I heard Jamie's name being splashed about before, so there is a possibility he may be coming to us, but signing tomorrow i doubt, we would of heard more by now... but i think kingy is in talks with him.... would be a very good signing if we did get him though

We need battlers not bottlers. |

Scored 50 goals in two seasons for the Gas Heads in this division though Reg. He'd certainly be the best finisher at the club, were he to sign.

From all reports King has definitely been in contact with Cureton, remember King was the first to mention him so this rumour has some substance. Oldham were also interested but they think he may not want to go north and they're after Beckett. When King said "I am meeting more players today and have a plan to alleviate the loss of Parkin quickly. There is something in the pipeline," , I think he's referring to Cureton but whether he will sign I don't know. Could be 3 new signings tomorrow though. http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~679241,00.html |

ahh kingy what a god, finally we are getting the players.... hope they are awsome players.... cureton would be godly, especially playing along side rory... i bet charlie comyn platts one though, because he hasnt actually signed yet has he... i think its just a verbal.... and thorpe could be the other 1... that would be sweet as a nut

yeah but he has just spent a season in the championship, that has to be good if he signs for us while in league 1

Hurrah!! So excited about tomorrow lunch time, even more so than usual! (lunch is the highlight of my day  ) Would be a shame though, if two of them are Shakes and Comyn-Platt. Although King did say 3 exciting signings! It's hardly exciting if we already knew about them! |

I think you're a bit harsh Reg, his scoring record at league one level is not too bad.
11 in 34 1996/1997
13 in 47 1997/1998
28 in 54 1998/1999
23 in 51 1999/2000
28 in 48 2000/2001
16 in 42 2001/2002
9 in 15 (+ 15 sub) 2002/2003 (championship level)
I think he's not quite good enough to get a regular place in the championship which is probably why he's considering a drop down to this league but he could still score a few in league one.
He's not signed yet though and may not so we shouldn't assume he is certain to.
