We had both him and Mickey Quinn on our books at the same time (briefly) when we were starting to struggle in the old Division 1, 1978. By the time we were in the relegation zone in 1979, they'd both been released under Tommy Docherty. Tommy Doc has a lot to answer for, got rid of Toddy, Wee Archie etc and signed Carp (rearrange the letters) all downhill from there , it was a right knees up (if you are old enough you'll get the reference) DavesaRam and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 25 minutes ago, Big Trav said: Do like Troy Parrott Exactly the type of player I expect us to look for from the Netherlands. Just like Trott from Denmark being a potential target (as well as to other players from Denmark: Peacock-Farrell, Scott McKenna and Tyrese Francois) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very talented footballer, fundamentally, so it’s not completely unsurprising to see him do well overseas. Young players on loan don’t always showcase the best of themselves, whilst others thrive. He’s the type of player I’d like to see us sign permanently, rather than a loan. An asset to work with and develop. Bubbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 9 minutes ago, jimbobram said: Tom Cannon would be my choice as a loan for a striker The rumour is that when he signed for Leicester he signed at x value (thought to be £40k pw) and following on from promotion that would double. Not completely ludicrous considering their last wage bill when in the Premier League was close to £200m. It makes it a hard market for loan clubs so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Leicester keep him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's on that much it wouldn't surprise me to see him on loan at a top end champ club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
