Holroyd Signs for Brighton On a TWO DAY Loan Deal

[The Wizard]

What. The. f***. Is. Going. On?

f*** no's its obviously not meant to be so why bother he will prob come and get injured and be out for ages!

 

[Reinelt12]

This WAS actually for real. The story did actually appear on the Cambridge website saying that Holdroyd had signed for 2 days with a view to a pernament deal going through on Monday. However, as has been said elsewhere on the thread, the story was swiftly taken down.

Strange.

So the shambles in the first place for leaking the story was down to CUFC, and now this from them... Something is going on there, and I don't think its a mistake... any ideas what they are playing at? (or am i chasing a conspiracy theory?)

We have 2 first choice Murray and Forster (36 yrs old)
1 back up Dickinson
1 who is virtually finished as a goal scorer OGH
1 who couldnt score if he was stood on the goalline so is out on loan Davies.
1 17 year old who is not ready for the first team yet. Barker

So we do not have an abundance of talent up front.

I should have said - not desperately short of forwards for tomorrow.

Cambridge obviously know he's signing but have been told to take it down for some reason, why would they put a story up confirming it if it wasn't true?

Slightly farcical to be quite honest.

What a joke of a club we are. We can't even sign a player from the conference without it being a total mess.

Could be they want to confirm his registration before announcing the signing!

Yes - what a joke. That Bloom is head-clown.

Just out of interest, even if it is a total mess, why are you so sure it's our fault?

Its not OUR website that has jumped the gun with unfounded announcements.

Can't we sign young Adam Marriott instead? He's made -1 appearances in the FA cup this season, and still scored. Now that's impressive.

Cambridge United | Team | First Team Profiles | Adam Marriott

Would the FA have turned down the 2 day loan deal because it is a blatent way of us trying to get around their rules regarding the amount of time a player must be at a club before he can play?

Thus causing Cambridge to take the story down.

That is my most plausible explaination...

 

[sam86]

Geez.. I was only kiddinggggg.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

On-loan, he is eligible to play on Saturday. If we signed him permanently, he would not be. I think the times are 4pm and 12pm deadlines on the day before a matchday, respectively.

If that's the case, it's an almost Fergie-esque manipulation of the rules

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

He better bloody well be good!

 

[The Wizard]

All this effort and he turns out to be a donkey.

I don't think he will though, has good potential imo.

Seems a sensible theory to me.

 

[glasfryn]

Probably easier to get him eligible for tomorrow if it is a loan move, and then if he doesn't score atleast two goals tomorrow we can f*** HIM OFF!!

that made me really laugh ..........great post if a little cynical

The Cambridge page is empty! So we should not beleive any deal has been done untill we see him on the bench tomorrow.
