,10361~9955,00.html

We play hoofball because our players are generally a bit shit. this is also why we are a point off the bottom.

I agree that it is a regret that we cant play to cureton's strengths, that would mean we'd have a half decent team that is actually capable of playing football. Ifil is half the problem here.

In my view, the only way we are staying up is if Iffy can assemble a team that can play hoofball effectivley. Which is why signing Peacock, Paul Smith and the "unamed winger"  is a good idea.

:shock: http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/liebe/love-smiley-083.gif

Maybe we'll get a winger that can actually cross a ball, rather than run rather quickly in straight lines out of the field of play...

Signing another winger does alarm me a bit, we already have stroud,  nicolau, and brown on the left, shakes I guess is our only right winger as Roberts is the other option, but to have so many wingers might be overkill.  I guess if they're better than what we have it'd be great, hopefully like Paul edwards was would suit me.

oh...oh...oh...here it is, you mean like....say for example....someone really random....like...Nicky Summerbee?!

No, they need to be able to run as well :run:

...and Nicky Summerbee cant run because?

I agree completely. Looks like Iffy is building a fast and powerful unit (or trying to!) capable of battling it out with the best of them. Sounds familiar, Lou Macari anyone?

hes fucking old and well past it?

He has a point VD85

I don't know, he just never could? He used to sort of lurch oddly in a lopsided shuffle........ a bit like his dad.  But no pace ever, not even as a kid.

With the addition of the Cock are four experienced campaigners better than eight loan players with prospects?

I think so, none of the signings are exactly inspiring but when you look at the make up of the squad with the additions then you have a fairly balanced side with plenty of options.

I'd even say it looks almost like a side with prospects but I'll bite me lip there as that's what I thought at the start of the season.

I still think we're going down faster than Dave Russell on a glory-hole but it'll be disappointing if we don't make a go of it.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

He's only what 33 for Christ Sake, there is a difference between having no pace and not being able to run. So he wouldnt skin players for fun, just think how many wasted set pieces we've had this season....think how much better Summerbee's delivery would have been.

Pace isnt everything, look at Shakes bags of it and he is usless...

good wingers dont need pace..beckham i dont think has ever skinned a player in his life but i doubt you will ever see a better crosser of the ball again apart from gary neville

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I think we could do better than summerbee. The reason he got released from stuggling Tranmere after not getting many games is because is simply not very good any more. And as for being 33, he must have the liver of a 40 year old

Grunt sniff is a good example of a player needing to be able to do more than stand there and cross a ball well to be an effective winger.

Summerbee is from the past, and needs to be left there.

I agree with most of that, but I still think Summerbee currently is a better winger than Ricky Shakes and our set pieces have been awful all season.

Going by his performance at Gillingham, on current form I think I might be a better winger than Shakey. :|

A wide midfielder and a winger are differnt players IMHO, beckham isn't a winger, to my mind buzzer was winger in his day, ie he got to the by line and whipped it in.  Beckham makes most of his crosses from deep, and only gets away with the inferior angle of delivery because he's so precise.
