Incoming? John Tolkin

[b1ade4life]

I went to the doctor as every time I nodded off I shouted GANDALF, FRODO, BILBO BAGGINS
he said I was Tolkien in my sleep

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Look: Who's Tolkin?

 

[Balham Blade]

Or His mate Raol Moat

Why bring raul into this?

 

[Billyblade]

Let's not bring Gaza into it

*Gazza

 

[sheff_blade90]

apparently he was pleased when the queen died, it meant the return of the king

Aragorn - “You have my sword”

Legolas - “And my bow”

Gimli- “And my axe”

John Tolkin - “And my foot”

 

[Brian Deane]

Aragorn - “You have my sword”

Legolas - “And my bow”

Gimli- “And my axe”

John Tolkin - “And my foot”

Be a bad signing if he's only got one foot

Looks like a left back's back on the menu boys

Well done sir, post of the day!

Feel so left out I don't understand any of these puns

I was just about to add another pun when my missus grabbed hold of my phone to stop me. I said to her “Thad berra Legolas”.

Follow up works too.

Don't think he knows about 4th left back, Pip.

What about 9th striker? 10th? Gifted youngster who went off the rails and now plays for Matlock? He knows about those, doesn't he?

‘Left backs, just one is enough to sustain a premier league team for a whole season…’

‘How many did you get Paul…?’

‘Four’

 

[mcbladeface]

On left back signings:

Dyche: "two already!"
Hecky: "I'm on seventeen"

Although to be fair this would work a lot better about injury lists

Left, and back again. By P Heckingbottom

 

[JFK]

Would look good in a vintage Hobbit/Hobbot kit.

 

[Champagneblade]

Hopefully he’s more than just a prancing pony!

Once he gets into his strider I hope he can nail down a spot in the elven.

It won’t take much for him to dwarf the achievements of our left backs so far this season

[10-0 win]

Happy to see us looking everywere for players. We.re not spoiled in that department.

Ignoring all the puns, I'm hearing:

• decent technique
• strong, at least in relation to height (certainly not the tallest, but for a full back who cares)
• quick, but not fast in terms of pure speed (makes sense to me at least)
• has had a good season in MLS
• probably right time to move to upper Championship/lower PL team

So I guess this would be more one to look at for 2024/5 forwards - what I think might happen if there's any substance to this rumour is that we buy then immediately loan back to NY for the first half of their season

Apparently quite handy with set pieces too

 

[Micky Narker]

Having so many left-backs competing for one spot could lead to an orcward situation and affect team morale.

Heckingbottom to the physio…

Tolkin’s hamstring on the Bramall Lane pitch…
