Paddy McCourt? Sign him up?

[tobiasbakerius]

Haven't heard any rumors or speculation linking us with him, but why not? Been released by barnsley, but looked class when they played at The AMEX last season. Very good creative midfielder in my opinion. I know we have no shortage of midfielders, but surely you can't have too many?

The game at the Amex was pretty much his only good game of the season. There's a reason he's been released by Barnsley.

That is the goal he scored against us, but the week before he scored this against Middlesborough:

Two weeks in a row he scores a sensational goal. I think he'd be worth looking at.

Has been a good player but 30, I believe, so probably not worth a wage.

I remember last season, Barnsley fans moaned a lot about him, most were happy to see him go. I'd be disappointed if we signed him, much better out there.

I don't say this often, and I don't think you can say it often about our defence last season, but that was very poor defending.

 

[BensGrandad]

Most Barnsley players looked against what was possibly our worst home performance of the season so not a good game to judge on.

Injury prone and inconsistent. Just what we don't need.

Hello Paddy

 

[Rogero]

Last year at the Amex he was the best player on the pitch. Perhaps it was just on that day though.

If we want another winger/creative midfielder I'd hope we'd go for Jordan Ibe of Liverpool on loan. Looks a real talent

He's more a winger/striker. He could even make the Liverpool squad. If not, a full season loan is on the cards for one lucky team. He's sterling, basically but a year younger.

People see him have one good game and automatically believe he's worth signing.

 

[perseus]

I have see highlights on other games and he looked good in a very special way, more like Lualua at slow speed.

McLaughlin looked good as well (loan from Liverpool) and Cywka. I tipped Barnsley to win that game as I had seen players that run at the Albion defence causing trouble before, and after. I had seen Cywka and McCourt causing trouble before. Apparently, it happens occasionally but not consistently.

Six players and the goalkeeper are heard to beat on your own on a consistent basis.

 

[dingodan]

I liked when we were signing players called Rodriguez and Lopez

Names like O'Grady & McCourt are distinctly lacking in FLAIR.

I thought someone was going to tell us about an Irish comedian who was on at the Komedia tonight.

 

[thisistips]

That Middlesbrough goal is amazing. The commentator calls him the Derry Pele

 

[Ali_rrr]

Talking about wingers, that Kristoffer Peterson from Liverpool would be a quality signing on loan. Scored today against Preston and is really highly rated by Liverpool. Think he was on loan at Tranmere recently and Ronnie Moore reckons he's destined for big things.

 

[tobiasbakerius]

Some people will argue he is inconsistent and I agree, but what we need is that player that can just occasionally do something special and if you can sign him for nothing, he'd hardly be a waste of money.

What are we going to do if the likes of Lualua or Buckley (both fairly injury prone) get injured? Sure we have Solly, but could do with more depth IMO.

Not saying he'd be great or even good, but at the moment we have a very small squad and with the injury problems we had last year I'd rather we had too many players than too few.
