James Quinn

[rebus]

He could be that boards Canadian Bee.

Point taken.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I'm unsure about this one. I'm deviating from "could be ok" to "no, he never scores goals". Someone else said that this puts a lot of pressure on other strikers to score which is very true and concerns me because of the lack of experience up front.

I don't think he's crap though, he'll do the target man job probably better than Owusu, it's just the goals for column that would worry me.

 

[Silly Chip]

no offence pal

Can't you come up with something other than this Alan Brazil talk, PAL!!! :mad1:

 

[brooks]

We've had a Quinn. We need a new surname.

 

[The H]

lol lol

 

[cheekybee74]

Maybe he'll take a cut in wages?

Seems he was rated as a "quality player" but didn't put the effort in for POSH. Could link well with pacy support around him (Rhodes etc) If we did sign him only hope he was better motivated!

Yes, we have to be careful with this one. A year's deal and not silly money provided we can dispatch Fitz and Willock.

The last bit appears to be a big 'if' at present.

I don't think we can afford him with Lloyd already on the wage bill, he may be just what Lloyd needs to get among the goals again but I'd prefer to take our chances on non-league players and spend the money in other areas.

 

[sgaz]

previosly at Sheff Wed (how did he get on there)

scored v us in the playoff 1st leg didn't he (ist goal)?............good header too :sad:

That was Peacock I thought from behind the pillar.

I agree, we have to be cautious but the side does lack experience past the back four.

 

[Boston Bee]

The generally worrying thought is how many we're signing because, while they've not put in the required effort before, maybe they will this time. Brooker and Willock, now Standing and Pinault, and possibly Quinn.

If we did sign him only hope he was better motivated!

When has this ever been different though? No player is guaranteed to be a success

 

[Boston Bee]

I'm just suggesting, as you did above, that a young player with heart who is lighting up the non-league and is thirting for a shot won't have the salary or the maybe-this-time-ishness about him.

I'd rather pick the best from a group of Dave Laurence's than take a flutter on one Quinn. See also: Campbell, Sodje, Powell, R*****ds, etc

[Brentford_till_die]

Is this the James Quinn that was at Sheff Wed ?

 

[Metro]

Should we play RUSH GOALIE

 

[sgaz]

:yes:

oh..............errrr (cough)





still didn't :afro: say he was looking for a different type of striker, my guess is mr quinn fits the bill, whether he'll do the job or not i'm not sure?

but what do i know (see above posting on player not even on pitch)

True, and we are all often wrong but with some you are more confident than others e.g. just looking at Murray Jones track record you could see he was unlikely to be great

 

[love and mercy]

dont like him he is a cheat

He was on the pitch, he just didn't score.

 

[Canadian Bee]

wouldn't mind seeing him at GP next season,he is a proper targetman.

[sgaz]

oh yeah the goalie...........gotcha i remember now

 

[The H]

dont like him he is a cheat

that was then..... i don't mind him being a fouling, leaning, git if he's wearing the r&w stripes....


diving git won a late penalty for Blackpool a few years ago....

 

[Brentford_till_die]

I wouldnt mind if we signed him up.. always looked dangerous for Sheff Wed...

Leroy did say he was looking for an experince striker with power and who was big (target man)

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

Quinn might be the sort of player we want alongside our smaller, quicker players, but until/unless we get rid of both Fitz and Willock we surely can't afford to spend any more on strikers while we are so short in midfield, out wide and in defence

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I would prefer Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

Mick Quinn ?

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

Niall Quinn...surely?

 

[Brentford Bob]

I have always rated James Quinn. He's the perfect target man - something we've lacked for a long time. A years contract would be worth the risk but nothing more at this stage.

For those that don't remember he also led the line for Northern Ireland when they beat England last september - so he's obviously not a spent force just yet.

 

[Watford Bee]

Quinn's a decent player.

I'd like to see him at GP (on the cheapest possible terms though), and he'd combine well with Kuffour or Moore.

How can we consider getting another striker in until we get rid of one though?

Maybe we are just looking at a 3 month contract as cover for Lloyd

 

[rebus]

Quinn won't come and play for three months.

 

[Simon C]

He's got a year left at Posh so he wouldn't take that. I'd be surprised if he accepted one year.

 

[jmcp]

Why doesnt Keith Alexander who i think is quite a shrewd manager want him at Posh? Attitude maybe or he isnt any good

He's on quite good money there by all accounts.

 

[jmcp]

Oh so he gonna take a massive pay cut then

I hope so, otherwise it's:

 

[Dr Cyclops]

Both Trevor Benjamin and James Quinn are on relatively very high wages at Posh and Willock wanted comparable wages (with some justfication) when negotiations opened to extend his contract. We couldn't have afforded to keep all three on a high whack especially as Danny Crow was developing nicely.

Quinn has a great first touch and is not easy to play against but you have to ask yourself - do you really need to sign a striker who is commencing his fourteenth year as a pro and has yet to hit sixty goals?

Danny Crow is in the final year of his initial Posh contract and extension offers have been tabled and blanked. I reckon you could steal him for £500k plus add-ons and maybe a swap or two. Alternatively, you could have him for £400k if you took Quinny off our hands

Not when we're £9 million in debt. Thanks for the idea though.

Wherever do you think we'd get that kind of money from?

rofl

 

[jmcp]

500 K ? mate you obviously havent heard are situation!

 

[SQUELCH]

Hopefully Leroy wont make the same mistake as MA did....

 

[Dr Cyclops]

9 million?

Is there a half-completed stadium somewhere that's escaped my attention?

If only

 

[Dr Cyclops]

Oh dear - like us, you probably couldn't afford Quinny's wages in that case. He's supposedly on a package of c£100k p.a. with at least a season to run.

How much of your current debt is down to Martin Allen (or is it far more complex than that?)

 

[Edmundo]

Only a small bit. Most of it is down to Ron Noades.

We are sorta streched with our finances.....
