CONFIRMED Samir Carruthers

[Alfreton14Blade]

He is Samir C
He's left all his sisters in Keynes

So - what is his natural position? Centre mid?

Which one of our midfielders is he an improvement on?

Doesn't necessarily have to be. Certainly looks like a different option though.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Done today expects Giddings

3 and a half years?! I hope he's not on too big a wage, else we might not be left with a pint glass to piss in.

Doesn't necessarily have to be. Certainly looks like a different option though.

I'd hope he's an improvement on at least a few of our options (ie Reed, Basham).

 

[McGrath]

This signing seems a bit odd to me. We seem to be strengthening where we are strongest.

I can't see him wanting to sign to be backup and I can't see why we'd drop Coutts, Fleck or Duffy in his favour either.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Are we sure the 1st division side who have had a bid accepted isn't Charlton? Would make more sense with robinson

See post #102

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

I know we are playing well, but who thought it was a good idea to refer to us as Real Madrid

 

[Roygbiv]

Why would he rather go to Sheffield than Charlton?

Unless they have hijacked the deal

A level of insurance by way of planning

Injuries and suspensions could scupper our goal. Trying to cover for any eventuality is the correct thing to do imo. We aren't talking mid table mediocrity. We are realistically in with a shout of promotion and should cover all bases and of course, not before time

 

[Grappler]

I thought Robinsons uncomfortable body language at the end of that clip pretty much says Carruthers is not going to Charlton, he knows it. Let's see if it really is SUFC.

 

[Houso]

I asked the Kitman at MK if he's any cop this morning (he's on another forum). His response...

Samir is a very, very good player. Still young and can get frustrated quickly but he's sorted his head out but he can still get a bit lively.
Why do you ask? <rolly eye emoticon>

His tone in posts following this definitely leads me to think he's coming here...

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

He'll piss over you
He'll piss over you-ou-ou
Our Sammy Carruthers
He'll piss over you

At 5.30 Karl Robinson's reaction to Carruthers being left out:

Robinson didn't have a clue, infact as a manager he seems clueless !!!! Looked gutted that he wasn't in the know !

 

[Enigmatic]

Signed.

 

[Slim Man]

That happened quickly. Good signing,

[BigBed]

Yippee

 

[Danny_Boy]

For the past 5 years I have been saying (mainly to myself) that the best way to get out of this league is to sign the best players from this league especially the younger lads with potential. Well done Wilder.

 

[SwissBlade]

Welcome Samir

Currently if Coutts or Fleck drop out for a game then it makes a big change to us with Basham stepping into the middle. At least one of those players will get suspended if not injured.

Isn't this the lad who pissed in a cup and threw it over balcony at Cheltenham Festival? Great Signing

 

[Fulwood Blade]

quality............

[TONY_TONY_AGANA]

moore
Basham O'Con EEL
Freeman Lafferty
Coutts Carruthers Fleck
Duffy
Sharp

If he's come to play, this is the only logical thing I can come up with. Duffy will have to stay close to Billy boy though

Indeed - that should keep Bash out of midfield.

Anyone got any idea on the fee? My guess is circa £250,000.

They said a big fee, so despite there only being 6 months on his contract, I reckon it could be upwards of that; maybe 500k.
