Colin Hawkins to sign

[The Oldman]

1 down, 5 to go for Adams


I cant help but feel if Wilkins had signed him, some people on here would be in uproar - a has been player/never heard of him/too old - any reason they could think of.

Well said. Having said that we have to now trust MA's judgement.

For " no-nonsense" read: a hard man who's going to win a lot of headers, hoof the ball and kick a few people. We all know you have to have someone like that in the side in this division. He'll probably take a few out with that nose too. Good to see us get someone signed up so early in the close season. Shows we mean business in strengthening the squad.

Yes but with a name like Colin Hawkins he sounds more like a Science Teacher..now if he was called Spud McGraw that would sound more 'no nonsense' centre half!

Oi, watch it NIGEL

The Surname was the driver not the first name (note I did not use the teram Christian). I see 'Colin' as a very robust and engmatic first name , a name that attracts wimmin...

anyways what is the stigma to being a science teacher Col?

This is MA's first albion signing since ROBBIE PETHICK.

Will Hawkins be better or worse than Robbie? I know alot of people didn't rate him but I was quite a fan of Pethick, during 2002/03 anyway, when he played under Coppell he actually looked quite good.

unberlive indeed

I am very pleased with this early signing. I concur with everyone calling for Stephen Gillespie from Cheltenham. Some guy on the Argus posted that he was coming and that is was a "done deal" apparently from reliable source. Probably utter bull but was wondering if anyone else had heard of something similar. BHA would be a great club for SG - he probably is not ready for championship football but could gel in with the team and push for promotion next year. Plus cheltenham can not compare with London by the sea. Have we teh wages though?

None, I suppose - they're clever at least. But did you mean as a compliment then? *hissyfit*

As a youngster(!) I had a manager at Sainsburys called Colin Hawkins.. he looked like Ronnie Kray

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

I'd Like to see him along side Elphick with Lynch at left back? if we dont sign richards..

Please not Lynch at left back.

 

[ewe2]

Very positive......we normally sign our players in the days before the window shuts........ this always smacks 0f the runt of the litter.

Oh dear, some bread seems to be on the wrong shelf.

My bruvver doesn't like it when bread is on the wrong shelf, he gets clumsy and BREAKS THINGS.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Have you seen him play.? Thats a stupid comment to make Frank.Jesus wet lets give him a chance.

Hardly anybody has seen him play!

But let's trust the leadership and hope we've got a good'un.

 

[Trigger]

He looks HARD, excellent.
