Untie the straight jacket and have a look for yourself!

I don't know snowie. The impression that I get is that Brough wants to be Mr Bigshot. He has a form sheet as long as your arm. I just don't fancy him.

We'll see him on Sunday


Oh wait a minute

I know, but at Wakey he IS Mr Bigshot! No? John Kear's speciality is getting the best out of players like Brough. Signing Brough would be risky IMO. Obviously, I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time. But that's why I wouldn't sign him.

robbie still performing and he is helping myler come on, just being in the background is good enough, broughy is a dynamite player handle him well and and he will explode when you went him , treat him with content and the explosion will be within your team, long is reaching his career end but still could give another two years

i wasnt complaining about him in that way - more of he wasnt as dynamite for us as he had been in the past for the Bulls which was supposed to be the reason we signed him - he was ace off the pitch and for marketing he was the biggest signing we could have made. lovely guy, true proffesional but didnt have the dynamic plays we expected, i've a feeling Long would be the same

It would be an absolute disaster.

this is the man who walked out on a GB tour becuase he was tired.

He now wants a two year deal because he wants the money and is preparing for retirement. He has no heart left for the game other than playing for Saints and winning a trophy.

have you seen his goalkicking this season he is missing them in front of the sticks.

HE IS NOT INTERESTED.

HE WILL BE LESS INTERESTED IF HE CAME HERE.

It would be the first BACKWARD step made by the Giants in 4 seasons.

I would rather the money be spent on someone who is HUNGRY, or PROFESSIONAL enough to put in his best every wek. Menzies or Brett Hodgson are model pros who will always give 100%. Someone like Long is not what we need. he is not a model professional and is just looking to make some money


I cannot believe that anyone is seriously considering him as a signing.

NO NO NO

I applaud your sentiments , the word is mercenary

Please don't sign him . He is just using other clubs to bump up his 1 year to a 2 year contract.

Same goes for Brough if we get him I will be cheesed off big style. The guy is trouble wherever he goes.
