Breaking News Noor Husin Signs

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

He may have had a decent career but Jamie Vardy isn’t fit to lick Stan’s boots.

We’re talking about a British transfer record. Someone whose combination of pace, power and size is maybe unprecedented. Someone who would get people off their seats if he picked the ball up with his back to goal on the halfway line.

Yep, see your point and the direction you are coming from. I was coming from totally unknown to top level and making the breakthrough to international level. As you quite rightly say, Vardy and Collymore vastly different types of player.

Bale would definitely be a candidate. Going back a bit further, John Barnes would possibly fit into the pick the ball up deep....... category, but that type of player is very rare as you say and why when you have one in your team it is a period to cherish.

I suppose the closest candidate might be Jamie Vardie at Morecombe?

I thought Vardy came from Fleetwood..

Regardless, Noor looks like a signing for us.

I think Leicester fans might wholly disagree that Vardy isn't fit to lick Stan's boots. He's been immense for them and scored some fantastic goals over many seasons. Such a shame he retired from England duty. Stan was certainly one to get you on your feet, likewise Ricky Otto. We haven't had anyone like that in years and years.

Strange with all that undoubted talent that Vardy and our Stan only mustered 29 England appearances between them and Vardy walked away from England in 2018 saying he didnt want to play at that level apparently
Very interesting and independently minded characters

Can I please nominate Cyrille Regis (plucked from Hayes, similar attributes);

Like Thierry Henry?

 

[Tony Allen]

Peter Taylor wasn't too shabby for us as I recall

Well he did sign a contract to join SUFC so I guess you're right

I’m not sure any other club has uncovered a Stan though.

So we have the best track record...excellent :-) I'm encouraged. Must be the sea air...and the fans...and the excellent coaching set up...all in place now for discovering the next batch of Freddies and Stans.

 

[gpd]

For me ...a "Freddie" is someone from a lower league who thrives here, achieves legend status, and moves on up. A "Stan" is someone who came down a league (or two) and did an amazing job for us, achieves legend status before either a) retiring eg The Goat or b) going back up to higher ground (and getting us some decent cash to boot). I'm happy with either a Freddie or a Stan...but I'm open to us having both. We seem to be beginning to look for "Freddies" and I really hope those we have make the impact we are hoping for. Now for the "Stans". Of recent years...only Ranger had the potential to be a "Stan" but had SO much baggage, and many character flaws which destroyed all that potential.

 

[Cricko]

So we haven't really gone much off topic here then. ?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Are you suggesting Noor isn’t the next Collymore

 

[gpd]

Are you suggesting Noor isn’t the next Collymore

I think he's a potential "Freddie" (as is Cardwell)..... except a "Freddie" who already has international experience.

 

[gpd]

Only so much you can say about the arrival of a player....so lets develop the thread? ;-)

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

So to summarise - absolutely no pressure on the new bloke.

A GOOD signing…. Was too preoccupied in being a smartass about Vardy…?

My mistake, you are quite right...... ?

 

[gpd]

None whatsoever...

Palace must of been kicking himself after he left us and went on to be the star he become
