Taking he signs on...

[BaileytheQuitter]

How does everyone feel about the potential signing of Lee Barnard?

Im delighted we have been able to attract this sort of player, will give him my full backing and hope he produces the good.

COME ON YOU BLUESSSS!

 

[Bluetonic]

I'd rather write my feelings in the other twenty threads.

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

Fair enough...

Has never impressed me when i've seen him and can't say im excited about the signing... I'll give him the chance he rightly deserves and the time to settle in, but people banding him about as the solution to our problem are going to be disappointed i'm afraid.

Is it me or is the bloke just holding the cats body and the head is seperatly on his shoulder?

 

[fredheim_holm]

I'm excited about it, hopefully he can play tomorrow but depends on the formalities and his injury.

In my opinion 5'10 is not tall enough for what we are looking for, though I will reserve my judgement until I actually see him play (if he signs).

Agreed, I hope he does very well and scores many for us.

On what I've seen in the past and on his record, I'm not too thrilled at all as I said before when his name cropped up. So I'm going with the wait and see answer.

HOWEVER. I will give him a chance and I am looking on the positives that he must have something if Tottenham kept him on so long and also that he's scored so many goals against Prem reserve teams. £75,000 won't be a massive loss if he's a dud, unlike the stupid money we've paid for poor strikers recently.

He cant be worse than what we have got and at 75k cant complain....

I sincerely doubt that he's worse that the strikers we have here already, however I've seen a whole lot worse that Hooper, Harrold and MacDonald in the not too distant past... :p

Richard Young cost 25k , now that was a waste of money (especially considering the financial state of the club at that time)

Just checked his stats and he was only 18/19 when we signed him. I didn't realise I was being so harsh on a youngster... :(

Exactly, he's probably a half-decent player but he's not the 6 foot 3 experienced centre-half that we need to replace Clarke.

Ok, he can be worse then what we have, but as he at least has some sort of scoring record with Spurs reserves lets hope thats an indication he is better :)

Indeed - although I remain unconvinced by the claim that premier league reserve football is of greater standard that League One (where's the competitive edge?) at least he appears to know where the net is and all that! ;)

 

[Rayleigh boy]

i would prefer to take a chance on a youngster rather than gettoing some old pro in (unlike Wayne Rooney perhaps)
