Morning All I have the misfortune of living and working in Bluntland, and 2 seperate blunt fans have advised me we'll be signing Montgomery from them today for £500k!! I do hope their pints of Stones' have been severely spiked and they're well wide of the mark.
Would he get into our midfield? 500k is a lot (for us!) to spend on a squad player, or is he good enough to nail down a first team place??
Would have thought Michael Brown would make him redundant, though I guess Montgomery would be OK for back-up (let's remember here that at 34, Brown might not be capable of playing the whole season, that we will need decent squad-rotation as shown by the Tuesday night debacle last season and that we're really thin in midfield if we get even a single injury or suspension). So I guess it would have my approval. Probably just bullshit from a Blunts forum that your mates have read and taken for gospel though; it shocks me how many people believe everything they read on the internet.
If we're going to spend money spend it on Clingan . Other than that Montgomery would be fine as back-up.
**** HIM he chose Sheffied Untidy because they had more promise hahaha same as that bogdanovic the ****ers can rot in league one
Would you like to see him join Leeds?? - being linked with a move AGAIN!! http://www.thescratchingshed.com/2011/08/montgomery-the-finishing-touch-to-graysons-squad/ I'm not sure........last summer he was available on a free and said if Leeds wanted him he would walk to Leeds - but decided not to join (perhaps because of the wage structure)?? Would be good to have another central midfielder for the 4-2-3-1 system but I would like to see Clayton given a chance, but we do need a backup.
He's a decent player, and we need another to challenge Clayton and Brown in the centre. I doubt Sheffield will hold out for £500k, no-one's going to pay that. £200k would be more realistic, maybe even less.
**** him....he stayed with the blunts for more money last season when he had the chance to come to us.... so called Leeds fan...rubbish..let him enjoy league 1....he is crap anyway.. neve rget in our first 11 not quality at all ....
I am more against the fee than the player, hell we have signed enough garbage on freebie status before and you can cope with it because they were free but 1/2 million come on... Would be typical if we did splash the cash on a player not many of us have a good word to say about and would also make a mockery of losing out in wages to some of the loan dealings.
