The QAS of 99/00 had the likes of Mark McCammon, Michael Meaker and Wayne Gray on loan.....all terrible, + a collection of youth teamers nowhere near ready for second tier football. However Quinny also got in Michael Carrick, arguably in the top 5 English players of the 21st century.
The previous season....had some stumers.....Neale Fenn, Des Linton and Shayne Bradley.
I wonder if Carrick has ever played behind a less potent front two than Jimmy Quinn and Alan Young (which I think he did at home to norwich on a Friday night.) Makes Obika and Norris look positively threatening. |

Don't think that ever happened....the Norwich game was Hay and Iffy. He did have Charlie Griffin in front of him at Maine Road, which probably wasn't much fun. |

Just by goal ratio to games he looks a good player, signed for Barnsley but obviously didn't work out so went back to Cambridge after 1 season...... This rumour might have legs as they say |

Steve Berry had an interesting STFC career....10 starts in all comps, but only against 6 different teams.

He's also only 5ft9 so would fit in well to our midfield. 😉 |

I would be very happy if we resurrected the player manager role which has served us well in the past and Michael Carrick filled the role. |

Its now 1206 and nothing on this thread in terms of rumours today...... no scarves above heads, no Steve Lomas, nothing!
Don't think I will be going to Bolton in the absence of any sock blowing offage!

Seems pretty quiet across the board at the moment.

I would have thought that Power, Sherwood would have been working on transfers early on when Timmy came in, so I am surprised that they have not got a couple in early knowing we are in desperate need, and with the QPR duo returning you would again imagine they knew about this a week or so ago, so again would hope they may have others lined up.
Let's hope we don't get to 31 Jan wondering how many we will sign at 2359
