Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

The goals reel on sky of shearer is always worth a watch

 

My Villa friends highly rate him and told me City had done terrific work getting him on loan

 

Just shows what a great player he was. His first season back after that injury, he scored 31 goals.

 

The absolute irony of YOU typing that last line

 

DM?

 

Yeah.

 

The correct way to refer to the plural family "Smith" is "The Smiths", without an apostrophe. The apostrophe is only used to show possession, so "Smith's" would mean something belonging to one person named Smith, not the whole family. If you want to show possession, like "the Smiths' house," you add the apostrophe after the "s" in the plural form.

 

I remember when we had Ian Ormondroyd on loan and he scored away at Bristol Rovers. Someone in the crowd shouted "give us a I" by the time we got to the second d the game had been over for 10 minutes

The original Peter Crouch. I think he scored a few for us in his few appearances.

 

I didn’t see Ormandroyd play for city but I do remember when he came back playing for (Bradford?) and the crowd sang “you’re tall and your wife’s a dog”

 

Yes,Quite but...

What difference does it make???

 

I read somewhere he scored most of his goals for Stockport playing centrally.

 

Made me
Laugh

 

Yeah I don't rate millar anywhere nearly as highly as belloumi.

 

Not a bad player Ormondroyd. Despite being 8ft 6, he seemed better with his feet than his head.

 

It was remarkable how different a player he became. You can agree or disagree with the statement, but I once answered someone who asked what Emile Heskey brought to the England team as him being like a younger version of the old Alan Shearer, without being anything like a younger Alan Shearer.

It might have made more sense and sounded cleverer at the time tbf…

 

Warm innit.

 

Just give me a few minutes to think about that one

 

Yeah, Heskey clearly wasn’t as good (though he was a hell of a lot better than many people gave him credit for) but it’s testament to what changed about Shearer post-injury. He changed his style completely to reflect the abilities he still had rather than giving up because he’d lost the pace and some of the trickery. I’ve always got the impression that he’s probably a bit of a ****, but you can’t fault his determination.

 

He is, especially if your doing work at his house.

 

So..
Are we getting shearer and Heskey? Just skimmed through posts
