Leeds Ram Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 they don't have any :D and as well we are in the same league so we will probably have to pay more than Huddersfield would, unless they paid 13k a week, to get hold of him since we could be a threat to hull.

Mary Hindge Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yeah well I heard he is coming here playing for nowt!!! Great deal from Nige and Glicky!!! Pearson better left back (giggle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I am not saying he is a better left back as he isn't, and where did you hear that? also why would hull give us a free player when we are in the same league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He heard it from the inside of his face. He's playing with ya. Funny sense of humour round these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 He's not my favourite player, but he's very experienced and he's versatile. He played plenty of games for Huddersfield last season, so I'm not too worried about his age. And looking back at the huddersfield forums from last season, they are full of praise about how well he is playing (obviously at a lower level than we are at though).

StaffsRam Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 £13k per week = £338k £6.5k per week = £169k Can't Shackell play LB? Or any of the kids? I'd do that and save the cash to put towards a permanent signing. Not happy about the lack of cover, but equally don't fancy wasting money.

tomsdubs Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 So based on pure speculation we are paying his full wage we are criticising the board/manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike1969 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have lived in Ireland now for a number of years and watching Ireland play at home is my only real opportunity to watch anything that comes close to being a good level of football in front of a decent crowd (unless I happen to be back in Ilkeston visiting family and get the opportunity to catch a game at Pride Park). I have watched Kilbane play for Ireland for around 10 years and although he was always played as a wide man earlier in his career Trapatoni has consistently used him as a left back in recent years and he has always been steady and reliable. He rarely does anything spectacular but he has been quite solid and makes very few mistakes - I was amazed when I saw today that he has accumulated 110 caps because his steadiness tends to mean that he is rarely involved in memorable incidents and you tend not to notice him. This year Ireland have looked to blood Ciaran Clark, Stephen Ward and Greg Cunnigham at Left Back so he has had less games but they still turn to Kilbane for important games. He is still very much part of the International set-up and I am not aware of any signalled intent to step down. He is not blessed with pace (he never really was) and is certainly not a long term solution but he is experienced and will be a steady option and I do think he can do a job for us.

Leeds Ram Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 no one has said we are paying his full wage, what we are saying is that the amount of the wage 13k, even if we paid 50% for a 6 month loan is a lot of money which could be spent better elsewhere.

tomsdubs Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It'll be 50% at most i think, but i think he is just cover until we sign someone maybe in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hindge Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sorry didnt realize no humour was allowed anymore!!! it's negativity or do one!!! How the fudge do you know where paying 50% why not pick another figure from thin air lets say 25% still too much? Nige still wa nk? erm 20% oh no hang on I want to be anti Nige! Now I've heard it's 75% how crap is that?? Nige out board out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Most people are agreed that we needed another LB at the club before the season starts. There's obviously not one available who we can afford so its better to have a temp solution than none. Why panic? Its a 6 month loan. Nothing more nothing less.

StaffsRam Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It'll be 50% at most i think, but i think he is just cover until we sign someone maybe in Jan. Our search for a LB is similar to that of Jason for the golden fleece. I'm glad that we'll finally draw this saga to a close in January, a full 12 months since we sold our only other LB at the club. It's not like it's a priority or anything, with Roberts being such a cracking player..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Stupid signing by all accounts. TBH i would like to see some quality not just 'expirience'. We already have 'steady' and 'expirienced' clown at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Unfortunately NR, we also have no fookin money. There's very few decent looking LB's about, certainly not at the price we'd want to pay. The board are relying on Nige to find a left footed Brayford imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcdavecov Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 . We already have 'steady' and 'expirienced' clown at left back. Made me lol. I love the fact he's Russian aswell. Where did he master the negative sarcastic remarks? Most frequent an English spe.......oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The board are relying on Nige to find a left footed Brayford imo. Indeed - explains Blanchett. Makes you wonder how much money they actually have earmarked for those three positions (DM, LB, Striker) - We offered for Waghorn, but it looks as though we're doing things on the cheap for the LB option, and t'would probably have been a nominal fee for Eustace.
