    Colin Hawkins

    Is to be released by Coventry in May, dare say there will be a few clubs in for him. I'd like us to sign him but he will probably end up and Pat's, Bohs or Drogs

    This could be related to his injury though. Serious ankle injury supposedly

    Given our apparent budget expansion, you can add Cork City to the list - of all the pro clubs we probably need a centre back most. Not sure he's the answer but clean slates and all that...

    Is that now every one of the players who left the eL this time last year back, with the exception of David Forde (twice farmed out on loan as he's not getting his game at Cardiff) and Gary Dicker (starring as Stockport equal a Football League win record and have promotion in their sights)?

    What a difference a year makes...

    Hawkins is muck, and has always been overrated. But having gone out with his neighbour a few years back i can exclusively reveal that he/his family owns Shetland ponies.

    Theres your scoop.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Alan Bennett is still over there, made a good few appearances for Soton and was very highly rated by their fans, also not all the players that went over failed either.

    I saw him in the Jacuzzi after I had finished with the gym.

    I asked him why he was here and he just said he was over to see someone.

    I presume he was chatting to Kenny.

    It was a JJB gym so if he was a member in england he's aloud to use his membership anywhere, so it wouldn't be that surprising to see him there.

    Rubbish. Hawkins was one of the best centre halves in the league. Maybe only behind Bennett

    One thing that I've noticed about Hawkins is that he gives away a lot of free kicks in dangerous areas. However he seems to be carrying a knock whenever I see him play.
    I do still reckon he'd be a good signing for anyone in the league though.

    Rubbish. Hawkins only plays to his ability when he's looking for a contract.

    Ten appearances in four months? He's also so highly rated, they let him go and he's now at Brentford, in Division Three. But that does count as still being over there, I suppose! Forgot about him.

    Which players went over and succeeded, do you reckon?

    Never heard of him.

    In my defence, I was thinking of the wave of players who left before the 2007 season, in the sudden upsurge of eL interest after the excellent European runs that year - Pat Kavanagh, Gary Dicker, Jason Byrne, David Forde, Danny Murphy, Trevor Molloy, Paul Keegan, Colin Hawkins, George O'Callaghan, even Stephen Kenny. O'Donovan left in August '07.

    He's with Partick Thistle in Division One apparently; usually on the bench though. Good spot.

    Alan Bennett made a mistake on his debut, didn't get a look in for ages then when he finally did he was brilliant, the fans loved him, he was voted onto the Championship team of the week as well. Reading ended the loan despite Soton's best efforts to keep him because of the African Nations Cup but never gave him a chance. The reason he is at Brentford is because Coppell used to manage there and it is a favour to his old club.

    The like's of Georgie didn't fail either, The Ipswich fans rated him but he had a slight falling out with Magilton over an injury. He then went to Brighton where he started every game and ran the show. When George realised he couldn't be get a real chance at Ipswich, he refused to extend his loan and came home because he wants to be loved(the mans own words).

    Danny Murphy started nearly every game last season since signoing for Motherwell, hegot MOTM against Celtic at Parkhead as well. Malpas was sacked and a new manager came in and had his own idea's. before Danny had even met the guy his squad number was taken off him. Danny sat on the bench for weeks before getting a loan move to Dunfermline where he was outstanding once again. As soon as Danny heard of City's interest hewanted to come home. There were offers from Swindon and Leeds(according to himself) but Danny wanted to come home.

    How do you fail cross channel, if there are offers to keep you there but you choose to come home, is that failing?
