Gareth Raynor has been released by Hull and considering our lack on wingers is he worth a punt? he might be a bit of a croc and getting on a bit, but if fit he would bring some welcome competition and probably on the cheap

I'd rather we sign Claire Raynor

I don't really rate him that much, but he's head and shoulders above Sheriffe, so he would be an improvement on what we currently have.

Has he got over that business with the knock off ink cartridges?

I'd take a punt on him if he's fit, quality winger at his best. Probably more likely to go somewhere like Crusaders who are desperate for players I would imagine?

Worth a go if we can get him cheap enough IMO. A bit of competition on the wings definately wouldn't go amiss!!

No, I think he's due in court in April over it, which is why signing him now might be a bad idea.

Yeah, the dodgy ink thing is probably why Hull have got shut

From a playing point of view only, I would welcome his addition.
If the club are confident of the "other stuff" not being an issue, then I'd hope we'd certainly think about it

I would have thought if there was a confidence about that though, Hull wouldn't have gotten rid. They obviously seem to think he's in bother.

I completely agree with you though. If it was a purely playing point of view, he would improve our team. Unfortunately, it's not.

thing is if he gets cleared in april then he'll be able to demand a higher wage. might be worth getting him now on a cheaper 1 year deal and write it into contract that if found guilty contract is void. We get an extra option on wing for a few months for little money and no strings attached.

Well yeah, as a player he'd be an improvement on what we have, but his current baggage (i'm not saying it was all her fault mind

) does cause a 2nd thoughts

Always rated Raynor so I think he is worth a look, excellent cover if nothing else.

Whats the score with the Ink Cartridges

We'll talking Leroy Rivett, the way its going

Better than Sheriffe.



Ok, maybe that's taking it a bit too far.....

Take a look [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/dec/18/gareth-raynor-hull-fcHERE[/url

I don't rate him much better than Sheriffe to be honest. Well past his best and would come with significant baggage also it would seem.

Not a player I`ve ever really rated that highly. Don`t think he played much last year did he? Maybe that`

Not a player I`ve ever really rated [ithat[/i highly. Don`t think he played much last year did he? Maybe that`s why he`s on his way?

He's on his way because of the court case, I don't think there's much doubting that.

He played in 14 matches for Hull last year, but I think the only reason he didn't play in the others was injury.

The injury bit was really the main reason why I wouldn`t be too interested. I think Morro played in more than that (?) and that`s why (allegedly) he left the Bulls.

raynor ex gb international, sheriffe?????

if raynor didn't have any off field problems or injuries he would walk into most starting line ups. it is his off field issues why we have let him go

Yes -I think he could do a job for us. Pretty decent winger and IMO a little better than Sheriffe.
Yes - Injury was a problem last year but not I hear a repetative one.
No- Don't know the extent of his involvement in alleged criminal proceedings and his risk of a custodial sentance.
Yes- we could probably sign him reasonably cheap with provisos on his fitness and availability.
No- I dont think we will sign him. He adds little to the squad.

Except it's nearly 2010... not 2005. We could do with a centre too, but I don't think we should offer Gary Connolly a contract either.

I'd be quite peeved if Bradford signed Raynor, too much baggage and bound to have an unsettling influence at a time when all seems rather positive. Needed like a second ar$ehole IMO.
