Milky Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 I just hope we've not bought three duffers. when they're as cheap as chips.....
Flynny Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Three loan signings and some money in for an underperforming player. Two 22-year-olds and one old timer... I can't see how we'll be much worse off - except for being concerned about who these guys will keep out if they do not represent a genuine improvement. We might have missed Williams skills if he'd shown any signs of using them with any effect, but he hasn't really. So, presumably, we've got a bit of money in the bank, potentially a bit more to come, have not really lost an asset because his contract was ending anyway and have two players who might improve, plus one other for, I imagine, about the same wages as Williams was on just by himself. I just hope we've not bought three duffers. If they really are duffers, we've not actually 'bought' them, and as I understand, most loans can be terminated by the club for which the player is playing without penalty pretty much whenever. Difficult to see a downside, really.
Joe. Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 These are the replies so far on the Cardiff forum: hasnt had much of a chance here to be honest mate. Dave jones is fairly tough too, if you dont cut it your out basicallyhes a fast guy tho is glombard, may do wonders for you, good luck to him depends entirely on where he gets played, if its a as a striker he is worse than Andy Campbell with broken legs, as a winger though he is a lot more effective.
Simon Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Pity we can't manage a striker that is known for scoring some bloody goals. But we have the Horse
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 I like Glombard, he was very highly rated at Nantes I don't know where it all went wrong. I should think him being shipped out has something to do with Petter Whittingham. Seven appernaces his hardly giving him time to settle into England and the Championship. Very intresting signing.
Maybes Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Hopefully he will have bags of pace which you desperately need in the league we are in. 3 signings bloomin' heck what going on??
newms Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 A Cardiff fan started a post on the subject on the football 365 forum describing Glombard "as the worst player I have ever seen in my life" For a cardiff fan that has to be bad
Wycombe Fox Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 A big bloke up front and two wingers to get the ball to him...mmmmmm

Milky Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 They say he is an awful striker but a decent winger decent winger is just what we need
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Pity we can't manage a striker that is known for scoring some bloody goals. Horsfield can be reliable for grabbing the goals!!!
davieG Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Horsfield can be reliable for grabbing the goals!!! Not for the last few years!
filbertway Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Not for the last few years! New start, new horse , I bet he gets at least 10 goals this season for us. As long as kelly actually plays him and doesn't just give him 10 minute sub appearances.
syston_fox Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Not for the last few years! Scored the goal that kept West Brom up a couple of seasons ago..... maybe he'll have to do the same for us
Milky Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Not for the last few years! I'd say it was more the service that's the problem than the strikers themselves. I still think fryatt and hume can put it away, but they really do have to feed on scraps.
dandannieldanok Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Whoever he is he can't be that good if another championship club are willing to loan him out.

filbertway Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Trouble is he's far from fit and we have no means of getting him fit either. He doesnt need to be fit, old school goal hanging for the horse.

At least he hasn't got anything to live up to.

As long as kelly actually plays him and doesn't just give him 10 minute sub appearances. I'll take that bet. The last time he hit double figures was back in 01/02 98-99(nov) Halifax 7 Goals, 10 Games 98-99 Fulham 15 Goals, 28 Games 99-00 Fulham 7 Goals, 30 Games 00-01 Birmingham City 6 Goals, 34 Games 01-02 Birmingham City 11 Goals, 40 Games 02-03 Birmingham City 5 Goals, 31 Games 03-04(oct) Birmingham City 3 Games 03-04(jan) Wigan Athletic 7 Goals, 16 Games 03-04 West Brom 7 Goals, 20 Games 04-05 West Brom 3 Goals, 29 Games 05-06 West Brom 4 Goals, 18 Games

Like you said last time he hit ten was 01-02, after 40 games I've never rated him.
potter3 Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Most of those seasons he still had a goal to game ratio thats better than the current from our strikers
