Jute Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Because he had an outstanding game against hull? If he signed him on the back of one mediocre performance in a testimonial he is an even bigger clown than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Surley Diamond, Ifil and Langfield making fuck up after fuck up cant be blamed on Mcghee. Its not like he was given money to replace any of them? No you fucked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ok, he signed McArdle, Vuja, Ifil and Howard. Mcardle is a decent player, doing a decent job, more than Adequate replacement for the players that left. Vujadonivic is a left sided defender who replaced Mulgrew - dont see much problems there. Ifil looked like a decent buy after his trial at hull - dont think i heard anyone complaining then and howard is a back up for langfield bought to replace neilson. Cant see much problems there, Next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember the fans chanting to "sign him up" I seem to remember not being there but I do also seem to remember how to characterise his time at AFC. Poor.

stoney Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 If he signed him on the back of one mediocre performance in a testimonial he is an even bigger clown than I thought. Hopefully we pick these lads up. Match report seems to indicate Ifill solidifying the defence. Restores a wee bit of confidence hopefully, Al. Especially with a clean sheet against a Premiership side (in name anyway ). Hopefully McGhee likes the look of the centre half in particular and we can look forward to next Saturday with mere trepidation, rather than dread Jerel always looked good he was someone I mentioned at some point in the past. Ricketts wasn't he the Arsenal trainee who decided that he was not going to get a chance because of the players they had in front of him and got himself a deal at spurs I think doing the negotiations himself. Been at wolves too? If I remember right Rocastle was being talked up a few years ago wasn't he? Maybe just lost his way?? Have to say I'd be pleased with these if they came off step in the right direction anyway. Ifil looked very good. Get him signed, now. Towered above the rest of them But no, really, get him signed! Goes to show you cant always judge a game on radio coverage The first 20mins we had what I was fearing to be the usual suicidal defending - Duff doesnt seem to understand when a keeper shouts leave it, you fucking leave it as opposed to hitting it with pace back towards his on rushing feet so he has to dig the fucking thing out at the last second. Then suddenly the defenders clicked and this boy Ifil was leading the show. Was only on for a few minutes but almost scored! Ball came over perfectly set up for a volley but he didnt get the greatest connection and it was cleared. Not sure if it was going on target. He looked gutted that he didnt score it. I hope that the rumours of us going for ifil, Rocastle and Ricketts are true. I would also go for the other central defender if he was cheao as backup to Diamond & Ifil. The right winger didnt get much time on the pitch but looked alrite. McGhee must have already made up his mind on him to give him so litle time. Fair to say that there will be a collective sigh of relief across all Dons boards. This guy sounds like exactly the sort of player we are looking for (within reasonable expectations of course!) and we will all be feeling a lot more confident just by adding some bodies into the defence prior to Saturday.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 So since? I don't understand what point it is you're making, are you telling me he's a good player or something? Are you telling me he's a right back? Are you telling me he's continued the form of one game into his career at AFC? Are you telling me he should be playing every week for AFC? Let's just leave it as a bad signing, it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDU_64 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Whats your point caller? I don't think anyone argued that they weren't impressed by Ifil against Hull during the summer about 2 seasons ago. However, from that one decent outing in a pre-season friendly against Hull to the performances we have had from him since, he is fucking abysmal. I would have hoped McGhee would have seen more of him rather than one outing against Hull and if he didn't and he signed him on that performance and that performance alone then he is rightly a clown. Yes by all accounts he was good enough against Hull yet surely as manager of a football club, you surely have to see more of a player than one performance?

That was my only point, surely mcghee cant be blamed for Ifil turning out to be shite, he trained well with us for a week, he was a regular at swindon, whos fans loved him and he had a blinding trial for us. His first few games he was ok for us. Was just pointing out that although the player has turned out to be shite, that cant be blamed on Mcghee.

I don't quite understand why it can't be blamed on McGhee? He signed him as a centre back and as a centre back, he is fucking atrocious. McGhee's signing and he continues to be a first team regular at AFC so yes that can be blamed on McGhee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He himself said to judge him when he has assembled his team after 3 or 4 windows. Again, so he can be held accountable. Managers of any sort make bad signings, this has been one. What you don't do is make a mistake a disaster which is what McGhee seems to have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 He also continues to Pick Langfield and Diamond, we are stuck with these players, and our squad is so threadbare we HAVE to play these guys. Like i said in my original post, if he was allowed to sign basey i dont think we would have seen ifil this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'd still keep Ifil as a centre back. Not an automatic 1st pick and I'd want someone new signed that is better, but if our centre backs were, new guy, mcardle, consi and Ifil I'd not be worried.

Madbadteacher Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Stoney, howard is a back up for langfield bought to replace neilson. Who signed Nelson? Why? How often did he play? Who then gave him away at the end of his contract? McGhee couldn't win a game if he had the entire Spain squad to choose from, he'd still make a cunt of it. He HAS to go!
