Random Task Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Telegraph "In a further indication of his new-found bargaining power, the Sheffield Wednesday manager also confirms today that he agreed a £100,000 deal with Preston for Jon Parkin only for the striker to plump for a move to Cardiff." Love the use of the word plump. What would you have thought had he signed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B_SWFC Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Don't really mind this - we need to be careful anyway, or we'll be changing our name to Sheffield North End. :st2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think he would have teared the is league a new one but would have ment proper hoof ball. Don't blame him for going to Cardiff, though I do wonder how many games he'll get with Bellamy, Chopra, Boothroyd and Keogh there, even if Boothroyd leaves.

bolly1988 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Plump..... the new word in football!!! A player like him is perfect for hoofball get's up for the ball and controls well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'd have been very happy if he'd signed too good for this league, hence why he is in a Cardiff shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlswfc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I would have hated him here especially after he slid in front of kop when he scored against us, fat cnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willyowl Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cardiff is an odd choice for Parkin given the way they play. Can't see him getting much of a look in there to be honest but there is the potential of Premiership football next season which is the pull I guess.

DamnedOwl Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I was never entirely convinced that he is the way we should be going anyway. Last season I think there was a very strong argument for signing him which was further enunciated every time we played them. But this season I think Mellor is performing the burly-lad-up-front job quite well - and I think that he's more capable than Parkin of scoring goals. If we are going to bring in another striker I'd like it to be someone with real pace; although I'd sooner see Heffernan utilized much more to be honest. Interesting though that we'd made an offer for Parkin, as well as showing an interest in Edson Buddle; very different strikers from each other, so it would seem that Irvine just wants to add bodies (albeit quality bodies) to the squad, rather than having a specific type of striker in mind.

Guest Willyowl Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 By the way, Irvine being "terrified" at what the break over Xmas would do for us pretty much sums him up as a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marjorie Van Allen Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 He's the sort of player we need, especially with the way we play with a nice big gap betwen the front two and the rest of the team. Wouldn't be pretty but it would make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice but needed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 “Some people said the break suited us but it really didn’t,” Irvine insisted. “I didn’t want it, that’s for sure. There’s a real danger of players getting soft and I was terrified of that before we played Huddersfield. So we went into that game full of confidence.

sonofbert2 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 So we went into that game full of confidence. It's ok now though SiJ....... The warm down and massage followed by a day off will have toughened 'em right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
