Merrick's Marvels Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 9 minutes ago, AppyDAZE said: True but you have Rob Newman in there. Didn't play much in the second tier for us, did he? Now I'm checking my memory. All about opinions, but i'd have Taylor and he did play at the highest level too. I loved Shaun, proper character too My mistake, Biff played in the 2nd tier for a bit with us. Newman captained an excellent City team to finish 9th in tier 2. His quality was obvious which is why a Premiership team immediately bought him - a team he went on to lead out in European games at Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. They don't make 'em like that round here too often which is why Newman stands head and shoulders above most players, never mind defenders, to have played for City since we left the top tier and, quite possibly, ever.

Premier league quality. Caulker was probably the most natural defender I had seen for city and these 2 are a class above imo. Premier league quality? As good as they are at championship level there is a reason why kalas is never picked up by prem clubs on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to suspect we won’t spend £6m plus on a CB when we sold one to a club in this division last summer for that, will likely sell one for higher than that this summer, and are liable for more than that on Webster. I personally think Kalas will be our record signing in a few months time. What often gets ignored by posters is that you don’t buy a player to then release on a free. Yes his transfer fee might be £Xm, but we’d be expecting to sell him for £Ym though. I’d say with Kalas Y is bigger than X; he’s an investment and SL knows risk/reward better than anyone on this forum. Look at Tomlin - we didn’t even lose out the transfer fee on that joke of a player who kept us up, flogged him, and he’s now at Peterborough turning up at the mem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average championship sides? What like Ipswich and Webster, or any of our competitors with Kalas on loan; do you expect we aren't contributing already a large proportion of his wages, if not all taking into account a loan fee? Or taking Baker from Villa - who you mention, or Wright from Preston, a very average CHAMPIONSHIP team? Where are we being blown out of the water? C'mon man, you are being very disingenuous. So disingenuous it's almost not for a response. Many of us are often wrong, I think you need to accept we HAVE spent on defence; fees and wages, if we don't keep Kalas the most realistic reason will be he chose not to stay not we didn't offer suffiicent.
