Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Does it matter who told me? the person didn't have a hotdog and a pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrbuk Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Does it matter who told me? the person didn't have a hotdog and a pint Kind of yes. If it's any old random like most on here, then it carries as much weight as anything posted on the rumours site, if the person in question worked on the SWFC staff it would have more credence. I don't want names, just if it had legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I personally like ALF, he doe's what it say's on the Tin. He knows where the Net is and score's goals :). Agreed,you know your getting someone who will score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarnyowl Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Pretty much what im saying about Alf and Melllor to be honest. Except Mellor is proven at League 1 level, ALF isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoomTownOwls Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I have watched him on several occasions, including last night, and I have never been impressed at all. I am sure that he has scouts watching him every week and so far none of them seem to be certain that he can score goals regularly at a higher level. He is probably seen as a bigger risk that many strikers in that division who have stepped up in recent years. The main reason being that apart from scoring goals he offers little else. Therefore, if he doesn't score regularly you will have a passenger. If he scores 20 goals it is a passenger worth having but it appears that scouts and managers are sceptical that he would.

Guest BoomTownOwls Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Except Mellor is proven at League 1 level, ALF isn't. And Mellor can win the ball in the air, hold the ball up and run the channels. I have seen no evidence so far that ALF can do any of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoomTownOwls Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 From our point of view I think fans are kidding themselves if they think ALF will suit our style of play. We are going to get it forward quickly, be in opposition faces and be a real threat from set pieces. I just don't see ALF as a 'Megson player'.

owls66 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Adam le poo - no thank you. He scored 20+ goals in a league where semi-messed up defenders trip over their own feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB31 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Like every footballer there are pros and cons to his game but football fans don't half come out with some b0llocks sometimes, dismissing a player with his goal record as sh!te etc. He might not be someone who runs the channels or wins it in the air often but the extent to which some people are putting him down is laughable.

bigrbuk Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If I remember rightly so is ALF,he played for Stockport in League one and scored goals. Looking at his wiki page, a 1 in 3.5 record during his pre 20 years with Stockport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
