Rumours in Scunthorpe is that he's Donny bound, anyone else heard this ?
-
Been posted on here a few times over the last few weeks and also a thread about him in the rumour mill.
-
Thanks Donny, it's been the topic of discussion today in Scunthorpe seems to be gathering momentum.
-
Got told this 3 months ago. Think it will happen.
-
Not good enough and why would Scumthorpe want to get rid
-
Not good enough and why would Scumthorpe want to get rid
How do you know they want to get rid ?
-
I think, like a lot at Scunny their contracts are up and Chairman refused to talk about new ones until they knew what league they were going to be in.
-
Not good enough and why would Scumthorpe want to get rid
Because he's not good enough?
-
He is plenty good enough and would be great up front alongside Marquis.
I posted a few weeks ago that a customer who is a close friend of Maddens had told me that he was likely to join us in the summer.
-
Not good enough and why would Scumthorpe want to get rid
Double figures in each of the last four seasons he has played in League One, including two 20-goal hauls. What exactly is good enough if Madden isn't?
-
20 goal a season with a manager who plays attacking football. Would be a quality signing if we're honest.
-
Not good enough and why would Scumthorpe want to get rid
Yes he is good enough. Would be a good signing.
-
Plenty good enough. More consistent than Williams and I think that's what DF is looking for.
If my intuition is good, then I think fans will be very pleased with our attacking prowess next season. Fingers crossed!
-
DBR, how will we know if your intuition is good if you don't tell us what it is?
Spill the beans man!
-
Isn't DF talking about a potential Premier League striker joining us on loan - would Madden still be a target if this is the case. Believe Madden would be a good addition though more physical power / precedes up front with JM. :rtid:

He wants two in up front doesn't he? Which manager signed him for scunny?

Value for money i.e. for nowt has an effect on a game , scores goals and doesn't go missing when you need him . Oh yes ... got to be better than Williams who is just taking up space in the pitch.
-
Intuition is far different to knowledge BB. I know nothing!

He was one of Russ Wilcox's first signings I believe. If we have a strike force of Marquis, Mandeville, May, Madden and say Anderson or someone similar next season, I think we'd all be very happy with that.
-

Anderson would never fit as any part of that equation
we need to be looking at Morris, Maguire or Morison to have any sort of coherence...
-
Paddy Madden would be a good transfer for any League One side, let alone a newly promoted club. 51 goals in his last three seasons (147 apps).
He's still under contract so a fee would be required.
-
Bristol Rovers after him apparently

and that's just goals for scunny - he got a shedload in short order for yeovil before that too (22 in 44 apps)
contract runs out in july of this year - no brainer to grab him on a free....
-
Bristol Rovers after him apparently
if we're not a more attractive proposition and cannot offer a better deal than that set of bumpkin fücks, then we may as well give up and go home...
-

that may well be complete b*llocks - his original contract ran to july of last year - not sure what the terms of the newer one may be...
having now been bothered to check, it runs to summer 2018
-
Bristol Rovers after him apparently
I wonder if thats lazy journalism,it was same last summer,a player we was rumoured to be hoping to sign(cannot remember which,maybe JM) and then Bristol Rovers was mentioned to be after him,Is it a lazy Journo overhearing info and getting his Rovers mixed up.Im sure the player last summer signed for us.

No idea on the journo, the info came from one of their fans they tried getting him last year but Scunny wouldn't sell.
-
Last year of contract, bit of a bad attitude, Scunny would be delighted to get anything they could for him.
-
Aren't Brizzle Rovers in a bit of financial trouble.

Maybe just in the market for the same players then,not long ago,Oldham seemed to be after every player we was.

I just used Anderson as a placeholder for whomever this alleged PL striker is that's coming in on loan. My point is, we'd have a diverse and talented set of strikers in stark contrast to much of the last ten years.
-
Whhoooosssssshhhhhhh!!!!!!
-
I agree re the possibility of Marquis, Madden and Anderson just behind. Anderson could be the replacement for Copps who I see being used more as an impact sub next season.
Role reversal for Copps who could play a big part in the last 20 mins of a game, either bringing a cool head or running at tiring defences.
Some like the idea of Tommy Rowe playing more centrally but his left foot dominance puts him on the left side for me with Blair on the right.
Just wish Jordan Houghton was available as we'd be good to go.

"Good to go" except 2 of the players that you've mentioned don't yet play for us!

Aren't Brizzle Rovers in a bit of financial trouble.
They are owned by a Jordanian billionaire, the manager has been quoted as saying he wants to bring in 10-11 quality players to make a push for promotion, and has been rumoured to have a transfer budget of £2m to do it.
Something you know I dont?

No, not at all.
I just thought i had heard something about it.
-
£2million is not a big budget for 10 players
-

You see how many other League 1 clubs spend that amount! (Admittedly the Gas haven't spent any of it yet so its still just a rumour).
-
No, not at all.

No problem, I thought you may have done. There is an issue about their ground move and these Jordanian owners have promised more cash then they have delivered but from the people I know it all seems to be going well there.

Hence the word possibility.

2million is loads in league 1.
-
Wouldn't that include wages?
-
That was the way I read it
-
Then 2 million isn't that much in League 1
-
For 10 players it would be. Some clubs have that as an entire club budget.

attracting people already they are negotiating a deal for former Israeli International Yusee Petra
-
Apparently, Mansfield have already signed 10. Now that is getting them in early!
-
Correction to my previous post re Mansfield, they've now signed 11.
