redredrobin5 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just saw this on Birminghams website, would wages prove a problem for a reserve player in Birminghams Reserves? Birmingham arent silly with wages i wouldnt have thought and the chance of 1st team footie must be appealing and not a million miles away from Bristol. Am i being un realistic like many people with some names we've been/being linked to?? More realistic than Michael Owen!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redredrobin5 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 hes also 31 yrs old, not got a chance in Prem now, has he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howden Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 hes also 31 yrs old, not got a chance in Prem now, has he? I tell you what, I reckon he may be a good buy, or even on a season long loan. We could probably sort his wages to. He will hold the ball well and distribute, plus bang in 15-20. Jobs a goodun!!

Bristol_South_End Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Bent According to this he didn't score for the last two clubs he went on loan to. Might be a bit past it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redredrobin5 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 buy him, no need to loan him, still got a few yrs in him yet i'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 He's record is not great is it ? last 6 years - 175 apps, 21 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_South_End Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 He's record is not great is it ? last 6 years - 175 apps, 21 goals This is my thinking, if he hasn't scored a league goal in over 2 years that's not a great basis to sign a player on, either on loan or buy outright?

Of course you are correct. However, i expect Blackpool fans may have said the same about Marlon Harewood before last Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I like to think City have some better options lined up than Blackpool did, they seemed to sign anyone they could get that wouldn't completely bankrupt them!

BCFCfan Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Past it on my books. Was never that good in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Andy Keogh hasn't got the greatest games to goals ratio either for striker, but like the Marco Gabbiadinis, David Kellys, Paul Kitsons, Tony Thorpes of the past, this is probably their level. Premier league clubs keep gambling on players like these, David Healey is a more contemporary example, as is arguably Dave Kitson, who are prolific in the second/third tiers but never quite make it in the top flight. Without seeing fuller stats to include minutes on the pitch, assists, free kicks won , penalties won, pass completion etc, it's hard to make a judgement about Marcus Bent or Andy Keogh imo, other than to say that they were, anecdotally, more successful previously at this level. The other thing they all appear to have in common is that it seems like they frequently scored vs City!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
