Do you still have his mobile number? Chuck him a text to see if we've approached him.
Having the image of your daughter flash through his mind, may just make him choose us over Orient. C'mon mate, we need some FLAIR.

I do indeed (unless he's changed it).
The daughter is all loved-up elsewhere now, and she wasn't much impressed with Kevs "charms" last time anyway, so I can't really dangle her as bait. Yes, we do indeed need some FLAIR, but I'm not offering up my DAUGHTER to pay for it.

Never quite got what the fuss was about with Thornton.
As somebody else said: he occasionally looked as though there was talent in them there boots, but when I think back, I can't really remember any stand-out moments or incidents where he actually played a significant part in games. All style and no substance?
His brother's never really fulfulled his potential either, due, it's rumoured to a similar fondness for a few beers and dislike for anything requiring any degree of application. Their parents must be so proud.

Against Cheltenham he played like a DREAM. I remember him bobbing and weaving his way by two defenders and clipping over a peach of a cross for Murray to notch.
He OWNED that game, despite Murray getting a hat-trick. In the same way that final was 'The Matthews Final' despite the other fella getting three, that league game was 'The Thornton 3v3 draw with a rather rubbish lower league team'.
He played like an angel alongside Adam El Abd. What dreams could he weave with Gary Dicker?

LOL, no, but your text will put the idea in his head. Hey. he's a footballer, that means he's arrogant and self-confident, he won't be looking for you to "dangle" anyone.
Once she knocks him back in spectacular style, "hi, have you met Marcus?" it'll be too late, he'll have already signed.

he can weave wherever he likes
he will probably stagger a bit on the way
but I don't want him playing for my team
I don't want his example to young fans
and I don't want his influence on other players

Great, one game. How long was he on loan for?

I don't want him staggering over to my gaff every other week to serenade her at 3am on the offchance though. Think this is one best left well alone

You could pretty much say the same for every single other player who played under Adams last season.
Although most didn't even have ONE good game.
Oh, and to respond to another poster's question earlier, this came from someone who regularly tells me stuff about the Thornton brothers which normally prove to be right.
I don't think there has been an officially announcement yet so it MAY prove to be off the mark.
Either way, its pretty likely they will want RID.

Haven't been on here much over the last week, but I definitely read somewhere that Coventry were mightily pissed off over his conviction. Mainly, it seems, because he neglected to mention it until he was actually in court...
He was another victim of the Adams regime, Had a corker first game when playing CM then was played out wide or just not played at all from then on, he should play CM as he has a great passing ability and has great composure on the ball, his performances against Cheltenham & Derby were very good he is only 22 as well, IMO he would be amazing alongside Dicker.

i thought he was quite good, defiantely as a back up for Dicker etc at least

I sincerely hope we do not even consider signing Thornton.
Yeah, he might have some skills but he wasn't really anything to shout about.
I just see him as being a scumbag. The sort of player that will destroy any team moral and bring down a perfectly happy dressing room.
I want him nowhere near the club I love. He's not a quality professional, just a cock.
Anyway, heard the plastic dons were having a look at him.

Good news....he can drink plastic lager out of plastic bottles then cut a line with his plastic card and sniff it through a plastic straw

R M Taylor picked up on this as well in his player ratings for the league match at Hartlepool last October.
Subs:
Thornton - 5 - during the warm-up he comes across that he has special needs. Won the ball, and created things. Needs to start next week. Very lucky not to be sent-off though for stamping on the goalkeepers back
