Holmesy left? Aww what a legend even though he couldnt hit a donkeys *** with a banjo. he was rubbish for us!
Bournemouth have been linked to Jo Kuffour one of the only bright players of Brentfords season. The Ghanian international wants to stay in league one after the bees relegation woe, but has rejected a move to huddersfield. The london based man is thought to be in talks with the cherries and because he is out of contract with the bees he can be taken for free. With Bournemouth's influential striker James Hayter move for a reported 200k, and being that he had the largest contract in the team, Bournemouth could well take Kuffour back to dean court.

He must have improved, no joke he was terrible for us

he has been just as bad for us really.. i've seen him play well twice and that was against accy stanley in the conference (scored an amazing goal) and against port vale at home this season, we were playing awful and brought derek on 2nd half and he changed the game completely and we ended up winning 3-2!

saying that though, he may not have the speed and the usual aspects of a striker, but he is great in the air.

Our only tall striker in the past two years :rolleyes:. Plus, about the only striker who could head a ball. Well apart from Joe Garner. Sad to see him leave and wish him good luck in the future . To be honest, I could see him dropping down a league, like Kev Gray will when he joins Chesterfield.

Carlisle signed Marc Bridge-Wilkinson :8
