The new striker is....

Elliot Benyon.

 

[palexander]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

 

[Streaky]

Great work Strurock, such a difference when we have players lined up at the start of the TW rather than waiting for the last knockings.

"On 20 June 2011, it was revealed that Benyon had been loaned to newly-promoted Wycombe Wanderers until the end of the season"

^^How will this affect him signing? Will his loan be terminated effective 1st of January? or has he already returned to Swindon?

Relations obviously ok with Di Canio then, bodes well for the Timlin deal.

I just wonder if a certain Mr Grant will be involved in a swap deal for Timlin ? :unsure:

 

[blue79]

A good signing I'm sure. If we also sign Timlin why would Swindon agree to sell these two to us when we are promotion rivals? It might well bite them on the bum.

 

[palexander]

Credit again to the hierarchy for making a PAID deal - considering we havent offloaded anyone yet either (and Timlin apparently close to signing).

Cant say we arent trying this year!

looks like he is very happy to be signing for us....

 

[sufclee]

I did say this yesterday....

 

[Smiffy]

A very, very good striker at this level.

Let's hope he has his shooting boots on.

Welcome Elliot.

A fee as well!...Timlin next....

He looks over the moon in that photo.

Could be a very good signing, not had much football recently though. Just hope we get the ball down as hes obviously not a big targetman.

Not a problem, a wee birdie tells me we're expecting a delivery later today

Swindon fans not that fussed about losing Benyon (they lined up a swap for Leon Clarke -> Paul Benson). Did notice some of them said Benyon was on high wages - no wonder he looks so pee'd off coming here then! :whistling:

 

[Bielzibubz]

Bloody hell! He looks positively chuffed to bits..........................not.

Welcome anyway Elliot.

But if he has taken a pay cut to come here and play more it shows a good positive attitude

 

[fredheim_holm]

Good news.

Anyone seen this lad play before? Style of play? What we can expect?

46 goals in 88 games for Torquay, that's quite a record. If he can get close to being back to that form then it'll be an inspired signing.
