Here's an England international who's now a free agent.....

 

[Simster]

You say that in jest, but I don't think you appreciate just how shit we are at the moment.

 

[JJ McClure]

You know what, I think we're almost that desperate that he'd be worth a go.

 

[Simster]

Oh, and he'd probably play for £200 a week and a packet of portk scratchings.




So frustratingly just out of our price range then.

 

[Frutos]

Could do a job

OK Ok I will stump up the £200 quid.

 

[Starry]

We've had some very bad players at Leeds, but that disinterested lump o lard is up there with the worst of them.

 

[Simster]

And where is the club going to get the money for pork scratchings? We're not CHELSEA you know.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He is a useful battering ram. I would jump at the chance of having Ricketts. We do not have a wealth of talent in the form of targetmen.

A contract until the end of the season

 

[Scotty Mac]

could doa job!

We are the 70s Brazil of League One. YOu must have been watching a different team to me, Perry.

When we beat you lot 1-0 at Withdean in the 04/05 season, the Leeds fans who had sneaked into the home end joined in with us as we had a go at him for being so shit.

Aye if you are referring to the Brazilian Beach Volleyball team.

What exactly is Ricketts' problem? I know he doesn't appear to give a toss but what's the suspected reason? Dope, booze, gambling, women, pies, loss of religious faith?

Ricketts did well for us when he was on loan here. Dave Jones seemed to get the best out of him. Kevin Blackwell obviously didn't (no surprise there). But I reckon there must be more to this story than initially meets the eye.

The big man came on as a sub for Southend against us a couple of weeks ago. It was his first appearance for them after his injury, and he didn't look in bad shape at all. Now he has been given the boot with two and a half years remaining on his contract.

I bet that's cost Southend a few quid they could ill afford. Intriguing.

 

[Simster]

What do you mean. What Blackwell has done is nothing short of a MIRACLE. Don't you remember him telling everyone that (after virtually every game in fact)?

Not well enough to earn him a move to a better club that Southend though.

Oh well. I am sure he will have fun at Brighton/Woking/Forest Green Rovers or wherever the useless joke of a player ends up.

Its OK Dave there aren't any Forest Green or Woking fans who read NSC so they won't be offended!
