Purse Snapped Up

Donkey

Bad decision brian, not good enough for cardiff, so why should he be playing for us. Sometimes wonder about you brian.

Don't be so pessimistic guys...... I think it's just what we need at the back. We already have a decent amount of quality there and DP is just the sort of player to bring it all together.

A good squad signing. Experience and all that but he wouldn't get in my first team. Defensively we are strong. What we really need to sort out our goal difference is the ability to score some fecking goals. STRIKER please Brian, and please let him be a GOALSCORER capable of 20 goals a season. Get that kind of player and the playoffs will be guaranteed.

good signing we have been indifferent in defence away from home this season more competition for places can only be a good thing we now need potter to sign and a striker leroy lita is now a free agent maybe worth a look.

hes very reliable.

Sammy Clingan from Norwich you mean SS?

you are all getting so so so carried away. remember you are more than £30m in debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha ha youre in a playoff next week and you still come on here exaggerate our debt by the usual 10m or so and link us to your tripe while linking yourself to one of our players, sort yoursen out moonpig. Anyway decent signing much needed experience at back best home defense and worst away record says it all

The poll on this page indicates where fans think the problems and only 6% think centre back an issue. If we have an area at the back where we lack cover it is left back not centre back(only Tommy is recognised in this position). Purse was waiting to see if MK Dons were promoted and do not think any other championship side was in for him. The other signings will have to improve on this otherwise next season will be similar to present. He was a good player 4 years ago but injury and father time have taken toll. He does give his all but you need more than that to get out of this division.

new to this so be gentle... firstly, darren purse is a good signing. i agree that his best days may be behind him but i doubt that brian has signed him to be first choice centre back. we already have three (four including young Tommy) more than able players in this position, but what we don't have is someone these players can learn from, someone who will command respect and someone who's not afriad to be very very nasty! Yes, our defence has been steadied somewhat since the return of hinds, but at times last season some of our younger defenders just weren't nasty enough. This is hopefully something that a player with the experience of Purse can bring to our side, either on the pitch or under t'big tent down on middlewood road! Also, have we not offered a new contract to Michael Gray, surely he's cover at left back? We all know that midfield is the priority but let's be patient, Brian knows who he wants, but no matter how hard he tries we cant finalise anything until the player himself agrees to the deal, the free transfers we're after will surely be talking to other clubs as well? Just because purse is first through the door, it doesn't mean that other areas are bieng neglected UTO

hopefully he will add a bit of the hard man to our team which I think we have been missing, he's definately not scared to throw himself into a tackle, just hope he doesnt get sent off to much next year

doubt clingan would be available for nowt, joined them on a free last summer, assumin he signed for at least two maybe three years? now millers in would rather see someone who can play out wide (but not a winger) or in the middle, patches o'hoolahan would be a good bet if we can stretch to a few hundred grand, unlikely i know. Ambrose been mentioned, would not say no
