Morning Everyone, Who's feeling positive today, who's got the Monday Morning blues? So, the contorium intervened to try and Persuade Snodds to stay, and although it did not work, it shows that at least the buyers are still in place. Does anyone know how long it took Abromo... Abr... Roman to purchase Chelski? Colin wants to keep McCormack. According to the gaffer McCormack is enjoying himself at Leeds. You never know folks, maybe he'll do a White! It would be nice to keep a few faces from last season. I'll bravely suggest our starting line up next season, tell me what you think! Kenny Peltier White Lees Pearce Varney Green Austin Rogers Becchio McCormack Stronger, weaker or much ther same as last season. Yes we have lost Snodds, but.... Warnock thinks us fans are amazing !!!! Speaking on Yorkshire Radio, Warnock said, "Look at the fans. What can you say about them, for a pre-season friendly, it was amazing."I don`t think the new players knew what had hit them. It even took me by surprise - Torquay in midweek!." Could Warnock be playing mind games, knowing how important fan power is? Thoughts?
Morning all. So who's coming & who's going this week? Talk of Paynter leaving. Boo hoo! & possibly Beckfor& Peltier arriving. Yipppeee doo!!!!!!. I'll believe it when I see it & if it happens, all we would need to worry about would be creativity if sides park a bus.
Morning Elland. I was wondering when you'd start the morning thread. As you have, probably better to either merge with or close my MAC thread.
No probs. I promise not to take it too personally (storms off in huff, rotties throwing themselves in traps just in case!!!!)
, yer forgot your handbag Who'd you reckon will be Captain this season? I reckon Colin might give it to Ross, in an attempt to make him stay!!!
Morning all For me the team will look like this. PS. I don't think the Captain will be announced until the transfer window closes as it could be the carrot needed to land an influential player. GK Kenny RB Thomson CB Pearce CB Lees LB Drury CM Austin CM Green CM Brown AMF White AMF Varney CF Becchio
Old Peacock, pretty sure warnock has already said Thompson is going out on loan. That team actually looks terrible as well
Morning all - I would say that starting line-up is at VERY best equal to last seasons team that crossed the line which we know finished us 14th - Worse than the team that started last season - I feel Drury will start at LB and White will be used as a winger or super sub to inject pace when needed.
Morning all Not around much today, got another trip to Winchester hospital to deal with Any idea what time the divings on today? Paynter being linked with Blackpool
Dury will deffo start. White could even be the guy to play in the hole if we dont sign anyone! Back five so much stronger than before, but we are lacking creativity and that little bit of flair. I do think the squad assembled so far are more than capable of finishing above 14th though as we are going to be very hard to beat. Couple more exciting signings then I will be as happy as I can be considering Snods gone
I would imagine Thompson will be going nowhere if we do not sign a right back. This is my best guess before any more signings. Norris might squeeze into it and Austin might start as a sub until he gets used to the English game. Who knows whether its a strong team, it certainly should have plenty of bite.
although not his favoured position, Green has played at right back so could be used in emergencies...
Crainey in the centre & Lees out wide has been Warnocks line up pre season. Dont know if he will sign Crainey but I am sure he is just having a look to see if Lees can do a job there. Personally I think we will bring a RB in and Crainey maybe signed as CB back up or to compete with Lees
Yea, I think we should be signing Crainie. Although I haven't seen any pre-season games I still think he would serve as decent back-up
My concern with him would be the amount of time Warnock is taking over signing him. Gray was signed up before anyone else made a move, forget my opinion on Gray, NW obviously felt a need to get him signed up quick. If Crainie was any good surely NW would have secured him down by now? The extended trial suggests he is not that good and will only be signed if we can't get better??
I think its out of order if he doesn't offer him a contract. How long has he been on trial, if we don't intend to sign him then we should allow him to go trial elsewhere. I hate it when football clubs do this to players
