Great, we need someone else to get red cards now Streety is out.
Wish both well of course.

Re: Loan striker

Hope he burns it up. As long as he gives 100 per cent and puts himself about like Neil Grayson we can't ask for more.
If he's behind Keena in the pecking order we're doomed.

Re: The Famous Five

I held my tongue/fingers last night but it reaks of poor transfer strategy and last minute panic signings. Taylor could be a good signing, especially if it was a bench option for the remainder of the season. He can score goals at this level and is a finisher something we don't have with Keena so of...

That's true.

Selling a 30 year old goalscorer for 250k and then getting a 33 year old one for free? is shrewd business right.?

Re: Loan striker

This is akin to Blackburn Rovers signing Aiden Keena.
Even better news to come with Mattie Taylor to come in on a 2 and a half year deal.
We did get two good seasons out of Reg Varney though I suppose.

When he drops deep and plays magical cross field passes he reminds me of Harry Kane,but when he's in the penalty box he's more like Citizen Kane.

Darrell had him at Port Vale- it didn't end well. He almost single- handedly cost them getting into the play offs.

Seen him a few times- when he's good he's very good, but when he's bad .. oh dear.
