Dickinson to Peterborough - Any truth??

[Sheebo]

I'm sick to death of loan signings. Few of them are any good, if we'd not made the insane amount of loan signings in the last three or years, players like Virgo, Elphick, Cox, Sullivan, Dickinson would have developed far more. We'll probablye get a striker in on loan, he'll be good for one game, then do f*** all, then go back. Meanwhile youngsters and players we actually own will be deprived of game time or want to move on as they'd not had any backing from the club. Then next season we can sign a load more shit journeymen and loan signings, sack Poyet and start all over again

I know Poyet hates loans - i really think Poyet will build the squad big time this Summer with permanant signings - this really is gonna end up being a transitional season - providing we stay up! I know none of us wanted one of them but it will be...

Think Peterborough fans could be saying the same thing soon...

He doesnt score goals anymore, i saw him 3 times this season and a whole lot more on telly and he's no where near good enough.

Yes but if we play him with Hart and get Loft and Fraser back he will turn into George Weah again It will be just like last year minus the Fat pepper pig man.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

He's not a "top striker", or a "crucial part of the team".

He means "why would someone lend one to us..."

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Fixed, and agreed.

Oi! I don't agree.

Even if Forster is back on board, we need four strikers all capable of stepping into the first team. So we would have Murray,Forster, Holroyd and Hart.

Hart looks like he'll never score another goal and Holroyd is just stepped back into league football. Not enough for me.

After seeing him come on for a whole MINUTE yesterday... Calvin Andrew?

as young Murraymints will tell you. I lurve Calvin Andrew

I think we are all sick of loan signings, however, if they are quality and joining with a view to a transfer in the summer then they will be playing as if they had signed already

 

[Mellotron]

Err when did Dickinson last score?

Maybe the lad at Crawley Charles Adewhatsisface

 

[Turkey]

Just had a club text confirming it.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Its OWUSU time, again...

[sam86]

Err when did Dickinson last score?

5 starts ago

 

[Mellotron]

5 starts ago

How many GAMES ago? And not against NON LEAGUE sides...

 

[Iamapen15]

Wasn't Gus watching Ranger at Newcastle when LuaLua caught his attention?

There must be a new signing in the pipeline.

 

[Father Jack]

How will dicko get in the posh side ahead of their front 3? On the flip side who the bloody hell are we intending to play up front?

Liam Dickinson is joining Peterborough United on loan until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old Salford-born striker will be reunited with former Stockport County boss Jim Gannon at London Road.

Dickinson joined Albion from Derby County in the summer, but has found starting opportunities limited in recent weeks.

Gus Poyet explained, "Liam wants to be playing regularly, and we cannot guarantee him that at this point in time, so it will be good for him to play first-team football under a manager he knows well."

Dickinson enjoyed the best spell of his career under Gannon at Edgeley Park, scoring 35 goals from 68 starts and 38 sub appearances, and helping County to promotion via the League Two playoffs.

He has not quite recaptured that form with Albion, but has managed six goals from 21 senior starts and 11 appearances from the bench.

Alright picky!

 

[Bigtomfu]

Maybe their attitude is the problem not their ability

Amen to that. Under Poyet he knew his record was doing him no favours, and he still couldn't muster much effort (in terms of chasing down every ball, chasing back for every second ball, and I have never, repeat NEVER seen a taller player put in such idle effort for aerial balls.)

Agree that he HAS talent, but its how you apply yourself and use it that counts.

Not drifting listlessly around a pitch wearing yellow boots.

Wish him well at Peterborough and glad to have his no doubt large wages off the bill for the remainder of the season.

 

[Bald Gull]

On the Seagulls website now but nothing on any replacement - it just says he wants first team football - that we can't promise him
