#RAFC Michael Symes on his way on-loan from Bournemouth until end of the season. Ex-Accy player of course. Nice addition. | | | |  |

Thanks. Hillcroft wanted to sign Symes when he left Accy, but he decided to join your lot. It's good to finally get our man, and Coleman has already shown he can get the best out of him.
Obviously everyone know's about the outrageous Tubbs signing, but I've just seen that you've signed Donal McDermott as well. He's a cracking player. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Well chuffed about Symes if he stays fit. Here's hoping we can get him on a perm in the summer. | |

Perm?! Enough of the Scouse jibes! | | | |

Yep were still in shock at the Cherries making an £800k signing! His goals to games played ratio is great so lets hope that continues. McD is a great signing as he was the bollocks last season. Really surprised that HT let him go and for only £175k. Cheaper than Richie would have been from Swindon. Our finall offer was apparently 1.2M!!! Crazy money for a league 2 player. (see he scored tonight though). | | | |

great signing this, much better signings from Coleman than Eyre/beech combined already! | |

McDermott is excellent, by far the bargain of the transfer window for me | |
| The modern pioneer of mealy mouthed bollocks. |

Class act Symes - was gutted when Hillcroft failed to land him.
If this lad can get back to full fitness quickly and we can continue playing football like we did last saturday* there is more than a chink of light for the upcoming relegation scrap.

He'll just have to be reminded that Jonah takes our penalties. Don't want an embarrassing repeat of the Buckets episode. | | | |

so just to clarify - after all that time spent in administration and having a winding up order you're now able to spend £800k on a player? Congratulations on your financial turnaround. | | | |

Things have changed. Lost the whole first team squad at beginning of the season all snapped up by bigger clubs, hence the shit start! (made around 3M in player sales which went on paying debits) Bradbury slowly rebuilt squad and few months back Maxim Denim a Russian millionare bought 50% satke in club. Things are now on the up. Hence 800k for Tubbs! | | | |

I think the only player Bormuf didn't sell this summer was Bradbury himself, matt aint wrong on that score.
Bormufski are the new Chelski.

Another Cherry here - and I'll be popping in from time to time to see how Symesy is doing.
Just to be clear what you are getting - M/S is match fit but not match sharp, he's been playing out of position and is a bit low on confidence. He is a wholhearted player, strong, good feet and decent in the air, though not dominant.
If you can bear with him for 3-4 games, play him as an out an out striker and give him confidence I'm sure he will do really well for you.
Without our new found rouble mine I think we would have stuck with him for the rest of this Season but he has been playing in the hole behind Wes Thomas, who is class and improving all the time. We've bought Tubbs and will no doubt now revert to a 442 rather than a 451. The signing of Donal M means we don't need anyone to now play in the hole at times either. If rumour is correct Cody MacDonald will be coming our way on loan when fit too.
Faced with all that it's no wonder M/S asked for a loan move - he wants to be playing football. Take no notice of the idiots our our main m/b about him being lazy, disinterested etc etc.
I hope you survive this year - or at the very least go down fighting to the wire. Look after Michael and as it seems very unlikely we will offer him a new contract, you could have an excellent permanent signing - especially as he is still a decent age. | | | |

If you're wanting a target man then Symesy isn't your man, if you try and play it to him as if he's a target man you'll be disappointed. But i'm sure John Coleman knows this.
Symesy is a really classy player if teams play to his strengths, and that's the ball to feet. Despite his size he's not great in the air, but get it to his feet and he can link play and really make things happen. His awareness of space, his ability to find space and of those around him is excellent.
Think in terms of a lower league version of Teddy Sheringham.

I remember when Symes was scrapping with Jason Taylor at Accy when they both got red carded. Even in adversity, Flicker's reaction was to try and placate Symes when he went on the field never wanting to upset a potential signing. | | | |
