this and garswoods reply sorted me out thanks. funny that no one else noticed that the lad coyle was also a loanee at the time
You always get that little bit extra from me ;) But he wasn’t a loanee, just one of the 16 kit wearers!
Gents, other than the original poster, you’ve all been talking sense. I’d suggest that, in the future, you make a mental note to disregard most of the postings by the originator of this thread. It’ll save you a lot of time and effort.
For the life of me I cant see how the egg chasers would help the quality of the pitch, so I agree the fat egg chasers wallowign around our pitch isnt a good thing.Seems to have been a few years wince Whelan put his hand in his pocket and improved it.
Nobody claims it will help. It just doesn’t ruin it as many do claim
Sorry Garswood, for some reason I couldn’t see your comment when I posted my reply.
Here is an idiot’s guide (should come in handy) from the Daily Mail (of course, it’s an idiot’s guide).
It’s from last year’s loan window but it helps. This year’s loan window is open from tomorrow and shuts on the 4th Thursday in March. Can’t loan anyone from abroad.
It’s widely accepted that the rugby does not damage the pitch any more than football does.
Is there no end to the the things you know nothing about?
Could be a few more loanees on the way though when the window re-opens on Monday
how many have we got and how many are we allowed to have[/quote]
Don’t know whether someone has answered this for you but this is from an article about us looking to bring in Craig Dawson…
And that news will come as a blow to many Wanderers fans who were desperate to see Dougie Freedman get the funds to make his own effort to tempt the 23-year-old, pictured, for a second spell at the club. Wigan failed with a deadline day bid for Dawson because they failed to clear the relevant paperwork in time for the 11pm deadline – and the situation was further complicated by the fact Rosler can only play five loan players in his matchday squad, as per Football League rules introduced this season.
… I didn’t know they’d changed the rules this season. Might have been something to do with Watford having 324 on loan last season. Not sure how many you can have in total but you can only have 5 dressed up in football kit on match days. No wonder Coyle struggled – that full kit wanker took up one of the 5 slots himself.
Hey Griff do I not get an apple for bringing this news 3 days ago?
Where as nippleslip gone? :cheer:
You can have one if it makes you feel better, but the lad who organises the coaches from Ashton was streets ahead of you. Oh, and someone at Google. ;)
If I actively watched both teams, I’d be at the rugby game. It’s one of only two big games they have all season. Be daft to miss it.
My contribution in this debate is about you and your opinions and the way you dismiss with sarcasm or insults anyone who differs from you, so I pointed out all the teams that are playing a front two and the success they are having doing so, despite anything you claim.
If you want to know my preferred line up or formation it is exactly the same as what Martinez wanted to play – in general a mobile front 3 with no player tied to a fixed role like we played with Kone, McManaman and Maloney or the season before with Moses, Di Santo and Maloney, but as Martinez also said he also didn’t want to be tied to any one system and unlike you neither do I.
Why the fuck would I be interested in what you think?[/quote]
God knows, but you seem to contribute(polite for ‘stick your nose in’) to every post I ever make on here so perhaps you may explain it.
Please let us all know when you are taking your leave of absence won’t you, a few more ex posters who you have forced off here with your nasty, vindictive cyber bullying might then start coming back.
Sit back and wait for the predictable insults.[/quote]
Forced off? Really? You know that for a fact, do you? Course you don’t. More of your usual bullshit. I’m sure some of the moderators would have been on my case had people complained.
Some people need to grow a pair and grow up. Particularly you.
And as for sticking my nose in? This 2 striker thing was a debate between me and Donny and Horc to start off with that you just gegged in on.

Your proposed sabbatical didn’t last very long.I never actually said when it would start. But as usual, you have read things that weren’t written and/or not read things that were.
You claimed and have done for a while that 2 up front is consigned to history, my list sort of muddies the water of your opinion would you not think?“Almost nobody” plays that way was the phrase I used, not “consigned to history”. But you crack on, just make shit up like you always do.
Doesn’t matter about the personnel, team or formation whether its 2 wingers, wing backs or fullbacks getting forward all those teams play 2 out and out strikers and they are the highest scoring teams and title challengers or leaders in all three leagues.Maybe it doesn’t to you, but I was addressing the specific desire of Donny for us to play with two strikers and two wingers. But again, that would require you to read what was written rather than make up stuff to suit your argument.
Bored now. Standish, WGTB and others seem to have got it and are in the process od successfully blowing a hole in your opinion or whatever other over the top, ridiculous phrase it was that you used.
It clashes with the saints v wigan derbyNot sure “clashes” is appropriate, these days. Co-incides, maybe?
Intelligent is subjective though – Some of Einstein’s school teachers thought he was retarded & he failed the entrance exanm to get into a decent school (initially).On the football pitch was Gomez intelligent for picking out McManaman with that pass to set up the 2nd goal in the FA Cup Semi-Final or was McManaman more intelligent for making the run into space in the first place? Likewise with McEachran & Fortune on Saturday
So I’m completely sitting on the fence with this one – He’s alright. Does some good stuff & does some bad stuff and that’s it.
He polarises opinion coz some people like players who are gonna give you blood, guts & 120% commitment whereas others like players with a bit more craft & guile. Those in the first camp exaggerate his weaknesses & those in the second camp exaggerate his strengthsDon’t dispute any of that. You said there were more intelligent players than Gomez – I presumed you meant in our squad. Who did you have in mind?
so why not try two strikers up front, we certainly wouldn’t score less goals.And how on earth do you prove that? Is there not an argument to suggest that taking a body out of midfield to accommodate the extra striker leaves gaps that may* lead to us conceding more goals too?
* please do not unbold this text. It is important to my point of view
Do you still have an outside toilet and send your kids down the mines, too?
The lone striker approach has got nothing to do with Martinez, stop being so obsessed!!! Almost nobody plays with 2 strikers and 2 wingers as your mate Donny Dark Ages is advocating. Mind you, he thought McEachran was shite so all he is doing with each post he makes is demonstrating how far out of step he is with most other people’s opinions.Man City 68
Liverpool 58Leicester 52
Burnley 42
Derby 57
Forest 46
Reading 47Brentford 51
Wolves 49
Orient 59
Rotherham 51Leading scorers in top three divisions, all play 2 up front, look at the league tables where they are.
They may not play wingers on both flanks but use full backs to get forward and that fill that roll, but it shows that “having an outside toilet” can be quite successful.[/quote]
Well done there, not “bolding” the bit about playing 2 wingers as well as two strikers to competely suit your argument and diminish mine. You’re not a woman are you? ;)
I’ll just respond re the top two in your list because I don’t claim to have the encyclopaedic knowledge of the formations of many teams down to League 1, and if you do, you probably need to get out more.
Liverpool do have two strikers – and two bloody good ones at that – but they do not play as a conventional front two, as in the old typical 442 formation with two wide men – or wingers – which is what our friend Donny has been talking about.
As for City, well you can have that one, for two reasons:
a) they hardly fall into the same category as other teams do they and in any case, again, they play far more fluidly than just as a conventional front two. Granted, at least when Dzeko and Aguerro play together, there is a big ‘un and a little ‘un which Donny might recognise from his old Shoot! magazines.
b) I said “almost nobody” plays that way which implies exceptions. I accept that I didn’t make this clear by putting it in bold; but had I done so, you would probably only have removed it.
There! Didn’t insult anybody there, did I? Very sarcastic, I grant you, but a) that’s me and b) so was yours.
