Tony Craig - Confirmed Signing till June 2015

[beebopalula]

Maybe its time for legge to move on if he aint going to play, alot of supporters seem to have there first choices before the seasons already started, maybe a fredh move could be good or if you look at it another way competition could also bring the best out in a player. Hoping the latter, he's been a good servant to this club but alot of us wanna say goodbye to him and all of a sudden hes not good enough. He seems the type a player who you'd rather have on your team than against. Hope to see him at gp for few more seasons

Uwe picked teams for specific games last season and he'll do the same again. I expect Legge to feature if we need a couple of heavies at CB.

Don't see any reason for him to leave as I believe he signed a new contract last season. There will be games where his style of defending will be required however would be surprised if he was first choice. He will need to develop his ball control if he wants to play week in and out but feel sure that he will be in the first team squad each week, probably on the bench

[unbeelievable13]

Surely he wont that though? I know he signed a new contract last year but look what happened with pim, must f been a reason to put him on a new deal. You wouldnt sign him to be on the bench and if he knew that im sure he wouldnt either. I dont think we saw the best of him last season due to injurys and changes in the defence but i hope he gets back to how we know he can play. Ruthless defending, sometimes you need that, defending is about lean sheets and midfielders and attackers go and score the goals!

Hope he wont go, and can see no reason for him to do so..........at this stage. He will have a job to do dependent on the opposition, I am sure.

Tong Craig and the tranvestites ?

Sounds like we've come out best on the deal, the Wall fans aren't happy with Osborne's pre-season performances.

Different bloke......they have an Osbourne

[Bigbee]

Ok , so a few games in , what the verdict so far ? Some one at Basingstoke said he couldnt jump , not a great attribute for a centre back !

Tell you after tomorrow at Wycombe, assuming he plays

Despite the forum thread I have heard KO has done OK so far down in South East London

Only saw him against Hayes & Yeading.... his first Bees outing.....looked steady as a defender played it very simply when in possession. Didn't show much inclination to bring it out of the bavk four or spray 40 yard passed over the pitch but it was his first game. Sure others are in a much better position to add informed comment.

If its true from other thread we paid 150k for him, Millwall have certainly got the better deal, rather we spend 150k on a forward then a defender. I was a big Karleigh fan so I'm bias in judgement. I hope he is the leader we need to take us that extra step, but I also hope he isn't a Mackie.

Against Basingstoke I don't think he played 1 long ball except when under loads of pressure. He seems a lot more 'football' minded with his play than Osbore and Legge who often play it long.

Millwall fans were gutted to a man when he left so i think you shouldn't worry.

[jlove]

It is interesting that our two new close-season signings so far, which you have to assume are ones we targeted and closed in on, are both more mature players that have the respect of their clubs' fans and are seen as motivational. With all the others young, it seems like good team building to me.

Lets hope your right Nick.

If Craig or Harle are injured, Leon is our other centre back. Also if i'm honest I fully expect Leon to push them for a place in the team and if i'm honest whilst Harle and Craig maybe Uwe first choice at present, i'm not convinced that either of them are better then Leon.

Based on last nights game thought Craig looked good along with Harle when Leon came on I thought he was ok but has not got the all round ability of those 2 IMHO

Totally agree. I think both Harley and legge will become better players playing along side Craig. He looks a very good signing.
