CONFIRMED David Edgar

[finlaytheblade]

it says 6'2" on main page... was he wearing platforms when he was first measured or is he slowly shrinking....

by the time he lines up on Saturday he could be smaller than Scougall lol

Looking at the video I think he,s 6ft4 as Adkins is 6ft and he is a lot taller than him

 

[blade too long]

why do people keep wrtiting his name backwards , its Edgar Davids

 

[Jehovah]

Looking at the video I think he,s 6ft4 as Adkins is 6ft and he is a lot taller than him

Adkins quotes him as being 6ft2 in interview. I dont think two inches makes that much difference..........................

 

[Bladebri]

Apparently Edgar is on his way to Rotherham, he met Collins in the car park and he directed him elsewhere

You need to tell our lass that

Our lass thinks differently

 

[Barney]

He looks a taller slimmer version of Michael Higdon in the youtube interview.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Played in the Canadian team for the World Youth Championship qualifiers in 2005 – captained by our academy-developed Ryan Gyaki.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Hopefully Collins can go forth and multiply now then. The useless twat.

Said it before Wards, didn't want him back this season but been a good servant to the club though limited as a centre back.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

The last canadian we had was shorter than most of our current squad.

Great keeper though Bladesman.

extract from interview with Birmingham manager

"I am really amicable with Dave and said 'Look if you get an opportunity and it's a good opportunity for you, we certainly won't fund any move but if you can get someone who's interested in regular football and comes up with a loan deal that's suitable for us so we can add to the funds we've got to strengthen, I think that's important"

so it looks like we are picking up 100% of his wages.

Yep, expect it'll be the same re: Sammon too.

 

[sheffielder]

I hope he does well, however looks like a cheap option considering the resources many say we have.

Today's over-used Adkins interview phrase is "draw a line under it".

Interesting comments at 6 minutes re: Long. In no way was the game plan to kick it upfield to Sharp/Adams from goalkicks. Implied criticism given to both Long (for reverting to the easier option) and the crowd behind him for that. Pretty much echoes what a lot of us who were there have said about the abuse having an effect. That being said, makes it a little stranger that he was left on.

The problem with listening to what the many say is that it's actually the few who know the truth, and I'd like to bet almost none of the few are on this board :-(

I wasn't there and I know our fans generally like to have a pop at the youth first, however were Collins and McEverley given a free ride. I can't imagine some of our bladey blades left McFadzean to his own devices?

That's cryptic.

 

[stringjunior]

That's cryptic.

I'm sorry, I thought it seemed fairly straightforward :-(

 

[Woodwardfan]

I wonder if this was already in an advanced state before Saturday or if it was a hurried reaction to the defeat.

You don't seriously mean that do you?

 

[Caseh]

I think it looks like a Centre Half from the league above, exactly what everyone has been after. I say the Club and Manager are in a lose/lose situation.

 

[Russ]

Just had a walk round docklands area got some admiring glances at my black Adidas training top. One woman said after I walked past "would you Adam and Eve it. That's who that David Edgar signed for. The one who's name is nearly Edgar Davids. Nigel Adkins must have spent all Sunday ont dog n bone to him."

 

[longinthe toothblade]

Surely he can't be any worse than what we currently have!

That's a positive way of looking at it!

Keith Edwards was slaughtering McEv for dropping deep to pick to the ball up from the keeper.

That's hilarious. A goal kick in the first half essentially meant conceding the ball seconds later - be it due to Sharp and Adams unsurprisingly being unable to win a header against their centre-halves, or due to Long himself kicking the ball straight out.

 

[metalblade]

Keith Edwards was slaughtering McEv for dropping deep to pick to the ball up from the keeper.

And rightly so if all McEverley did was pass it straight back to Long putting him under pressure to lamp it down field. As Keith said what is the point of rolling the ball out to the centre backs if they immediately pass it back to the keeper who then has to boot it long and hard down the pitch. It is pointless.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

I can see McEverly being moved to left back then.

I expect Jay and Edgar to Hoover up any high balls into the box

 

[brownie4583]

We still need a keeper, centre half and Harris to get fit.

And another centre midfielder

 

[BushBlade]

I'm sorry, I thought it seemed fairly straightforward :-(

Thought you were hinting at something.

 

[Slug]

He is signing today.

Spot on the money once again Lightsoot!
Do you know if there is anything else on the horizon?

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Just got round to listening to the interview:

• Deal was on the cards last week - so, just in case it needed clarifying, it wasn't panic buying
• Knows Bash from when they were both teenagers at Newcastle
• Was promoted with Burnley
