Guest Eddie Hitler Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hatters net seems to be sufferring from the same alzheimers as the rest of the Rivals network. Their messageboard is closed and their 2001 profile for Forbes shows they signed him from Norwich for £60k, he's a natural wide player who can play either side, and is a crowd-pleaser. These days he probably plays centre half and shirks challenges SGR I could revela my sources but then I'd have to kill you B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edson Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 SGR I could revela my sources but then I'd have to kill you B) I'd name and shame, if I were you, Eddie. After all, what do you want with an unreliable source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 SGR I could revela my sources but then I'd have to kill you B) I dont want you to revela your sources whatever that means. You wouldn't be able to kill me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddie Hitler Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Edson - I could drop mysterious hints about knowing somebody on the inside (such as Frank Barlow's dog) but I found it on www.qpr.org if you must know. Like us they only bother speculating about their own signings so it's probably true. SGR - "revela" is the nearest English rendering of an pre-Aramaic Assyrian dialect word which I won't reveal. And if you're immortal I suggest you ask for a refund of your pension contributions as you're wasting your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Edson - I could drop mysterious hints about knowing somebody on the inside (such as Frank Barlow's dog) You mean 'Bowser' has been dropping secrets to you too? I thought me and her had a special relationship. Two timing bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cider gliders Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Adrian Forbes would be a ruddy good signin` if we could get he! Heres Hopin` it be true. 14 goals already this season Yers his picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 http://www.lutontown.premiumtv.co.uk/page/...72~8742,00.html I found this which adds to information about him, it seems a bit strange to be buying competition for Freezer already! It doesn't mention his contract status, but he has been with them nearly 3 years which is a pretty standard contract length. If he is out of contract in the summer we may be able to pick up a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mallardini Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Luton fan's description of Adrian Forbes: "He's been great for us this season and is starting to gel well with Steve Howard. He did not start as a striker, when we got him (from Norwich if i remember rightly) he was a right winger and we've not always had him available - he missed most of last year (either leg break or cruciate ligament) If he carries on playing as he is at the moment a good signing (we'd be right in the ###t if he does go) but not enough to guarantee an automatic promotion. To be honest i think he's just currently in a very good run of form and has benefitted from playing with two very good (for Div 2) forwards this year in Gary McSheffrey (back at Coventry now) and big Steve. In fact if all three were available 9 times out of ten I'd play McSheffrey with Howard. That said he's better than that gobby, baldy forward you sometimes play with Lee Peacock (Christian something?..dirty,dirty player!)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bcfccider Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Forbes on the right wing, Freezer on the left wing - the perfect combination. Aaron Brown unfortuntely is not producting the goods on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 You mean 'Bowser' has been dropping secrets to you too? I thought me and her had a special relationship. Two timing bitch. Looks like the old dog got it wrong then: Today's Evil Post: "...Wilson stressed that reports on the internet linking City with a possible raid on the Hatters were wide of the mark." and, "...Wilson accepts that he will have to move players out if he wants to add any further new faces to his Bristol City squad." Rumours huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 We've spent £300k on Miller, £250k on Wilkshire and £50 - £100k on Goodfellow, so obviously we are going to be linked with other players, as we're the only team in this division spending money. However, not only do we know the above fact, so do the agents of players who want a transfer, and it isn't beyond said agents to leak rumours in an attempt to get their player a lucrative move (those agents can be little tinkers). That is what is happening here, but Adrian Forbes is no more likely to be signing for Bristol City in the foreseeable future then I am (I'm a right winger, by the way, Danny, if you're listening).
