Lord Horn 0 Posted May 27, 2010 [quote user="Fellas"]Any chance we could have Bell and Clingan back too? We''ll swappsies with you, Simon Lappin? [/quote]Thought that we had kept Lappin in place of Doomcaster in a sort of King of Spain for King of Spin type arrangement. [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow blood 0 Posted May 27, 2010 Bell won''t come back. He doesn''t want to move too far from Well(ingbo)rough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,329 Posted May 27, 2010 Did Clingan have a tendency to play better when other teams'' scouts were looking?He was great for us, but it was hard to shake the feeling his personal career was being put quite a long way above the club''s...

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted May 27, 2010 [quote user="Adam"]Very good signing for you boys, in his 4 years here he has been a good performer for us until Coleman took over. Coleman does not like Centre halves who like to play the ball out from the back he likes his big strong cloggers at the back. Are Norwich a passing side ? If so he will fit into your system very well as his comfortability on the ball is one of his main strengths. Elliot is definatley a top class centre back in this division and on his day he is one of the best. He does has a few weight/fitness issues but it''s nothing a good pre season can''t sort out. He definately has the potential to play in the premier league in my opinion.StrengthsVery good on the ball.Clean tackler of the ballVery good in the airGood communicator, leads the defense well - potential to be a captain in the future.WeaknessesNot the quickestCan on the occassion overplayMakes a couple of bad mistakes a seasonOn the whole a VERY good signing for you.[/quote]Am i the only person that thought of Ginger Pele ?Although weaknesses would have read :About as fast as a grandma with a zimmerOverplays and makes you soil your pants with every touch that isnt a toe punt clearanceExecutes a perfect arm drag take down submission ( Not a weakness in the world of Wrestling or Cage Fighting ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted May 27, 2010 [quote user="morty"][quote user="Adam"]Not a chance, first half of last season he was terrific for us and looked everything like a Premier League player. He got injured and come back a different player but this coincided with Colemans long ball tactics which totally bypassed Clingan. [/quote]He stood out, head and shoulders above anyone in our side the season we got relegated.Probably one of the few ex players I''d welcome back.[/quote]Agreed.

I have been told that by more than one of the current playing squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivvo 257 Posted May 28, 2010 I think it was quickest over 60 metres, it was always noticeable chasing back how quickly he caught up with the oppostion strikers, his acceleration wasn''t that fast imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
