Richie Foran

[deo1]

could it be us who are in for him on loan and a possible transfer in the January transfer window?

I hope not - he's a pub player at best.

Someone says that about just about every player we've been linked with! He's a bit of a handful and got a decent scoring record though. Bit of a thug too - didn't he get sent off for brawling in the tunnel with Steve Yates?

[nseventee]

Isn't he like a less consistantly scoring version of Phil Jevons. A Pavel Abbott if you like.

I think he puts himself about more than those two. Centre halves know they've been in a game after playing against him.

I doubt it's us that are looking at him though.

We don't want a "handful" though we need someone with ability. His goalscoring record is weak and aside from Motherwell his record has been at a lower level as well. He can't get in the Southend side and pulled up no trees on loan at Darlington.

Coupled with a dodgey discipline record I don't think we should be looking at players like this... I say stay well clear.

We've got players with ability - Jevons, Parker, Dickinson etc. They are up and down at best and, in Jevons and Parker's case, have done fuck all. I'd say a handful is exactly what we could do with.

He's no better than the other "handfuls" we have in Boothy and Beckett and I'd say he's not even as good. I think it'd be a waste of a wage and a backwards step bringing in a glorified clogger like Foran.

Better than Beckett now and better than Booth until Feb. We need a short term solution.

Well I guess we could always use an emergency loan and see who's right on this one

He should fit in well then with Stan's Tetley Bitter style of football ;D ;D ;D

[lindleyhitler]

Maybe if Jevons and Parker could get on the pitch they might do more than f all.

Parker - 3 starts, 7 times off the bench, Jevons - 4 starts, twice off the bench. I don't blame you for not noticing them on the pitch though - they did fuck all.

I think Digger's pretty much summed my thoughts up on this.

Foran would be a decent signing, although I'm sure someone linked us with Lambert a couple of months back; who'd be even better.

Be ok alongside Dickenson then.

I think maybe a player who scares defenders (even without a great scoring record a.k.a Wayne Allison) could be just what we need to create chances for our two goalscoring midfielders. Who said strikers have to score all the goals???
