WeAreYellows49 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Well January is a long way, and TBH we have wide wingers already. I think this is old news rehashed as there isn''t much else going on ATM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-ru 0 Posted September 9, 2009 I agree WAY49, there doesn''t seem to be much activity anywhere today and it may be that the BBC are recycling news. Don''t think another winger would be a bad thing though with Whaley not really producing at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted September 9, 2009 I think there could be something in it. We''re clearly lacking pace down the wings at the moment. Whaley has a bit of pace about him but he''s yet to impress.And if Lappin was to get injured we''d be struggling a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury Yellow 2 Posted September 9, 2009 Lambert said when he first came in that we lacked pace. The game against Walsall proved that point.I would be happy with some pace out wide and more to play alongside Holt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-ru 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Bump- I think it''s maybe the fact that one of the guys on the Norwich board is at Archant too. Not saying that this makes it concrete, but more likely. With previous interest in the player and Lambert looking to get in his own players for the fast pace game he likes.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Width unless you are an exceptionally talented player requires pace also. We have McVeigh who is no winger and comes inside constantly. We have Lappin who''s total lack of pace and inability to beat players means we have a talented crosser who has to do so in free flowing play from deep far to often and we have Whaley who just a joke panic buy.

Camuldonum 0 Posted September 9, 2009 [quote user="Dion Dublin Legend"]http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/8245908.stm[/quote]It''s not really an old story. The Swindon manager was responding the questions because sports journalists down that way were tipped off that you tried to get the player. He''s played quite well so far this season so it seems unlikely they would let him out on loan unless you waved a lot more money on an "option to buy" deal.

Herman 9,584 Posted September 9, 2009 Does anybody know anything about him/seen him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camuldonum 0 Posted September 9, 2009 A little bit. He''s a Boothroyd protege and played in the Watford side that went up - also got his first Premier League start. Speedy left midfield winger (I''ve seen him play on both flanks) but a bit of a disadvantage is that he''s tiny - 5ft 6 or thereabouts and is easily knocked off the ball if you can catch him. Not a goalscorer but a goal maker. His pace is his best asset and he''s a good crosser of the ball. His best time was at Watford with Boothroyd and he''s sort of slipped down the pole since then.Swindon fans say he has started the season well for them and I would expect him to be a threat against U''s on Saturday. He''s certainly someone you have to cut out if you can.The start of his career was nearly wrecked because he''s asthmatic but it didn''t seem him to affect him too badly at either Watford or subsequently at Swindon. Certainly has pace which is possibly why you are interested? He had quite a number of starts at Watford but Boothroyd also used him as a player to take on tired defences with 20 minutes to go.

Ian 1,117 Posted September 9, 2009 This probably explains why Lambert is so desperate to get rid of Wes and Doc, obviously the funds are not there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted September 10, 2009 We lacked pace against Wallsall because Lambert picked Cureton instead of Cody, not because it wasn''t available !! [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,512 Posted September 10, 2009 Watford fans I know say his asthma was a big problem, and he has been subbed after about an hour in 3 of his games this season-not sure if that was down to asthma though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USAcanary 0 Posted September 11, 2009 The problem is Swindon are a bit flush with cash after selling Cox....... If we are looking for a creative left winger to bring from the bench, there is one available after 24th October! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
