Dronfield_SWFC Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 [We were expecting to have to pay a fee for Jones so to get him on a free is a bonus. If Megson knows that we were getting him on a free then it frees up the third person we expect to have to pay for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Wasnt Prutton a massive cult hero in Leeds promotion season from League one? Talon won't post that though, he's negative when it comes to anything SWFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maltaowl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 S-P-I-N-E - most good teams have a strong one My thoughts exactly. Two big, strong leaders who will hopefully have the ability to ge results at places like Exeter where before we have been battered. Not exactly limelight signings but im sure they will both come in and do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm struggling to see the difference between Tommy Miller and David Prutton..... A few grand a week... age difference... recent injury records... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foreverSWFC Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Megson knows what he is doing, but Prutton seems to be just another ex-premier league footballer who has fallen down the leagues earning a large wage due to his time at the top level. A few more spring to mind, Francis Jeffers, Gary Teale, Clinton Morrison. I think we need to move on from these kind of players, and go for younger, hungrier players. Also, the alot of Swindon fans think he is throw. However, in Megson we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 When Prutton was at leeds they did one of the dish the dirt things and it was Jermaine Beckford and Neil Killkenny.... THE JOKER NK: David Prutton. JB: Prutts definitely. You never know what you're going to walk into when you go into the changing rooms. You know something is going to be up, but you never know what until you open that door! AND WHO'S THE LONGEST IN THE SHOWER... NK: I'd say David Prutton. He's got long hair so he likes to wash it all the time and gel it up and all that. So I'd say David Prutton. JB: Yeah, I'd agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckington owl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Looks a bit like RJB! OMFG!!! He is probably the most disturbed, wierdest, attention seeking tool i've ever come across in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtheowl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I'm struggling to see the difference between Tommy Miller and David Prutton..... I think Prutton will put himself about a a bit more, and be stronger in the tackle, as well as more vocal. He also has a better injury record. I did rate Miller though, and think we will miss his goals unless one of our new signings is someone who scores from midfield.

Hawkeye Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 i still think Jones is too slow and gets done by quick movement too easy for my liking. Dont know enough about Prutton to make a judgement. But if Megson has gone out and signed him, id trust his judgement. im not fussed about big names, i just want the right players doing the right jobs. very pleased they are both frees too, good bit of business as im sure teams will hold out for fees with us now they know Mandaric has money to spend.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Interview when he was at Leeds talking about his Hair.... If you are in a spot of bother and the “Hand of God” is unavailable, the next best thing is probably the “Hair of Jesus”. David Prutton was the bad boy famed for shoving a referee, but he is resurrecting his career at Leeds United and believes that he can do the same for the club’s play-offs hopes away to Carlisle United this evening. Prutton is not your average footballer. Not only has he been likened to the Son of God by fans because of his flowing locks, facial hair and dead-ferret sideburns, but also he peppers his interview with references to David Brent, Bettys Tea Rooms and the skinny legs of the Kaiser Chiefs. “When people start saying you’re a character, then it sounds ridiculous,” Prutton said, before Leeds’ attempt to overturn a 2-1 deficit from Monday’s first leg of the Coca-Cola League One play-offs semi-final. “But I’ve never minded talking about things beyond football. I mentioned that I was getting called Jesus in an interview and my mate rang and said I sounded like David Brent. I don’t know about the new image. They’re carrying crucifixes apparently. Jesus!” The hair is more a reflection of Prutton’s love of Seventies rock. He is 26, but cites Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and the Rolling Stones as favourites, while insisting his taste does not stop at 1982. “The Kaiser Chiefs came into training,” he said. “Lovely lads, but they all looked very bizarre in shorts. They’re used to skinny jeans, I guess. One of them said he’d never sit in the crowd and hammer the team because if you put a football in front of him, he’d fall over. But then I’ve been to gigs and ignored the support band. Yeah, I’m guilty of that.” Prutton is a former England Under-21 midfield player who has appeared in the Premier League with Southampton, but he is relishing his new life down among the “dead men”. He has tattoos, a faded Beatles T-shirt and a skull ring, so he fits in well with Leeds’ outsider status. “It’s that ‘us against them thing’. No one likes us, we don’t care,” he said. “If everyone hates you, you’ve got nothing to lose. You might even turn a few. That mentality gives the fans a sense of identity, it brings people together. As long as it doesn’t flow over into something daft, it’s great.” The fire still burns, though. “I was running to the back post the other week and this player pulled my hair,” he said. “It was quite clever, but for a moment I lost it. My mum was in the crowd with her head in her hands, saying, ‘no, don’t’. But the ref was cool.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RAMPANT OTTER83 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Very happy with these two. I think Prutton will be an excellent replacement for Miller. Liked what I saw of him against Swindon. I think miller and prutton are the same player but miller had more goals in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUCE LEE Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 2 good deals on paper really..... free transfers with bags of experience. Jones has already showed us he can do a job. Pruttons been there and done it before at this level. Good foundations to build our summer recruitment drive on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfonso123 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Prutton played most of last season under Danny Didwell Wilson. No wonder he looked gash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
