Michael Bridges

If fit he is good enough for this level, but like others I am concerned about his fitness. However, we do need strikers, and Teblin's Cottee idea ain't bad. Cottee was class for us. :)

He's 31 soon, yesterdays cripples, too unfit for canaries trial. No ta. It'll be as risky as a blindfolded Michael Owen set off across an Afghan minefield...without mines...just uneven surfaces.

What a pointless signing that would be, i'm not fully confident in Fryatt and Howard as it is but i'd go for those two above any of them with Bridges, shit idea for a signing.

Yeah but Cottee was class throughout his career. Bridges started out as a promising striker and has ended up a fat, lazy, waste of space.

Interesting one - I can't imagine he could command that big a wage, the man clearly has skill in abundance so would be good for the young lads, and he would be hungry and want to prove something.

True his ability to get injured a lot is a worry, but he could be worth a punt. I sense that we're not as an attractive option to players in this division as people would like us to be. (eg, West Brom, Boro, Newcastle, Sheffield Utd, Ipswich, QPR and even Forest appear to have attracted a calibur of player that we haven't.)

Again, this may not be a bad thing, Nigel has set his stall out as wanting players who want to play for the club and the desire to make something of themselves.

I am hoping this is a replacement for a departing Dickov not ASWELL as Dickov...

2 strikers very much the wrong side of 30 doesnt excite me at all....

He wasn't fat and lazy otherwize he wouldn't be a professional footballer. He was most probably stocky than anything else, I don't believe or think that footballers are fat otherwize they wouldn't be able to play sureley?

He was a very talented footballer and obtained a bad injury. Again, he is another quality player that has been ridiculed by injuries - join the list, Redknapp, Morris etc otherwize he would of most probably have been a Premiership striker.

Comparing him to Cottee is out of this world though. Cottee was a natural striker, like Kevin Phillips, where as Bridges isn't. The records are alike though (nearly)

M. Bridges

Games: 262

Goals: 62

Games played without scoring: 200

T. Cottee

Games: 603

Goals: 240

Games played without scoring: 363

Anyway, I wouldn't take him now. Lovely player though, quality finisher and has scored some great goals against us -

Hull and Carlisle at home!

What a beauty that Hull on was though.

But, overall, no thanks.

Why would we want Bridges?

He was once a ver good player who was injury prone, but if Carlisle didn't want him why would we need him?

But if we did at least he couldn't score against us in the future like he normally does vs us.
