just 'cos scunthorpe are getting whipped. Erm, yep. Why else? I'll probably say it's even shitter after tonight.

What a shit day of scores.

Adkins will be off to a bigger club in the next couple of years. 3 promotions in 5 years at Scunthorpe, finals at Wembley, players being brought through and sold on for massive profit.....the guy is a fantastic manager, and far too good for little Scunny.

Funny how when we're linked with players from league 1, people assume they won't cut it at this level. When they're about to play against us, they're world beaters. I got banned for trying to tell some dipshit what a good player he was but the moron thought Ameobi and Smith were better options. What did he go for? £1.5m? Steal imo. Mofo: Could be an exceptional signing for the price, one we should have gone for no matter what, better than anything we've currently got thats for sure. Scored just as many goals IIRC as Beckford in a shitter team in the same league, reckon he's ready for the step up, got a bit of the Dean Ashton's about him when he was at Crewe. He could stall or fade, it's easy done, and for sure he hasn't got limitless potential and is a late developer, but with the right coaching and number of games he's got a good chance of making it; so he's probably made the right choice avoiding us. Beckford got more ;-)

Who's making the transfer decisions then?

Source? Thomo Thomoto? Nice try.

I think he'd be a great signing now. The obvious comparison would be Andy Keogh, as Beckford took over his role for Scunthorpe in league 1 a couple of years ago. Keogh looked quality in the Championship, and Beckford's the better goalscorer. I'd actually approach Wolves and see if they'd sell Keogh now they're in the prem.... Don't know anything about Keogh either Name a striker I'll have heard of he's similar to... Les Ferdinand Nah, the Ian Wright comparison is a good one.

What's up with Ameobi then? (should I just read the rest of this thread? )

You don't say.... I've honestly never watched Beckford play, he plays in league 1 ffs. I know he's got an impressive scoring record but I couldn't list any of his attributes. I find it hard to believe that the majority of people on here have seen anything other than on the premier scouting tool of the web. The league below us ffs. Wonder when people will realise that we can't go out and buy champions league players? What has your comment got to do with what I said? I'm not implying we're too good for him by any means, I said I don't know anything about him, he could be too good for us for all I know. I was merely pointing out how surprised I am and the apparent depth of knowledge about a player who's played in League 1 for the last two years (don't know what he did before then). Ahh right, apologies then as I read that wrong. I know plenty about him as I've seen him play at least 30 times.

Friday!

Thought you knew him?

Announced tomorrow, 3pm Friday.

Maicon? On the Brazil team ahead of Alves Thanks. It was more a comment about Smith tbf

Will Thomo's mate lose his job if the club gets taken over? Perhaps he's trying to prevent that happening by throwing a spanner in th works?

Maicon?

My partner in crime for all of these years

Were you the daft idiot who said we were signing THE Ronaldo in August 06 and it would announced during as friday press conference? Not that I'm aware of. NUT has run with it a fair bit, it may have been him

Agree with that list completely, but Essien takes 11 for me instead of Gerrard

This must be a world record for most over-rated (in terms of money) transfer? Unless it's less than the £10m quoted by Leeds.

My only internet claim to fame is that I started this whole "press conference, 3pm" thing years ago. It used to be "Friday, 3pm" though

Most subjective thread ever to appear on here?

I was thinking this the other day. I thought that if all the Newcastle fans started chanting that during a minutes silence, I'm pretty certain the WBA fans would join in.
