leadman Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 this 30 million thats being branded about. has it got into the mind of the players, ah well, were off if we go up but staying if we don't. also, mcoombe branded the villian of the piece by the daily mirror, basso MOM stopped the cricket score soton diserved according to them. i would like to see vasko or fonts in, if wolves have got quick strikers that is. trundle and byfield, worth a shout now, been out for a few and still we aint scoring?

Guest zider_head Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ebanks Blake is nippy I wondered a similar thing if we did spend 30 million i would expect us to bring in say 6/7 players at 3 million a pop and a couple at 6 million (strikers) meaning only Basso and Mcindoe survive really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Nose Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 You don't get much of a striker for £6m these days. Alves cost Boro £10m+ in January and hes has only just got on the score sheet...... If (big if) we get promoted then it's a win win ££££ situation for the present players: 1. Big promo bonus 2. Wage increase on their existing contracts and a 3. High selling price - promotion pedigree - if they go plus they get a chance to see if they can cut it at the very top level. I don't think the £30m is a distraction. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayer Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 If city go up, this statistic means means that the TEAM are too good for this league. Perhaps this team should then be tested in the league above. Maybe one or two signings to strenghthen, but if a massive sprending spree is initiated, you no longer have a team but a group of expensive individuals who are suddenly kissing the badge of City. Then again, with the prem being so strong its a double edged sword. If city do go up and come straight back down, who would you rather have back in the Championship. Would you still want this group of expensive individuals or the team that GJ has now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't think the £30m is a distraction. :noexpression: I agree with Big Nose, £30 million definately will not buy too many top quality Premier League players. In this respect our existing players' jobs are safe as houses if we gain promotion. I still think Steve Lansdown should be really careful with what he says to the media as broadcasting that there's £40 million to spend - if we gain promotion - has started all kinds of potentially damaging rumours.

m42 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 this 30 million thats being branded about. has it got into the mind of the players, ah well, were off if we go up but staying if we don't. I've just got off the phone with a friend having had exactly that conversation. Why on earth would SL allow himself being quoted on that at such a critical point in the season? Not the best timing. These last four games are absolutely mega and 10 points is the bottom line if the month of May is going to be heart attack free. Keep the focus and think about your end of season bonuses lads!! Come on you REDSSSSS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 No place for Elliot then? Most of our defenders are of Premier League quality as well. Elliott is definately of Premier League quality when he's fully fit and at the top of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Okay elliot yes Orr - No, too slow and cant pass that well Carey - Great players but would get done for pace McCombe - Too slow Fountine - Would cut it, good squad player Mcallister - See Orr Riberio - who knows ??? How about Vasko? He was excellent vs Watford, and marked Del Piero out of the game when Hungary played Italy last year so there is surely a good player in there somewhere.
