    These seem to be the three players being heavily linked with us, boyd has apparently said he would love to play for us, how happy would we all be if these were the last 3 signings before the start of the season ??

    Wet Sham have signed Andy Carrol so this frees up Maynard as well.

    Well ****ing pissed off.

    We don't need another striker (Beckford) since we already have McCormack and Somma in that mould, but in addition to a right back (Peltier) to replace Connolly and an attacking mid (Boyd) to replace Howson, we still need a central mid to replace Clayton and a winger to replace Snodgrass.

    Beckford i can understand but why are you filling your team up with average players. When/If the investment comes in and you will be able to attract better players you will struggle getting these off the books. I dont understand half your signings this summer.

    Boyd is ****. Nowhere near the standard needed, don't care how much he wants to play for us.

    Luke Varney, Andy Gray, Paul Green, Jamie Ashdown, Adam Drury

    If you are trying to get promoted they wont be good enough. And if the takeover goes through they will just turn into deadwood which you wont be able to shift

    Can't remember ever seeing that much of him, just heard the reviews - what's he good/poor at?

    Similar to Snodgrass. Slightly slower but doesn't have the strength or skill Snoddy has to make up for it. Basically Snoddy but worse in every way, not what we need.

    I'm sorry but Paul Green is **** and Ashdown will be lucky to play 5 games.

    Paul Green is **** <doh> and Ashdown is a backup for paddy, unless you would prefer Rachubka ?


    Boyd's creative nature is emphasised by the fact that he has assisted over 50 goals for Peterborough during his time at London Road............

    Yes, Paul Green is ****. <ok>

    Just pointing out that you can hardly hold a back-up 'keeper up as a decent signing.

    At league 1. He's too good for League 1 but not good enough to go above mid-table in the Championship.

    Yes he is. <ok>

    Failed miserably on loan at Forest and went running back to P'Boro with his ridiculous hair between his legs.

    I am okay with peltier as he is better than Connelly and I am a fan of Beckford and he offers us an option of pace up front - Boyd, I originally thought okay to but the more I read about his lack of pace and being useless in the air I have gone off the idea.

    Agree, would like Peltier and I think Beckford would be a great signing to pick up morale. There are much better options out there than Boyd. Hopefully Swansea still aren't keen on Dobbie.

    You can when you look at what we have had before pal....as a back up keeper he is pretty good.
