Honestly? Can't say that signing Prosser has me excited, but having four Centre Back's does and as long as Prosser is here, he'll have my support.

Is having 4 centre-backs our way to cure the long-term problem of defending set pieces ?

 

[Jai]

A bit weird that the article says they both played today when neither of them did. Nitpicking I suppose but still a bit strange.

Shame as Barker sounds like he is only for cover, but sounds like he has got great pedigree. 29, played a lot in the CCC for Stoke and got Cardiff's POTY in 2005. Doubt we'd be able to get him permanently, but I guess he'll be 1st choice for the start of the season.

It'll be interesting to see if he's just temporary cover for Gilbert until he's back fit, if that is the case it really is excellent cover. If not and we did manage to get him longer term then what a fantastic acquisition that would be - especially as he can play anywhere across the back 4.

Only if they all play at the same time and we're allowed 13 on the pitch!

In July 2009, a "momentary lapse of concentration" led to Prosser hitting 108mph on the M6 Toll road. Two months later he was banned from driving for seven days and fined £225 (plus £50 costs)

Simple mistake I suppose.

Done it myself. But I didn't get banned :)

Where is the confirmation of Barker and Simpson?

Here I am.

Got it from Barry Corr himself. Also I have snaps of myself, my daughter, Barker and Simpson so I cn confirm its true.

I assuming loan deals can't be confirmed until the embargo is lifted? Where as we're signing free agents on pre contract deals, I take it we can't sign someone on a pre contract loan?

One note to add.
Tilson would never be able to attract all these players to the club, this is what Sturrock has done and they all want to play Football

 

[Bluesmanager]

Yea, but given that its only for a month, its clearly more as cover, than a view to anything longer.

Or it's an extended trial...

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Or it's an extended trial...

It's one month's cover because neither Gilbert nor Herd will be fit to start the season.

I'm sure all the players Tilson signed wanted to play football, but I imagine they wanted to get paid for doing it like most people. I hope it won't, but the wheels will fall off the Sturrock love bus when Ronald forgets or just plain can't put the money in the bank.

Hahaha! Ah, what a comment. Tilson got agreement from better players than this lot to come here.

I guess because loans are also subject to the embargo, and you can't sign a 'pre-loan agreement', so we'll have to wait fot the lifting of the embargo for this one.

I guess this shows that Sturrock has no faith in Johnny Herd.

Herd isn't fit at the moment and won't be ready to start the season.

Nonsense, have a look at the list of players Tilson signed, all of whom wanted to play football, and no doubt wanted to be paid for the privilege. How short memories are.

 

[MK Shrimper]

How short memories are.

Amen. It's like the Khmer Rouge round here sometimes.

 

[McNasty]

How short memories are.

How young some of the posters are.

was chatting to one of the older generation today and was told that 40+ players turned up for the the first day of training under Paul Sturrock eager to join this club, and we both agreed that if Tilly was still in control that number would have been in single figures.

Although Tilly is a good manager he simply does not have the contacts that this new management teams has and that has been proven by the amount of new faces being brought into the club

 

[Jack The Flag]

If we still had Tilson now what players could we have got in, Sturrocks done well to bring them in and lucky he has done that ...
All we need now is the embargo lifted!
