TimmerD Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 hmm, perhaps all those months ago we should have asked Mr Savage what he thought about us re-signing Mr Murray............. VFM ?????????Due to work, I couldn't go last night so I haven't seen Bas perform. If you look at Johnsons comments they were along the lines of "he is like having a diferrent golf club in your bag". I don't think for 1 min that Johnson thinks Savage will score 20 & make us safe. It seems clear to me that he is here to offer us something we don't already have - i.e a big brute of a forward.Yeah but what kind of golf club - a snapped in half one I would suggest.You are entitled to your opinion about Scott Murraysform since returning, but I would have thought his judgement about a fellow pro would have been respected?

PhatWill Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 It doesn't take long to recognise poor talent (is that an oxymoron?)Poor talent?? You wouldn't no what it was if it came up and bit you on the arse! Or have you been talking to your 'well respected in footballing circles' friend again?Savage came on and caused the Bradford defence problems at the end of the day!He looked decent on the deck, very hard to tackle and Bradford were forced to double mark him at corners which is never a bad thing.He won a couple of corners, made numerous good runs, looked committed - I'd be happy for him to be given more time at City.It's just beggers belief that some of our fans think they can make a judgement so quickly and automatically think they're right.

Lordofthebling Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well looking at SoccerBase.com it seems he has played 13 times (with 13 as sub) and not scored.I'm not saying he is the answer, but give the guy a chance.Everyone is always going on about our scouting network - "look for the bargains" "try the non-league", well when someone with a track record of picking up excellent cheap players does, give them both a break.

Ultimately if his work-rate is good then his physical attributes can be a useful asset at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazareth Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 WHAT DID HE DO WRONGStewart aside there's not exactly much pedigree in our squad is there.Give the chap a chanceI'm all for giving him a chance, but you can also argue the opposite: what did he do that was good? Was he really an improvement on Stewart? The answers are "not a lot" and "no". Apart from anything else the timing of his introduction was not good - it came in the middle of a good spell where Stewart was playing a key role in our attacks.We're not in a position where we can afford to keep players in the team just because they haven't done anything wrong - they need to be doing plenty right.
