Do you want us to fail or something? Having seen this particular player on a couple of occasions, I have to say I think it''s a good signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Saturday Comes 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Don''t know much about him but it''s another body in with minimal expense so can''t really complain. Can''t imagine he''ll start off as first choice but depends who''s here I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colneycanary 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Just because he''s tall doesn''t mean he''s any good!! Very injury prone and only played a hatful of games for Swansea. His previous club was Bangor. How anybody can say he''s a good signing is beyond me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjwc22 0 Posted June 16, 2009 He was highly rated by the Wales national team, though not sure how high praise that is.Could be the new Carl Robinson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he was any good Swansea would be keeping him![/quote]Colney, you clearly haven''t done a lot of reading on the lad.He''s played around 30 games for Swansea and played 11 times for Swindon on loan last year. Yes, injuries have curtailed his appearences, but prior to his injuries he was very highly rated and played regularly for Wales. I saw the lad playing for the Welsh U21 side against England. Wales were awful, but Tudur Jones bossed them around and had a very good long range effort pushed onto the bar by whoever it was in England''s goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Flashheart 0 Posted June 16, 2009 I''ve never seen him play. Still, BOO! RUBBISH! LACK OF AMBITION! GUNN OUT! BOARD OUT! BOOOOOO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxy is a Pleasure 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Seems to have a lot of potential. Lets just hope he can stay fit long enough to realise it, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted June 16, 2009 This from the BBC is very interesting; Chwaraewr canol cae i Gymru ac i Abertawe.Gwnaeth Owain Tudur Jones ei farc yn fuan fel aelod rheolaidd o sgwad y Swans ar ôl ymuno ag Abertawe o Glwb Pêl-droed Bangor yn 2005 am ffi o £5000. Roedd wedi bod ym Mangor am bedair blynedd a chyn hynny roedd yn aelod o dîm Porthmadog oedd yn chwarae yn y Cymru Alliance ar y pryd.Yn ei dymor cyntaf yn Abertawe cafodd ei alw i garfan dan 21 Cymru ar gyfer gêm gyfeillgar gyda Malta, gan ddod i''r maes fel eilydd. Cafodd ei alw hefyd i garfan lawn Cymru i''r gemau cyfeillgar yn erbyn Gwlad y Basg a Thrinidad a Tobago ond ni allodd chwarae gan fod Abertawe wedi cyrraedd y gemau ail-gyfle.Ond bu''r chwaraewr 6'' 2" allan o''r gêm am ran helaeth o dymor 2006/2007 ar ôl cael anaf ddifrifol a llawdriniaeth i''w ben-glin.Er hynny ymestynnwyd ei gontract gydag Abertawe a thua diwedd tymor 2007/2008 roedd yn ôl ar y cae.Enillodd ei gap cyntaf dros Gymru mewn gêm gyfeillgar gyda Gwlad yr Ia yn Reykjavik fis Mawrth 2008.

rjwc22 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Something about Trinidad and Tobago in there, but apart from that I am lost.Apparently OTJ is a welsh speaker and gees the Swansea team up with Welsh language pep talks before matches. Like to see him do that at CR on the PA system, probably make as much sense as Delia... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted June 16, 2009 I''m pretty excited about Tudur, so much so I''m getting a ten(t)pole[;)]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNJbJAjM5Ho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted June 16, 2009 Should be more than ok at this level if injuries are indeed a thing of the past (and as someone else said he played quite a few games last season). Also, at 6''4 he ought to give us a bit of height and physical presence at set pieces which will be vital in League 1 and which we have not had for years.

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted June 16, 2009 i''m very happy with this signing, remember seeing him a couple of seasons ago for Swansea and being impressed as was the Wales set up, obviously since then he''s suffered a couple of injuries but if he stays fit he''ll be a real asset to the club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlos Valderrama 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Players have come back from serious injury problems to have good careers. The lad is young and very tall which can sometimes cause problems in its own right. I agree that this signing is a bit of a gamble, but it could pay off....Promising fuor me, will give a good central physical presence I feel we have been lacking since Etuhu left.

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Potentialy a good signing,but,like others,I''ve seen to many "sick note" players signed by NCFC over the years to get too worked up just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curnster 0 Posted June 16, 2009 I remember seeing him play in the play-off final against Barnsley a few years ago and he had a very good game. He''s a risk due to his injuries, but he''s a decent player who is not short of potential. That''s the kind of market we''re in. Could be a very good signing.

PhatCanary 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Again like Gill never seen the guy play,the injuries are a worry but if he stays fit he is the type of player we need in league 1,again you can''t judge him before he has kicked a ball!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g00se 21 Posted June 16, 2009 I can''t recall seeing him play but I''ll go with others and look forward to it - fingers crossed he stays fit.According to this, the swans wanted him to sign a new contract: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_5347948,00.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minster Canary 0 Posted June 16, 2009 If he stays fit, then a potentially great signing. Mind you, he''d be on a freebie, so there is little to lose with this guy.Good work, Gunny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
