Happy Fox Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7354011/? skysports.com understands a host of Premier League and Championship sides are tracking Motherwell winger Chris Humphrey. Flying wide-man Humphrey has been earning rave reviews in the SPL and his performances have alerted a number of clubs in England and Scotland. Scouts from Premier League and Championship clubs have been flocking to Fir Park to cast an eye over the 24-year-old. It is believed representatives from Swansea, Sunderland, Newcastle, Bolton, Leicester,Birmingham and Rangers were all in attendance for Friday's game against Hibernian, only for the game to be abandoned at half-time due to an electrical fire. Humphrey, who has virtually been an ever-present in the Motherwell side this season, has established himself as a key player in Stuart McCall's side and the Lanarkshire club are bracing themselves for bids for the wide-man when the transfer window reopens next month. Motherwell would be reluctant to lose Humphrey, but they would find it hard to reject any sizeable offers for his services in January. Humphrey admits he is not thinking about the speculation and is focused on doing his best for Motherwell. "Speculation always happens, but I am not interested in speculation," Humphrey told skysports.com. "My main focus is to do my best for Motherwell week in and week out. "We were all really disappointed the game was abandoned on Friday as we were awful in the first half and we were looking to put on a good show in the second half."

Ric Flair Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Enter Father Ted, stage right. Ouch, I can feel the sting of Thracian's post as the lack of goals this lad has scored is drilled in to us with venom.
Finnegan Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Ouch, I can feel the sting of Thracian's post as the lack of goals this lad has scored is drilled in to us with venom. To be fair, he had sixty two ruled out as off-side. They may or may not count depending on whether or not Humphrey has impact.
dpjfox Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 possible link if our management know him from WBA days
FrankieADZ Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 i trust Nigel and Steve to get the right guys in
bmt Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Is this the best we can do ? :dunno: :dunno: Sunderland, Newcastle and Bolton taking a look too, must be pretty decent.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Is this the best we can do ? :dunno: :dunno: We're a mid table Championship side... If anything, Chris can do better than us.
BigBawsFaeTheShaws Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 I'd reject the **** based on the shorts alone. Clown.
The Doctor Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Those shorts may be appropriate to the size shirt - he's could be a more extreme Lloyd Dyer - upper body normal, legs like twigs. There may be some credit from father Ted on the basis that he occasionally plays against Celtic and Rangers - who are slightly better than League 1 or Zammareto Division 2 standard (depending on how envious he is of Scottish football at the time).
kingfox Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 This kid is actually a class youngster, has done very well in the SPL and him and David Templeton for Hearts, have really impressed me in the past year or so. Also signed Humphrey for Leicester on fifa 12 two days ago
General Smuts Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 I'd reject the **** based on the shorts alone. Clown. I was on the fence then I saw these shorts. SIGN HIM UP!
Thracian Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 From what I have seen of him, he is very quick. He may be quick as an enema but six goals in 158 appearances is Wellensian. Gradel scored three times that just in his last Championship season - not in the entire period since the 2006/2007 campaign! And as for Humphreys' two goals in 74 games for Shrewsbury, you could have backed one of the programme sellers to manage that! I accept that CH is quick from what people say but is he allergic to penalty areas or something? We had another Scottish-based winger when Levein was here and he was so bad I've honestly forgotten his name. In fact I've often wondered if Levein forgot his name too and signed the wrong bloke. Humphrey must have talent to attract so many scouts but in a way that worries me more than if he was hopeless. No-one expected Frank Large to score cos he looked so cumbersome, but he did. This bloke sounds as if he should score hat-tricks every week but once every half a season seems more likely! Sure, just what we need!

However why is it you always bring up Gradel - shut the **** up about him, yes in hindsight we should have kept him but he's gone, he's not coming back so move the **** on! Also scoring goals is not the be all and end all for a winger - None of the stats posted suggest whether he creates a lot. Care to judge on performances rather than stats that are meaningless without any context?
wellyfox Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Enter the he's gotta be shite he's playing in a pub League with only two teams in it. Has the whole gang missed this one?

Care to judge on performances rather than stats that are meaningless without any context? I bring it up because whoever finally replaces him needs to score goals. Even Gallagher scores some goals - and far more than Humphreys - but our need is for wingers who score goals AND make goals. Yet from what I've seen from the the visionaries who've managed Leicester City for 10 years they either don't want wingers at all or they don't want them to risk giving the ball away by taking people on.

Because Gradel scored goals right? Not like his record for us was 2 goals in 36 games.
John Matrix Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 I'd reject the **** based on the shorts alone. Clown. bet you'd think he was a proper "joker" if he was white
Jimmy Posted 5 December 2011 Posted 5 December 2011 Mustapha Carayol looked pretty decent yesterday and 2 footed as well, I'd have him watched for a couple of weeks as well
