Aaron Davies

[Easy 10]

An aside.

Talked to my Dad last night who has given up his season ticket this year having been a regular since 1971. He said he was following commentaries on the radio but was struggling to picture the game not having seen half the team or even remembering which name was playing for which side (he is mid-70s). I added the Dicker/Dickinson similarity cant help. Now we have 2 players who are wingers/strikers both called Davies? How else can we confuse our supporters?

a) Bring back Mr President as radio summariser "Dick...eerrrrr"?
b) Sign some more players or coaches called Dean?
c) Sign Kevin Davies?

I'd go for c). Well if Notts County can sign Sol?!?

I'll shut up now.

Good job we got shot of Mark Wright (who played on the right) and kept Jake Wright (who plays on the left) then isn't it.
Or have we ?

I've gone and confused meself now.

Ok, so Wright (who I think looked fairly decent) is signed for nothing and sold for a 'five figure fee'.

That could be ten grand.

And we probably gave him a few grand signing on fee.

So not exactly a SUPER deal. I'd have rather kept him to be honest.

It could also be just £111.11!!! All depends where you put the point!

Matt Bellamy of Muse:

Arron Davies of Brighton & Hove Albion:

Is your post supposed to suggest they look alike?

 

[The Uninvited Guest]

That play off footage looks bloody good...

Hope he can do it for us..

Also where will he play? Maybe upfront as he is not necessarily just a midfielder/winger..

PLs put youtube Forest v Yeovil play off up on NSC

 

[The Large One]

Who was I hoping for? An attacking central midfield player.

Is that too much to ask when its been obviously we have been crying out for one for about two seasons now?

Perhaps the clue in what you were after was mentioned in English on the club press release...

"Arron is a more-than-adequate replacement for Wrighty. He can play on either wing, as an attacking midfielder, and he is a player I know very well from my time at Yeovil. I expect him to be a very good acquisition for the club."

That's the other confusing one he mentioned. At least that's resolved. Keep up at the back.

I said who? not what? You must have some candidates to be so constantly underwhelmed by us getting what you consider to be inferior players.

Of course it's not too much to ask for but the reality is as I said in the rest of my post - they aren't 10 a penny and they certainly aren't queing up. Davies gives us another striker option and if you watch the Forest play off game he certainly is creative. Moon on a f***ing stick with a lot on here, give the bloke a chance and then moan if he turns out to be a dud.

 

[forumwayseagull]

Play off game he looked bloody good, and could even play upfront with Dickinson....(in a free creative attacking role)

I mentioned this lad about 2 months ago.....as I thought he might be part of the lynch swap deal........a real class act and for me this will turn out to be our best bit of summer business.

 

[upthealbion1970]

Bloody hell, their medical staff must be shit.

he'll get on well with our medical staff then...........

 

[Husty]

What we need is a creative midfielder, we dont have a creative midfielder, unless we get one in on loan, we wont be going anywhere this season

 

[The Ringleader]

he seems alright to me

I'm asuming Wright has shagged Mrs.Slade

 

[Easy 10]

Dicker is a creative midfielder.
Sadly he can't do it from the bench though.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Just put this on another thread:

Mark Wright was wanted by Bristol Rovers before he signed for us. I think the "failed to settle" story is just a cover-up for thanks but we've got someone else in now.

you mean spit roasted her with dicker

was thinking that myself

 

[grummitts gloves]

A. Davies, Dicker, Thornhill, Bennett. That's what I call a midfield! Go on Slade, I dare you?

Thornhill?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Thornhill?

Yes, Matt Thornhill. We signed him 6 weeks ago from Forest on loan as part of the Joel Lynch deal.

I agree and hopefully there is the possibility of making the loan permanent.

TBH getting really pissed off with the negativity on here but guess our results so far this season have made it inevitable

Yeah another player who slade doesn't try
