All taken from soccerbase. Anyone missing?

 

[Worksop II]

one or really good signings there ........................ and a couple a bit too flakey for my liking

 

[blade.i.am]

I'm guessing the haven't all played for Derby, Walsall or Blackpool or are Scottish

 

[FTPE]

I've not looked into that list that much, but at first glance he seems to get the best out of average players while making some good players perform pretty average.

 

[Reedy1889]

Now whether this is true on not i dont know but a poster on BM say's he's already made the board aware of two players he wishes to bring in, one being a midfielder and the other a striker. And if i read the follow up post correctly one of those two may have the initials of BB?

Any ideas?

 

[sitwell]

Barry Butlin and Bob Booker for Bladey Business Billy Bremner ,Bill Beaumont or Bernard Bresslaw for not.

 

[HillmortonBlade]

All very interesting but, how tall are they?

 

[gavtheblade]

Now whether this is true on not i dont know but a poster on BM say's he's already made the board aware of two players he wishes to bring in, one being a midfielder and the other a striker. And if i read the follow up post correctly one of those two may have the initials of BB?

Any ideas?

Bobby Bar?
I fucking love that name!

 

[Bladesman]

Seem decent players there.

Rodriguez, Hooper, McCann, Clyne, Mayuka, Cox, Hayes, Paterson, Cork, Yoshida, Dagnall.

All quality signings at the time he signed them and some still doing well at the top 2 levels of football. One thing is for sure he gets a proven goalscorer for the level he is managing at.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Hope he takes a proper look at Cuvelier, who I honestly think is a peach of a player. Especially as he's worked hard and bulked up since the Weir regime where everyone was pretty weak.

 

[BouncinBlade]

Some good signings there. I just pray he doesn't try & sign forte again!!!

 

[Eskimo]

B B hope he's a big bastard

 

[Blade82]

Billy and beckford

 

[Wardy1889]

Did he sign Lambert is well for Southampton

 

[Bladesman]

Did he sign Lambert is well for Southampton

He was signed a season before by Alan Pardew along with Lee Barnard.

 

[tyneblade]

Gaston Ramirez is the stand out there, not so much for his £12million price tag, as the fact that he's from from Fray Bentos.

 

[BerksBlade]

As long as he doesn't sign Yakubu!

 

[sitwell]

As long as he doesn't sign Yakubu!

Who should be ending up at Fray Bentos

 

[borbokis]

So looks like he'll try and sign Jonathan forte and we can all have the debate on how to pronounce his name again.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Most exiting thing in that list for me how far he seems to throw the net, while scouting. The statement about watching a LOT of football over the last 5 months fills me with hope that he's going to unearth some talent beyond the Scottish leagues!

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Can someone please do an average height check on these players?

 

[cooperblade]

Now whether this is true on not i dont know but a poster on BM say's he's already made the board aware of two players he wishes to bring in, one being a midfielder and the other a striker. And if i read the follow up post correctly one of those two may have the initials of BB?

Any ideas?

If it's Barry Bannan, a 5 foot 7 Scottish midfielder, I'll piss myself laughing

Did we really get £200,000 for Hurst?

 

[Dec]

If it's Barry Bannan, a 5 foot 7 Scottish midfielder, I'll piss myself laughing

Did we really get £200,000 for Hurst?

Ex-Derby and ex-Blackpool too! It's gonna happen...

 

[Blade56]

Billy and beckford

Beckford would blow my feckin socks off, can't see it though

 

[Davie Blade]

I'd like to see a list of his loan signings as well.

When I look at the quality PL loans other managers brought in at our level, and the colossal difference those players made to their sides.
Don't get me drawn on comparisons, again.

It really is a joyous NEW DAWN.

 

[DazBlade88]

Just looking through the list I notice he took Jack Stephens to Southampton, the centre half who was on loan at Swindon last season... Could be one to keep an eye on as a loan deal next season.

 

[Mad Mick]

Bobby Bar?
I fucking love that name!

Bob Bar is better

 

[Bladesway]

Hope he takes a proper look at Cuvelier, who I honestly think is a peach of a player. Especially as he's worked hard and bulked up since the Weir regime where everyone was pretty weak.

Just wondering how many times you have seen him to make that judgement?

 

[Paulus]

Bridget Bardot

 

[SotonBlade]

Its Bergen Blade isn't it. Bergen is signing up
