oafcprozac Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hope we've not done a Mike Bassett & 'Sid' is in fact the keeper in the vids....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 He looks alright off that video, as much as some say he hasn't got much end product he does score the odd goal and set up a few more. Fast and with a bit of control and has hopefully improved in the few years since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've changed my mind He doesn't exist as a player in Fifa Ultimate team, so he can't be that good. Anyone have his Football Manager stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Asked our resident Dutch fan Duncan (though he's not been on here in a while) about our Sydney. He replied niether his Dad or him had ever heard of Sydney. Duncan looked and confirmed played out his career in dutch league two mainly.

Crusoe Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) If Wayne Bridge had signed for us instead of Reading, and we re-signed a former favourite (!) defender, we could've had a lineup include Sidney Arber Bridge. Or we could sign strikers Lloyd Opara (ex-Colchester) and Rob Hulse and play a front three of Sidney Opara Hulse.

longtimeblue Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Is nobody going to give Lee Johnson any credit for this signing of what looks to be a potentially good player at League One level?? Well done, Mr. Johnson and welcome to BP Mr. Schmeltz. Why give him credit for the signing? We've not seen him play as you pointed out. Could prove to be a star or a duff but praising him for the signing is as illogical as writing the player off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has ever heard of him, we've no idea if he is any good or not, just like we don't with Clarke-Harris and, to a lesser extent maybe, Dayton.

steveecky Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Seemed to have stirred it up with my earlier post. LJ might have unearthed a gem or a good backup, time will tell. It just seems strange to pick up an obscure Dutch second tier player when there are so many known and experienced English players out of contract.

Could prove to be a star or a duff but praising him for the signing is as illogical as writing the player off. Why give him credit? Because it makes a change from the usual 'slapping down' of a player before we have even seen him play..that's why..and I'm giving him credit, not praise.

Snookmeister Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 He's my new fave player simply because of his name. Sounds like an accountant. "You should see my man Schmeltz, here's his card..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 He's my new fave player simply because of his name. Mine too!! I wasnt going to bother with the £20 shirt offer - but feck it; i'm going to buy one and stick this lads name on it. Full title too mind; got to have Sidney on their too!!

BP1960 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Sydney seems equally at ease on the right or left flank, I expect James Dayton though to play on the left flank if he can score goals like after 3 mins 15 secs into this video. The days of exciting wingers aka Holden and Adams could be returning. James Dayton video; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The full version please: "Ole Ole Ole, Ole Ole Ole Sidney Schmeltz Schmeltz Schmeltz..." (waves hands in air conga style...). Oh Sidney Sidney, Sidney Sidney Sidney Sidney Sidney Schmeltz... "Pass to the Dutchie on the right hand side..." That wins for me....

I'm not slapping him down or giving him credit. I'll make an informed decision on the signing come August, hpefully Johnson gets credit then. I'll give his parents credit for naming the lad though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more chance of understanding Schmeltzs tweets in dutch than we have understanding Belizika, Montano and Clarke Harris #YaGetMeFam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
