Here's my contribution.............he's got two legs [probably] repeat ad nauseum on every new rumours post.



Threads like this should continue as long as anti owner posts do as they never feature anything new either.

As for Ruben Reid.....I think I would offer him terms. If we play like we did in the second half he would be good, if he played like we did at the start then he wouldnt offer us much.

Purely on the basis that he's from our neck of the woods and has just been released by a similar-sized club, I'd be very surprised if we didn't take a look at him in pre-season.

from what i remember he had a good couple of games then disappeared like most loan players that aren't kids trying to prove themselves. There must be better than him knocking about the bottom of the barrel for us.

I wouldn't touch Reuben Reid.We're SUPPOSED to be looking forward not having old has beens back.If Oldham don't want him (lets be honest, he didn't really do much there did he?) then we don't want him.He had a couple of good games for us then did nothing.

You mean the Joel Campbell that's a full international and scored twice against Spain this season... pull the other one. Twitter'll be saying John Guidetti's signing next

They probably can't afford him. Gambled on a short term contract in the hope of getting into the play offs

I havent seen him recently, but Showumni was a decent player. I wouldnt mind taking a look. After all most people here are obsessed with signing a big striker.

I'll never forget the chant Leeds fans sung to Enoch:

Enoch has got a massive c*ck, Enoch, Enoch,
Enoch has got a massive c*ck, Enoch, Enoch,
He sh*gged a woman, now she's dead,
He swings his c*ck around his head,
Enoch Showunmi, United's 21.

Think Nolan is a left-back which isn't a position we're desperate for. Thompson is good but injury-prone. Togwell I've always liked although Scunthorpe fans don't seem too sorry to lose him. Is he better than Chambers?

I'd quite like us to look at Marcus Bean from Brentford.

Interesting. But I'd want to look at which of their first team squad are out of contract before making assumptions that the clear out includes the likes of Cuvelier.
