Midfield Replacement/bolster

[FunkyZeus]

It came to my attention that Jeff Minton is available on a free transfer from Leyton Orient during the summer, and i think he would be a good replacement for either Evans or Mahon if they sadly depart. We need that sort of player in our midfield - a hard tackling central player. Even if they don't leave, I reckon Minton would be a good signing, and he is already in London which would tempt him to come to us. I know playing in the third division doesnt make him sound like a good player, but remember where we signed Paul Evans from (the Shrews). We were linked to him a few seasons ago, and he wold be a really good squad player, whether we are playing first or second division football. I think Midfield players should be a priority during the summer, as when Evans and Mahon go off the boil then we have no experienced player to replace them.
Please Ron, consider Minton.

Up the Bees

N.B. since Barnet got relegated to the conference, Brentford are officailly the only Bees in the Nationwide, isnt that something to cheer about!

Minton is a dirty little ****er

Minton's been going downhill for some time now. We can do better. If we're in the First Division, we'll need to.

Agree. Minton has never, and shall never fulfill his potential - quite simply, he's not good enough for us.

We were always, and will always bee, the ONLY Bees in the Nationwide, just because some aspirational Conference side in Nawf Lahndon thinks they can steal a proud heritage, doesn't make it official.

A Seagull friend of mine has a very low opinion of Minton from his time at Brighton. I quote " Little short-arse with an attitude problem, who's over inflated ego far out ways his talent! "
IMO Minton has always looked quite good against us but my mate has seen more of him then I have

If we do lose both Evans and Mahon at the end of the season I wonder if it may be the time to give some of the lads already at the club a chance to fill those shoes.

Eddie Hutchinson, Martin Rowlands, Kevin O Connor, Jay Smith and Jay Tabb are surely all worthy of a chance aint they? Oh also has anyone seen the youth player called Walker play? maybe Jamie Walker...he looks quite promising as well.

Also do you think that Sidwell may come back to us next season? I mean he looks some player but lets face it he isnt close to first team football at Arsenal...and surely first team football is better than reserve team isnt it?

Personally, I think we've got a very good chance of resigning Sidwell again next season - expecially if in the First division because that will allow Sidwell to step up a level towards getting to play premiership football (equally, his preformance this season might attract First Division interest which might be more attractive to him if we don't go up).

One thing though, clubs very rarely seem to sign the same player on loan twice - I don't know if that means anything, but...

 

[Jimbee]

Why would we want to resign Sidwell after he's done so well for us this season.

 

[PAZ]

but then he was playing third division football...

some short memories here - minton was the spark behind rotherham's promotion push, i think(/hope!!) you'll find
