HarryBosch Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 And if we can't get Lee Griffiths, Lee Gregory will do nicely. [logs off] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 No chance with him. Celtic along with some other big clubs were monitoring him this week. That ship has sailed I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Griffiths will be on big big money. Interesting to see Eagles' name mentioned. Thought the lad would be destined for greater things a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk200 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yes Porter is proven to be one greedy b......d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Lol Porter.. Can you imagine that phone call? "Hi Chris, it's Lee Johnson. How do you fancy a game at back at Boundary Park? New start and all that?... Hello? Chris?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Haven't seen him play, but wouldn't he have had more of games in the first team if he was our best striker? Turner needs a full pre season and, in my opinion and going off the reviews from Stockport fans, will do well next year! If we looked at another then the Notts striker looked very good yesterday and is young and might be cheap, wages wise. He certainly gave Lockwood more than a few problems. I don't get this desire to sign older players for at best 1 season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this desire to sign older players for at best 1 season! Said pre- game to my mate that i'd take 3 of their players if they dropped: Sheehan, Campbell-Ryce and Spencer. After the game, i'm still the same. Even though they've survived, all 3 of those would improve us as a side. Spencer hasnt scored many; but then it not just goals that is his game; as he's the target man and bruiser up front, and he has 6 in the League - not too different to Philly or JCH really.

LaticsPete Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Me also. Spencer looked a handful right from the start, got his bum in the way , used his upper body etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Porter is out of contract at Sheff Utd. Depending on who they sign in the summer they may cut him loose. He's proven at this level. I think you're onto something there. When strikers come to BP and we give them pelters they always score. Re-sign Porter, continue to rain expletives upon him, we win the league thanks to Porter's 46 league goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngen Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 What kind of dream world would give us the money to sign Leigh Griffiths or Chris Porter? We will end up with Ryan Lowe or Lee Miller, who have both just been relegated with their teams. Others mentioning Sheehan, Spencer, Campbell Ryce have also spent a full season with a team who survived on the last day. They may be ok for this level, but they wont get us out and wont improve us and would cost a decent wage.I dont know what the solution is ( Im not a football manager ) but if you want to sign those type of players then you are happy with League 1 mediocricy.

youngen Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Is that why Ryan Lowe has spent most of his career in the lower leagues with Sheehan and Campbell Ryce?Weve already got a squad that can achieve mid table mediocracy, as proven last season. If you think they are good enough to win a league, or infact gain promotion, you are watching it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Lowe - promoted with Sheffield Wed (2012) Bury (2011) Shrewsbury (2004) Jamal Campbell-Ryce - Never promoted, been round many clubs Alan Sheehan - Also never promoted I personally think they're all good additions to the squad, but they're the facts.

BP1960 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Ryan Lowe - promoted with Sheffield Wed (2012) Bury (2011) Shrewsbury (2004) Jamal Campbell-Ryce - Never promoted, been round many clubs Alan Sheehan - Also never promoted I personally think they're all good additions to the squad, but they're the facts. Good players all, but it just shows one or two men don't make a team. Edited May 7, 2014 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
