Realistic Targets?

[benji_turner]

Were we after Johnny Mullins of Stockport at some point as cover for Right back/Centre Half during the season? Probably worth a go?

[Don Rogers Shop]

Sorry Fred.  I must be wrong if you think I'm daft.

Fallon and Austin would be shit.  No way a big target man would work with Austin. 

Amazing how many players do well in the last year of a contract at swindon isn't it.

He went somewhere...can't remember where though....so no.

[Fred Elliot]

Paynter was shit at Southend.  Then he came to us.

and he was not all that until Wilson got hold of him.

Wilson will do the same with Pericard, do you honestly think we would have paid good money for him and given him a perm contract if Wilson did not think he would turn good ?

[Reg Smeeton]

 Think we should consider that Alex Revell was a striker who interested Wilson, ie a player he liked the look of with no great record. You could compare Revell with Paynter, namely cost a few bob, but not getting a regular game at Sarfend.

The punt on Revell, I suspect would have turned to a transfer, but Austin made it unnecessary.

Mullins' contract is up at Stockport...Leyton Orient are being linked with a move for him. Not a mind blowing signing, but with Amankwaah pretty much first choice...could be a decent shout for backup.

agreed Reg.....................my point being, Revell was "with a view to sign". Vince he just went out and got

To be fair Fred, I never said anything about Pericard.  I hope he turns out to be a success and I do trust Wilson's judgement.  We still need to replace Paynter in the squad though, and I just thought if Fallon was available it was a good idea worth thinking about.

A bit unfair perhaps - I've only tried to give an opinion.

I've posted that I'm sure Wilson sees Pericard as the Paynter replacement, we have to be a bit realistic about other likely incomers, and it looks like a couple of young loanees.

I suppose BP going frees up a wage....but I'd rather see it spent on getting  Ferry and Sheehan in

absolutely

I said in the other thread that I am sure that it will be Vince and Charlie to start next season with another Ward type player to supplement

[Fred Elliot]

True, but you were the one that bought up the big man to play alongside Charlie. Thing is we have one who Wilson rates.

The talk about Fallon would be credible if he was good ....................... enough

Fair enough.  I was more responding to the "don't be daft" comment about Fallon and Austin.  I still think it could work.  I do hope Pericard comes good though.

I'm pretty thick skinned usually, but the "only posting for effect" thing probably got at me.  I'm sure I'll get over it.

Fallon will surely be the only one of the 700+ footballers at the WC who was our player.

Golden boot then...
