Can't see it myself for many of the reasons already stated - and I love Cowley being described as a cockwomble!
But.... as a fan stood next to me at Lincoln sais: "Do I like Rhead? No, I fecking hate him" But "would I have him at GTFC? In heartbeat"
Positives? I think the major thing we lack is a target man/partner for Wes (who was fantastic yesterday, by the way) - Rhead would be top class at this; holding the ball up, enabling Wes and midfielders to make runs etc. He'd also be a big threat at set pieces. Obvious neither Cardwell or Akheem have the experience, maturity or presence at the minute
Negatives: He's a cockwomble
I've heard dafter rumours but almost all Jolley's signings are young and hungry players and have half an eye to long term planning

Can't imagine he would only sign to the end of the season though. Minimum 18 months or there's no benefit to him
I think there would be a benefit to him. He'd be getting games which would put him in a better position in the summer. Whether there's a benefit to us, I'm not so sure.

If defenders have one eye on him that will give Thomas and Rose (when on the pitch) time to put the ball in the net.
It takes all types to make a successful team
If he does the business he will be excepted

Noooooooo
|
| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

He would create space and take the opposing centre half away from Wes, as for those that say no way whatsoever, are these the same people that keep typing " in Jolley we trust".

Lincoln fans saying he lives near Stoke and is allowed to "self train" one day a week to minimise travel. Don't believe it will happen but this makes it seem ever more unlikely.

Mike Lyons signing if I ever saw one. get more coaching into young Rose that`s what management is all about. Anyone seeing that video clip with young Henderson surely would not want no part of him playing for GTFC

This makes the Port Vale rumour further up seem a bit more plausible.

Afternoon fellow Mariners!
Hope you're all enjoying today following yesterday's win. I know I am!
I've been reading the comments regarding Rhead and the rumours about him signing. Everyone has a different option and that's essentially what a message board like this is all about. For me, I wouldn't be behind Jolley for signing him, however I trust in what he's doing and would hope that it would work out in the instance we did sign.
There's a couple of reasons I would prefer us not to. Firstly, the manager has stated about looking for players that fit the team ethos. I must say I've been really impressed whenever I've heard this. He clearly has an idea of what the club is and how he wants the team to play and be viewed. His signings so far that are generally younger, hungry players with a great work rate. In addition, the team seems to be cohesive and a good unit, this has only been further proven by the players reaction to Fox leaving. I just can't see Rhead fitting in to that sort of dressing room.
I know that some fans have the opinion that we are too nice to play against, which might be a valid point. A lot of successful teams have a mean centre half and a midfield enforcer for example. However this is usually done within the rules of the game, John Welsh's tackle yesterday was a great example of this.
I really wouldn't like to see Rhead up front playing the role that we saw with Richard Brodie. I was embarrassed at times at how he let his temper get the better of him and I can only see that Rhead would be similar if not worse.
To summarise, I'd love a forward that was a handful, who let the opposition defenders know that he was there, but by working their socks off for the team and the fans in the right way. If he does sign then he does, hopefully he'd do the shirt and the club proud, but I just can't see happening.
I'm looking forward to to seeing what the last few days of the transfer window brings. In Jolley I trust.
UTM.
