Diego_Sideburns Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Delayed announcement to scupper their prep. Let's hope it works! It seemed odd that Monday night's phone-in only referred to the deal for the new centre half being 95% certain, when he had actually signed. The Chron tells the 'cloak and dagger' story and also confirms Corney values highly League One status. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/96404/gerrard-im-here-to-keep-us-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked a treat and they would have chucked their scouting notes out of the window with a different type of centre half in the opposition back 4 than what they prepared for. Genius move from shez!

LaticsPete Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If he gets 9 goals for Blackpool by end of the season I'll give £10 to Playershare Will you make the same pledge if he doesn't? Calling ChaddySmoker.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddot_m Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 2 goals in 4 appearances for Philliskirk - it will be interesting to see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nonaenever Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 what's the surprise? Philly always had goals in him - he's just been used almost as a utility player at BP for a while now and we (the fans) have always taken him for granted somewhat. Stick Philly up front consistently for a full season, with the right support/service, and he will always bag around 15 per season. We just never used him that way - whether that's right or wrong only great footballing minds like David Dunn can answer. Perhaps he really was more valuable in a midfield role when we had more midfield players than you could shake a stick at? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shrews must have parped their pants when he rocked up in the tunnel. Great move by Sheridan. Do we think he's got the potential to be our new Gregan? Nice to have a leader that the fans can get excited about! Edited January 29, 2016 by flytrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Gerrard is aiming to avoid relegation with Latics and then play in the Championship. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/96433/gerrard-shows-off-positive-outlook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_blue Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 At least being open and honest about intentions. Might well change his mind. Can't see him getting into a championship club myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLegend Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm delighted hes back and hes just what we need right now, but hes not Championship standard.

You really should stay absolutely silent about him from now on My pledge to playershare of £10 if he scores 9 or more for Blackpool this season still stands .

IceStationLatic Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 'Decent League 1 sides were saying no', so I joined Latics. What the club has become... He was wanting about £6k a week. His valuation of himself clearly didn't match those who could afford to pay it. We've obviously struck some form of compromise with him, but again, dare I say it, well done to Corney for contacting him and sorting this one out. It could prove a huge moment if we stay up. It wasn't just heading on Tuesday. He was yelling at players. When Dieng put his body on the line to dive in and head clear (which we haven't been doing), Gerrard smacked him in the chest and shouted positively at him. He was pumping them all up - and it was vital to us hanging on in the final few minutes. The whole back line, and Palmer and Kelly in front of them, followed suit - it was so different, it was a winning mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
