Mifsud, If He's Not Good Enough For Coventry Then Why Is He Good Enough For Us

[Guest scrumpyhead]

If Coventry felt that Mifsud was not quality enough for them then why is he good enough for us. Do we have so sign another 10 goals (at most) a season striker. We need someone who's prolific, not a goal every now and then...we've got enough of them already..... Trundles got a better chance of scoring more than Mifsud. Christ, brick wall.........head.......banging.

[Guest DanC]

If Nine of our players our good enough for Man Utd then why are they good enough for us? I thought we were by far the greatest team.

lets give the man a chance look at Trundle for that welsh shit hit 20+ a season how many did he get for us 6 was it big difrence

[westonred]

Do we have so sign another 10 goals (at most) a season striker.

He got 17 last season ?

[Guest scrumpyhead]

You lot are far to optimistic...........

[Blagdon red]

He scored 16 goals last season, most of them were in the first half of the campaign. As Coventry were absolutely dire in the second half of the season I don't expect this helped his cause, but if he was playing in our side I'm confident he could score 20 a season. We do have players who would make chances for him.

Note too: he scored all those goals (thought it was 17, actually) WITH Adebola at the club and his goal drought came AFTER Adebola left. Maybe that tells you why GJ thinks he could be a useful purchase.

[Guest scrumpyhead]

He got 17 last season ?

Yep, then 19 games without a goal I read. That is sh~t.

Why do you think Coventry feel Mifsud isn't quality enough? He turned down a new contract offer from them. He's got an abundance of the thing we lack up front - pace. He scored at a decent rate in a shit side until the moved him to the wing. Which prolific striker do you think we should sign instead?!

[NickB]

You lot are far to optimistic...........

How is it being too optimistic? Mifsud scored 17 last season whilst playing in the Championship. He is therefore more proven than Trundle was last season (who had never played at this level before) and Metaeb (who is playing in a completely different league). He also scored more than double what our top scorer scored last season, playing for a much worse team...

[sunningdalered]

Not sure whether your's is a serious question - or a vent of the frustration we're all feeling at the moment? Wouldn't blame you if its the latter.

Acqusition targets tend to fall into one of, probably, three groups don't they:

Players who are doing the business right now (trundle, phillips, ronaldo!) - premium priced, GJ doesnt seem to like

Players who haven't been tested at a higher level yet but show potentail (maynard, tyson) - over-priced relative to proven results

Players who aren't doing the business now - but have done in the past and have the potential to do so again (williams, mifsud, emad).

Mifsud is in the last group - and GJ must believe that he can bring out the best in him. This might be because the way city want to set up for this season would suit mifsud better than where he was played at coventry, the combination with dele is proven, and/or GJ believes that a happy player is a better player (and mifsud is unhappy in coventry - unsurprising).

Also, from what others have read / heard there aren't too many coventry fans who think getting rid of him is a good idea!

NO NO NO we need are number 1 target not a panic buy is this the best we can do

Like Nibor said, Mifsud turned down a new deal - that means he's obviously good enough for Coventry.

Don't forget that they've got a new(ish) manager and this is his first chance to shape the squad to his own taste. He's brought in two good strikers, money for Mifsud gives him the chance to do some more dealing.

Give the guy a chance mate!

Coventry were resigned to losing him, rather that wanted to get rid of him, that's why he left them. He will score 15-20 next season, depending on how Gary shifts the partnerships around as he does. The boy is quality and will prove to be a real threat up top next season and will be a great asset, so may i suggest you apply a wet towel to sooth that headbanging and then relax a touch.

What are you talking about it's not that he's not good enough for them just player / manager issue and only a year left on contract - proven ccc striker

IMO - Great striker and i'll look forward to you eating your words like most people have about LJ & LT

[Barrs Court Red]

Take a breath, look at how many he scored last season and then wonder why your more excited about an unproven Egyptian unknown, rather than a proven Championship goal scorer.

[brad blit]

Coventry didnt want to sell him, hence why they tried slapping a £5million price tag on him back in January to warn people him. He was played out of position later last season and was injured towards the end. Mifsud was unhappy at playing wide and asked for a transfer in which they agreed to even though Coleman admitted 'we are losing one of our star players'

I have also spoken to a friend of mine who's a Coventry fan and he said alot are unhappy at his sale but understand after their season last year and being played out of position alot. He said hes a quality player who can work the wings well, is a good worker and with his pace can create something out of nothing.

So to say we are signing a player who isnt any good for Coventry is a little off the mark in my opinion....

We all agreed signing a pacey striker was neccessary and for the reported price of £700k then we have a very good signing on our hands.

[Guest westy]

NO NO NO we need are number 1 target not a panic buy is this the best we can do

This is a wind up right?? Mifsud wasn't available until after the problems with Moteab therefore couldn't have been number 1.

This is a great bit of opportunistic work by GJ and will work out for the best the club.

[PhatWill]

He didn't score in 19 odd games for Cov last season because he wasn't playing alongside Adebola, he was low on confidence due to unrest at Cov, he was unhappy and he wanted to leave Cov.

EDIT : And he was played on the wing by Coleman

Ask coventry fans if they are happy that he is being sold!!

Thing is he is unhappy there and with 1 year left on contract they'd better cash in on him now rather than lose him for free.

[Guest Jaffa08]

How can anyone say hes worst than trundle?

[bh_red]

jesus christ.........i really can't understand what goes through some people's mind!

Mifsud is an Established Proven Championship Goal Scorer - FACT

personally......that's good enough for me......still some people would rather we signed some Egyptian who has dicked us around left right and centre and basically taken the p:ss out of the club and the manager........

personally, I'm still expecting a Prem club (Hull, Stoke, WBA sort) to come in at the last min at knick him.....

Hello all, since your offer was accepted I've been lurking to see how it's being received at your end, just thought I'd add my 2p.

Mifsud is more than good enough for us, there's really no question about that. The reason he's allowed to leave is primarily because his contract is running out in June (although if he was on a longer deal, I'd still be hesitant to keep an unhappy player) and by all accounts he spoke about moving on late last season. Coleman signing Eastwood and perhaps Morrison would certainly have had a Mifsud exit in mind; indeed our chairman said that talks over a new contract were basically a non-starter as he was set on going.

With regards his dip in form, it coincided with his red card against WBA. He came back and had a few goalscoring flashes (away at WBA and at Blackburn) but seemed more unlucky than poor in the second half of the season. I don't think it was just because of Adebola as he still had plenty of chances, he just seemed to do everything but score at times. Even during the barren spell he was always a danger, as you'd expect from a player so quick; and more importantly he never looked like he'd given up, which is always good to see in a player even when off-form.

He wants to play through the middle, and he didn't do this often last season (I've heard that 11 of his goals were when playing out wide) but I suspect that being treated as one of the first names on the teamsheet would give him enough of a boost to start firing again.

Depending on the final fee, I think both sides may have done fairly well out of the deal. All the best.

Thanks for adding some sense to this post. Some are doubting his transfer but I think thats more aggravation from the apparent collapse of the Meteab deal (don't ask......) One question though, are you as a supporter unhappy he's leaving or feel its best for all?

Maybe you need to do a bit of research before you post? It was actually 17 goals last term (11 league) and 10 of those 11 came in 20 odd matches (with dele) witch is brilliant rate. Then when Adebola left and coleman arrived his goaldrought began. Maybe that had something to do with the fact he was played out of position at RM!!!

[chinapig]

Ah the great Bristol City tradition of slagging off a player who hasn't even signed for us yet, let alone played. So let's see, Marvin wasn't good enough for Millwall, Macca wasn't good enough for Wolves and Basso wasn't good enough for Woking! And let's not forget Louis wasn't good enough for Coventry either.

A little of both for me. I warmed to him fairly instantly and I'll be sad to see him go, but at the same time I feel it's right that we make profit on a player who wants to play elsewhere, and indeed could walk out for nothing in the summer.

So long as he doesn't come back to haunt us, of course.

I expect improvement to say the least; I'll be happy if we're sat in 12th come May with nothing to play for, so long as there are signs of progress. Our signings since the takeover have been very encouraging and suggest a bright future, but I'm not one of these who expects instant gratification. I've had 8 years of false promises since relegation.

As for you, I haven't a clue (that's the Championship for you...). You took me by surprise last season to say the least. After you were the side to end our early good form last season with a spanking at the Ricoh, if you keep the same squad (with a few notable additions ) I don't see why you can't be in the playoff mix again.

I see Chris Coleman was quoted yesterday as saying it would be another tough season. Sensible to manage expectations rather than promise the earth. Best of luck anyway.

[brad blit]

But are you happy with the 'apparent' (i use this term lighly as its only forum talk to speak) fee of £700k? Seems cheap to me for a player who was once rated by your team at £5 million to fend off interest from other clubs in Jan.

[Guest sbv]

I'm not sure, really. I've seen other sources that put the fee at around £1.5m, although we'll probably never know. Considering how quickly it was accepted, I'd be a little surprised if it was under the £1m mark though, unless it's purposely to create some kind of counter-bid from another of the sides linked.

[downendcity]

If we've only paid £700k for Mifsud then that is quite possibly bargain buy of the summer so far.

I find it hard to believe though, especially when you consider that Forest wanted a million for Tyson.

Thanks for the input.

It's always nice to see other clubs fans come on here and add to a discussion rather than provoking a response through narrow minded comments.

As has been said, all the best next season apart from when our paths cross

[Guest sbv]

Hope you all have another good season. (with a slight early derailing on August 23rd, of course)

[Guest bcfcred]

What a pathetic post!

He scored 17 goals for a rubbish team last season, with us I'm 100% sure he can do that again or do even better, 17 goals is a bloody good return for a usless team like coventry.

Adebola and him back together again would produce goals.

Trust GJ for goodness sake

cheers mate for your helpful, informative comments.

If some City fans are thinking "weve lost Metab (£1) and found Mifsud (sixpence)" it proves again that some of us can never be happy, that some of us are professional moaners who never see City playing even when they're at a match (if they go that is) because all the time they thinking about the imaginary team that will never appear in City colours.

Mifsud will be brilliant with Gary. Imagine what Dele's thinking and how this will inspire him to give even more.

No I'm pretty sure Dele played alongside McKenzie that day.

I'm inclined to agree and Mifsud's impending arrival is unfortunately being clouded by the Emad saga as well.

Though the Emad deal falling through is very disappointing, we shouldn't forget that Mifsud should be an excellent signing in his own right,

If however the fiasco gives City the impetus to return to Crewe with renewed determination to prise Maynard away then his capture, along with Mifsud, would be a powerful consolation.

I disgaree mate, he realised he was not Coventy had already bought to replace Mifsud and once he realised he put his request in. He was shit for them for 5 months of the season and they are pleased to check get rid.

People seem to forget that this club, on comparison to many clubs in our division, is a small club. Yes we had one great season last year, but teams like Coventry are bigger clubs then us at the moment! Its as simple as that

Mifsud would be a great signing! The sooner people stop thinking we should be signing players like Lita and Phillips etc, when we quite clearly cannot compete financially for these players, the better.

[Spud55]

Are you actually stupid ? What are you basing these strange assumptions on ? Cov don't want to let him go, hence why he's put in a transfer request, players who a club don't want don't put in transfer requests as they are just put on the transfer list.

They have bought Eastwood and Morrison (neither of whom are as good as Mifsud) because they have known for a while that he may leave, Mifsud hasn't left because he's afraid of a striker who has managed a grand total of about 6 goals in the championship ever, Eastwood is completely unproven, he isn't prolific and won't score a lot of goals, as we have seen, what a massive 3 last season, he's not worth the money. I love the way there is a Cov fan on here saying he was by no means shit, but you chose to ignore him and instead take you own evaluation of a player you have seen mabye once, probably not at all, over someone who watched him most of last season. 16 goals in half a season is not bad, his strike partner left and he got stuck on the left wing, where is does not play, if man U stuck Ronaldo at Right back he wouldn't score many goals, wouldn't make him shit though would it ?

I'm sorry but you must either be one of the most moronic people on here or you are on a wind up, sadly from your posts i think you are actually that stupid.

I totally agree that he would be a great signing in his own right. I was talking to a Cov mate yesterday and he seems to think that he's an outstanding talent and that he would be an excellent signing for us. He has also been linked with big clubs in the past. This goal isn't bad either (not that Wednesday will win any awards for defending!) ...

There's very little truth to any of this. Strike recruits were brought in and Mifsud may not have been an automatic starter up front any more, but the feelers were put out with regards a new contract so he wasn't being replaced. His request is a mixture of wanting a consistent start and playing in his preferred position, both of which weren't guaranteed here.

Very, very few people are pleased to lose him (it's more acceptance than joy in those cases anyway) and he was miles away from being shit for the latter part of last season; his only real problem was the lack of goals, but even then Leon Best was a lone striker with Mifsud playing withdrawn.

I disgaree mate, he realised he was not Coventy had already bought to replace Mifsud and once he realised he put his request in. He was shit for them for 5 months of the season and they are pleased to check get rid.

Well not according to a few season ticket holders i know from up there , was played out of position and lost confidence ..still we all have our own opinion

[samo]

It really is a shame that this potentially brilliant signing is being so over shadowed by 'Metebgate'.

Mifsud clearly has some talent and that rare attribute PACE that we've not seen u front at City for donkey's years.

As for those already slagging him off, well, I think they've done a good enough job undermining their argument themselves by seeming to know f-all about the guy, his form or situation.

The guy scored a bag full in the first half of the season, often when paired with Dele Adebola (who also notched one or two in that partnership) then went off form when they changed manager and be was played out of postion.

I think this lad could be a vital piece of the jigsaw if we are to really push for the promised land once again next year.

17 Goals in a crap team is very good IMO! Also Adebola scored a lot more for us in the second half of the season than he did in the first half at Coventry.

Hes got a lot of ability an pace IMO would be a very good signing!

Agree, but with Meteb as well.

P.S....we really shouldn't reply at the same time, confuses people...

Don't seem to happy about him leaving. They obviously like Bristol as an area, very nice things said

****instrawsuckingtractordriving ciderswillingsistermolestingweirdspeaking donkeyriding*******s!!!!!!

what a quote that is.

and we're the backward ones?

the bloke must spend most summers in weston. it's the only donkey association i can come up with.

and the muppets having a pop at ashton gate, sounds like cov are full of these new breed of football fans, you know, the ones who want comfy seets, nice food and a ground with no soul.

that ricoh arena is a very nice stadium but not for football, it'd be suited for tennis if smaller.

[Redhyde]

Noone calls him michael missfud ok. He does erm have not the erm best chance to conversion rate.

[t_b]

Trundles got a better chance of scoring more than Mifsud

Yep, then 19 games without a goal I read. That is sh~t.

You are an idiot.

Trundle went 20 games without scoring between Norwich 20th Oct 2007 & his penalty against Plymouth 15th March 2008.

Only difference I can see is that if we took goals scored by Lee Trundle out of City's games last season we'd have lost out on 3 points. JUST the 3 points.

I bet Mifsud won more games with his goals than Trundle.

Obviously a school boy hence all the posts after half 3. Get back to school son and come join the big boys when you know what your talking about. Should be in bed by now anyhow, what with school day tomorrow.

Ah bless. Realised you've been made to look an idiot so resort to childish taunts?

Are you actually able to disagree with anything I said?

Like how if Mifsud is "s~hit" for scoring 11 league goals last year but having a 19-game barren spell and will therefore score less goals then Trundle - 6 league goals, 20 game barren spell - then you are more than welcome to have a look at actual facts yourself.

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=12919 is Lee Trundle so go have a look.

Back to Mifsud for a mo...Coventry seem genuinely gutted to be losing him, IF he comes here. One quote:-

So it's officially bad news now.

It is also an absolutely STUPID decision, especially by the Club. Miffy at the start of the Season bangs the goals in as if they are going out of fashion especially when he is partnered by Dele.

Dele leaves to go to Bristol, Miffy scores only once since Dele's departure, coincidence ?

Where has Miffy gone to ? Bristol.

Who will partner him there ? Dele.

How many goals will they create and score between them ? Probably enough to gain Bristol promotion this time.

LUNACY !!!!!!!!!

[WarksRed]

Mifsud is a good signing, but......... If we have bid £1.5m on him that has been reported, I'd much rather have seen Maynard sign for us at the £2m that Crewe want.

Crewes asking price was £2.5m ......... ( which was aimed at scaring potential buyers away)
