Excellent news.

Well done to Pools and Kyle for coming back - I doubt he will be eligible for the cup though.

Good news.

Yeah, does suggest that its not 100% official doesn't it

I wouldn't imagine we'll get him for the cup but would be great if we could.

Maybe Wilson give the mail an exclusive?

I seen Wilson outside pools this morning limping into the office, maybe the mail said give us this story first or I'll kick yer!

Glad he is back but in a way would have rather seen the wages go on a keeper and full back.

what? And leave us with only foley and mackay as back up? There is no guarantee that a def or gk would stop the rot. But having kk here almost guarantees we have one of the best strikeforces in the division.

Were scoring enough without him. In fact didnt we only score 2 times in his last 3 games?

No guarentee that a def or gk would stop the rot? Our problem is simple. We concede too many so as long as they were better than what we have (lets face it they couldnt be any worse) then it would only help. I like Kyle but if you seriously think that signing a striker is more important than sorting our defence then you have problems.

Oh thats ok then. We concede 3 but Joel played well

Christ.

I'm going to have to agree with the other tree here and say the defence is definitely priority!!

Anyone with any sense can see that mate but those two lack the aforementioned article.

Im assuming because of the money were forking out for Kyles wages that we cant bring anyone else in? Its the only logical reason that the defence and gk situation hasnt been rectified yet? The only other option is that Wilson is a clueless fucker and thinks they are good enough.


Ok thats probably the reason.

A somewhat refreshing change to you calling him a 'lovely lovely person'.

Variety is the spice of life.

back to the original point - if you're trying to sell yourself as a striker, you need to play in a team that creates and scores goals. He could have gone to many "bigger" clubs in our division but how many chances would he get in a game? From his point of view he sees plenty of the ball playing for Pools, and he knows how the team operates going forward and what to expect from his team mates. There's no point in him starting again elsewhere from scratch getting to know new team mates - he'll just slot straight back in from game one of this second loan period and hopefully make another big impact for us. He's been great at the Vic so far, not so great away from home, but hopefully that will change at Leeds!!!

Yes we need a new keeper and at least one full back in, but there's no doubting Pools' firepower at the moment. Signings in those other two positions and we're a side capable of challenging for the play-offs easily.

He is still a clueless 'lovely lovely person' aswell.

hang on a minute all i said was We know what kyle is capable of. Any defender is unproven to us therefore it cant guarantee an improvement. Kyle gives us fantastic strength and depth up front. And look at our record since kyle (and clark) got into the team. It shows we are capable of challenging for a playoff spot

Well said Chippy, talking sense as always.

We have been assuming this since last season ended though and still no signs

Nowt on official site yet. I reckon SMS subscribers should refuse to be charged.

Humphreys will get Wilson if that's the case......................he's more dangerous than escape goat for getting away with murder................. he has the chairman's ear, as well as the ears of all his victims.

Has he signed or what!

Hallelujah, bro'

Something must have gone wrong . . .

Maybe they're going for the full transfer in the window instead of a long term loan??

Cue hoots of derision but has anyone else got a positive answer??

is there anyhting on Coventrys official site?

All seems very odd.

Hartlepool Fail leaking out 'fake' stories to stir it up...are they allowed in the ground yet?

Kyle's re-arrival has just been announced on Tyne Tees tonight. The plot thickens!

We were scoring plenty of goals before Kyle arrived and we've scored plenty of goals when he was here. We've also scored plenty since he's gone again so no issue there then.

During all of that time we have shipped goals hand over fist, most of them coming from the left back side. Get a left back and a goalie FFS! Neither are up to the job.

Not going to happen though, I suspect that Humphreys has some compromising photos of Russ Green or Ken Hodcroft.

Agreed wholeheartidly. I said same on page 1 but some mug lamblasted me because that would leave us with only Foley and Mckay as back up

so say Brown or Porter get a bad injury, would we be fucked or not?

course we would.

if Ritchie gets injured or ALB? would we be fucked? No! because we can't get worse than what we already have

Fair point!

...and they are in negotiations regarding the FA Cup and his eligibility for that. Lets hope we get him for Tuesday as well

Yeah, that'll teach him

Unless the rules have changed then you have to have the player registered 7 days before the original cup tie. That was the problem with Steven Turnbull when Bury played him in their replay a couple of years back.
