Simon Dawkins (Loan)

Rohan Ricketts said he's better than Gabby........

rohan ricketts has had more clubs than a blind seal.

People linking to his wondergoals on Youtube, he's scored 14 goals in 2 years in the US amateur league, following his time at Leyton Orient, so frankly, you can stick the highlights up your arse.

No you're right. Writing him off a couple of hours after he's signed is obviously better than hoping he might actually be useful and showing that he has the ability to score a few.

Oh okay, let's sign the top goalscorer from the fucking conference.

Or be enthusiastic about more of Lambert's dead-wood, your call.

Well obviously i've already made mine. I prefer to wait until he's kicked a ball for us before writing him off.

How long is he on loan for?

End of the season when he will be out of contract. So there is also the hope that he'll be wanting to play well to get a contract somewhere.

At least he can finish.

so can Bent , aint done us much good.

Looking at wiki and the wages he was getting in the MLS, it would have cost Randy more to sign me. It's unbelievable and I would have played in defence as well.

Anything he does here is a bonus.
He's a shot to nothing.
Even if he stinks out the place, its not like we're paying
him a kings ransom on a long contract ala Habib Beye.

Ta.  So he's either been signed because someone thinks he can make a difference straight away, or he's auditioning for the Championship next season.

On the Beeb it said he has a history of injury and Tottenham released him in '09 before resigning him in 2011.

Arry has a habit of resigning his players , was it him ?

Don't get me wrong, I'll openly claim he's useless on here, but I'll applaud his every touch at Villa Park. I reckon Lambert will be forced to write him off as utter shite after fewer than 8 games. £10 to Acorns if I'm wrong.

There's a reason he's not even come on for Spurs as a sub in 7 years, and it's because he's shit.

even Jenas use to come on as sub doing a Stephen Hawkings impression.

[hilts_coolerking]

I didn't realise he's 25.  I thought he was 18 or 19.  Shit.

It was pretty amusing that the club tweeted we were expecting a 'promising' player and we end up with a 25 year old. Good luck to him though.

The club tweets are an embarrassment.
