Webbo Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 the lad who misses open goals for fun... It will be a poor signing if he comes, he works hard but can't score.I'd like to see an offer go in for Kevin Phillips as i don't see where the goals will come from. As I said I don't know a lot about him.I meant a big lad with a bit of muscle, the sort of role Cort would have if he were ever fit.
TheBlinding Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 Apparently he's rejected a move to Preston to stay and fight for his place at Watford.
Pete_foxes Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 ffs not Darius henderson. I think I prefer MDV. Didn't henderson score one goal last year from the penalty spot? anyway.. We've already got one Henderson, two would just be greedy
Webbo Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 If Fryatt is being sold to Watford then Henderson could be part of the deal.
Ashley Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 If Fryatt is being sold to Watford then Henderson could be part of the deal. If Fryatt And Henderson is a swap deal surely we should make some money on fryatt 500,00 maybe? Imo Henderson would be a poor signing KEEP FRYATT
Webbo Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 If Fryatt And Henderson is a swap deal surely we should make some money on fryatt 500,00 maybe? Imo Henderson would be a poor signing KEEP FRYATT Agree with the top and bottom bits, not sure about the middle 1.
Cheese Me Posted 29 July 2007 Posted 29 July 2007 I agree with all of it. Can't see Henderson adding anything or getting into the team and selling Fryatt would be a big mistake.
teblin Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 The sort of player we need, if corts nots going to be fit. But not sure he is the right player.
Stevosevic Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Henderson? If he joins that will be the first signing i will be moaning about.
wallin1704 Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 we should def keep fryatt not too sure bout henderson tbh dont know much about him but wouldnt want to get rid of in my opinion the best finisher at the club.
gosfox Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Please excuse my lack of knowledge but how old is Andy Cole now? he seems to have been around for ages
Thracian Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 we should def keep fryatt not too sure bout henderson tbh dont know much about him but wouldnt want to get rid of in my opinion the best finisher at the club. By what yardstick is Fryatt the best finisher in the club?
The People's Hero Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 By what yardstick is Fryatt the best finisher in the club? The same one that dictates that Andy King is without doubt and demonstrably the best passer at the club.
Thracian Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 The same one that dictates that Andy King is without doubt and demonstrably the best passer at the club. And who the hell has ever said that?.
Manwell Pablo Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 And who the hell has ever said that?. Oh, I think you have said something along those lines in the past. Darius scored quite a few goals when Watford went up, 15-16 odd in the league I think. definatley no Premiership player but he'd be alright as Championship squad player, if the price was right obviously.
Ric Flair Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Will Andy Cole be the ' Goal-Smith ' we've all been craving for?
The People's Hero Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 And who the hell has ever said that?. You did. You rated all our midfielders on 5 criteria. I forget exactly what they were but King came out as the TOP performer at the club (out of ALL of them) in THREE of those FIVE criteria, gaining a mark of 5/5 for passing where the best otherwise was 3/5. Dispute the minutiae all you like. It would just be interesting to know what YOUR yardstick is when you're so freely criticising others who think that Fryatt is the best finisher at the club! I look forwards to you completely missing the point and providing a list of honours Andy King has won at schoolboy level, a few senseless analogies and then perhaps a random anecdote from your squash playing past.

Don't forget Bill Shankley.

It is well known that I think Porter is the best passer in the club, Wesolowski probably as good on current form. The King assessment presumably referred to central midfielders at a time when Wesolowski was injured or not playing especially well. As for Fryatt - if you want to make a genuinely relevant argument about why he's the best finisher in the club I'm all ears. For my own part I think Hume is the best finisher in the club just now and has been for a while.
The People's Hero Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 My post had nothing to do with who was the best finisher at the club, it was regarding your 'right' to berate others for using questionable yardsticks when yours are laughable and non-sensical at best. And to touch on another issue, if Levi Porter is the best passer at this club, we wouldn't be a Championship outfit this season - nor would we deserve to be.
supernuk Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Firstly hello everyone... Secondly Get A.cole in we need a striker whos been there and done it. I predict he would bag 15 goals plus and play a mojor part.
meadwell5 Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 A.Cole would be good, but what city needs is a target man. Not a cart horse, but someone who can play football as well as hold up play and get onto crosses with their head, at present we only have Cort and donkey to to that and they r not good enough. I would love to see Rasiak from Southampton for example. mead
Kent Fox Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 I'd rather we bought a bag of coal. It would have more fire in it and would last longer than 90 minutes. This is a desperation buy. Please Milan, NO! (This is just my opinion and not necessarily the opinion of anybody else)
Geo V Posted 30 July 2007 Posted 30 July 2007 Andy Cole is surprisingly mobile for someone of his age. He obviously looks after himself because last season when he came on for Pompey he looked a right livewire. The problem with him is he went to Brum and got injured quite early for them. The last thing we need is a new arrival up front to be injury prone but it may be worth the risk, especially because of the experience he would be able to pass on to some f our younger forwards. The movement and timing of his runs are amongst the best I have seen.
