For me Matthew Pennington would be the right guy. Ditch Joe Cole and Pennington as the 5th loanee.
Exactly. I mean he's only on trial and some have written him off already...if he fits the bill, TM will snap him up and he'll have a solid, experienced, versatile defender for the squad.
If he's gash, he'll be sent packing. Simple. Personally, I think Ramage is just the type of defender we're after. Certainly not up to Reda or Turner standards, but he's reliable and experienced.
Well... if he's not a prick he's doing a fine impression of one! (as evidenced on this very thread)
To be fair to the guy, season before last he was part of a team that got promoted from the Championship, and options are thin on the ground. The question is, would he improve the defence that played last game because that's what we're down to.
The trick is to say "you're acting like a prick", then they can't accuse you of calling them a prick.

This was my original post:
''You must be a vastly experienced coach or manager right? Someone superior to the likes of TM right? Otherwise you'd have to be an arrogant prick to make a statement like that.''
As you can see, I didn't actually call him a prick at all, I called him a ''vastly experienced coach or manager''.

'You can be a vastly experienced manager sometimes do you know that!'
I remember that....then he was the Messiah.....then he was a wanker!
He looks ok to me, has experience and has played at a high level....surely good enough even at 32.
You have the right not to look at the forum. And the right not to post. And the right to delete the forum.
Feel free to exercise any or all of them is my advice.

It's a good job you didn't write "If you don't calm down I'll call you an arrogant prick"... because that would have been a threat.
Are you both getting your hot dogs out for this? Because if so I think I'll give it a miss.
I think girls are also put off by crispy sausages too.
I'm quite happy with my cocktail sausages to be honest. My mum can get 4 of them in her mouth at once.
Reading the Barnsley forum, as what they have said about him...Nice bloke, but some wouldn't have him back.

Has a decent enough pedigree but he's not someone who has ever stood out to me as being particularly talented.
Maybe TM just looking for a 6m contract so that we have cover until the end of the year. Doesn't jump out at me as someone who is going to cut it for us in the Championship based on the comments from Barnsley
Come on Otis, that positive way of thinking is way too much for some of the more negative blokes on here!
i cant see the harm in it and does anyone else here see cbs in abundance to choose from, least let TM put him on trial and see its better then not news of a signing at all.
Could well be he's plotting to bring a CB in, but meanwhile has brought Ramage in on trial as a last resort contingency, in case he is unable to do so.
You've used fact in your post. I'm convinced. Thanks.

Don't know anything about the guy but I can imagine some headlines in the newspaper "Ramage does the damage!".
ive never heard of him to be honest but im sure mowbray will do what he thinks best so il leave him to pass judgement !! after all not served us bad so far.
Mogga was a centre back himself if he thinks ramage could do a job for us after a trial then that's good enough for me. It's nice to see common sense being used in the past we would have just signed the player give them a contract without knowing anything about them and eventually have to cancel their contract by mutual consent
