Latest Rumours Gary Borrowdale on loan?

[palexander]

Get him now and we would have a superb defence.

Borrowdale is a legend

Dear God...

Hopefully this is true. Whilst Herd has done well, a relegation battle could really affect him at such a young age. The pressure is on in every game and even Macca has come out and called all of our remaining games cup finals and the odd mistake by Herd and he can quickly affect him.

Borrowdale would bring some height and experience to a back line. I hope, if we get him, he does as well as our last left back we signed on loan in a January window.

Indeed.

If we were to suffer relegation, Herd could be deeply affected by the psychological trauma. Berated by irate fans in the South Upper, Little Johnny Herd will undoubtedly turn to illicit substances in order to keep his mood up, leaving his career in jeopardy. He'll probably be cast off from the club because of his drug addiction, leading to a life of crime that'll spiral out of control within the rotten underbelly of Westcliff, where he'll be forced to prostitute himself just to maintain his £800 a day cocaine habbit.


Needless to say, Little Johnny Herds life is in the hands of Mr. Borrowdale.

So have we not signed him?

I just saw Johnny Herd lying in the gutter with a needle in his arm, So I guess not...

[Ricey]

Not as yet..... But look at the Robinson loan, I got the text for that about an hour before the Yeovil game. So you never know ;)

Doesn't look like it. Well, not yet anyway.

I think having got this Spurs lad Barrett will switch to LB with JH as cover, leaving Clarke in the centre.

Johnny started off well but has a lot to learn defensively. He has a great long throw but only looks 15. I have seen many posts on here saying he's 17 or 18. He is actually 19, which means he probably isn't going to get much bigger.

He has a decent left foot but isn't actually that good a full back to be honest. he played exceptionally well against Chelsea but last Saturday v Yeovil his 2nd half was almost as bad as Betsy's first half, and listening to the Orient commentary Paul Clarke was quite critical saying he still has a lot to learn as a defender.

He was all over the place at Leeds too according to the radio.

He's a decent prospect but I think his size will prevent him being a top player. He's certainly not strong enough yet to plug the left back slot for the rest of the season here.

Thanks for a senisble reply to my question. Much more usefull than that Bobby (I know it all) fella!

So have we not signed him?

No. He wont come because he thinks Southend is a dump and Peter Pan's is f***ing joke even when compared to the now-decrepit Bembom Brothers. He then went on to slag off our glorious parks and said he was glad Warrior Square swimming pool was closing because he didn't want to tread on a syringe used by one of the junkies who shoot up in the changing rooms. He even suggested that our wonderful MP David Amess looks like a four year old with that stupid bowl haircut. Then to top it all, he stated in an interview on QPRs official site that new-to-the-airwaves Southend radio is 'so sh*t it makes Invicta look cutting edge'.

To be honest, with an attitude like that, I think we are better off sticking with Johnny Herd.

I wish that had been true for me - I've got a lot bigger...

 

[Colchester and proud!]

He's been on loan to the Col ewe scum!!!

Not for long he was..... er not very good :)

Opinions on Borrowdale from Col Ewe scum mates:

borrowdale? Oh no surely not, i wouldnt even wish him upon you lot!

Gary Borrowdale??? - You must be mad, I've seen him "play"!!!

Hope for your sake then it's just a rumour!! We were quite excited when we signed him on loan, he soon put pay to that after a couple of "performances"! Dervite is meant to be pretty useful though.

and from a QPR mate:

We are all a bit confused as to whos idea it was to sign him. He is yet to start a game for us. All the Cov fans were telling us he is a waste of space.

Leave Johnny Herd out of this, he's having a bad enough time as it is...

 

[RickySUFC]

i think we should stay well clear of him judging by those comment from some ewes fans.

i have good faith in johnny herd, he is a real star in the making
