"Marquee"? You mean "Big, Big, Money", let's pay someone Big Big Big MONEY (that we haven't got). At least I presume you mean this, as I haven't seen any player called "Marquee". Personally, if we are trying to define what a "marquee" player actually would be (which of course you don't), then I'd say Steve Menzies has more tent-like characteristics than anyone signed by anyone else, it was a stunning move by the Bulls, and there's no-one available whom I'd rather we had signed, but he's just one man, and in your delusion we need 25.

And I said this where exactly?
I never said I wanted any of the above, just that I do not want McNamara. However, perhaps you can show me where I did say as such or else you are making more things up.

You don't want McNamara?
I'm shocked. When have you ever said, or even hinted, at that?

Oh, I spot 'em all mate, here's a flavour:-
Eddie - In His Own Words. Part 1: Uncanny predictions, and a desire to buy everyone:
Quote mystic eddie="In April 2007, mystic eddie"...a deal to sign Luke Rooney is all but done, ...Matt King also strongly linked, ...
... I would be over the moon to have a back line of....
Platt
Luke Rooney
Hape
King
Tupou

Quote mystic eddie="In July 2007, mystic eddie"....we need a centre and halfback cover is a must ...Calderwood, Mogg, Alker and a.n. other will do me
... buying Walker as Centre / 2nd row cover would be good.
However, more pressingly we need to get a Hooker, a winger and some halfback cover
I will take Mogg
I would take Hodgson from Salford on the wing
As for GB centres? I'd take Yeaman
'"
Quote mystic eddie="mystic eddie"You are the one who first mentioned cast offs. It matters not a bit to me where we get our players from.
I would rather we looked to sign Alker up ... Newton and Alker would be an excellent pairing.
I would be happy enough with Godwin, yes. Hopefully that one comes true!
I have no doubt Nero (if he signs) would be an adequate replacement for Ben Harris.
Lyon? (yes please)
It does, however, leave question marks over our supposed signing of Nero.
Halley resigns so does that put the Tadulala rumours to bed?
Where do we play Jeffries if he signs? I really cannot see them demoting Iestyn.
Sykes
nero
Jeffries
Godwin (and Fa'afili)
the possibility of the above is quite realistic, and I, for one, would be delighted with that.
The back line for next season looks sweet at the moment with Platt, Tupou, Hape, Sykes and A N Other (Tadulala?), with Evans and Halley as back up to the side.

Sweet?

| so the gist of that is that at the time mystic was delighted with signings of sykes,godwin,nero and jeffries yet I'm pretty sure he's on record as saying they are all poor mcnamara signings. Bit of consistency would be nice or is 20/20 hindsight only allowed in mystics case?
sadly mystic meg has now turned into a caricature of a himself / a poor troll with his inncesant banging of his little mantra which has no relevance in the off season when there arent even any poor results to base it on

Delighted?
Delighted was a bit strong TBH but I thought the signings would do better than they did. However, I am not paid to make these decisions, the coach is. Either the players were not good enough in the first place or the coach is not getting the best out of decent players.
Hey, we all make mistakes, at least I can hold my hands up and accept it rather than try to blame other influences.
Incidentally FA, trawling back TWO YEARS worth of posts. What an utterly sad and boring individual you must be. And to think you call [ime[/i obsessed.

Ah but his selective posting does not really tell the whole story TBF. After all, the posts he felt the need to highlight are commenting on speculation and links to players we have had over the last couple of years.
After all, this is a discussion board is it not? Therefore the clue is in the title and we can maybe discuss who we would/would not like to see at the club, in response to speculation.
I am hardly demanding we sign ANYONE but FA's "clever" posts try to suggest otherwise.
However, I am touched by his obsession. I will ensure i have a wee look on here in the morning in order to see what he has written this evening as it is not exactly likely that he will be off to any parties later on.....

So, you demand proof -but risk a bet that no-one will provide it!
Called your bluff, mate.
Happy New Year!
