What is your problem? Did he run aver your dog? Did he buy the last loaf of bread just before you got the chance in your local shop one morning? Did he save your football club from oblivion? Start coming up with some facts or justification for your constant drivel. I think Manwork has been wronged by the club previously and has a personal vendetta against whoever the owner is. In fact, I think I know who he may be. A disgruntled director from way, way back...

Given what we were looking for - a desperate last minute attempt to sign a striker to 'get in behind' - I don't actually think Hooper is that bad of a signing. As last minute signings go at least he's played and scored in this league before and isn't some Gorre-esque rookie.
What concerns me, though, is that Page seems to have suddenly decided that we don't have the players to play 4-2-3-1 and that 4-4-2 is the only viable option. Personally, if I was inheriting a team who got 99 points last year I would have moved heaven and earth to preserve a winning system and change as little as possible, replacing like with like.
Anyway, I'm wondering if our best bet now is full on direct 442 hoofball. It won't be pretty, but it'll be less turgid to watch than the sterile gruel Page has offered up so far and it certainly matches our current squad profile: big, physical, decent set piece delivery etc.
Smith
Phillips Zakuani Diamond Buchanan
Gorre/Potter O'Toole Byrom Taylor(isn't he usually a left-sided midfielder?)
Hooper Revell
Boothroyd would have wet himself with excitement with a side like that (although he wasn't that keen on Hooper in the end).

Where did Bungle state that he was discussing tonight? Isn't that more of a 'moving forwards' look?

Wouldn't be surprised if Gorre starts up front tonight as a "tester" for the little and large act for when Hooper comes into the team.

You do know Hooper is over 6 foot?

Ok let me re-phrase; a "tester" for the hold up player/speedster. Happy?

He is a step up from what Richards is able to offer at the moment. Welcome JJ. Looking forward to you becoming our highest goal scorer this season Rico and revell got absolutely no service v AFC hence no goals/chances and based on what hooper offered last time I'd rather have a 1 legged rico in the team than him.

You said it - "on what he offered last time". But shall we see what he offers this time before making judgement.

To make room in their squad for Adam le fondle (himself).
Crowie is right - PV have no money and JJH free's up funds. Many PV's not happy though!

I think Kemar Roofe is a good example of what is possible when you take a chance with a young player. When Oxford signed him at the start of last season he had only played a handful of games (around 35) and scored 7 goals whilst playing for teams in league 2. Harper is the same age that Kemar was last August, has played over 30 games at a higher level and scored 5 goals. By all accounts although starting the last 3 games for Port Vale this year, he has been played out of position, and has failed to score.
I think people should give him a chance.
Harper??

If you're judging a player today based upon what he was like as a teenager 3 years ago then that's a bit silly isn't it?

In summary. ... Page is on a lads holiday, 7 days left, hes got an"easy" one in the bag early .... but has his eye on a couple of crackers for the end of the holiday.
If he fails to bed the crackers. ... he still got one in the bag before the holiday ends and wont get left short.

If he is Michael McRitchie, he should be banned forthwith. Your Excellency, look into it.
