Utah Owl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Blade? grow up fella, id much prefer a youngster with raw talent over a journeyman without a doubt but the lad in question wont get near our first team Oh dear! Think you are the one who needs to grow up (or at least get a sense of humour)! Just a little jest at the reference to the team you manage which is exactly what the aforementioned Brian does pretty much every time he opens his gob on Football Heaven (just in case you didn't know).

Ronnie Starling Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 If he plays, I hope he's not a static Canavan. Lets hope he is quite mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff_Owl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 From a scunny fan "think he's out of contract. It wouldn't surprise me. He's a decent player but goes to sleep once every game, which can be costly. Scores about 5 a season as well as he's pretty tall. He'd do a decent job. We would cope without him though I suspect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twolaptops Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Would rather have this 'rated' young hungry match fit prospect than some "come & get me Newcastle" self opinionated over rated Yank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swafty Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 yep like his music but hes a pwoper pig was thinking that the other day, listening to one of his songs ( may have been old red eyes ) he kept repeating they could never be blue, they could never be blue. Never thought anything about this lyric in the past , but remember seeing him on a programme gushing about the blades recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatricowl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Some fans know enough about football to be able to spot potential in young players like Wickham and Barkley, others wouldn't be able to see it if it jumped out and hit them between the eyes.

He just knew how to pass from A to B And Wickham's first spell with us, he was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I am sadly old enough to remember another summer long long ago where we were linked with numerous "big name" centre halves none of which materialised. Instead we bought a raw unknown young lad from Shrewsbury. If owlstalk had been around we can all imagine the comments ; probably similar to this thread. But Nigel Pearson didn't turn out too bad?

RichSheffWeds Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'd rather us sign a kid at 23 years old with potential to step up than journeymen pro's like Purse, Zayette and Taylor who cost us relatively big wages (in our structure) and woefully under performed.

Guest Sherlowl Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Calm down everyone, we knew we'd be taking a player from the lower leagues, it's just good business to sign up a lad with potential. The bigger signings'll come in later on, but we could get this lad in straight away to blood him in through pre-season. And anyway, we're basing all this on a single tweet, that says 'Niall Canavan, rumoured deal done'. It's not bolted on, but I for one don't think its a bad thing to get our targets in as soon as possible, where we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too We're not (yet?) in a position to sign players, that are 'proven at this level', without them turning out to be busted flushes ... ie; their current clubs deem them to be past it, over the hill, too injury prone etc I'd much prefer us to go for unproven potential, over proven failure (the only form of proven available on our budget) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
