hes a decent league two player will be a handful but not for that much
 

Grant Holt

Even with the cash for Hart, this seems a very big gamble - and I imagine he must be getting a salary rather higher than the rest of their squad. Seems a bit of an "all your eggs in one basket" approach and if someone gave us, for example £200k, I wouldn't want us splashing out on one 'name' player
 

Grant Holt

Nothing i have seen makes him worth that! Also he is cack on FM 07
 

Grant Holt

Was Rochdale's superstar in league 2 for quite a few seasons.....I think he will be a success this season.
 

Grant Holt

The times I saw him play for Forest he was disappointing and looked overrated, though no doubt he will again be a handful for some Div 2 defences.
 

Grant Holt

Apparently he's lost a yard of pace since his Rochdale days and is not quite as sharp as he was. It'll be interesting to see how this one turns out - it's a pretty big gamble which could well go wrong.

With Karleigh and Millsy, we will conceed fewer than 20 goals next season, all from errors by Simon Brown, in Carling Cup games :sorted:

Meanwhile Simpson has confirmed that Shrewsbury will not be signing Rotherham defender Graham Coughlan.

"Graham's a player who I still like but things have dragged on for so long now.

"I've had to make a decision and I've pulled out of the move for now, if anything changes further down the line you never know but for now I'm not going to take it any further.

"I've spoken to Graham and he's disappointed."

Does that include last night? I'll say it again. Overweight and over-rated. :wave:

I think I'm with. So that means only 4 league goals, and I am pretty sure one or two of those have been from the penalty spot - he still has a long way to go to justify that tag in this division

Three pens in the League so far. You still sure you don't want him after our JPT result?

Fulham are also teetering close to the bottom three in the Prem again. I think Markbfc should keep a vow of silence on their prospects this time. :D
 

Grant Holt

Remember he led us a merry dance and scored twice when Sheff Wed beat us 3-0 at GP 5 years ago.

Grant Holt

Just had a look, he only managed 4 goals in total in 31 games for Wednesday. :cry:

His career record compared with Charlie's is quite interesting; I think we have got better value so far.
 

Grant Holt

He's now scored 7 goals in his 135 minutes of JPT football this season and 6 in the other 15 games he's played. :eek:

Playing below his level. A gamble that will be justified if they win the play-offs but if they stay down ...... Particularly if he is on Jack Lester-type wages.

Still over-rated, over paid and still fat. Shewsbury have won nothing and Charlie Mac has a winner's medal. I know which striker I'd rather have. He's found his level, rather than playing below it.
 

Grant Holt

I hope we're not being set up for our first summer signing

How many league goals from open play for £170,000 plus wages?

Less than 15 I'd wager.

He's been important for them but I'd want a match-winner every week for that money.

If they still manage to go up then I would suggest that it is money well spent by Shrewsbury. If not it will look like an expensive gamble. Even though they spent a fair bit of money in trying to secure promotion, I don't think overall that money was well spent. They should have done much better, but they still have a chance.
 

Grant Holt

31 goals this season (20 in the league). Of those 20 league goals, 9 were pens - so 11 from open play.

Charlie scored 16 goals i think, of which 3 were penalties - so 13 from open play.

:computer:

It will always look like an expensive gamble from the point of view of every other League 2 club and most in League 1.

Whether they go up, or not, £170,000 (o.n.o.) is money no-one else has.
 

Grant Holt

If he spent less time falling over and moaning at the ref he could improve.
 

Grant Holt

He's been absolute sh*te against us and Simpson is a lucky man. To only scrape through into the POs with his hand was shocking. The signing of Dunfield from Macclesfield for a decent fee was bizzare, he's pony and all those forwards he signed was pure desperation IMO. Saying that I can't see past them or Gillingham for the PO even though I couldn't see past Dagenham last week.;)
 

Grant Holt

Pity Shrewsbury didn't get a penalty tonight, they'd have been fine. From open play :wave:

£170k for another year in League Two lol
 

Grant Holt

With the first goalscorer money still rolling onto him in the 94th minute, perhaps the opinion is still tainted but how did he not put away that chance?

I would venture to suggest that is the difference between MacDonald and Rhodes (and Rhodes and Williams) against Holt. He snatched at the ball and put it in just about the only place the keeper could have saved it.

He's potentially cost them promotion. £170k, player of the year, etc can't gloss over that :eek:
