Terry Hennessy Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yes...but its a (seemingly) well known fact that Clough did not want Maguire in the first place (he wanted Grant Holt [before he suddenly did well in the prem] but Glick wouldn't buy him....in his wisdom he bought Maguire for Clough instead)....hence the fact that he didn't stay long and has done nothing as far as I'm aware since leaving us. Hopefully, this time, if Russell does arrive it'll be because Clough does want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Cloughs highlighted targets. Various times Sam Rush has said that Nigel has given him a list and he will do what he can to bring the names in. As you said, Glick, having no knowledge of football never mind the English game, signed players. Keep the faith, can see this one coming off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely, I hear every 'fact', whether truthful or made-up!! Clough scouted Maguire for a long time and went public with his admiration. Your 'fact' is not as well known as the 'fact' about Clough bombing Maguire out of Derby for trying a overhead-volley in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you find it odd that we signed a striker who mustered a measly 9 goals in the SPL? Even Aberdeen fans were surprised by the signing...

eddie Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Are we righting players off before they've even signed now? It saves time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Seen that BD is going to give Ishmael Miller another chance, they've offered Tudgay a new 1 year contract and have Cox, Blackstock and they want Sharp. Are they building a team of 11 strikers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me to see Forest go in for him tbf I only mentioned Forest because he's currently on holiday in Tenerife Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands The Spanish name for the Canary Islands is Islas Canarias Derived from the Latin Canariae Insulae which means "Islands of the dogs" It was originally only attributed to Gran Canaria (big dogs) but spread to the rest of the chain It just seems natural that if 'Jack' Russell, named after a dog, is going to go on holiday to a place famous for dogs, then he might perhaps consider playing for them.

I don't think that it is a "well known fact" but it is true that to quote someone high up in DCFC "The CEO pushed that one through" when asked about Maguire. It is of course also true that they were unhappy with his attitude etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike93rh Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Can't believe people are writing him off for being Scottish, because flops have come from there - if we crossed off signing players from all the leagues that flops have come from then we'd have very few places left.. And remember, the likes of Maguire and Porter are actually different people to Russell, funnily enough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t'oldu Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Always suspected that Tyson was more to do with Glick than Nigel . Just a feeling -and a remark passed on a forum by somebody with internal connections. And of course the Directors went out on a limb and bought a striker who Billy pointedly refused to play.

SuperSheep Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I've seen it with many players who did well up there not being able to hack it down here. Eoin Jess Stevie Crawford Anthony Stokes Kris Boyd Chris Porter Conor Sammon to name a few.. why will Russell be any different?do you mean in the premier league? As I don't see why sammon's on the list if you mean championship, he's as valuable a member as any person on the team and probably contributes more than any of the players on the pitch.

There's a massive difference in writing someone off for being Scottish, and telling people to NOT get carried away with ability simply because someone is doing well in Scotland.

Ramble On Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I don't know why we just don't sign Leroy Lita and have all this Russell talk done with, at least he knows where the net is in the league we play in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
