Iwelumo Unlikely To Sign On For Us!

[GUNTER]

According to the Argus this morning (I always read the back page before I go to work y'know).

Iwelumo failed to report for pre-season training yesterday.

McGhee says "I had hoped Chris Iwelumo would be in, but he wasn't. I understand he is having talks with Doncaster and Wimbledon which surprises me a wee bit".

He goes on to say "It leaves me with a situation whereby without Iwelumo having agreed the 2 year contract offered to him, we only have one fit and available striker in Jake Robinson because Leon is suspended so the situation is absolutely urgent".

 

[Fluffster]

He's obviously still confused with the new league structures, he just wants 1st Division football Seriously though, why?!?!

 

[GUNTER]

£££'s

although I cannot imagine Wimbledon having more cash than us, sorry, MK Dons!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Frees up wages for a decent striker I suppose

 

[Icy Gull]

Was never that impressed anyway, as long as we get somebody in I won't be too upset.

 

[Marshy]

f***ing brilliant news in my book.
Iwelumo isnt the required standard, im first to say thanks for his efforts but this is good news, im sure MM has plenty of irons in the fire.

 

[shingle]

Not bothered

 

[Reading Posh]

Iwelumo isnt the required standard, im sure MM has plenty of irons in the fire.

So why has MM offered him a 2-year contract?

 

[GUNTER]

Trevor Benjamin maybe?

 

[Gazwag]

He obviously feels the Championship will be a league higher than he can play at and is not willing to put in the effort to improve himself

 

[Fluffster]

On £17k a week? That rules out Trev.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Yeah, get back big Trev.

 

[TrevorDove]

Got to agree that it's not that bad - although our front line is now back to under 6 foot - I hope McGhee has a master plan.

 

[lincs seagull]

we would get the same amount of goals in the champs league with or without him he is not good enought and he knows that

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Got to agree that it's not that bad - although our front line is now back to under 6 foot - I hope McGhee has a master plan.

And that's adding the height of the front two together!

 

[Lush]

Was never that impressed anyway, as long as we get somebody in I won't be too upset.

Totally agree.

It is difficult to get decent strikers in during the season but surely we can find someone with a better FIRST touch in the close season.

As the Greece Euro experience has shown - there's a lot to be said for a happy settled loyal squad - which is why, once players come in and settle, they are often offered extended contracts - yes, even Dave Lee.

If Big Chris is not showing any loyalty then the relationship breaks down.

I am not sorry to see him go. He made "Bruno" Benjamin look like a player with finesse.

 

[The Large One]

Good riddance. He was a donkey. He only partially won us round with that goal against Chesterfield. I mean, FFS, John Barnes remained in the England team for years on the back of that goal against Brazil.

 

[Easy 10]

I mean, FFS, John Barnes remained in the England team for years on the back of that goal against Brazil.

Yeah, but if it wasn't for that we'd never have had that classic Barnesy rap in 1990.

"There's only one way to beat them, get round the back"

Wonderful. Some things are just meant to be.

 

[Reading Posh]

I must be missing something, didn't lots of NSCers go to Swindon with Iwelumo wigs

 

[dannyboy]

good
he can f*** off
apart from the goal against the cheats he was crap
