Ron Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Btw - Webster was never fit during his loan at City and Stern John scored goals everywhere else he went except at City, mainly due to lack of service. Stern John's record for City was more down to his unwillingness to run more than a yard to reach the ball than anyone else's failings. Probably the most frustrating player I've ever seen.

glynriley Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Seems we're not willing to pay the going rate for a player who would improve our squad, in a position we so desperately need to strengthen. Or as Monkeh points out , we're not going to pay over the odds for a player who might only be here for 90 days. Still , it gives people something to moan about.

I assume he either has another move lined up or he's not that bothered about playing football. http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/sport/norwich_city_s_elliott_ward_s_reported_loan_move_to_bristol_city_collapses_1_1511138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, i wonder if your still saying the same thing come Friday evening if we still haven't signed a decent centre back? you and Monkeh will probably be the first to have a little moan, oh how i love this forum!

I never moan about transfers because I'm one of thefew who actually know how they work outside of a computer game they are very complex, I'd be more then happy to start with Fontaine and Carey as CB's against blackburn they have both done resonably well so far this season, if our attack is on form we will score at least 4 it also helps not being one of the "I want it now" generation as you seem to be from, thats the generation who have no consept of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you've not read the link I posted above then? This guy missed 7 months of last season with an injury and will play no part in this season (for Norwich) until January at the earliest. It sounds to me he's more interested in money than playing football and if that is the case , I wouldn't want him here anyway. You won't catch me on here moaning about not bringing in a CB. I think we do need one , but if it doesn't happen , so be it. I'm pretty sure DMc and the board are doing the best they can within their means. After all Keith Millen failed to strengthen at the back for long enough , at least Del has got the sought after LB we've all craved for 2 years or more.

I think you need to start living in the real world and realise that without a solid defence we've got no chance, theres a difference between being spoilt and being realistic and not being scared to vent a view point! city could do a cardiff and change club identity and you'd probably still back them to the hilt. again get real.

RedRaw Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Monk is our main target and as we have untill 17:00 friday to register him for the balckburn I very much doubt thats going to happen considering he was name in Swansea's 25 man squad.....looks like that one's died a death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many right wingers do we have at the club? The answer is 1 if albert gets injured we have no replacement thats why we have a winger who played top flight football in france I might add on trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that got to do with the price of fish? A winger has come to City's attention who is without a club and we are having a look. It doesn't mean we've stopped looking for a defender.

Monkeh Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that. every man and his dog knows we need a centre back we;ve needed once since our second season in the championship, our manager has said we need a right footed commanding centre back and is working on bringing one in, its just some people thinks because there is nothing in the media the club are sitting on their hands, which is not true I'd wager McInnes is working a lot harder then all our previous managers at championship level put together, After all we've freed up space in the wage budget after paying up stewarts contract its only a matter of time before we have one something some people don't seem to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but people seem happy for us to miss out on target after target, and then wonder why we've brought in the rubbish left at the bottom of the barrel? this is what always happens and you wonder why i get fed up.
