Beno27 0 Posted December 22, 2005 After my Marlon King post, I felt the need to prove my point once more that there are some fantastic players available on the cheap. I dont expect us to get ALL of these, but I''m gutted that we cant even pick up a few, it''d be better that the Hughes'' or Jarretts or Thornes or Louis Jeans of this world, coinsidentally, for the price we paid for say Hughes and Colin(a good player I''ll admit) we could have bought every player in this squad...Ian Walker-freeClarke Carlisle- £100kMaurice Ross-free (24 yr old Scotland defender)Craig Short-freeDavid Unsworth- freeJohn Spicer £35kMarco Reich- freeSeth Johnson- freeIan Hume-£500kKevin Doyle-Tiny fee from an Irish club (one of championship top scorers)Billy Sharp-£100k (2nd in league one top scorers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Add Jason Koumas - Year loan!!And I still think Paul Ifill at 700,000 was a bargain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3pmkickoff 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Ian Walker-Still on a fair wedge, we are blessed with keepersClarke Carlisle- Surplus to requirements at Leeds, a few problemsMaurice Ross-Moved to Sheff Weds, quickly moved outCraig Short- Is that the tune to Steptoe and Son I hear?David Unsworth- DittoJohn Spicer - AverageMarco Reich- DecentSeth Johnson- Injuries ago-goIan Hume- MehKevin Doyle-Looks a good buyBilly Sharp- Surplus at Sheff UtdSo on reflection I''ll stick with the bus fare home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted December 22, 2005 David Unsworth would have been a good buy - he can take a pen too. Kevin Doyle is a good player, Seth Johnsen would have hooked up well with Safri,, John Spicer and Reich are DecentPeter Thorne - AverageJason Jarrett - Move to norwich, quickly shipped outJurgen Colin - Meh, never seen over the half way lineMatheus Louis jean - Injuries ago-goDean Marney - MehCarl Robinson - AverageDickson Etuhu - MehMe ill stick with Edworthy, Svennson and Koumas thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beno27 0 Posted December 22, 2005 dont get me wong, i dont want this as our starting 11, but a lot of these players are just as good as what we''ve got. Eg. Ashton and doyle up front wouldve been immense. Johnsnis better than Robinson etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest he is a vey good find and a risk that worked out. IMO if Worthy had risked this he and the board would have been slaughtered as lacking ambition. .

Huddy 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Marlon Who?We have ashton, mcveigh and huckerby all in form, with mckenzie raring to go. Who needs him ?, not us thats for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beno27 0 Posted December 27, 2005 I cant believe people would turn down the top scorer for £500,000 because we''ve got mckenzie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If ashton had gone he would of been a good signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
