Lordy Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 All i've heard is rave reviews about him from people in the know. Regarding Danny Jones from last week, seems like my sources were spot on regarding him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Don't know Gerrard, (who btw is looking for a club but we can't afford his wages) Kelly and Pogs were all fairly decent and would give Temple a run for his money Gerrard's a decent shout actually. Forgot about him. Lordy, you might have some sources "in the game" but I'm sure they're pulling your leg half the time mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor_Coconut Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I would rather put my trust in a coaching staff who watched him for months before signing him ahead of an 'un named league 1 source'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca_is_GOD2 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Big Norm for me, Flemings obviously not better than Crossley otherwise he would be Number 1...If crossley is out for Leicster then I think it will be worrying times for 90 mins on Saturday..But suppose the greegs back so might not be too bad..Will just have to wait and see!!

Oh no pal i wouldnt trust any of them, I'm talking about Coaching staff at League clubs at a similar level to ours who are interested in the same sorts of players to who we are therefore are likely to have done their own scouting on them. examples of players i know were thought highly of O'Grady, Jones and Whitaker. Fleming the only one who ive been told is useless, so 3/4 isnt bad and think Shez has done well in his dealings so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch_KTF Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My 'praise' for Fleming was obviously tongue in cheek as everyone knows i dont rate Crossley at all but they are both sub standard and if Crossley is injured for a long period i wouldnt be surprised if we brought in a Short term signing. And as for my source there are several people on here who know my sources within the game are genuine. Obviously... Bet these sources are always keen to hear your opinions? I for one think you are one of the most interesting, accurate and knowledgeable posters on this here board, particularly when it comes to goalkeeping. If you would only post more often....

Thanks for your loyal and continued support. And btw i don't claim to be an expert myself but i would say my sources have enough pedigree in the game to be classed as reliable, that is all.

With your wisdom, vast experience of football and decades of watching (I see your profile says you are 18) , is that your accurate assessment? That there is no lesser form of goalkeeping competence?

Thats a false question since we've only had two real first choice keepers in 10 years, Gary Kelly and Pogs, but he's better than Chris Day David Miskelly Stuart Naylor And a whole host of keepers we've had on loan apart from Lee Grant.

garcon Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The ONLY keeper I've seen play for us in the past ten years that was arguably better than Crossley was Lee Grant. Pogs had his good moments (he was a top quality shot stopper), but when he was bad he was REALLY bad. If you want clueless, try O'Donnell...

Crusoe Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 We've been very lucky in having very good first choice keepers over recent years. And, personally, I don't see Crossley or Fleming as bad keepers at all. I'm happy when either plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLatics Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) P.s i dont have to be an expert on goalkeeping to know that Crossley is USELESS How stupid are you?! In case you haven't noticed, he's kept 5 and a half (the half being against Herefod) clean sheets out of 10. If he keeps that trend going, and we get have + clean sheets come May... EIEIEIO...

Maradona was a good player, should we sign him aswell ? clown Quality - comparing maradona with Crossley - you're a beaut. The reason i was remindingyou of his profile, was to 'suggest' that i thought your term 'useless' was a bit harsh for someone who has played a v good level for many years and is still, clearly, doing the business - therefore i though it would be very interesting to see your 'profile' in 15 years time!!!

On second thoughts, maybe his spelling is so bad that instead of Crossley being "useless", he actually meant "fantastic" Edited October 15, 2008 by LaticsPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
