Gary Doherty

[Tooting Gull]

i'd prefer some sort of mental african beefcake at the back

Quality. I hope Gus has put those requirements on his scouting brief.

Past it

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Thought he was immense against us at home. At an absolute beast at the back

Agreed

 

[portslade seagull]

I would sign him he was class against us and bloody scored

 

[BensGrandad]

In actual fact he wasnt that exceptional against us other than getting on the end of along cross that Elphick, I think it was or possibly El Abd, and Kuipers f....d up between them.

 

[Meade's Ball]

We can't go on a title-run with those two tender souls at the back. I'd have the Doh there. Not perfect, but incredibly strong and should have enough experience to not be caught out of position very often, as the current two can sometimes be. With a sure-footed back 4, then we wouldn't have to play a 4-5-1 and could even launch a Barca or Arsenal 4-3-3 attack-minded formation to maraud the division with.

 

[Foolg]

All the top sides this season had an experienced, big strong centre half... Norwich (doherty), Leeds (Naylor), Charlton (daily), Swindon (Greer) etc etc, surely tells you something.

People seem to use "Butters type" as a euphemism for "getting on a bit".

Or an eBay bargain...

 

[Father Jack]

I take a the term butters esque to mean experienced but also positionally good as well as strong in the air. Doherty is better than people are giving him credit for and won't struggle to find a good club.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I still think we need a experienced centre back, and Gary Doherty would fit that bill perfectly. But his wages would be a massive problem.

Genuine lol, oh the irony!!

That was what I was getting at. An experienced player to act as a role model for our relatively inexperienced current CBs.

 

[Marshy]

Id be delighted if we got him to be honest.

Money will clearly be the issue, expect Southampton and Charlton to make a move for him...

Charlton are potless. Southampton might do I suppose as Pardew will need at least 34 centre backs to ensure promotion.

Lets be honest, he sounds like he'd be an ideal signing. A modern day Simon Morgan, if you will.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

is the type of player we need but cant see it happening

I thought he was way older than that, maybe 35. In that case, I see him as a great addition if we could get him

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The Ginger Pele....

 

[Silent Bob]

He looks about 50.
