Kimbo Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I don't think anyone is saying he should start every game, just here and there. A few injuries and we're fucked in midfield, I don't see who else we could bring in for £0m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Think he'd be a great addition for the rest of the season, still looked canny when he was playing in Peru from what I've seen. (Which is a fair few matches, as I have developed some strange obsession for Peruvian footy stemming back many FM's ago ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca888 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I dont see Nobby playing much of a starting role and certainly not at full back. I still think we will sign Simpson, one way or the other. I see Nobby in a creative role, possibly even in the middle at times, as an impact player off the bench.

Incognito Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 He's worth a starting spot at the same frequency as Pancrate,if he's lost his legs to leprosy and Alzheimer's is about to take hold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Not saying he should start by all means (if he signs) but it would be nice to have him back in some coaching capacity at the very least......would also help the other Spanish speakers in the squad (though Jonas and Enrique speak English canny well) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Would love Nobby back, we mayscore from some direct freekicks too Quality crosses aswell oooh the idea of it. :lo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 When you consider some people think the likes of Nolan, Smith, Simpson, Shola etc are good players at this level, I don't see a problem with Nobby being able to handle it even though he is 35. The likes of Graham Alexander looked the part at this level (and still does at 39 in the premiership). He may not have the legs but having a good footballing brain and the technical ability that he does I think he will be a great short term signing.

matta Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 If Nobby is anywhere near the player he can be i'd love to have him back. If he signs till the end of the season; Please prove us wrong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 One of my all time fav toon players is Nobby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The nufc.com slant on this story is f@ckin ridiculous - but sadly quite typical of them nowadays. An ex player trains with old club - a pretty common occurence. Somehow (to suit their agenda) they've twisted it to this now being the club's policy on future signings, asking if it will be Dyer, Cort and Alan Foggon next ? I guess in that case Arsenal will be making moves for Tony Adams, Alan Smith and Charlie George in the coming days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 We should just sign him for the hell of it, anyone with trumpet skills like his deserves a regular wage. Even at the age of 35 i would be immensely surprised if he managed to be worse than pancake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I think he could manage this division tbh, his football brain is 20 times faster then some of the cloggers in this league. If he helps us gain promotion then fine by me. Plus it would give us another free kick taker and someone who can pass the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Would definitely have him in as another body in the squad till the end of the season. Would hate to think he was the only player brought in this window though, but on a free and hopefully on nominal wages, I dont see the problem TBH. Hopefully in training he can teach some of the others how to cross/deliver a ball as well, and help fine tune Ryan Taylors free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 If Guthrie and Taylor can cause problems with their crossing ability then Nobby will tear most defences apart. He could contribute significantly considering he can play at right back too. On a minimum contract, month to month basis he could be a good face to add to the squad. Creativity is something we've been crying out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Guthrie has the engine to get into those positions though, it's extremely ignorant to assume that just because he has the delivery, (it's not nearly as good as it was btw) he'll be able to use it.

He will be playing in an uber shyte league. I think he can manage it, he'll use his footballing brain as his pace and do teams with his passing.

Superior Acuña Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'd be okay with this. Unless he's really gone downhill, I think he could be a decent squad player at this level, and good influence. It would be great if he was with us for promotion. And I expect (hope) it's only til the end of the season and he won't expect first team football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he's retained the same amount of fitness and ability as Beckham, who still applies his trade at one of the biggest clubs in the world. Let me guess "that's different"?

Howay then, I'll bite. How do you know that? I'm not going to get into this again because I love Nobby and it's only natural that a footballing ability of his calibre will deteriorate at a certain age. At West Ham and in the few games i've seen him play for Peru in the last year suggest strongly that his delivery isn't nearly as effective as it was in his last 2 years with us. The lad on here who watches the Peruvian league regularly (not Mick, he's daft) will probably concur with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
