Major Isewater Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Your post sounds like it comes from a Wendy , ambiguous ’ City have strengthen under Holden. Mawson on a season loan from Fulham, Journeyman Chris Martin from Derby both add experience to the squad as does Nakhi Wells signed from QPR. City have an academy graduate Antoine Semenyo who is looking sharp who scored his debut goal against Exeter in the cup recently - not sure he’ll start tho. Midfield is a worry tho especially with BB coming to town........... Obviously I’m hoping for three points but it’s a tough game to call.‘ You have a man crush on BB ?

The Wednesday fans couldn’t care one iota who signed Wells - point is he’s an experienced and proven Championship striker, Yep, I remember one OTIB poster in particular who argued endlessly that our double winning defensive titan, Aden Flint, was nothing more than a low quality 'head it and kick it merchant' who was unlikely to establish himself at City in L1 and would certainly never be good enough to play for City in the Championship. Having been voted player of the season in our double winning L1 team, Flint went on to further confound this persistent but befuddled critic (who clearly didn't have the superior understanding of the game he so often maintained he had) by rising head and shoulders above the rest to again be voted player of the season in our first season in the Championship. This mere 'head it and kick it merchant', who would never be good enough for the Championship, not only took to the higher level with consummate ease but was then outstanding against the PL forwards of the 2 Manchester clubs, and eventually netted City 7m when sold to another Championship club. I'm not vindictive enough to embarrass that hapless poster further by naming him now, but nothing could back up your point more conclusively that there are indeed some right numpties on OTIB!

I still maintain that Flint is and remains a ‘head it and kick’ merchant, a throw back to a 70s ‘stopper’ and nowhere near the class of Webster for example. Flint has done well financially from his various transfer signing on fees and fair play to the guy given his limited footballing ability. I have absolutely no problem if others consider him to be a talented footballer........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcnick Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Well robbered has given the opinion that Chris Martin is a 'journeyman.' There are a couple of definitions of 'journeyman' but generally it's got slightly negative connotations - 'reliable but not outstanding' being one. I'd say Chris Martin is outstanding and a classy striker. The sort of player who not only scores a decent number of goals but brings the best out of players alongside him. A few people use 'journeyman' to indicate someone has had a lot of clubs but that's an ill informed understanding of the true definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM has had lots of clubs and exactly why he’s a journeyman and if you see that term as negative then that’s your choice. Personally I was delighted when he signed for us.

wendyredredrobin Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I'm thinking that Bannon is the player who usually destroys us, so we need someone to do a job on him.

I have absolutely no problem if others consider him to be a talented footballer........... Oh, it was you, was it? In all our arguments about Flint on here I never once said he was in the class of a player like Webster - that was never part of the argument and neither of us had ever heard of him at the time anyway. The point is Flint was a far better all round player for City - with the obvious potential to improve further from the time of our initial discussions - than you ever been willing to give him credit for. He left AG as a conquering hero to most City fans but you still maintain this dismissive, sour and begrudging stance which has never altered. Even now you refuse to give him the credit and respect he deserves for his outstanding seasons at AG. Let's face it - Flint proved you, his arch critic, completely and demonstrably wrong.
