I'm not happy, best we can do at the minute is Cooke and Palmer on the evidence I've seen. If Cooke is good in the tackle we may have found a gem as he looks very tidy with the ball and always goes for the positive option. Screaming out for a tackler but beggars can't be choosers unless he moves someone on.

 

Yes I did pal.

Hopkin was enough let down I believe. Currently was as a manager

 

True but still won’t be able to sign for anybody till January as was contracted at the end of the transfer window

 

We've paid a larger fee for Wyke, Doyle and Mclean.

 

We know Wyke cost £250,000, but how do we know what the others cost?

 

When on top with decent pitches?

 

All sh@te and McCartan is worse than all of them.

 

Both are meant to be AM..

 

No?

If you buy a car and agree to pay over 5 years do you only pay for the car until you sell it?

What a daft question?

 

Yeah agreed Cooke look decent. Better than what we had already in Devine and Palmer.

Palmer & Cooke could be a decent partnership but yeah I agree Cooke and Devitt could be a decent partnership as well.

 

Maybe but he is the only one getting near the squad at present.

 

Devitt isn’t a central midfielder more likely play just behind Vaughan

 

So there is no option to save - unlike with a wage - so it wasn't really relevant.

I daftly assumed there was a reason for your input.

 

There was. You said we weren't still paying for him. I was just letting you know that we were.

I really don't get why you're getting all arsey about it?

 

Don't be going all BoingBoing on us, NM...

 

My dear Fordy. There is nothing wrong with criticising players that you yourself do not personally rate, this is something that makes you such a good contributor to this forum and something I like about you, even if I don't always agree with your views.
Having said that, you really do need to improve your vocabulary when describing the ability of players you do not rate.

 

Maybe I do mate but when a player is shi&e then they're shi&e.. no point dressing it up.

 

Precisely.
Akpan is sh!te and should be nowhere near the first team or subs bench..

Doesn't mark; can't tackle his way out of a wet paper bag; gets knocked off the ball by players half his size; doesn't run; spends most of games hiding; rarely makes a telling pass. He's a liability.

We've previously seen that he has ability, but he's currently stealing a wage. He's a disgrace.

 

I'd also question whether or not he's good in the air, as well as his desire to dribble.

Aside from that, all positive.

 

That was a below the belt comment!
