So Looking at the Echo it says timlin is now out and training again - how long do you think it will take him to get back to match fit? do we know if he kept himself fit in the slammer? - will he even sign a new contract? if he can recreate the form he had before he broke his leg that would be a great addition to the side

a lot of people are writing us off already before a football has been kicked we have only lost clohessy, tomlin and britt (and mohsni!)

lets judge the team come the season and not based on pre-season friendlies

rant over - get behind the blues.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

A fit Michael Timlin would be like a new signing.

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Great for Mr Timlin. I hope he now has a burning desire to put this behind him and make a success of his life.

"only" lost?? Bloody hell, four of our best!! ONLY?????

 

[MK Shrimper]

Timlin's out? Too much time in the prison showers can do that to a man :stunned:

 

[tommy tucker]

Which 4 of our best have we lost then .I can only think of two off OURbest we have lost

 

[lawrenceaustin]

clohessy - right back - had a poor second half of the season, replaceable
Tomlin - quick but wasted too many chances
britt - hot and cold
mohsni - liability

We're trying to add stability and cover - bring in a new striker and perhaps another midfielder who can really create chances and i think we'll be up there

Rooney is definately unsettled at Man U - It's worth asking the question

Clohessey is the best right back we have had in a long long time, got player of the year and in the team of the year squad. Not that easily replaceable at all.

Tomlin and Britt got how many goals between them last year?

 

[tommy tucker]

Ok you have named the two best of our players we have lost CLOHESSY and TOMLIN Britt wasn't ours he was a loan MOHSNI well enough said . AND the rest we lost were either bit part players or loans .So no matter how you look at it we have only lost two of our main first team :winking:

 

[Rob1920]

Problem at this level is there are a lot of very talented footballers who for whatever reason can only do it for short periods. Clohessy had dropped to non-league before we rescued him, and he then had 2 1/2 good seasons, but fell away towards the end last year. Maybe he just can't sustain it. Be interesting to see how he does over the next season or two. Tomlin is another example, bags of talent, no long-term consistency. Hence an entire career spent in the lower leagues. Wouldn't surprise me to see him warming Vale's bench before long.

Not saying we don't need more players to replace them, just not convinced our season would be any the better had they stayed.

We lost Keith Dublin and Julian Hails and somehow survived those POTY losses. Clinging to that helps me through the day.

 

[southend4ever]

so who is going to be backing the blues to get promoted this season?

 

[danburyshrimper]

Will Atkinson is the new Julian Hails !!!! watch him play , the resemblance is uncanny

 

[southend4ever]

were the players briefed on how to handle his return? pretty sensitive i would think.

 

[danburyshrimper]

Timlin can UNLOCK defences with his passing, its a shame the JURY WAS OUT on him with some fans last season :winking:

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

were the players briefed on how to handle his return? pretty sensitive i would think.

Sensitive? Yes - they were told not to call him a knob for being so stupid behind the wheel of a car. Or perhaps they were told not to refer to him directly as "idiot". :'(

If he signs for the club I will get right behind him - rehabilitation back into society and all that.

 

[C V Shrimper]

were the players briefed on how to handle his return? pretty sensitive i would think.

Advised not to get a lift to training with him and definately don't give him your driving licence details!

Will be great to have him back!
