Would you take a chance on this free agent? wont be on big money now.

Not a bad shout although if he is fit and ready to go someone will make him a better offer and therein lies the problem, One way or another we have to take a chance whether that is with an experienced pro, a kid or someone with a chequered history and in most cases someone will make a better offer. That means the only option is to throw some money at someone, and that doesn't seem especially likely.

He will be fit and we might have a chance as he played at a low level previously.

I read an article about him, probably in the London Standard, when he went to Sacramento and it was all about him moving there permanently to coach long term. That must have gone well!* 2016:

 

A player/coach, sign him up.

Wouldn't it be strange if we signed him and played him against Port Vale?

I remember him being great at Scunthorpe and Burnley in the Champ but :censored: everywhere else. Wonder what happened?

We need Mary's boy child to save us now.

A. We are one win away from being ahead of Bury and out of the relegation zone.

B. We have a game in hand on all the others.

C. Bury have one point in 10 games, and that's against the team that we are up against next.

D. We beat Scunthorpe 2-0, there are very small margins in this division.

E. The manager was given a massive handicap with the situation at the start of the season and the new restricted loan system, we haven't really seen what he can do yet.

F. What have Boney M got to do with this anyway?

A) Bury haven't won a league game since 24th September and yet we are still below them.

B ) Game in hand counts for nothing unless you win it and that isn't likely for us.

C) They are 8th and unbeaten in their previous 6.

D) Yes we beat Scunthorpe 2-0 but have failed to score in 13/14 of our 22 games so far.

E) On the flipside he has been able to bring in the players he wants (strikers all his first choice) yet has failed to get any of them bar two playing well regularly and they are two he will have little to do with.

The first 4 you can look at either way. So to say that we need a miracle is silly, and that's the point I was answering.

I don't know where you got your "information" from for E but do rather suspect that you are purely making it up rather than (a) knowing what all his targets were and whether he got them or not (B) having real facts about him not being involved in our new signings for January.

I still need an answer to F ! :-)
