I see Andy Carroll has signed for Reading
Thought he'd go to Blackpool to provide rides on the beach

Andy Carroll was a decent player, just injury prone. A donkey by no means, great in the air and had a decent finish on himThought he'd go to Blackpool to provide rides on the beach
No one knows what you are talking about.Trai Hume sent off for N Ireland u21s yesterday.
Haven’t seen anything as farcical since the last minute penalty that got Warrenpoint relegated a few seasons ago
I thought quote from KR after last night saying he was not able to say fully what he wanted as there were many matches before Christmas, was v significant, It suggests he knows who is moving out in January, and some did themselves no favours in changing his mind.
As long as Sykes is there to be signedThink it’s fair to say Agyei’s contract offer has been removed..

No forde has done okAdd Forde to that list. Not good enough for a league 1 promotion chasing team.
Do okay players, that play okay, get you promoted? NokayNo forde has done ok
Forde is a decent player certainly there are 3 deadweights that need to be gone in January but if promotion now attained in the summer a lot of our team won’t be good enough for the championshipDo okay players, that play okay, get you promoted? Nokay
Yes, as squad players.Do okay players, that play okay, get you promoted? Nokay

Hang on. So let’s assume that we go up; you’re saying a lot of the team that win us promotion to the championship, aren’t good enough for the championship? I get your point about certain players, but a lot of our team? Nonsense.Forde is a decent player certainly there are 3 deadweights that need to be gone in January but if promotion now attained in the summer a lot of our team won’t be good enough for the championship
Okay, so we have a squad that consists of certain players that are only good against the shite in our league? To me, that’s an indication that we don’t have the standard of depth that we need for promotion.Yes, as squad players.
He said play ‘ok’. To me that is around 6/10, do a job. You’re not going to have a whole squad of 8-9/10 Cameron Brannigans sitting on the bench and not even making the matchday squad maybe. You need some steady-eddie Anthony Forde’s who can do a job in 2-3 positions but won’t play every game.What good is a squad player if when they come on they weaken the team significantly? Sorry to say Forde comes under that category.
He's a really decent footballer. Hasn't ever got established in a position which is unlucky for him. I'm sure he'd be a regular in a mid table side or one that didn't have so many good midfielders.He said play ‘ok’. To me that is around 6/10, do a job.

That's a good point WO - he was really steady for us when covering right back (and i'm not saying he's a right back!) and the right side of midfield and obviously he was getting a run of games at that point. Certainly doesn't need to be singled out given his willingness to cover as requested.He's a really decent footballer. Hasn't ever got established in a position which is unlucky for him.
