Fulham want Lansbury.

Good for them

by GSC Fri May 16, 2014 11:23 pm

Hardings off to the MLS for some reason

by NickisBHAFC Fri May 16, 2014 11:34 pm

FFS. Love seeing him play against us, his record at the AMEX is quite impressive. That consists of 3 games, 3 yellow cards, 2 foul throws, god knows how many fouls and miss passes, and never reaching the 2nd half of football.

by GSC Mon May 19, 2014 11:03 pm

Linked with Fryatt for the 546th time

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue May 20, 2014 1:10 am

Lukas Podolski still doesnt know who that is

by GSC Tue May 20, 2014 1:11 am

Judging by Saturday he still doesnt know where Wembley is either

Pearce plz

by GSC Wed May 28, 2014 12:07 am

Apparently we've made a bid for some 2nd Division Dutch striker.

Woop.

by Derbymanc Wed May 28, 2014 1:56 am

Afternoon GSC, what are you expecting for the next season from your good selves, and how do you think Pearce will do/how long he'll last ?

by GSC Wed May 28, 2014 2:10 am

I expect a youth revolution given the success of Darlow, Lascelles and Paterson last season, and to a lesser extent Osborn (had some bright performances). Pearce's biggest impact should be in uniting a club torn by Billy and cos desire to seek revenge on everyone he felt wronged him in his first stint. Deadwood is in the process of being shifted, and the club rebuilt after nearly everyone got sacked.

I actually like Pearce as a manager, thought he did a good job with the U21s. His last tournament was abysmal, but he made a semi final and a final the 2 tournaments prior. I also don't think he needs to be anything special, if we can add a striker that isn't useless (see Cox, Henderson, Blackstock, Derbyshire (for 2.99 years), Tudgay etc) the squad is good enough to be up around the playoff places, barring a crazy run of injuries again. Stability is the key really, Leicester showed that.

by Derbymanc Wed May 28, 2014 2:15 am

I think Pearce is okay, but have a horrible feeling for you that it's been done to placate the fans. I am hoping that you get it together though as it's always a better season when we're close together.

by cherriesfna Wed May 28, 2014 2:19 am

Happy u let Jara go, completely useless

by GSC Wed May 28, 2014 2:21 am

Thats why I was rooting for QPR Whistle

by Derbymanc Wed May 28, 2014 2:28 am

Good excuse GSC

I'm guessing that must be Veldwijk? Couple of midtable Eredivisie sides interested in him too. Would probably be better off showing he can do it there first, the Dutch second division is awful.

by GSC Sun Jun 08, 2014 11:21 pm

Pearce told SSN we're announcing 2 signings tomorrow apparently.

Pretty sure 1 is Peltier.

by GSC Mon Jun 09, 2014 4:36 pm

Pretty sure I'm wrong. Apparently 2 strikers, Veldwijk (****s sake) and Fryatt (****s sake)

by GSC Mon Jun 09, 2014 8:24 pm

Seems 1 will be Fryatt on a free. Other is up in the air

by NickisBHAFC Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:54 am

FFS i really wanted to sign Fryatt.

by GSC Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:13 am

Why? Hes pretty average

by GSC Tue Jun 10, 2014 6:56 am

Fryatt signs

by cherriesfna Tue Jun 10, 2014 7:43 am

Fryatts decent , just stay away from Wilson

by GSC Tue Jun 10, 2014 7:48 am

We scouted him already and passed.

Cov want 3m

by NickisBHAFC Tue Jun 10, 2014 8:36 am

Fryatt will easily score 20 odd goals. Forest again looking to be big spenders, wonder if they bottle and choke again.

Wish we signed Fryatt Sad

by GSC Tue Jun 10, 2014 8:31 pm

Veldwijks returned to Holland to mull over the offer.

So thats a no then

by NickisBHAFC Wed Jun 11, 2014 3:22 am

You don't need anymore strikers. You have the best striker in the league Matty Fryatt. Him and Simon Cox upfront will be the next Vokes and Ings i recon.

You've spent more than us thus far

by GSC Wed Jun 11, 2014 4:13 am

And Rhodes is the best striker in the league by a country mile.

by GSC Wed Jun 11, 2014 4:23 am

Eastick says the Veldwijk deal could go through in the next 24 hours. Medical passed and deal agreed with club and player. He asked for time to mull it over, which is fair enough for a 22 year old moving abroad I suppose

By bringing in some random player on a free, who will be on lower wages than Fryatt?

by GSC Wed Jun 11, 2014 4:56 am

Alright the same as us then

by TopoftheChops Wed Jun 11, 2014 7:10 am

Matty Fryatt is a great signing. I heard koren and burke may join forest aswell

by GSC Wed Jun 11, 2014 8:03 am

Eastick already shot the Koren rumor down.

Doesn't make sense with Osborn and potentially Blake coming through.

The Burke rumor is 2 years old. Rather find another in the mold of Paterson. Abdoun needs selling first

by NickisBHAFC Wed Jun 11, 2014 8:37 am

Burke is a poor Championship player.

Koren is class, would be a top top signing.

by GSC Wed Jun 11, 2014 9:14 pm

Spurs and Liverpool want Darlow it seems.

Not overly concerned if we lose him for a big fee, De Vries is proven at this level, have to be ripped off though really.

by GSC Fri Jun 13, 2014 3:25 am

Lars Veldwijk signs. One for the future

by GSC Wed Jun 18, 2014 12:54 am

John Marshall joins as Head of Recruitment. Chief Scout at Fulham, then Senior scout at the FA prior.

Tranmere away in the ~~annual waste of time~~ COC

by GSC Wed Jun 18, 2014 7:13 pm

Blackpool at home first day, Cardiff into the playoffs at home on the last day.

Derby in September and Jan

by GSC Fri Jun 20, 2014 6:06 pm

Anyway, getting back to annual crippling disappointment, we signed Louis Laing on a free

by Derbymanc Fri Jun 20, 2014 7:25 pm

At least you've got news GSC it's all gone quiet up our way :-( although i'm living in hope that it's because we're going after some proper players rather than buying for buyings sake.

by GSC Fri Jun 20, 2014 7:26 pm

Well West Brom rejected a bid shy of 1m for Thorne from you lot.

Also the rumor that you had a bid of 5m rejected for McCormack amused me.

Pretty sure we need to sell to buy at this point.
