Can't verify the validity of the poster on BM, but interesting info and could be somat in it:

"The club are looking to offload Cresswell,and this could happen by the time the Shrews come to town. If this happens expect Dave Kitson to become a Blade.There is a 2 year contract there for him. Trialist centre half Luke Foster,is poised to sign a one year deal.At least 2 of our youngsters are being lined up for loan deals,not including George Long,who the club would like to send out,but there is little interest at the moment,apart from one club North of the border. One last bit of info,Blackman rejected Barnsley to come to the Lane."

Yeah, I'd be happy with that.

Don't really believe it, but it all sounds good to me. Apart from the lack of news about a winger.

 

[s35blade]

if thats true we would have porter,cofie,kitson,blackman and miller seems to me like were playing the odds maybe on out of them will be good. In my personal opinon i think blackman will be a very good at this level not to cheds quality of course but think he could get maybe around 20 goals. On foster i think hes half decent and good cover

For the mother of god I hope not, noooooooooo don't spoil things Danny
Kitson & Foster FFS Nooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Dog Blade]

The Creswell bit is right, but they've been trying since the end of last season and still no joy.
I'd doubt the Kitson bit. Monty very close to going too I hear but not sure where exactly.

 

[s35blade]

blackman and kitson would be a fantastic strike partnership at this level

Kitson & Foster FFS Nooooooooooooooooooo

Kitson at this level will be excellent IMO.

And how much have you seen Foster play?

Kitson is too old why would we go down the Cresswell route again don't we ever learn FFS and Foster an ex pig bombed out of Rotherham because of injuries and reportedly he don't like training too much.................. sounds just what we need.
I really do think those two would be a backward step.

Why on earth would anyone want a 6-4 centre-forward who has scored and made goals regularly throughout his career, the majority of it at the top level? I certainly wouldn't want a proven, experienced, powerful leader of the line who can win it in the air and hold it up well on the deck and bring others into play. Especially when he's a strong character both on and off the pitch. He's 32 for heaven's sake - the care home is already booked. Exactly what you don't need at League One level.

Only 114 goals and dozens of assists in 357 games. No, not for us in Division 3, thank you. To the car park, men.....

Sure have height on our side 6'4 and Blackman at 6'2" been a while since we have had such height up front.

Foster an ex pig

You really are special.

You're just like an article on the online Star. I don't read them anymore because there is some Wednesday **** who always leaves comments on them. To be fair, I expect it of them.

 

[metalblade]

Oh I take it all back Kitson has been prolific for the last 2 seasons scoring a goal every 6 games on average, think he got 5 all last season, 32 yr old lets give him a 4 yr contract he can drain our resources until he is 36 like Cresswell.

Luke Foster.......................... pigs released, Scarborough and Alfreton on loan, Lincoln, couldn't get in the 1st team released, York on loan, Stalybridge Celtic, Oxford Utd where Jim Smith said that Foster needed to "improve the way he leads his life" in order to "stand a chance" of getting back into the Oxford first-team.He stayed for a while before moving to Mansfield who released him after he slagged the club off on Facebook. A short spell at Stevenage before moving to Rotherham where he couldn't get in the 1st team as he was unfit, Andy Scott saying he lacked desire and fitness and tried to loan him out but got no takers. When he did eventually get in the team he was soon injured and released. A career In the Conference, Conference North and League One littered with sending's off for fouls and violent conduct as well as misconduct and indiscipline off the field.

Just the sort of player every team wants eh Houso

 

[Houso]

And he's an ex-pig which is a huge issue of course?

Well done by the way, you can read Wikipedia.

 

[Houso]

And for what it's worth, I'm not enamored particularly by the signing, but he's been on trial for a few weeks now and would purely be backup. Were he to be first team, then yes, there'd be issues.

I'm willing to trust the blokes who have watched him... rather than someone who can read his CV.

As you're clearly ITK, I'd be interested in the terms we're planning to offer Kitson?

UTB

 

[gavtheblade]

unlike beattie,i feel this lad has a few left in the tank.

Seems Blackman did turn down a couple of offers from the championship!

[metalblade]

Sooner have Blackman than Kitson, at least he will still be worth something in 2 yr and he could just get better, Kitson on the other hand will only get worse and be worth a bag of nuts. We will never learn anyone past 30 should in most cases only get a 1yr contract. What was Danny saying the other day about we can't afford old journeymen ? Sounds like a McCabe bums on seats type of signing........... this seasons James Beattie ?

It's a lovely day , why don't you go to the park and feed the ducks or summat ? You never know you might have a real conversation with another person or at least one of the ducks

Yep the duck would talk more sense than you no doubt

".....Trialist centre half Luke Foster,is poised to sign a one year deal."

Foster has signed for Matlock Town, where he made his debut in their 5-0 defeat to Nantwich Town today

 

[metalblade]

Phew !!! that was a close one

 

[GAZBLADE]

Damn why didn't we sign him. He sounds like he's mustard!!!

Houso, judge and sheffielder must be distraught

 

[super_pig]

not bothered about Kitson.. thought his behaviour toward the donny fans was deplorable
