MATTBCFC Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 , geeze we don't want league 1 or 2 players we want champ/prem players ... I have to agree, wouldn't be the exciting signing I am waiting for. Prem and foreign players of a high quality, not just promoted from League 2.

bristolcitysweden Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 , geeze we don't want league 1 or 2 players we want champ/prem players ... He is a prem player in coming and can cut it. Why pay rediculous money for players who are already there. Face it; it will never happen unless they come from an European top league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red-or-dead Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 , geeze we don't want league 1 or 2 players we want champ/prem players ... I agree with your thoughts, But don't dismiss all lower league players. There are still a lot of quality to find in leagues 1 & 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubStixx Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 , geeze we don't want league 1 or 2 players we want champ/prem players ... Agree to some extent. But it doesn't matter what level they come from, as long as they can compete at champ/prem level. I'd prefer to take players from outside the prem who have a burning desire to get there.

Puckle_red Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 You say that but Johnson gets the best out of league 1 and 2 players look at Jamie McCoombe unheard of when we signed him now the guys a legend for us .... Sorry to change the subject but, since when has Jamie McCombe been a legend? I think hes a decent defender until hes put under pressure then hes pretty average at best. I think hes clumsy too. Back onto the subject, Lloyd Dyer is a league one player at a push, very average and from what I've seen of him (which is limited) he has a poor attitude. Sproule over Dyer EVERY day of the week. I feel quite sorry for Sproule, he had a poor final month or so, but hes a good player at this level, a little bit more composure would make him and very good player.

He wins everything in the air and is always a handfull at set pieces. We certainly missed him at Wembley All of our promotion winning team in my eyes have legend status for what they achieved for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 ok let take a risk get a kid in from a league 2 team or a proven goal scorere at our lvl ..hum i wonder if alex ferguson is reading this ..perhaps he may go for a league 1 player to replace ronaldo ...geeze its common sense...if you belive we will get promoted with league 1 player then good luck i don't think we will.

This is such a bizarre mentality to my mind. Where did Ronaldo come from? He wasn't a proven Premier League player, or a proven Spanish league player - he was a player rated lower than Ricardo Quaresma for example, Simao Sabrosa, and many other players in the portuguese league at the time he was bought, albeit with significant potential. Common sense would say to me that you pick the best players who will fit into your team, irrespective of their current club. This lack of imagination and comprehension of the idea of "potential", or "hidden gems", holds a danger of making quality players less likely to come, as posts start abusing them before they arrive because they're not Patrik Berger. Believe in the manager and that when he does make a mistake and buy an unsuitable player, he will recognise it and take steps to rectify (Betsy, Byfield etc).

samo Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 lack of imagination BANG! That is the sound of the nail being hit firmly on the head regards many of the down-right stupid things people come up with R.E. transfers on here. "I've never heard of them so they are rubbish" is basically what people are saying Totally ignorant. Had they heard of David Noble before we signed him? How about Jamie McCombe? Adriano Basso? Marvin Elliot? Well? Some people need to realise that the footballing world is bigger than the little bit that Sky Sports deems worthy of showing.

BITW Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Never rule out players from lower leagues. Rest assure a few of them will be stars one day. As for Lloyd Dyer from my (i admit, limited) knowledge of him, he certainly wouldnt excite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh_red Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Some people on here seem to be getting some SERIOUS big time charlie attitudes, the fact is we missed out on promotion and now we are back to square one. We should ALWAYS look at getting players from League 1/2/Non League if they look to have the ability to progress to better players, just because they are not a fashionable name from a flash club doesn't mean they aren't good enough. People mocked and hammered City for "lack of ambition" when we signed players from Boston and Lincoln City, but they did/have done good enough jobs considering how much we paid and where they came from. back to Dyer though, would be a no from me.......he's more of a left winger an area I wouldn't be looking to improve other than with a younger player.
