The People's Hero Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Dave is a mate of mine so im obviously pleased that he has signed. when he was at diamonds he spent 2 weeks on trial at middlesborough, and they bid £300,000 for him...diamonds wanted a million and mc claren told them to do one. he also spent a week on trial at leeds when they were in the prem.would do a great job out on the wing, very rarely loses the ball and likes to get a cross in the box. good free kick taker as well who scored a good one against sunderland earlier this season. he was very very close to signing for west brom in january. he had said in the past that he would love to play for us...but this must have happened fairly quickly as he never mentioned anything about us coming in for him He's probably spent years wanting to play for us... I feel for him. Imagine how he'll feel when he arrives and actually plays a game.

Father Ted Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 He's a winger? I've never seen him play in the centre, he's not another jack of all trades is he? They said he can play in the centre aswell.
davieG Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 They said he can play in the centre aswell. That's so Ollie can appear to be playing square pegs in square holes when he lines up in the middle
Joe. Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Yep, quite happy with this one. Whenever I've seen him he's always looked decent, probably about his level in the Championship anyway. But the burning question- can he make a difference? He may be a good player but whether he can fit into this "team" and produce the goods is another thing.
The People's Hero Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 His name certainly has a nice ring to it.
Thracian Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 I did say some not all! I wasn't disagreeing with you. I'd just love it, for once, if I heard someone talking (realistically) about signings who've got "skills you rarely see", a "brilliant ability to unlock defences", "an accurate, shoot-on-sight mentality" or "finishing to match his blistering pace..." For me we've got plenty of hard work and I'm forever reminded of that insider who said "It's not brilliance they're looking for at City, it's people who will run all day closing people down, fit the system and do as they're told."
Flexx Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 This was off Wiki. 'He is a midfielder who has played mostly in the center and on the right side during the 2006/07 season for Luton.' Sounds like a Kishishev utility player. Hopefully he will actually play though.
The People's Hero Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Can see this becoming permanent - as Luton are fu cked. But what about all our other wide plays and Chris 'Doddsy' O'Gradel ?

Sounds like a Kishishev utility player. Hopefully he will actually play though. He's an attacking midfielder, not a full back come defensive tradesman.

I'm surprised it hasn't been sorted already, unless this literally was last minute and they will sort the bumflufferies of the permanent deal in a few days. I doubt Luton would just let us have him on loan, what would the point be? He's their best player.
Raj Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Hello? Hello Bellend!!! You still aint come up and said "hello" to me!!! When you do can you get me a coffee from the concourse please. Milk and no sugar(i am sweet enough,so alexiormonpopopopopopos said to me last night!)
Guest shearfox Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Can't argue with this signing, we are hardly flush with wingers and that shows by having to play hume or Hayles out on the left.

My guess is they will buy Mansfield Town and change it's name to Luton Town. It seems the obvious next step.

I know what you mean. think he does have the ability to beat a man though, but we'll see. Though whether you are skillfull or not hard work should go without saying.
The People's Hero Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Hard work? They don't call it Fouton Luton for nothing. Laiiiiiiid back... Laiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid back....
Legend_in_blue Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 I know what you mean. think he does have the ability to beat a man though, but we'll see. Though whether you are skillfull or not hard work should go without saying. I hope he does have the ability to beat a man on the wing. We've not seen that down here in years. The best at it was Guppy, class act. The only other who raised eyebrows now and then in more recent times, but in no way am I suggesting he was as good as Guppy, was Gillespie. Pity we had to let him go.
The People's Hero Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Guppy didn't need to beat the man, that was the point.
SystonFox Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 I think we should write to a loads of different clubs and ask them to lend us some players for one game as a social experiment so we have a team likeFrey Ramos Terry Heitinga Carlos Maxi Viera Deco Mancini Frutos Huntelar Manager: Guss Hiddink Then watch if play pathetically and draw 0-0 with Colchester at home. Ramos is out suspended i think and wtf you got Deco in there for? Oakley is 1000 times the player...
