Just a few quick questions

Jon Parkin rumored to be be coming in on a cut price deal?

Have you heard this?

If you have do you believe it?

What could we expect from him(except the hold the ball up well bit)?

Haven't heared this, if he comes to you, don't expect too much, quite lazy , doesnt hold the ball up well, crap touch, scored one goal for city , was a cracker but lucky lol

Oh great haha that's at least one person that has said the same kind of thing about all 3 we are rumored to be signing haha.

scored twice in once on his debut and in the cup this season both quite good goals as well....

just expect your wages to go up a load but pretty much what Bethell said

Fantastic!! Maybe the wages will be a stumbling block want to send us Don Cowie instead?!

He's got a good footballing mind, but his body isn't a temple. I don't think we at city ever saw him get a run of games to give him a truly accurate review. That's not to say he would have got loads better: system we layer, players we have around him, pace we play it were probably never going to suit Jon.

But if you have a team set up for him to hold the ball up and others to pick up off that he could do well. Also feed The Beast and he will score.

He is on £9,000 a week thanks to the Riddler (Peter Ridsdale) and Dave Jones.

Unless we are willing to cut our losses, I cant see you affording him, but he would do well for you.

I think every team wants him just to shout BEASTTTTTTTTTT at him haha

We are probably quite similar in style of play as yourselves, we play it on the floor and attacking never say die attitude kind of thing free flowing and away from home a lot of counter attack play!

I think he will do well for you, great in the air as he doesnt get bullied because of his size.
Great if you can get someone to play off him.
Didnt get much to see of him to be honest.
Im sure you can easily afford his wages - ie - 50 Big Mac meals a day.

we will give him a bag of quavers and 3 pints of stella a week.

Also just been told he is with a Manchester woman, if true could add a bit more spice to the story hope shes fit

I think at least 90% of cardiff fans agreed that parkin on the cheap was a decent bit of buisness by Dave Jones,cover for Bothroyd and a bit of championship calibre,bullied our centre backs for preston and scored a hat trick against Leeds a few weeks previously.
I wouldnt say hes lazy personally just simply lacks a bit (ok a lot)of skill and flair and will maybe fit into the Bury side better than he did ours.
good luck for the season Bury fan

This is one thing we can't blame on Riddler, as Riddler left in May 2010. We signed Parkin in January 2011.
Although we can blame DJ.

No serious I think he could do a good job for you, he is just not up to Championship standard.

Could be great if true even if its only a loan deal (wages at 9 grand a week will not be had at bury I think our top earner is on a bout £2500 p/w

Was never given a decent run here, Ridiculed by the majority of our fans.Could hold ball up,good in the air,Strong in the box just couldn't run very far or fast thats all mate

Would have thought wages would be a stumbling block for someone like Bury

He likes his food. Bit of a character. Will do well for you IMHO

I think he would be a great signing for you. As mentioned he isn't a fitness freak but at your level he will certainly be a handful.

Think Parkin would do a decent job in your Division just not mobile enough for the Championship but he's decent in the air and got a good touch for a big man and will get you a few goals and give defenders a torrid time.

I would have thought wages would be a big stumbling block but perhaps you could pay him a goal bonus for every goal he scores he gets 5 pies that should swing the deal

He's also hilarious on twitter if thats swings it

He will do alright for you but he puits himself about a bit but isnt box to box

He's also hilarious on twitter if thats swings it

whats his twitter name?
