Billy Bodin

[Alfreton14Blade]

A player on the up. Had a fine season in 16/17 and has started this season on fire. "Confidence on the ball", "ability to terrorize a defence", "capable of moments of brilliance".

Worth a punt?

There's meant to be a few Championship clubs interested. And Wilder and Knill both know him, Knill from managing him at Torquay, and Wilder/Knill at Northampton (where they helped him recover from a long-term injury).

Worth having a look at the goals on here at 0.35 and 3.00 especially

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Always best to be up front.

 

[Ricky]

He's been scoring consistently, especially since they sold Matty Taylor. Seems like a good all round attacking player, two footed and versatile. He's the sort we'll look at and I wouldn't mind us taking a punt on him, especially if the fee's low - and I think he's only got a year left on his contract.

 

[Esablade]

Two Billy's up top?
Could be goer...

Needs a nose job.

Isn't this lad a wing back who scores goals like Freeman or at least the moves like Jagger?

Sorry Swiss, I can't see the reason for your post.
Don't get me wrong my man, I am in full admiration and appreciation of your efforts, but just struggling to work out the link.
Could you do me a favour mate and post a few more links that I can't work out please?

 

[Ricky]

Would quite like us to go and get him now. Winger/striker, fits what we're looking for and would be a permanent transfer rather than a loan.

Article this morning on the BBC website linking the Blades along with Derby, Dirty Leeds, Barnsley and Sunderland in this lad. Out of contract at end of season. Would think The Blades, Derby or the Dirties would be better for his career

 

[sheffielder]

Isn’t he a wing back / full back?

 

[S64 Blade]

Isn’t he a wing back / full back?

Centre forward, I think.

Separate point, but could his name sound any more West Country? I can just hear the Bristol Rovers fans chattering about him over a pint of cider.

 

[Ricky]

Wide attacker who can play on either side, but definitely the type who could be converted into a number 10 IMO.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

An addition or a replacement?

 

[gavtheblade]

Is he from middle earth???

 

[EmleyMoorBlade]

An addition or a replacement?

Hanson out possibly. Maybe Wilder will let the Scunthorpe move that was nearly done in August go through now that Donaldson is filling that role ?

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Top left foot and that last goal was Curriesque. Get him signed

 

[Pinchy]

You think that’s what Donaldson does? I’d say he performs a completely different role. Strong, quick, good touch, clever player, goalscorer.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

When Wilder & Knill previously helped Billy Bodin get his career back on track, following a serious injury

I agree totally with what you say, Donaldson is a much better player and therefore Hanson can now be let go as the role he filled of giving us the big man up front option is filled by both Clarke and Donaldson. Bodin different sort of player so increases the attacking options for Wilder

 

[Bergen Blade]

His father put John Ebbrell's cross into his own goal in my first match at Bramall Lane, against Reading in 1997.

 

[Rodley]

Has he for decent pace? If so I’d have a look at him. Poss swop deal for Lavery?

Scunthorpe signed Lee Novak when they didn't get Hanson so there may be no interest there anymore

Live in Bristol, have seen him a bit, seems a good player and is a good number 10/ winger

Thanks Billy! You signed?

Coincidentally, that was also John Ebbrell's first game. And his last.
