oafcprozac Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Joined Northampton from Leeds. Good signing for them I suppose but at 30 years old glad we've gone for the up and coming route rather than the on the way down type player. Did too much of that last pre-season.

Gaz_Oafc Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) good signing for northampton on a free. thought we might have had a go (before we signed o'gradey) Edited July 2, 2008 by Gaz_Oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Good player. Prob wasnt right for us in the end, but will score goals, and more than likely score goals against us. Will get a warm reception from me at BP... until he scores said goal, which is pretty inevitable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davros Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 good signing for northampton on a free. thought we might have had a go (before we signed o'gradey) Not a bad signing at all..... if he can show a glimmer of his former self will do well!

Guest oa_exile Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Major dissapointment for me was really hoping we would pull out all the stops to sign him Feel as low as I did when Udders signed Phil Jevons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Why's this been moved? I thought when the boards were restructured, L1 posts joined the Latics forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigfinLatic Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Major dissapointment for me was really hoping we would pull out all the stops to sign him Feel as low as I did when Udders signed Phil Jevons Cheer up! ... to the tune of the "who needs Mourinho..." "The coblers signed Zebedee, but we've got o'gradeeee" (or "Daviiieeees", or "Super Lee" - inset as appropriate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonesyOAFC Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm glad we didn't get him personally, thought he was a waste of space. No composure, 6ft odd but awful in the air, looked dopey with the ball at his feet, and except one good season for Vale, his scoring record isn't all that either. We've got at least 3 better strikers in the squad already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskedOwl Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Think people are underestimating him here. Constantine and Akinfenwa up front are a strong attacking pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Think people are underestimating him here. Constantine and Akinfenwa up front are a strong attacking pair. Dont know if its happened but Akinfenwa had told Northampton he wouldn't sign a new deal and was expected to sign for Orient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Not really that fussed. Aparently the Northampton manager says that he has a good relationship with his agent. Proves who has the power these days, the players go where they are told to go by their agents. His wages will be high, unless a deal with Leeds has been struck, and we have probably got two players for what he would have cost us.

LaticsLee Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Davies, hughes And O'grady are all better than him so whats the big problem ? we have 3 class strikers plus lewis A is upcoming star he did naf all for us so im glad he hasnt came here Edited July 3, 2008 by LaticsLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 he did naf all for us so im glad he hasnt came here Heh. Aye, alright then. And you've seen O'Grady regular then have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 yeah i seen him a fair few times to be honest and id rate him the better player than leon o'grady is young and pretty good, thats what we want not players who are aging abit apart from hughes of course lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying O'Grady isn't as good, but he's not proved it yet. Leon has, and as for age, well I'd say he's in his prime right now. When O'Grady scores 20+ goals in a season then I'll agree on who's a better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
