HSS Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 A debut at Anfield for Harkins!!! No doubt be applauded off the park by the Kop. Whereas here he should have been dragged off the pitch by a Cop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herdo Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hope they never try that with Gowser. That's how I think hes a direct replacement for Goodwin, loves to stick the boot in....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm74 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Might give some credence to the Rooney 'swap' deal. Still not convinced, though. Still wouldn't solve the problem even if it was true, Rooney is only 5ft 10. Never thought I'd say this but we should've kept Parkin if we had no-one else to take pressure off Thommo. It's been obvious he's knackered the last 10-15 mins all season with the shift he puts in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Slightly puzzled as to why some don't seem to want Adam Rooney, if the rumour is true then why would we not take a striker who scored 44 goals in 100 appearances for ICT. I would be delighted if this one comes off, however unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ McG Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Adam Rooney would be a fantastic signing for us but I can't see it, if he comes back to the spl he will end up at hibs with Butcher, they are looking to bring in another striker.

The boy May at the fakes scored a barrel load of goals in the lower leagues, Rooney did the same and made the step up with ICT and continued to score in the Spl. He's a very good player at our level and I would take him in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Bit bemused at how Oldham would even want to take Harkins based on his performances so far this season. The annoying thing is that the guy does have talent, for me he's just lazy and not playing every week means its a vicious circle for him as it strikes me that he is one of those guys that needs regular games or his fitness goes. Good luck to him but he needs to up his game if he wants to play at a decent level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaint Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Going by his twitter account he seems #buzzing to be down at oldham Another guy who always turned it on against us and probably earning decent wages for doing next to nothing - was keen to see what he could do for us when he signed but its been a non starter. Would liked to have seen him doing well for us but it was never going to happen, he seemed more content with fooling about on the touchline and playing crossbar challenge at half time.

Hambud Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hopefully he plays and goes on to score a hat trick helping Oldham on to victory. and then Oldham pay a massive fee for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 27 goals in 78 games at SPL level.27 out of his 44 goals were in the SPL would indicate most of his goals were in SPL albeit he played a lot more games in the SPL. 27 out of 78 isn't actually that bad.

Hambud Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 No you couldn't, Gary's been here for 3 seasons.actually you could, if you were looking at Teales stats for this season. That's the thing with stats they always differ depending on what you want to see. What were Gary Brady's stats like? maybe it's people with the name Gary, they just don't like Danny or playing for Danny? Does anyone that posts on here go by the name of Gary? Do you like Danny? Maybe should do a poll? For what it's worth I don't think you can compare Teale and Harkins as players, one is a hard working athlete who has worked incredibly hard to utilise his main natural talent, mainly his pace to earn himself a fortune, play for his country, play in some of the biggest stadiums in the world and won the League cup with the mighty Saints. The other is a guy who imo has more natural footballing talent than most of us could dream of sadly he can't get by on flicks and tricks (the way older unfitter guys do on a 5's pitch) alone, he doesn't come across as a guy that has had to work hard to get where he is. Skill will only get you so far the other part is desire and I feel that as Harkins had skill in abundance he has managed to get by without needing the desire that could have made him a better footballer.

Comparing starts for a season with total starts with a club is a pretty unfair comparison, don't you agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Comparing starts for a season with total starts with a club is a pretty unfair comparison, don't you agree? Comparing ANY stats is invalid because there are lots of variables which change. This means it's impossible to assign cause to a specific one just by looking at the numbers. What you are doing with Harkins (because you appear to have one agenda after another) is confusing correlation and causation.

FTOF Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Comparing starts for a season with total starts with a club is a pretty unfair comparison, don't you agree? Maybe, if anyone could be arsed taking this any further, a comparison between Teale and Harkin's stats for their first six months with us, might be fairer. I seem to remember that Teale's first season for us was pretty gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
