internetjef Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 If we had deals done for both for the same transfer fee, but could only sign one, which one would you sign up Meteb (25) - internationally proven fox in the box with great potential, and also potential commercial benefits. Possibly culture/language risk though or Misfud (27) - lightning quick and wasn too long ago he was being banded around for 5 mill after cov did man u in the cup. Knows where the goal and proven at this level, but lost form dramtically in 2nd half of last season (albeit largely played out of position) what dya reckon?

'Orns Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Mifsud - proven at this level. As I've just put on the other Meteb thread I think it's time for us to pull out with pride still intact (ish!) and get in someone who wants to play for us. If Mifsud is that man all well and good.

And if Mifsud is not that man and decides to go to sh1tty Palace or Norwich 'run by a slag' City, then we are left with the same non goal scoring strike force as last season minus our top goal scorer and another cover striker.

Mifsud is proven at this level, he would be a good buy at the right price. If Palace & Norwich are interested though I think wages could be a problem, and Palace offer him the chance to live in London, which I would think is a big pull for players. Can't say that I was ever that excited about Meteb, although I don't know anything about him other than I've read on here and seen on youtube over the last couple of weeks (feels like months though!). Just glad that I'm not GJ right now, still plenty of time to go but pre season is well underway and would be nice to get someone in sharpish. If Meteb was his first choice, and it sounds like he was, then a lot of time has been (potentially) wasted. Ah well, I'm off to bed, maybe this is just a bad dream!

The only thing Mifsud has proved in the Championship is that he's hardly any better than a player we've just released. For all the hype around his early cup games he scored 10 league goals in a full season (34 starts + 7 sub), Byfield scored 8 in 17+16. Maynard, Garner and Tyson would all be higher on my list than Mifsud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, why would he go to Palace with Jordan and so on, and why would ANYONE want to live in London ? It is very difficult to play up front in a knife proof vest !

Pride has been messed with as he's played for Al Ahly after it was announced he'd signed for us! Can't remember that happening to many times, and it's a tad embarassing for the club! Why do I think he doesn't want to play for us? Because he's played for Al Ahly after he was pictured holding a City up. Can't really make it much clearer than that mate!

westy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Has to be Misfud now - unfortunately meteb has triggered a problem before he's started, how can we trust him not to do what he wants in the future?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, get the feeling he would be unsettled by Christmas, and off next summer. Jez, I've got to snap out of this, I'm on a right downer with Meteb at the moment. Think I'm going to stay off here and get some work done instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Mifsud. I prefer that type of smaller striker than the Meteb sort. And i think it fits in more with BCFC's style and ethic. And he won't need to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mifsud is that man all well and good. but mate if Motæb passed the "gj interview" process then surely he wants to play for the club? EDIT: However, i do believe that someone like mifsud would be the one i would go for because he has PACE!!! we have been crying out for a striker with pace for so long that i really hope this deal comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartolona Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would go for Mifsud only because i've seen him play and know what we're getting. On the other hand as City have been watching Emad for a long time and willing to spend £1.5m on him he can't be to bad. Maybe when City heard that Mifsud was available they decided to pull out of the Emad signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm finding it difficult to understand some of the fickleness on this forum of late regarding Emad Meteb. Yes it does appear he has gone against what the club had originally said. Does anyone on here know the real reason he played? was it an "up yours I'll do what I like" or was he misled into playing by his former club? How many people will be moaning in May if Emad has scored 25 goals and we finish in first or second place in the table? Perhaps if we give him some support he will take City to his heart like he obviously has Al Alhy, after all we're always saying there is no loyalty in football then when this bloke decides to show some affection to a club he's been at all his life he gets slammed for it! Going back to the original question I would love both at the club but if we could only sign one it would have to be Meteb for me. Mifsud is undoubtedly a good buy but does not fill me with the same excitement Emad does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Lad Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I would say Mifsud for the same reason, he is proven and we know what he can do. I think we will get both though, I'm still confident that the Metab deal will go through and after releasing 2 strikers, surely we want 2 more in.

matty f Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 does anyone not reckon that we are likely to get in a bigger target man to replace showunmi? or is our style of football affected too much with a big man up front? then again dele paired with mifsud wouldn't do too badly!!!

I think Dele will do to be honest, as our football isnt really geared to hitting it long for a target man. Bear in mind that Brooker is a big physical presence as well, so I think that we probably have enough in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 For me it's Meteb,he looks the better player and all of his fans love him but Mifsud went off the boil last season and the Coventry fans are split on whether to let him go. Lets hope that whoever we get he gets 20 plus goals next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bristol City 93 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Both of them If not though, I'd go for Meteb, he looks a greater prospect, a tough one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
