Because at this level, most people haven’t heard of many of the other players that we could possibly sign. Before joining town, how often have you actually heard of the players that we sign (granted they might be touted on here the day before by somebody ‘in the know’)?

People love a rumour but a rumour that we are about to sign Montel Gibson isn’t going to get as many people excited as a Boyle, Amond, Lenny rumour.


What?!?!? Were signing montel Gibson AGAIN!! He's already shite and got a 3 year contract why the hell would we give him longer?!?!? Hurst out!

I totally agree with you, but I'd like the trust to tell us what the 'informal' talks were all about. After all they are not governed by boardroom confidentiality on this.


You could always contact them and ask. Come back and share the response.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

LJL was never prolific for us but that was never his job. We need goals and I'm not certain that he will get them but I'm certain, if he were to sign, that he would make the ball stick at the right end of the pitch and bring others into the game.
The Scunthorpe game was the perfect example of how not to play a football match. We got the ball in defence and aimlessly pumped it forward, completely missing out the midfield. If Lenny could get hold of the ball and keep at his feet for even a few seconds it will allow our players to push and make the best of a bad situation.
If we were rumoured to be signing him when we were second from top rather than second from bottom I would agree that we wouldn't need him. In our position I would much rather Hurst sign someone he knows better than they know themselves rather than taking a gamble on someone he can't trust to give what he needs.
This is now about survival and if we can get players who we know will give their all then maybe we have a fighting chance. UTM

For Lenny to be fully effective he needs players around him, at times yesterday when we got more numbers forward you could see his value.

Next season though not a certainty just yet it looks like he’ll be playing against slower defenders who won’t get as touch tight so we’ll really see his value.

In terms of return rate looking at his stats he scored 1 in 3 across his career.

Whichever way you look at it, he gives us far more than Green, Payne or Gibson.

I like the way he holds the ball and puts himself about. Stats since he came back played in 15 games, scored 3 goals, 1 in 5.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
