12 Million Pound Strike Duo For Oldham

[Trigger]

Michael Ricketts (Preston North End) & Lee Hughes (Her Majesty's Pleasure) have totalled nearly £12m of transfer fees in their careers and they now both have signed for Oldham Athletic for free... This has the potential to be the best strike force in the League One, however, I reckon it also has the potential to go badly wrong!

 

[Marshy]

Sounds like Goals to me.

Ricketts is shit.
Moral issues aside, Hughes is a BRILLIANT signing.

 

[Diatribe]

Certainly both big gambles.

Ricketts will fail I think, other than Bolton he's never been good anywhere, his attitude is awful, and he's fat.

Hughes the killer is a more interesting one, he was a good player before he ended a man's life, he has not played real competitive football for three years and will surely get dogs abuse wherever he goes, so there are two big hurdles for him, a mental one and a physical one. I fancy him to do more than Ricketts though.

I think Hughes will have something to prove .

 

[Easy 10]

Ricketts is the worst player I have EVER seen at Withdean.
I appreciate that is quite a claim, but I stand by it.

 

[Monkster]

One hasn't played for 4 years
The other has been in Prison

Blue & White striped shirts aside, surely?...

 

[Billy the Fish]

I'd love to have Hughes in the team, great signing for them

Didnt he still manage to set a goal up?

Can never have too many gingers.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Just trying something...

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Cool. I made a GINGE SMILIE!

 

[Silent Bob]

Didnt he still manage to set a goal up?

Nope, as we beat them 1-0.

He was subbed off for Brain Deane, who was infinitely more effective despite being 147 years of age at the time.

 

[Napper]

I'd love it if we had those 2 up front

What did he do then, help with the nets ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Even though Hughes has served part of his sentence, I am not sure I could bring myself to watch him play. I know that shouldn't be an issue, but he tried to get away with murder/manslaughter.

Try adding 2 goals for them and then you have the correct score

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Didnt Hughes get sent off in a prision game and banned after kicking someone in the head?

Leeds was 1-0 when Ricketts was about as penetrating as a Dormouse's nob.

I have a feeling that he did set up the Alan Lee goal for Cardiff. I seem to remember Koumas scored an absolute scorcher.
