Not familiar with him at all and dont know too much about him.... anyone know if hes decent?

[norfolk ranger]

He is shite...

[QPR Rickson]

Jesus wept. It don't get much worse than that. I just hope this is a 2bob rumour someone has made up.

[OneJamieMackie]

Not again !! We've been linked with him before ages ago

There's no way I'd accept losing Faurlin and signing Pratley and keeping Henry

[upperloft]

No ta.

[Fordy]

By what I have seen of him and what the Bolton fans think of him. He's proper pony. Really don't understand this one. He's basically everything we don't need in a midfielder.

[RobertoQPR]

Our team is going to have about as much flair and charisma as a Yorkshire pudding

Article seems all over the place, sighting Rob Green as one of our top earners still... despite him leaving the club already. Fingers crossed the rumour is just as bs

[Hertford Hoop]

There will be dozens of this type of news between now and end of August. Expect this to be just poor journalism, we were once linked to nearly every has-been going of a well known variety, now we are being linked with every has-been of the never made it variety. How times have changed

[dogsrrs]

Don't know anything about him but it seems Jimmy Floyd is is going to make us hard to beat signing leaders No shortage of captains

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Wasn't bad years ago. I stress years ago.

Barely heard of him the last 3 seasons. Would be hoping for a lot better signings than this, I'll be honest.

Flashbacks...this is the reaction on here when we were rumoured to be signing Shaun Derry.
He would bring much needed experience to our midfield, let's not write him off before he's even signed yeah?

[Tarbie]

He's another Karl Henry isn't he? Untalented, workmanlike midfielder who is past his best. I hope this is just paper talk.

Not a good comparison. Derry was a player who had worked with Warnock and was trusted to do a job that the manager knew he could do. Hand picked really. This signing is just that. A signing.

Yeah fair point about the comparison. If he does sign though I hope he does at least get a chance.
