I'd of thought most prem sides would be interested in him if they could negotiate on his wages Everton, won't even have to move house. Will replace Distin who'll be pensionned off somewhere, that's the way it works at the top of the PL, you go somewhere where you fit in and the team is competitive, players want to win believe it or not.

RonManager Posted 24 December, 2012 Share Posted 24 December, 2012 Wages to high i suggest IIRC Man City are not averse to paying a certain amount of loan players wages (can't remember exactly who), so it depends if the Dons Cortese and Mancini can strike a deal in some backstreet trattoria/ristorante (handgun hidden in the toilet cistern to seal the deal Italiano style).

That's true, Brighton are paying 10k of Bridge's 90k pw and they were still paying 100k of Adebayor's wages when they loaned him to Tottenham last season, in fact after he signed permanently City are still subsidising his wages http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19334854 But with the player refusing to accept a big pay-cut, City were forced to accept having to continue to pay the player the difference between his earnings with them and his new wage of around £80,000 in order to complete the deal. On the other hand Lescott is one of the best CBs in the league so would have the pick of the best sides in the PL if he wanted to leave even on loan.

First game next season Gazza will be no 1 whatever league we are in. I'm well aware of who we've brought in but unfortunately neither have completely solved the problem.I wonder how vshort term Boruc is likely to be, three games was it ? This leaves us with good old Kelv, who many believe is simply not the answer in the Premiership.He looked shaky in the early stages of the season, can we really pin our hopes on him for the rest of the season ? You may be right about Gazzaniga next season, but I suspect NA and NC will be more concrned about the next five months at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads only 20, imo he will be a top class goalkeeper in a few years. 20s young for any player but goalkeepers don't usually reach their best until their 30s, the fact he managed to be at least half competent in this league, behind that defence is an achievement in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 (edited) He deserves a chance Like Hammond, Chaplow, Butterfield? He isnt up to he Premier League. We got him to help with goals to get us there after first choice Hooper wouldn't work. Lee was keeping him out the side til he got injured and as a lone frontman wouldnt work at all.

S-Clarke Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 Wouldn't say no to recalling Sharp if I'm honest. Goal scorer is a goal scorer, stick him on when we're chasing a goal and his movement would pull CB's all over the show. His record is second to none, whoever he plays for.

mitch01 Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 Sharp was a great goal poacher for us last season, but didn't contribute that much in open play. I really think he would have struggled badly in this league, he just doesn't have the all-round game or physical attributes required. I am confident that Mayuka and Rodriguez will improve over time.

I guess unless we try him in the PL we will never know - but I have my doubts. The thing with Sharp is that he never got a chance, he looked pretty bright in pre-season and we all assumed he'd be part of the squad - so it was a suprise to most that he didn't even get a crack. I'd have him back for the next 6 months, no harm to be done having another goal scorer in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 Sharp isnt the answer, Lambert is slow and not up for it but atleast he can win a few headers etc Lambert is as good as Sharp at poaching but has more about his game and fits the system better. So... If Lambert isnt working, how the hell will Sharp work ? Just because he is scoring goals doesnt mean he will suddenly do it in the prem, he scored goals last year. We need a decent GK, decent wide man, decent CB and if anything is left look at perhaps a new CF and CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 26 December, 2012 Share Posted 26 December, 2012 (edited) I'm starting to think we are more in need in midfield than defence.
