we have some idiots in our ranks dont we?
My good god they seriously dont have a brain cell between them do they.

Let me lay down the facts

we have an injury crisis.
We need better strikers
we dont have much money
turner obviously thinks this kid can do a job
we have nothing to judge the lad on

yet some people still have the gall to claim he is not what we are looking for. Lets give the lad 90 mins and then we have something to form opinions on. Until then lets just say at least we are trying to improve the team

Mackay is simply not good enough to play in the football league, he came from pretty much a pub team ffs! And he's too old to be considered a player with potential.

Looking at the posts on this kid its gonna be very difficult for him to succeed cos its clear that the level of expectation at the club is massive and it'd be unfair to ask him to carry that on his own.. the management team we have in place at the minute feel he has something to offer and whilst he's not quite the name a lot of people were lookin for lets not write the lad off before he's kicked a ball... Turner may have gotten it wrong.. but then again he might have found Watfords very own James Brown.. lets see who else follows him in cos for me this season wont be turned around by one signing alone.. no matter who that is!!

'not the answer', 'untried', 'not convinced'

well done lads, write the player off before he's pulled on a pools shirt.

No one is writing the player off, just suggesting he's not what we need at this moment in time

i'm sure you'll chase him like you tried to do with all those other no-marks who've never done anything after leaving pools like steve howard and jon daly.

I have NEVER tried nor will ever try to chase any Pools player by hounding or otherwise as some fans do - I dont agree with it but then paying punters are entitled to voice their feelings

none of you have ever been involved with bringing players into a club of any sort, so how the fook do you know what's being done behind the scenes.

In your works how the fook do you know what any of us have done in the past?

your simplistic ramblings about 'experienced players', 'rose-tinted brigade' etc. are pathetic and utterly pointless. he's here, he's going to be starting most games, so do him and us a fookin favour, remove your 'shiit-smeared glasses' and stop embarrassing yourselves and the club.'pools's supporters' ? my arse refred

If any of the above are pointless then so are all the other views expressed on this and any other board - and are also embarassing to the club- I have supported Pools for over 40 years and will continue to do so and contimue to have an opionion if the club does something I see as good I will say so but wont just join the bandwagon and say well if Pools have signed him it must be the right decision and he must be good sorry, I'm being realistic as I said before how many of you on here criticise Ally Brownlee because of his rose tinted spectacles -I suggest you take your own off before looking in the mirror

that ramble doesn't even come close to countering anything i said, so why even bother quoting my post.

'over forty years', 'paying punters opinions', 'not what we need'

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz yawn1

I would suggest you take off those rose tinted specs and read it again

OK, I will give you honesty. I will type it slowly in the hope it goes into your skull a bit easier.

I am not over the moon, doing handstands or cracking one out over this Henderson lad because it's highly unlikely that he will be the next Dixie Dean. However, he is a young player with experience in the Championship (thats the division above us where better players ply their trade) and is highly thought of. Its not a formula that means he will score 15 goals in the next three months but its an improvement having seen the performance of Foley and Mackay on Monday night.

We average about 4000 supporters, which is one of the lowest in the division and have owners who couldn't be in a more turbulent industry if they tried and are suffering the effects of the global credit crisis more than anyone. As a result of this, we are not in a position to pick and chose the players that we can buy. It is also unheard of for teams to sell or loan out players in January, especially if they are established goalscorers and even more especially if the team wanting him don't have money to compensate the club for his services.

As a result of this, there are only a limited number of players available to us. One option is to approach teams in higher divisions (examples include Manchester United, Liverpool and WATFORD) and see if they have any players available who can gain some experience by playing for a smaller club for a short period. In this instance, Watford have a player available who hasn't quite established himself in the division above but is highly thought of and the management feel that with a few games under his belt and a bit of a confidence boost by playing against players of a lower pedigree that he could be a useful asset for both clubs.

Admittedly it would be great if Pools could sign a player who scores 20 goals a season, pick him up on a free and pay him 400 quid a week. Sadly in the real world (thats where MOST of the people who have wrote on this thread live) its not that easy and the option listed above is one that we have to use.

Sweet Jesus you really are on another planet.

What can't you get into your head, read back through this thread and tell me at any point were anyone has said they are over the moon or delighted about this signing? The most people have said is they will watch the lad and give him a chance. I have asked you this on a few occasions and you have failed to answer.

As for questioning peoples honesty stpid

Because he scored 40+ goals in a season for Consett, which sounds very impressive… But isn’t really when you get to this level. I assume Pools thought he was worth a go, which is all well and good, but he shouldn’t have been given more than a years contract imo.

Jesus, we gave him ago, turns out hes not good enough. The club did it right with Mackay, got him in when we wernt desprate and slowly brought him on to try and develop him. He cost next to nothing for a league club and was worth a punt. Hasnt become what we wanted so we need to look else where.

Spiff · **Posted:** Thu Jan 15, 2009 2:39 pm

No, I'm sorry, simply unacceptable. We need someone who can guarantee 20 goals a season as a minimum.

There are so many to choose from, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, the management must be blind.

It's such a simple approach, wait until someone proves they can score the requisite number of goals at a level at least equal to ours & approach their club saying "We'd like him now please. For free."

There must be so many clubs out there who would accommodate us, it's tantamount to negligence that the club haven't sorted this already.

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVENT SEEN HIM

I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT PLAYERS ARE BEING SOLD OR LOANED OUT IF YOU CHECK THE PAPERS OR THE TV - WINDASS AND KYLE COME TO MIND AMONGST NUMEROUS OTHERS

IS HE GOING TO GET A CONFIDENCE BOOST IN A TEAM BATTLING AGAINST RELEGATION, THAT IS SHORT OF CONFIDENCE WITH THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE FANS ON HIS SHOULDERS ESPECIALLY AS A STRIKER I VERY MUCH DOUBT I

Admittedly it would be great if Pools could sign a player who scores 20 goals a season, pick him up on a free and pay him 400 quid a week.

AGREE

Sadly in the real world (thats where MOST of the people who have wrote on this thread live) its not that easy and the option listed above is one that we have to use.

I AM IN THE REAL WORLD AND WITH A SIGNING LIKE THIS, IF ITS THE BEST WE CAN DO, IT WILL UNFORTUNATELY NOT BE GOOD ENOUUGH TO KEEP US UP THIS SEASON - I HOPE I'M PROVED WRONG

I'm not entirely sure you know your arse from your elbow so I'm not responding to all that crap you just wrote.

However:

'I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT PLAYERS ARE BEING SOLD OR LOANED OUT IF YOU CHECK THE PAPERS OR THE TV - WINDASS AND KYLE COME TO MIND AMONGST NUMEROUS OTHERS'

So far you have suggested three players; Kevin Kyle, Dean Windass and Richie Barker.

Two of them have already played at this level for this club and weren't good enough. The other play we nearly signed before he fcked us off, probably because the other club could offer more money to his current club.

So what do we do after this (and please take this is as it's quite important)...WE....LOOK....FOR....YOUNG....LOAN....PLAYERS....FROM....HIGHER....DIVBASTARDISIONS

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Thu Jan 15, 2009 2:59 pm

FFS, you have know idea what sort of signing this is as you've never seen him play!!

It seems he's well thought of Watford and Pools obviously know of him and think highly of him, I'd actually rather we went for a lad with a bit of hunger than an overpaid lazy tosser like Kevin Kyle who give his all when he could be arsed. Who is this team 'battling against relegation' you speak of by the way?

More negative diatribe....

YES IN RELATION TO POOLS BUT YOU MADE A GENERAL STATEMENT ABOUT PLAYERS NOT BEING SOLD OR LOANED OUT - READ WHAT YOU PUT AGAIN - ARSE FROM ELBOW INDEED

KYLE SCORED GOALS AND THOUGH NOT EVERYONES CUP OF TEA ID RATHER HAVE HIM THAN SOME KID, BARKER NOT GOOD ENOUGH DONT TELL ME HE COULDNT HAVE DONE A JOD TO THE END OF THE SEASON SO THERE MUST BE OTHER OPTIONS

Some good comments but if you read on the possible signing thread and the links on there you'll also find mixed views from people who have seen him play.

'more of a link up player than a fox in the box'

'Henderson has never impresed me when ive seen him play'

'Liam Henderson has hardly been prolific in Acadmey and Reserve level though'

so as always everyone has their own views

Im the first to congratulate turner for bolstering the squad but sorry to upset a few people on here but this untried kid isn' the answer. We need someone for now not the future, you dont throw an untried youngster into a team lacking in confidence and facing a relegation dogfight, especially a forward who is expected to score goals - we could have done that with Tymon. Turner says ' well have a look at him' sorry we havent the time to spend 3 month and salary to look at someone for the future which is as it sounds, which is what I guess Watford see him as, if not then they dont think hes that good judging by his first team opportunities at Watford Ok he did 3 in 3 on loan to a Ryeman league team (I think) but Mackay did ok non league didn't he. I'm not convinced and hope Im wrong and will give the kid every support as I do every Pools player wearing the shirt and I hope he can come here and do a Duffy but I just cant see it.

Hes costing us salalry, ok probably not much, for 3 months but surely that could have been better spent on bring someone with some decent league experience and goals behind them.

Guess I'll get shot down by all the rose tinted spectacle crew out there, (who are the fist to call Brownlee for see everything in hues of red) I know some of you see it more like I do and credit to them for being realistic and going public on here with their vieew but for everyone else sorry guys this isnt the second coming and doesnt excite me that much - lets hope Turner next 2 singings offer a little more.

In another post, I said you had an unhealthy obsession with finding fault with the club, .......... and so it continues.

No, if we win we will be in the top half of the table, that is a fact. If our form doesn't improve on our current run of 1 win in 11 we will be dragged into trouble also a fact. Tomorrow is a big game though, any suggestions if we lose? Mass suicide perhaps...

I was under the impression that Henderson was the very first part of Turners league survival plan, the way Reef is reacting thats the shopping list done and dusted with no one else left to join,

With the current crop of injuries and our lack luster performance in front of goal on Monday CT has gone for the most important area first and I am fairly happy with who we have ended up with.

I hope the lad plays a blinder tomorrow, get a debut goal or 2 and goes on to become a legend for whatever team he ends up at long term, welcome Liam nice to have you back again.

I was particulalry a Kyle fan but Id rather have him in the ranks than a rookie striker, Windass - Turner though he was a realistic target but couldnt attract him, even Richie Barker could have done a job given the mess we are in till the end of the season. Bishop is available and couldnt we use some of the cup money to help make a purchase - there are probably loads more but then I'm not a manager or a scout and not paid to know whats available.

Bluemonkey - I hope he has a blinder tomorrow, assuming he plays, I'd settle for 1 goal as Im not greedy and I welcome him to the club too - a legend would be nice as well

OK I'll spell it out - its really SO bad at the moment with only 1 win in eleven we can improve quite a bit and still be in trouble

Well seen as we need at most 7 wins from 22 to almost guarantee survival 4 wins from 11 wouldn't be a bad at all start, bearing in mind you are also going to pick the odd draw. To suggest we are currently deep in the relegation mire quite simply isn't true. We are in a similar position to last season when we were never seriously threatened with the drop. Our form needs to improve but not drastically, as I said tomorrow is a big game that could put us 10 points clear of 4th bottom.

Strap up!!! We seem to have been down this road before, why would he be any better than the young uns we already have?.Desperate and an insult to our intelligence. Thought at first it was Darius Henderson, silly me!
