The Poolie Bunker

I heard a rumour that he's off to you lot probably in the Summer. A mate reckons DW see's him as a replacement for Richie Barker. In my opinion, he's a good useful target man, and if he continues to improve as he has been doing lately, he'll be a cracking player.

That's the fella who missed from about half an inch in the closing stages of the derby massacre back in March wasn't it?

I'd almost forgotten how funny that was

The very same

It must be said though, that he really has improved since then. He puts himself about more, and chases everyball down, unsettles defenders etc. He might not be the most skillfull of footballers, but he's effective.

is he fast?

Not particularly, but then again, he's not slow either.

do we need an undisciplined loose cannon on the books

Thats the thing though, he's so much more than that now. Granted, he will always pick up bookings as thats the way he plays his game, but he's not just a loose cannon.

you can keep your league 2 Darlo rubbish thankyou very much young Matt. Although i would love to see him sign for pools just to pi$$ you off!!!!

can you take Barker in return??????

You can't have my Tommy Chrissy

How many players have gone from Darlo to Pools over the last few years?

There's been a few Poolie rejects gone down the A66 but I can't remember too many making the step up to the Vic.

ONLY JUDAS AS THEY CALL HIM

super gabbs

It was a very long time ago - Martin Burleigh

Plenty gone the other way havent they?
Most recently Brackstone

and as they once said we got your best player
the ginger show pony

i thought he was only on loan at darlo from barnsley or some place? i maybe wrong like lol

But we didn't sign him from the loids though, he was training with them at the time when he decided to join us
