If it's a last push at a playoff place, it doesn't really matter about the young and hungry bit, which should be secondary. and what we should have done before is now out of our hands.

I'll be really worried if our summer signings ticked the same boxes though.

This is a great post on the subject.

I can't understand the Swizzlers take on this as he can't stand Collins so I thought he'd be knocking one out on this one :)

It's another 30+ championship player probably on a decent wedge, and contradicts what type of player he has stated he is targeting, how many 30+ players do we need to cope with all this fans vitriol.

Well we are a very nasty bunch. So much so we made Jose Baxter take drugs, lie about it and then take some more drugs.

As perverse as this might sound do we need a center half at moment? With Baxter all but gone, Hammond failing, Reed lightweight wouldn't a creative midfielder to play with Coutts and Flo or a left winger been a better option?

Just sayin.

Nothing to say that we aren't after strengthening there too though, is there?

Calculated gamble from Adkins on low wages, particularly if middlesborough go up. Don't be surprised if another follows.

Young and hungry players, he said.

Players who can play full seasons, he said.

Signed a slow 30 year old whose just suffered a broken leg, he did.

So do you reckon he just likes lying to us or do you reckon the board aren’t sanctioning the signings he wants so he’s making do with experienced loanees?



Remember the Warnock documentary where he asked the board for John Stead and McCabe told him he thought Duncan Ferguson would impress the fans more?......

Have you ever raced him over 30 yards ,injured pre season not
just ,and I'm sure given his previous record can play the rest of the season. Idiot

Whoa whoa whoa….. steady on. Of course he’s faster than Baptiste. He’s already told us he would be more prolific in league 2 than DCL. You can’t do that if you haven’t got a bit of pace about you!



Well, that or an overactive imagination.

I think, incredibly sadly, Swizzler takes more lead from Barney than he does from the school of common sense at the moment.

Hopefully one day we'll get the old Swizzler back.

I like the lad already, old school no nonsense!

"...
A 23-year-old man who was arrested at the same time will have no action taken against him.

It was reported that a man was knocked unconscious and lost several teeth in the incident, which happened at 1.35am on Saturday, June 28.

One eyewitness told the Bolton News: 'What happened was virtually under the noses of two officers.

'It was one punch but one big punch.'..."

Let's see someone have a go at him for wearing his jumper around his shoulders or sucking on a lollipop.

Not like those armchairious ultras sat there with a face as long as Norfolk Street.

Whatever happens.
 
negimages.jpg Any connection this image has with some of our 'fans' is purely intentional.
 
I'll judge him on a number of games like with all signings.

Can't judge him tonight though as I am not going .
 
He's in his early 30s with plenty of years left, is coming back from injury but is now fit enough to start, he's captained his team, and he's consistently played at a level higher than League 1 throughout his career. I've every confidence that Paddy McCarthy will have an immediate impact on the team.

Still ageing with his best very much behind him though.

Yeah that's why Middlesbrough made him there first signing at the beginning of the season. How about we give him a chance? Brayford, Coady, Matt Phillips. All loan signings who were excellent for us. If you think he's too old then I give you Neil Shipperley, Wayne Allison and Stuart McCall. Let's see what he has to offer us eh
 

As others have said no judgement on the player for 3/4 games.

My opinion on the face of it not the profile of a player we need: wrong end of career, serious injury etc.

I've wrote this season off so would have rather used the money to get others out than in.

Also too little too late the damage has already been done
