When it says undisclosed fee, I doesn't say that we received owt !
Surely we've paid them to take him off our hands

 

Terrible, terrible player. Didnt really see any redeeming qualities in his play.

Absolutely delighted to have rid of him.

 

Could this mean a new striker is close to signing?

As gash as poleon was, I'm not sure he'd be allowed to go if we didn't have someone already lined up.

 

None of the ITKs picked this one out. Or the Akpan signing yesterday lol. Best move for all concern regarding Poleon, he gets a chance to start again which would have been impossible at Valley Parade. Good luck to him, sometimes it just doesn't work out.

 

Someone needs to tell Dom he's been sold so he can update his twitter.

 

The situation that "The Cone Brothers" had with Poleon was this. How the hell can two rookie"FA badged" coaches relying heavily on that very badge for any shred of credibility ? Then be faced with playing Poleon in a game? So they had to ship him out someway ? anyway ?. With most us lining up to to criticise their appointment they had to get him out just to cut this off as a most obvious threat to their very standing as "FA coaches" if he so much as got near the first XI ?. These two might be rookies but they are not that daft are they ?!.

You can rest assured that both "Mikey n Marty" footballs equivalent of 70s unfunny comedy duo "Mike n Bernie Winters" will have plenty of experience delivering "bad news" to young kids who aren't "good enough" in their FA Soccer camps ! So they sure as hell wernt going to sherk it and not drag Poleon in for "a chat" at "lunchtime" and send him packing with his cheese n onion sandwiches and bottle a fruit shoot !.

So it's got one out the way for them and you got to applaud Abbott & The CostHello twins for that if nowt else in the next three months ? Shame that it took Abbott over £100k; full pay for a season and absolutely bugger all in return for him to realise Dom may be a lot of good things but a footballer is not one of them !

 

A translation might be useful!

 

I'm sorry but Tawheed is right. We saw more than enough last season to see that both the aforementioned players are at best squad players and at worst should be nowhere near the first team.

 

Sorry @Silverbantam Simon Grayson gets little creadability from me for his time at Valley Parade, apart from making the players turn up for training in suits I was hardly impressed with what he achieved with the players on the pitch.
I may not be impressed with our new coaching set up (yes they will have my full backing from Shrewsbury on) at least they are prepared to put their reputation on the line as the club stands, rather than excuses about the infrastructure and training facilities not being ours.

 

Absolutely agree. Vince never hid when it was obvious that he and the team were out of sorts. He still ran and ran and put himself about.

I would keep him.

 

I don't think too many people will be particularly upset at that one.

 

Can't fault the lad for effort but he probably needs to drop down a level to find some games and goals because he was severely lacking at points last season. League Two is probably his level at the moment.

Was certainly the one that we were looking to get off the books so its good news and hopefully we can find another upgrade.

 

Happy days. He was the one I thought we’d struggle to get rid of! Made my day that has.

 

Undisclosed fee......Edin gave them £1 and put Poleon on the Megabus to Gatwick Airport, it's near Crawley!

 

There's no way Rahic didn't have his say on Poleon.

 

The overall handsomness of the team would massively drop were he to leave, that's for sure!

 

Just watched his introductory video with Crawley and he's claiming he's had other offers.
Funniest.Thing.Ever.

 

If Poleons huge ego had somehow managed to transfer itself into performances and finishing infront of goal,we would have had one hell of a striker on our books.
Sadly that was not the case and Crawley are welcome to him.

 

McGowan has 20 caps for his country and looked immense before he got injured, you'd think he'd be a starter. Kilgallon has had the better playing career by a distance and has been a better player in a city shirt, so he should be ahead of NKP in the starting 11 and O'Connor has been one of our marquee signings this summer after rejecting an offer from Aberdeen who finished 2nd or 3rd in the SPL. Assuming that they are all putting in effort during training and not just NKP, he's 4th choice based on potential and overall ability.

As for Vincelot, I said he wasn't good enough last season which he wasn't, and is no longer a guaranteed starter, which he isn't. He might still be good enough, he might not but he's most definitely replaceable and just like with Doyle and Law I'd back us to bring in better if Vincelot was to leave.

Unlike the others, Charlie Wyke still had an overall successful season by scoring 16 goals, the others were poor. That's the difference. That said, I do think he's a tad overhyped anyway and I'd get rid if the price was right.
