Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I see the Steve Cotterill knockers are out in force again.... complain when we don't sign players and complain when we do. Same old same old. People still not prepared too give anyone a chance. You mean the ITK's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfctim Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Would be delighted with this, he's always stood out when I've seen P'boro. Particularly that 3-0 drubbing at our place he looked quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 You mean the ITK's. Quite right, thank you. No-one is knocking SC anyway...the board have sanctioned a 3 year deal...they're the ones who claim they've learned from previous mistakes, let's hope they have.

Bar BS3 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Very attack minded apparently. I can't say I know much about him and missed our game v p'boro last season, but he looks some player! Seems to have everything for a wing back/right back. Speed, crossing, tackling, heading. I would like to see him sign for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 To join on a 3 year deal apparently. Really don't understand that - surely 2 is better and more likely to keep a player on his toes? Has this been officially confirmed yet? Where have you seen it's been agreed..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kachina Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Nothing on official site. The only news related pages from Google suggest we are interested, but so are Birmingham, Yeovil & Charlton according to other forums and newspapers. Nowhere reporting a done deal to us so I can see.

I thnki they have a 3 year contract for a 25 yo is a different to a 3 year contract offered to say a 30+, last time I check a footballers career doesn't finish at 30, 30 isn't old for a footballer when most play til 35, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little is 25, so still has sell on value, hence a 3 year deal is the right option IMHO. El-Abd is 29 so in 3 years he will be 32 - no sell on value so wrong decision with that one.

GrahamC Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Perhaps the competition for his signature only offered 2 years and that's why he'd sign for us over them ? Think that's highly likely, but the issue then is in card playing terms when "to hold and when to fold", something we've been pretty poor at in the past. Personally I don't think he's that much better than Moloney to offer a three year deal, but obviously SC does and he's in charge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen him as much as I have moloney, so I can't really compare the two, Moloney is hit and miss some times tho; so if Little can provide a few assists and goals so I'm all for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Oh, I think in a roundabout way it was... Can't wait to find out how much he will earning from the rather reliable and honourable agent that is happy to discuss clients private information and allow it to be posted onto an open forum for all to see, I wonder if Harry would be happy for any player on his list to be represented in such a way?, ah well that's agents for you, of course if he is aware of what happens to that information or if it's actually true or that agent exists.

Personally I think Moloney is very consistent and most teams in L1 would be happy with him in their side. This Little has pace-maybe SC has a wing back role in mind?

Moloney has 2 goals in 124 games, I don't I think he has been quite inconsistant and I wasn't suprised to see him in and out of the side, but as I said I haven't seen enough of little to have a fair judgement of him, the fact he was highly thought of at Peterborugh and that they had offered a new contract says to me that he is a very decent attack minded player, If we are playing 3-5-2 he may well be more suited to the right wing back role, Monloney isn't he's better as an out and out right back, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how likely is it that we'll actually sell Little on for money? How many players go for fees these days? The majority are free transfers and the likelihood is that Little will leave this club a free agent in 3 years time. Surely the main concern is the scenario that has been repeating itself over and over at City in that the manager leaves / is sacked and we have loads of average/crap players on lengthy contract that we can't get rid of? Worst case scenario, we have a poor season and SC leaves next summer and we're in the same shitty situation... One thing you can say about SOD at least all his signings were two year deals and consequently SC has a great opportunity to shape his own team this summer... Again, don't know why the change has been made to dishing out 3/3.5 year contracts again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 If he has signed regardless of how many years are on his contract it looks like it might be (on the face of it) a decent bit of business. Right back isn't an area we're swamped with options, and this lad has won promotion out of this league the hard way (play offs), done a couple of seasons a league above, and was part of a play off squad last year. Considering he was a free too, and has a few years ahead of him, being just 25, could be a shrewd signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
