Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
We won't get any new ST holders because of Gudjohnsen.. Nor will anybody buy a shirt who does't already have one.. Yes, people get his name printed, but what revenue will that bring to the club? Probably enough for his cover his share of the dinner for a week at Euxton.TonyDomingos wrote:Ok, I admit to being a grumpy old man But I'm still of the view that this is more about flogging half season tickets & shirts than it is about moving the team to another level. Nothing against Eidur, but his recent record doesn't suggest to me that he'll be ripping this league a new one.Jugs wrote:Exactly.truewhite15 wrote:Ah, don't be so miserable.

Happy to be proved wrong, but I fail to see what an aged Eidur will bring to the party.
File me under "glass half empty" for this one!
We've signed him, I imagine, because he's quite good at kicking a football around a football pitch

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
Exactly.
I think people also need to look at the fact that we need goals. Cravies doesn't score enough.
Where else will we find a striker capable of scoring goals on a free transfer right now? Especially one of Eidur's quality? No where. They're not out there.
It makes sense.

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
Don't know, but I'm seeing Eidur as more of a Claus Jensen than in any striker roll. Could be way wrong.

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
Well, this signing has certainly created a lot of debate, excitement and anticipation.
Well done Bolton Wanderers.

The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
Lcy will be away or sold in Jan! Eidur is his replacement! With navies out we are seriously lacking a creative midfield type
Never get into an argument with an idiot. i'll bring you down to my level and beat you with experience
Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
I think this is much nearer the mark than any out-and-out goalscorer theory... I can see him being provider more than finisher...plymouth wanderer wrote:Lcy will be away or sold in Jan! Eidur is his replacement! With navies out we are seriously lacking a creative midfield type
I hope to be proved utterly wrong and discover that he is both!

Can't help but feel this is near the mark...
On the optimistic side, let's bear in mind one Didier Drogba is also 36... If Eidur gets/stays fit and cuts back on the pies, bringing him back could be a mini-masterstroke.

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
We don't have the clout, financial or otherwise, to replace players like Lee, or Mavies for that matter. If Lennon gets rid of either he will have not taken very long to lose the plot.
Eidur would be a very, very short term stop-gap. Almost on the level of a season-long loan.

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
I'm sure Lennon will be looking to hang on to both. It might not be in his hands though. Whilst I imagine neither ED nor PG would be dumb enough to alienate their promising new manager by pushing him to sell them, LCY in particular may look to move on if the right opportunity arises. Suppose, for example, Everton make a bid. Think LCY would just say no?Jakerbeef wrote:We don't have the clout, financial or otherwise, to replace players like Lee, or Mavies for that matter.

He's now in line for a recall to the Iceland squad, according to the BN.

I feel used.

Re: Gudjohnsen training with the squad
Maybe we could sell him again to Chelsea?
