Incoming? Steve Sidwell

[Torrix1889]

OK it's only an "FL92" rumour on Facebook but it says Sidwell set to join on loan...

 

[Stretch]

Was on a king's ransom at Fulham and probably similar at Brighton, will believe this when I see it. Would be a terrific signing though.

 

[DifferentClass]

Doesn't he post here?

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I always thought he was a proper twat, especially after his antics as Reading warmed down after they beat us 2-1 (I think - the ref had a shocker and we lost anyway; it was the one when Keeeeeffff stayed on the pitch and was chopped down with a waiste-high challenge in the area, with the ref waving away our claims for a penalty - again, I think).

Anyway, Sidwell, the twat, was giving us the "2-1" hand-signals as we were all held back at the end, with him receiving many hand-signals of another kind back. Some fans called a steward over and complained, to which the steward said, "I'll have a word."

I'm convinced that Jags beat him to the Four Four Two Player of the Championship that season both us and Reading were promoted because it was voted for by fellow professionals and my thinking was that they all thought he was a c*nt too.

So yes, I do bear long-held grudges. Might be prepared to overlook all this if he comes to the Lane though.

Quality!

Done a bit of research and I reckon it was this game, not the one where Keeef was chopped in two. Also, Kitson was on the bench so I might have got my Gingers mixed up and have borne a grudge against the wrong player for over ten years now:

It gets worse: see my posting above - I think I held a grudge against the wrong player all this time.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

No thanks. He's past it and will want a fair amount per week. Pig signing if ever I saw one.

 

[CarlingBlade]

Hammond, aging midfielder with a good pedigree on a last pay day, we dont need another midfielder, its a no from me.

He looked decent for Brighton and appears to have kept himself in good shape, not remotely comparable to Hammond who was ready for the knacker's yard. Plus if it's only a loan then I don't get the 'last payday' bit as he already contracted to another club.

Shit, nobody tell him Kitson actually played* for us a few seasons back!

*In the loosest sense of the word.

You think so? I thought he was excellent. Far better than the Bladey alternative, Young Joe.

 

[sheffielder]

You think so? I thought he was excellent. Far better than the Bladey alternative, Young Joe.

So you think he was excellent by comparing him to Joe Ironside?

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

You think so? I thought he was excellent. Far better than the Bladey alternative, Young Joe.

Did anyone actually rate Ironside?

He was never a Bladey alternative, he was garbage.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

no thanks this is a pig style signing, Wilder won't

 

[Pinchy]

So you think he was excellent by comparing him to Joe Ironside?

No. I think he was very good. Better than Nick No-Goals Blackman who many would avimback.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

American Cop Show Cliche coming up:

It was the wheelchair which held him back.

Is that Gazza?

 

[Greenwich Blade]

*In the loosest sense of the word.

He acted the twat on many occasions towards the opposition, fans and players, when playing for us, and I loved him for it. Football fans, fickle?

 

[Groucho Blade]

Steve Sidwell? 34 year old Steve Sidwell?? 34 year old, on very high wages, Steve Sidwell???

Blimey...is there no one else out there?

Top scorer for us that season I think?

 

[TJB.]

Starting to get the impression that's the case.

Either that or the market has gone to shit and clubs are massively overvaluing their players leading to a lack of movement for any clubs without a sugar daddy.

One of the two

 

[FriethBlade]

Not much to lose on a loan but isn't he similar to what we've already got in an area where we seem to have the greatest strength in depth ?

 

[billyblademan]

I quite liked Kitson, until his legs clearly went right at the end of the season.

Indeed! I used to hate and love Duffy when watching (he celebrated like a right dick in front of the Kop on a couple of occasions), but am now delighted he's wearing red and white.

 

[Groucho Blade]

Will it be a short term loan until January? I suppose then we can get Ben Whiteman back from Donny and see how he's progressing...

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

That Swedish bloke that nobody likes will be as good as Sidwell is. Wank rumour this

 

[Slim Man]

No. I think he was very good. Better than Nick No-Goals Blackman who many would avimback.

Nick No-Goals Blackman was more effective that Dave No-Goals Kitson

Nick Blackman

Pens. And also Kitson was more of a target man, than out and out poacher. What a really dull team we had that season, such a massive change from the free scoring side the year before.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Not sure midfield is the problem, certainly Coutts & Fleck are doing well enough with Lundstram, Carruthers on the bench. Striker and CB priority.
